Mechanical Mind Reading

Q INSTITUTION of the mental test for exami-
- nations in the grading of school children has
proved one of the most helpful results of expert
mental psychology. However, there are a great
many conservative educators who prefer a rigid sys-
tenn OF grading based upon examinations at the end
OF each term. Even an occasional child, who COM
mits suicide rather than face a series of examina-
ons, has failed to teachers to the attitude of
a certain type of child toward the horror of being
asked to write all he knows certain subject in
a given length of time.
Recently British psychologist evolved a
method for testing the emotional capacity of chill
dren as accurately the present system Of mental
tests registers the intellectual capacity Where the
mental test divides all children into the precocious
the normal and sthe subnormal, the emotional test
divides them into sensitives, normals and insens-
tives.
By ingenious use of the galvanometer it was
found that sensitive" would register such phys-
cal disturbances as dilation of the smaller blood
vessels and activity of sweat glands at the mere
thought of pinprick, while the "nsensitiv regis
tered no reaction even to the pnprick itself The
child classified normal" came between the two
extremes with but slight reaction to so small an
emotional disturbance. The discoverer Of the emo
tional test believes it will be great aid to the
teacher in understanding the unusual type of child
while combined with the mental test it should prove
important factor in vocational guidance
Many parents will perhaps suggest that the
emotional test be used children when they are
about to face their term examinations The reac-
ton Of a sensitive child under that condition might
prove to the most conservative educators that it is
time find humane substitute for the written ex-
animation.

Help Wanted.

n ECENT loss of life and property by fires must
IN have impressed Washington with the need
Of observance of Fire Prevention Week, which
starts today. Churches schools, theaters, stores,
street cars, and the police and fire departments
have been commandeered and will teach fire preven-
ton and combat carelessness, which is believed to
have caused the runous fire in the National Hotel
and chiefly responsible for fires during the last
fiscal year, according to the annual report of the
fire department.
The campaign to preach observation of fire de-
partment regulations with cleaning up of rubbish to
prevent spontaneous combustion and conhagration
has been thoroughly planned that every one in
the city should receive the message but the
of the educational program will depend upon execu-
ton of the instructions received.
Delay in cleaning up cellars or storage rooms,
thoughtessness in disposing of smouldering cigar
and cigarette butts, and carelessness in handling
matches may result in the destruction of some one
of the national capitals most beautiful and famous
structures and, in this of economy to prevent
hardship, we cannot afford such losses.
The local fire department has been battling
against odds. 1t is undermanned, not yet COM
pletely motorized, and the department heads have
been unable to conduct inspections frequently
as thoroughly as desired because of lack Of Con-
gressional appropriations for these purposes
This condition calls for the assistance of every
in Washington if the city is to be protected.
May the teamwork that prevailed in former days,
when all fought the flames by pulling hose wagons
and forming bucket brigades, be manifested by the
determination of every citizen to assume the re-
sponsbility of learning the lessons, which will be
taught this week. to prevent fires and fire losses by
practcing prevention throughout the next year.

which make differences In this instance, IL just
happens that rairoad Is common carrier. Mr.
Ford therefore, could not use one to oppress an
other motor car company Any industrial rival has
the same right to his railroad thathe has at>the
same rates and he cannot discriminate against such
"a rival in furnishing cars or other facilities. His
factories may make his railroad profitable but the
railroad could not do the same good turn by his
factories.
Nor does it make whit of Difference to the
public whether Mr.. Ford built the railroad or
bought it. whether it had been dedicated to public
usea before he got it, or not AS common car
rier 1t is dedicated perpetualy public use il the
public cares to use it. Many railroad has had to-
carry passengers when II did not wish to, and the
freights Of others than its owners, when they Sc
riously objected They were not even allowed to
favor Themselves and their own business.
Moreover Mr.. Ford is not the only industrial in
terest owning transportation property. The United
States Steel has two railroads which haul the ore
from its mines to the upper lake ports, and another
to haul it from the lower ports TO its mills. These
roads all do general business But iefills in the
space between these upper and lower ports with
fleet of boats which carry little but ORE and no
passengers, only occasional zone taking back
coal The Journal might also find that Mr.. Ford is
guilty Of other investment crimes. He owns forest
lands from which he gets the mbers he uses in his
factories and an iron mine from which he may get
his steel ,s-.. 81.
Mr.. Ford has to have something in which to in
vest his income, besides taxes and in reaching out
along the line of his initial business enterprise he
manages to concentrate his energies and capital
Even the Muscle Shoals investment, if he makes it
will not be far afied as will promote agricultural
prosperity on which his prosperity is based.

