iNDIAFl MIND ALERT
Red Man Excels at Ability to Do
Sustained Thinking.
Professor of Psychology Who Has Been
Making Tests Gives Results of
His Investigations.

Austin. Texs-For the last three
years DR.. T. r. Garth, professor of
psychology of the University of Texas,
has been making tests of the mental
capacity of the Indian, the negro and
the Caucasian. These investigations
have brought to light the fact, he says,
that the American Indian has as alert
mind as white people. He recently
spent some time among the Indians Of
New Mexico and Oklahoma, carrying
on his tests.
In Oklahoma. Doctor Garth visited
the Chilocco Indian Training school,
which is supported by the government,
dian children through the tenth grade
He also visited an Indian school in AL
buquerque, N. NJ, which has Indian
students from both New Mexico and
Arizona.
"In all I tested about 1000 Indians,
something over half Of whom were
full-blood, the rest ranging from one
eighth to n-sixteenths Indian" he
said. "Some Of the Indians are very
promising and have great pOssibili
ties. Heretofore the average Of the
Indian for intelligence rating has been
below that Of the white. But the In
dian excels both the white and negro
in mental fatigue, that Is, ability to
continue longer at any given mental
process"
In the color preference test which
Doctor Garth conducted, out of
group of 100 Indian students, SO pre-
ferred red first, % preferred blue
first, while green, orange, yellow, pur-
pie and white occupied middle or end
positions in the scale of preference.
Il have tried this color test among
college Students" said Doctor Garth,
"and blue is the color preferred first.
Psychologists consider the selection of
blue as sign of intelligence. When
tried the riddle test, thought surely
the Indians would find stumbling
block, but they answered readily and
after the test was over one of the In
dian girls came up to ask me rid
de-"
Out of the general mental tests
which Doctor Garth has conducted has
grown the problem of studying the
psychology Of Indian personality, ac-
cOrding to which certain traits of
character found in the Indian are COM
pared with the same traits found in
the whites. In the mental tests which
he conducted on the recent trip, Doc
tor Garth used the form issued by the
National Research council which is
very much interested in this work.
The American Association of Science
also has assigned to Doctor Garth a
fund and given other aid as
evidence Of interest In the work

JAP FARM TENANTS COMBINE
ais Associations Organized in Japan
for Protection of Common
Interests.

Tolyo.-With the remarkable awak-
ening among Japanese industrial work
ers, there has recently been noticeable
in Japan growing tendency among
tenant farmers to form combinations
for the protection of their common
interests as against the landlords.
This is another evidence of the
swift social development In Japan
along western ideas.
AT the end of March, 1921, such
combinations Of tenant farmers num-
bered 416, with an aggregate member
ship of 1887. During 1920 40S cases
of dispute involving 5,235 landlords
and $4,000 tenant farmers were re-
ported.
The most frequent cause was de-
mand for lower rent.
