Time was when only the fashy woman,

A few of the more daring older ones
did, too, but it was applied ever so
lightly, and in the greatest secrecy OF
the boudoir.
Matter of Course Now.
What would our grandmothers say
of the fapper today, shamelessly ap-

must provide courses to meet the needs of diff
fercnt types of children. The big problem is
the general direction of children in education
and occupation.
Psychology helps also in the question of
behavior, although that is secondary prob
lem" continued DR.. Hickman. "For instance,
we may get fourteen-year- boy in school
who in reality has the intellect of nine
year-old. Yet he is expected to behave like
a fourteen-year- He should be in the
sixth grade but has fourth grade men
tality. The teacher complains that he is rest
less and gets others into trouble. He plays
truant and is generally something of a prob
lem for all concerned. An intelligence test
soon shows that such a boy belongs in the
fourth grade, where he will be taught some
thing that he can comprehend and where fis
interest will be challenged In the upper grade
ne does not know what he is being taught.
Everything is hazy in his mind, and he seeks
other outlets for his activity
"Or take the reverse of such a case We find
a boy who has mentality that fits him for
grade much in advance of the one in which
he has been placed. He, too is restless and
dissatisfied in school. Nothing interests him,
and he finds relief in making mischief We
suggest in such case that the student be
advanced to the class to which his mentality
entities him. Generally it will be found that
when the student is rightly placed the COM
plants will be heard no more"

City of New York has been called service

In general, they are children who furnish
school problems, because, like the cases that
have been outlined, they have not been placed
in the proper paths. Last year more than
1,100 children were examined at the clinic.

completed in about 80 minutes In the case of
older children probably forty-five minutes is

Some one of the standard scales for establish
ing the mental age is used--usually the Binet
intelligence scale, or in the case of children of
eleven or more years of age, the Yerkes point
scale or the Stanford revision scale Various
supplementary tests are always used in order
to make a diagnosis of the child's mental
status.
Not only children sent from all the citys
schools-children who, under old conditions,
would simply founder into worse conditions

society. Before any effort is made to provide
work for such family the children are sent

"Not in the slightest, contrary to the old
notion that boys are smarter than girls" re-
piled DR.. Hickman emphatcally. "If there is
any reason to educate boys and girls separately
it must come from another reason than any
difference in mentality"

asked if he would not rather have such a posi-

struggle and worry, rather than go on battling

such work would not satisfy him. He would
not be happy and constantly stimulated in

him to enter college and prepare for profes-
