AT BRAIN SWITCHBOARD.

Yesterday we published letter
from a school teacher who was
somewhat discouraged because of
the difficulty in teaching boy
years old to read The boy was
bright in other studies.N but after
two or three years in school he
knew only six letters and IA words.
The fauit was something ol a
family characteristic, since his
three older brothers had had the
same trouble but in lesser degree.
He stammered slightly. which de-
feet he had gotten from his mother.
A psychologist had found him ap
proximately normal. except that he
suffered from alexia.
AleXia is a condition in which
the subject sees no meaning in a
printed or written word. There is
no trouble with vision. The eye sees
the word, but to his mind, it is moth
ing more than set of straight and
curved lines. For example: The
word horse does not suggest an ami
NAL, horse, but is merely a COM
bination of marks. Since 1t means
nothing the mind does not hold on
to the exact arrangement of the
marks necessary to make the word.
ouc SCCS dI OuCC THAI iCduitle 10
rather complex mental process.
register in the visual center in the
brain, thence the impulse travels to
other centers, the combination of
marks stirs up the imagination
which calls forth the image of a
horse The memory center may be
stimulated. If the word is spoken,
the impulse travels over to the
speech center and the machinery
for making the word horse is set in
motion. If the reading is continued,
the eye and the attention must tyav-
ell ahead of the word being read at
a properly adjusted rate and space.
All of this is complicated and re-
quires many different nerve cells
and f1bers. These telephone ex-
changes are normally bound to-
gether by a maze Of communication
wires. Brains differ in the thor
oughness with which they are
wired with these intercommunicat-
ing wires. Fine brains are well
wired. Poor ones are poorly wired.
The same brain differs in the
grade of wiring in different parts.
A fine orator has his speech center,
his memory center, his reasoning
center, and imagination center well
wired together. A prize fighter has
little wiring in the above centers.
But he is finely wired in his muscle
centers. A boy with alexia is poor
ly wired in his secondary sight CEN
ter. He sees the marks which make
the word horse, but no impulse
travels to mis- imagination center or
memory center or certain parts Of
his perception center.
AleXia was first written about in
1877. but not much was added to
our knowledge of the subject until
Hinshelyood's paper appeared in
1917. In 1920 Wallin of St. Louis
studied 95 cases found in the
schools Of the city. OF 2,116 diff
cult pupils sent him for study 4.4s
per cent had alexia. It was four
times as prevalent among boys

Partner of Providence.

Rain that was badly needed by the growing
wheat and the sprouting corn has fs''ar as..-
generally in Nebraska within the last few days.
Nature is looking after her own. The earth has
been well warmed by the sun and now the m ois-
ture will gefresh every growing thing.
Just as is the killing Of the peach crop ],
frost rumored every year, so are premature pre-
dictions of calamity from dry weather made for
other products. Between good harvest and a
short one there can be but one choice. The
farmer will always take the big yield, and quite
rightly. The full duty of all those engaged in

Stepping on States Rights.

Ancient principles and beliefs are coming in
for some rather rough treatment these days, es-
pecially at rhe hands of congress. One of the
been that which allows each state sovereign con-
troll over affairs within its borders, where such
control does not actually transcend the Constitu-
ton of the United States, and is not contrary to
good public policy. If measure offered in the
senate by Mr. Kellogg of Minnesota should be-
come law, the doctrine will receive blow that
wilt Just about end its usefulness Under the
provisions OF the bill the president is authorized
ito maintain through federal courts and other
wise and irrespective of any state law, the rights
of aliens in the United States" Aimed directly
at the anti-J Japanese law of California, which is
to some extent copied in Nebraska, the measure
will permit the invasion of state at any time
by the federal power. Multiplying state control
of the interests of its people, the measure opens
the door to possible abuses that are so obvious
as to require no elaboration. Now direct chan
mel is open for the invocation of the federal
power. When local authorities certify to the
governor that the processes Of the courts can
not be enforced, the state executive is obliged
to cali on the president Of the United States for
assistance to restore order. On very recent
occasion Mr.. Harding declined to send federal
troops to scene Of disorder holding it to be
the business of the state authorities to put down
the trouble He was right in this. The Kellogg
measure will not aid in setting the Japanese
question, nor do much to strengthen popular
government

A Farm Unit in CONGRESS.

Closer regard and more effective work for
the interests of the middle west are to be ex-
pected from the formation of what is known as
the "agrarian bloc" in the senate. A similar or
ganization is reported to be under contempla-
ton in the lower house, and between the two,
the needs of<agriculture could be much more
strongly presented.
No one needs have any fear that the farmers
are going to obtain any special advantages that
will react on the urban population Agriculture
has always been so situated that the farmers
have the worst OF it. They are not seeking to
drag other industries down to the present eco
nomic condition Of agriculture, but only to lift
agriculture up to the general level.

COrns and Bunions.

Miss W. NJ. writes: What is the
best cure for corns and bunions?"
REPLY.
You can remove corns with the
ordinary corn medicines sold on. the
market. They will return unless
you wear proper shoes. Bunions
are a different matter. Unless you
submit to an operation you proba-
bly, will submit to your bunions as
long as you live. Wearing broad
toed shoes and keeping the toes of
the foot separated by suitable ap-
paratus cure a few cases.
