After 40 minutes of the fastest play

ing high school basketball team sent the
Peoples academy quintet of Morrisville
down to defeat Saturday evening at the
Spaulding high gymnasium by score OF
81 to %. As game, it was far superior
to the contest between Spaulding and

the local team won by Il score Of 80 to "a.

down and played classy passing game,
Mann was again the high scorer for
Spaulding, dropping six through the loop
from the floor and one foul, while every
man on the team was credited with two
baskets or more.
For Peoples, Carroll Silloway, the cen
ter was by far the individual star of the
eyning and looks TO be one OF the fastest
centers in the league, as he shot five
baskets from the floor and made seven
fouls good, out OF eight tries. His points
for the evening numbered IL, or about
three -fourths of the teams total. Dur
ing the last few minutes OF play he was
shifted to left forward in order to give
the team better chance for catching up,
and Montgomery was put in center in
his place; but the change came too late
to be of any benefit TO the team.
The game started with Carroll Silo.

WHO IS predetermined?
BY H. Addington Bruce


= INSTITUTIONS for the feeble-minded never lacks
inmates. On the opposite they are overcrowd-
- ed, and new buildings have continually to be
erected to accommodate this unfortunate class OF
our population.
To solve the problem thus raised, and reduce
the proportion of feeble-minded in the nation, va
rious remedial measures being urged and
adopted-strcter marriage laws sterilization, etc.
Often 1 find myself wondering If restrictive meas
like these will really accomplish the end in
view.
find myself wondering, indeed, If there may
not be a danger of their eliminating human re-
sources that might be made of real value to So
ciey. That is to say, doubt whether the socalled
feeble-minded are always born incuraoly deficient
In brain matter.
For some time certain facts have more and
more impressed upon me the possibility that in
all institutions for the feeble-minded there
may be many inmates who would never have been
there if they had been subjected to intensive edu
cation in early infancy.
Unquestionably since the establishment of
clinics for testing the mental state of school chill
dren many children supposed to be feeble-minded
have been shown to be mentally backward from
other than true brain weakness. Durable
physical defects and neglect to give the children
proper education have accounted for their back
wardness.
But many others. 1t cannot be denied, shown
by the tests to be really feebe-minded in the COM
monty accepted meaning of the word The ques-
ton is:
Might not even some of these, perhaps many
of them have been brought to normality if
earnest effort had been made to develop their minds
while they still were very young?
Cases on record that seem to me to justify
the raising of this question. l have in mind par
ticula-ly the of that famous authority on lit
erature and art, Karl White.
At his birth Witte was accounted feeble-minded.
Even his mother thought that he doomed to
life of idiocy.

Stand by the President.

The President is right in standing firmly for the
selective draft plan of raising the war army, and
If he appeals to the country for pressure upon the
recalcitrants in Congress the country will support
him with stanch patriotism This issue involves the
safety of the nation and the effectiveness of all
efforts to bring the to early and victorious
end. The army recruiting bill upon which Presi-
dent Wilson insists represents the best Judgment
of our military advisors and the crystallized expe-
rience of the European democracies with whom we
are cooperating. On what ground Of reason or
patriotism Congressman fly in the face of that
experience and set up their own politically tainted
opinion against that expert judgment? Those who
think it smart politics to oppose measure which
in their hearts they know to be right and impera-
lively needed will find In the end that the countrys
mind is not sordid and craven they evidently
consider it.

The Seven Billion War Budget.

The Senates passage of the seven billion dollar
war finance bill by a. unanimous vote ana without
material amendments heightens the Impressive
mass of the action already taken by the House. The
entire Congress is thus solidly behind the Ad-
ninistration for an unsparing prosecution or the
war. II is noteworthy and very gratifying fact
that in the Senate as in the House, discussion OF
the measure was wholly free from partisanship.
There are no Republican, Democratic lines in
this supreme test of the nations strength and
shirt There are no fundamental divisions of
any kind Differences of opinion concerning ways
and means will arise inevitably, but those of
the minority who most emphticaly opposed the
declaration of war are earnestly committed
to it's vigorous prosecution.
This manifest spirit, along with the immense
ness of the war fund which has been granted, can
not fail to impress the German leaders profoundly,
and the German people also when the news finally
leaks into them. The Hohenzollerns' hope that
Americas part in the would be hampered by
serious divisions of sentiment or judgment is ex
ploded by the unanimity with which Congress has
acted on the first of the important measures
to come before It, And the Hohenzollerns' con-
tempt for our ability to affect the outcome on the
struggle will be somewhat disturbed, we imagine
by the tidings that Americas first shot is
billions of dollars the largest single war budget
in the history of the world.
Congress is to be commended for the single
mindedness and expedition with which it acted on
will be won and will be shortened. The country
now looks to Congress for equally wise and prompt
action on the military service bill.

casted somewhat better business con-

give abundant evidence that the peace
OF victory which follows will reveal q
