NOT MANY FEEBLE-MlNDED
Authority Shows That Only Two Per
Cent Of the Population Can Be
So Classed.

The idea that we are menaced as a

Predetermined in our midst, but they
are relatively negligible force numer-
ically. The reverse idea, or idea in the
reverse. that we are short on genius,
also is wrong, according to DR.. George
G. Chambers, director of admissions at
the University of Pennsylvania, and
the educators who cooperate with
him. Doctor Chambers says genius as
national crop Is statistically as
strong as the more discussed feeble
minded and that each represents a
mere 2 per cent of the population.
But genius, says DR.. Chambers, is
not the mere possession Of talent
swollen to phenomenal degree, perhaps
so hypertrophied that it is useless. He
denies genius to the man, however
great his talents, who cannot and does
not exercise them. Genius in his def
milton Is high intelligence followed by
actual use Of that intelligence in life.
And intelligence is the ability to adapt
ones self to new circumstances, to
ones surroundings-in a word, to be
able to know something and make use
Of ones knowledge. Under this def
milton it is surprising that the adapt
able Yankee should not hold higher
record for genius than 2 per cent

News has come of the marriage
Sof Frank Hamilton, only son of Mr..

His bride is a Boston girl.
Floyd B. Hamilton, wife and child
have come from Fryeburg to spend
a month at the old home here.
Willie and James Young, William

in the sardine factory at Brooklin.
Louis A. Sherman and family of
Pembroke, Mass, motored here last
week for a brief visit with Mr. Sher-
mans parents, Mr.. and Mrs. C. E.
Sherman.
The forest fire last week caused
much apprehension in this communi-
ty, which at one time was seriously
threatened, the fire approaching to
within about half a mile. People
here breathe easier now that the fire
is practically out. The fire, which
started Sunday, June 5, burned over
from 500 to 1000 acres of woodland
besides consuming about $500 worth
of cut pulpwood, hardwood and logs.
The heaviest losers were John W.
Paris, Harry Ford, Percy Carter,
Ralph Dority and Gilbert Carter.
Others who suffered loss in wood
land were Philip Pervear, Eugene
Seavey, John Lane, Roy and Roland
Carter and Hartwell Candage. Eff
cient work of all the available men
in town, assisted by some from No
Sedgwick, prevented much greater
loss.

Iemptation Windows.

In small Indiana town the Metho-
dist church has stained glass windows
on the bottom panels Of which are
printed verses Of Scripture. One that
six-year-old Willie has been able to
decipher, and from the effort remem-
bers well, goes: And lead us not
into temptation"
Not long after, his mother took him
to visit an old friend who had built
an expensive new home. Now, in the
hall there we're two high windows
and both Of them were made Of
orange colored glass. When they en-
tered that room Willie stared and
stared but said nothing. But that
night when he told his father all about
the new house he remembered the
orange windows and said: "And oh.
dad, they're awfully religious. They've
got those windows that keep out temp
tation."

Prof. William Gates, president OF

trail America there have recently been
discovered the evidences of an ancient
race of people, with civilization as
old and as cultured as that Of the
ancient Egyptians. They were of q
lofty mental attitude and of high
metaphysical qualities.
Among the most important discov-
cries expected to be made there are
the unearthing of native medical
works, some Of which are already in

copoeia and medicinal knowledge to
that science in this country.
