BY Frederic ]. Haskin

Washington. D. c., Nov. 13.-Scient-
lists. studying the records. hero OF the
intelligence tests applied to American
soldiers, have reached the conclusion
that these men had on an average the
intellectual development which is con-
sidered normal for a boy IA years old.
This does not seem very f'attering to
us as a nation. but 1t is borne out by
Thomas A. Edison. who as is well
known. has been conducting some in
telligence tests of his own on men who
apply to him for employment. He
expressed himself as amazed at the
low average OF intelligence which his
tests have revealed. He says that not
more than two per cent of the adult
population can understand self-evi-
dent fact when II is put before them.
These disturbing opinions from high
authorities are borne out in n way
by the new school of psychologists.
Their Investigations tend to show that
an individual who is not given proper
opportunity to develop his mind and
personality does remain a child in all
those respects In which his develop
ment is retarded. They would say that
the typical American man of busi-
ness. while highly developed in his
special line, is "infantile" a whole,
because he is undeveloped in so
many other ways.
This view of course cxcites the an
tagonism of every good American, but
II IL perhaps worth examining Just
for the sake OF understanding a point
OF view we cannot share.
In the first place It Is to be noted
that this view gets good deal Of cor
roboration In every day life. How
often you hear IT said of some man
that he is just great big over
grown boy" That may, according to
the psychologists, be scientific descrip-
ton OF his mind and personality.
GRowN-UP BABIES
Many women are wont to remark
that their husbands, brothers, or even
their fathers are Just big boys. but
a good deal of evidence can be brought
forward to show that women are on
an average oven more infantile than
men. Men, In order to make living,
have to achieve n certain degree of
maturity. They may have boyish traits
but they cannot afford to have the
helplcssness of children Women, on
the other hand, know that an ap-
pearance of helplessness. IL accom-
panied by good looks. is often great
asset In the pursuit of husband. Thus
society encourages women to hold on
to any infantile traits they may have
The 'cuteness." the helplcssness. the
Ignorance. which so many OF them af-
feet, are fnfantile The woman NAV use
these tricks consciously in pursuit of a
man, but the mere fact that she uses
such tricks at all Is an indication. ac-
cording to the psychologists. that she
has never become fully adult. This
prevailing infantilsm of women is
widely recognized in popular slang
and popular songs, which reveal far
more of our folk physiology than does
our formal literature. When grown
up ladies', act like babies, I've just got
to love 'em. that's air.
The ladies know that. And IL is no
trouble at all for them to act like
babies, because most OF them have

DID YOU EVER GROW UP?

physically. say the scientists.
1t is not possible to summarize here
ALL of the evidence which might be
brought forward to prove that the

theater are specially significant. how
ever. The adult desires TO understand
life. The child wishes to cultivate his
illusions about 1t. Children read fairy
stories. Most Of the stories in our mag
azines. nearly all of our movies. most
of our novels and most of our stage
plays are fairy tales in effect. That is.
they all foster lovely illusions about
life, rather than study the truth of
it. Tho American public is nearly al
ways antsgonized by any work OF art
which sets forth the truth about life.
Why write about such ugly things
when there are so many pleasant
things to write about?'' is the formula
always used.
Tell me a nice pretty story. Daddy"
is what the same individual was say
his point OF view changed. asks the
psychologist.
Do other nations differ from us in
this respect? 1t is probable that in all
parts OF tho world most men and
women never grow up, but in the high

probably a larger percentage OF real
adults. as indicated by the much larger
number of persons who show n mature
taste In literature. drama. art and
music, and have mature outlook on
life.
EDUCATION TO BLAME
What then is the cause of our failure
to bring ourselves to real maturity I?
Mr.. Edison has the support of most of
the experts when he lays the chief
blame on education. Our education
teaches the child a lot of rigid beliefs
instead of teaching him to think. But
above all II bores him. Literature.
science, history-the things which
help any individual to understand and
appreciate lifc-arc made inexpressibly
dun for the youngstcr. He loses all in
terest in them.
"Thc moment school is not play, It
is an injury says Mr.. Edison. 'I
don't know quite the age at which :,
child's mind atrophics. but IT is some
where between the ages OF IL and IL"
Here Mr.. Edison bears out the psy-
choanalysts to perfection. The child q
Intellectual development is arrested by
boredom somewhere between II and
~. and along most lines IL never ad-
vances thereafter. A little later the
child becomes interested In making
money. and that remains the individ-
ual's most Vital interest all his life
His character and personality mature
after fashion, but these can never
reach full maturity without an all
around mental development Hence the
fact that the grown man so often has
the tastes, tho viewpoint and the
amusemcnts of high school hoy.
A change In our system of educa-
tion seems to be agreed by all author
tiles to be the fundamental need. Most
of our literature and drama, film and
otherwise, Is infantile and fosters the
infantile attitude toward life nut

Street Names Should Be Changed

There should be delay in acting according to the
suggestion Of the posoice department for the change
of duplicated street in Pueblo. The number Of
such duplicates is much greater than commonly sup
posed and the confusion and trouble arising therefrom
must increase as the city grows.
In most of the streets or avenues is in a
scarcely peoped suburb but in considering the subject
would be well to make all necessary changes at the
time.
There is no lack of good names to choose from and
recent historical events personages might well
be commemorated or honored in Pueblo street names.

Naval Reduction Assured

Formal acceptance of Secretary Hughes proposal for
reduction of naval ornaments Gin principle far out
weighs the reservations to matters of detail At yes
terdays meeting the representatives of Great Britain
Japan, France and Italy spoke in cordial endorsement
of the American plan, only asking that careful consd
Grafton be given to such matters detail as in their
judgment should be subject to revision.
Such acquiescence in the general terms of the Ameri
can proposal seems to naval disarmament to
degree far beyond the hope that existed previous the
conference The points suggested by Great Britain and
the references in the speech of the representative of
Japan were of kind that might have been expected and
they not to be regarded antagonist the prn
ciple or the spirit of the American plan
Undoubtedly the American statesmen in arranging
the details of the proposed for the limitation
of naval ornaments will try to take into consideration
the particular needs of each of the nations, and tho
American people would do well to be equally broadmnd-
ed Both regards Great Britain and regards Japan
there should be desire for understanding rather than
intolerance any opinion that does not coincide with
own.
First of all it should be noted that Great Britain is
and always has been naval rather than land-army
power 1t is upon the and not upon the land that
Great Britain maintains her hold upon world markets
and her imperial relations with domnions and depend
eneies Other nations of Europe and notably France,
are land powers The immense military possibilities of
Russia to be measured upon the land and upon
the The possible peril in Asia is matter of armies
and not of navies 1t is easy therefore understand
that the British statesmen do look with favor upon
proposal that will weaken Great Britain where she is
strong without giving her any protection where her de-
fences weak.
Great Britain also a conflict with her national
interests in the proposal for ten year suspension of
naval construction Battleship building is a highly
specialized industry 1t requires highly trained work
men, well buildings machinery and other equip
men designed for that particular purpose Any,naton
that would suspend naval construction for ten years
would find it impossible to build frst-cass bateship
at the end of that time and if the organizations and
equipments for naval construction were to be main
tanned thru the ten year period the cost savings would
be greatly reduced.
On the other hand the sincerity Of the British desire
for the reduton of military expenditures is shown by
the suggestion Of reductions included in the Amer
can proposal notably with regard to submarines.
The important thing for the American people is that
they should look upon the conference gathering Of
men who striving reconcile their conflicting in
terests and to compromise divergent opinions. Conf
dence and understanding must be the basis of mutual
good will, and good will is essential the prime elc
ment of permanent peace.
