New York, June 27. - Most

Those who would give genuises

forty to become parents according
to Caspar L. Redfield, Chicago
member of the American Genetic
association. Mr.. Redfield declares
that the majority of the worlds
brilliant citizens are the children
OF men and women of forty years
or more.
"The only great men whom we
have been able to discover who
were born of young parents, says
Mr.. Redfied, were William the
Conaueror and Frederick the
Great"
Aspects and effects of that
strange phenomenon called gen
iuso have always beguiled scien-
lists into study of its vagaries,
causes and the nearness to less
desirable state of mind Insanity
which it SO nearly resembles at
times.
But why should the child of the
middle-aged be possessed OF what
almost any other mother would be
pleased to see develop in her dear

Tridon, that the child of couple
born when the parents are no
longer young is sure to be the SUI
9erior of the first born or even
he second born.
''The first born is sure to be in

when the parents have gradually
become better adapted to each

between them than in the first
years of married life.
"Gothe's parents were old when
he was born. So were Napoleon's.
And so were those of most famous
men who were not the first or sec

But what is it about a middle
aged mother and an old father that
makes for genius?
"The discomfort of the child who
finds himself with parents that

normal balances have been impaired. The channels of distribution have been clogged, the relations of labor and management have been strained. We must seek the readjustment with care and courage. Our people must give and take. Prices must reflect the re- ceding fever of war activities. Per haps we never shall know the old levels Of wage again, because war in- variably readjusts cOmpensations. and the necessaries of life will show their tnseparable relationship, but we must strive for nOrmalcy to reach stability. All the penalties will not be light nor evenly distributed. There is no way of making them so. There Is no in- stant steps from disorder to order. We must face condition of grim reality, charge off our losses and start afresh. It Is the oldest lesson of civilization.

A Tribute to Miss Sarah J. Roraback.
 Teacher and Friend, From For
 mer Pupil.
 Since this issue of the News ap- pears on Miss Roraback's birthday. it seems permissible at this time t@ offer tribute of appreciation, how ever inadequate, to one, who has given to the town so many years Of devoted and true service.
 The years which were passed un- der her guidance were, for most of her pupils, the years of the early teens, those formative years when ideals count so much toward the de- velopment of ways of thinking which later crystalline into principles of action. In looking back over the time spent with Miss Roraback it seyznH to me that she was especially adapt ed for her work with young people. for her own ideals were so high ans so sure.
 Her love for teaching and for an that it stood for could not do other wise than promote a cooperative zeal in her pupils; and her school room, as remember it, was charac- terized by an atmosphere of har- monious effort and eager interest in the present tasks. Her own never failing self-control and poise went far toward maintaining an orderly behavior among her boys and girls. and they understood without the need for repeated exhortation ]had she expected their best in every res pect. With a rare detachment from her own concerns, she invariably put her school work first and herself last giving her time and strength in full est measure.
 Her sympathy was ever ready and her interest in every pupil, past or present, was always keen. Some times we feel that the best persPeo- tive is attained only by the passage of time; so it was gratifying to hear a member of one of Miss Roraback's classes this last year say at the time of her resignation, q am sorry Miss Roraback has resigned. She takes so much interest in what we do. Nobody else could take her place" That is not only true today. but it has been true throughout her whole period of teaching in the Ca- naan School, as her early graduates can testify. She truly has shown
 "A heart at leisure from itself,
 To soothe and sympathize."
 Surely she has the gratitude and affection of the many for whom she has given the very best of her life.

It gives me pleasure today, March tenth-Miss Roraback's birth day-to honor one who has served so long and so faithfully in our schools.
 She was wise principal, and a good friend to the teachers under her. We could always take our difficulties to her, and were sure of sympathy and wise counsel.
 Her first thought was for her work interested in every pupil, not only while they were in school, but after they left, keeping in touch with them.
 She was anxious to know what her pupils were to choose for their life work, that she might help them in their choice of schools for further preparation. And now that she has retired from active work in the school, she is no less interested in the work or in the pupils. I feel her spirit of helpfulness will long re- main in our village school.
 l wish also to speak of my asso- citation with her in library work. She was in perfect sympathy, and I am sure is now, with all t5at pertains to our work there. She showed by her @tiA"de and by what she said, how "o""h she appreciated our little h.
 and was always putting the

East Canaan, Ct. March 192II To the Editor of the News: My Dear Sir:
 In speaking to the passing of our dear friend and teacher, Miss Sarah J. Roraback from her more than hnH a century of conscientious servic9. calls for more than a casual notice 50 years is long time. What \ may say at this time will soon be forgotten. Not so with her work It will not be forgotten while schcg- ars live that have been under her tuition. It cannot be measured now, but will live through time.
 It has been my pleasant duty dur ing 55 years of service, as a member of your School Board to from time ts time visit her school, and never without feeling that it had been an inspiration to me.
 1 with Miss Roraback win soom pass beyond this life. But her work will live after her. And if "ow faculty" fails to suitably note her passing, the children who have been under her tuition twill cry outn. Thanking you for giving mo an opportunity to add my simple tribute to one that believe is entitled t@ more than a passing notice.
 Sincerely yours,

subtler modulations Of form. His draw

He essays a prodigiously difficult tour
de force, as in the "Mannequin," with
its daring elaboration on theme of
costume painting, and if he makes us
think Of one of the Enfantas of Velas-

also makes US think Of the distance he
is from the maestria inseparabla, from
such triumphs Of theirs as he has,

But at least he makes us think of bril-

that by itself is boon.
There is strange and beguiling vi

One of the most important of the cam

drawn. One pauses with delight over
the linear refinement in the work. But
what stays longest in the mind is
sense of Miss Thayer's having realized
here a sweet, Interestingly human
presence, and of her having enveloped
it in an atmosphere of beauty. She
can paint her portraits in many keys.