washington, to use acres and acres
OF the most expensive properties in
the city; nor to cut down the
grandest trees growing thereon
many of them over a century old.
On those properties we erected, at
Federal expense, rows and rows OF
the most hideous buildings imagin-
able-and to what end? To fulfill
the demands of war, The govern
ment did this. We understand that
the longevity of not a few Of these
structures is now expiring; that
they contain thousands upon thou
sands of office and other expensive
materials. The buildings and all
this are to be sold. and a very neat
sum will be realized therefrom.
Now. il our Legislators will arrange
for IL, this sum could be used to
the ends of peace. education and
training of American boys and
girls. In short. on a piece OF prop
erty in the city. suitable in all par
ticulars and situated at some point
within the shortest possible dis
tance from all the schools. there
should be erected a modern. COM
modious. and attractive public
school museum. to be used. in all
respects, in the way in which St.
Louis uses her Public School Mu-
scum.
In our Federal museums in Wash
ington there are simply tons Of
unused material, and a board OF
experts could readily select from
this an ample amount to stock a
public school museum in this city
from garret to cellar. Donations
would follow in due course as We
have many wealthy, citizens here,
and many who send their children
to Se public schools where they
are expected to get thu initial train
ing in all the arts and in all the
professions. This they cannot
properly obtain unless oral and
other instruction is supplemented
by the use of the actual material.
I am for a public school museum
situated in the heart of Washing
ton, D. c.. and for putting the en-
terprise on foot at the earliest
practical time. that the present
generation may enjoy its advan-
tages as soon as possible.

Plea for Public School

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
There is at least one city in the
United States that supports a pub
lie school museum. and that city is
st. Louis. Perhaps there are others.
but II So. the fact is unknown to
me. What I mean by a public
school museum is separate
structure apart from the school
buildings proper, sustained and
conducted along the lines Of mod
erp museology. Such an institu-
ton contains in its collections all
the necessary objects required by a
teacher to illustrate what Is aimed
to impart to the pupils in the vari-
Gus branches of the school currfc-
ulum, and these collections should
be supplemented by. working

as possible that have reference to

UphOlds Street Vendors.

| To the Editor, The Washington Hesld:
Passing the window of a promi-
nent grocer recently. the writer's
attention was drawn to q display Of
a basket of fruit conspicuously
marked "s1.0o." conveying to the
mind of the uninformed the idea OF
cheapness. The contents, clearly
discernibIe, consisted of Toksy
grapes, fraction Of a pound, pears,
apples, l orange, 1 banana, jelly
l gill.
On the street. push cart vendors
were selling apples, pears and
! oranges of quality equal or su-
perior to these. at 5 cents each;
bananas rs and 80 cents a dozen;
most beautiful clusters of Tokays
at Is cents a pound. The jelly. in
smallest containers seen in the mar
ket, was certainly not worth more
| than IL cents. Sixty cents for the
whole would have furnished q
liberal profit. l allow for all OF
the usually cited extra expenses. but
insist, at the same time, on taking
into consideration the vastly great
er bulk Of sales In addition to such
profit the merchant was demanding
forty cents clear velvet" If that
were not profiteering, where does
profiteering begin?
In fact of such situation we read
from the Washington Post Of Octo-
Der the following: Seek to Curb
Vendors"
Merchants and manufacturer
will work for police regulation.
"A committee representing the
Merchants and Manufacturers AS
sociation will be appointed to con-
fer with the District Commissioners
regarding proposed amendments to
the police regulations governing the
activities of licensed street venders
1t has been proposed to amend the
regulations to prohibit the vendors
from occupying stands on the streets
except at designated places, to pro-
hibit them from stopping at other
places except long enough to COM
plete a sale after they have been
stopped by a customer, and to make
it unlawful for them to ply their
trade between 10 at night and in
the morning. 1t is probable that
the committee will rscommtnd the
adoption of this or similar amend
ments. on the ground that the
activities of some of the venders al
present constitute a nuisance and an
impediment to established business, e
Seemingly well justified is Senator
King in his reported charges tina,
retailers and manufacturers IN
| every State had Illegally combined
to maintain high prices. Senator
King (Democrat), Utah, declared
the Attorney General should send
to the penitentiary thousands OF
consiprators responsible for the
paralysis OF trade"
A remedy for the abnormal degree
| of unemployment and for much
| crime (in which latter Washington
Is reported as leading all cities
equaling 1t in size) rests in quick
sales and small profits" The re.
verse Is now the rule. With resto.
ration Of fair prices for fair quality
of goods, millions from the mode.
rate salary classes will resume nor.
NAL buying. and the wheels of in:
dustry will soon be humming.
