The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1921-08-11

DR. T. r. Garth, professor of psychol-
ogy in the University of Texas, who has
been making tests of the mental capacity
of the Indian, Negro and Caucasian, re
ports that the Indian has about as good
a mind as the white. Heretofore In
dian mentality has been generally consid-
cred inferior The Indians mind, says
Dr. Garth, is just as alert as the white
mans 1t seems more crude and primi-
tive according to the color test and some
other tests. but in general intelligence
it ranks high He finds that Indians
surpass whites in the mental fatigue"
test. That is. they are able to continue
longer at any given mental process, This
is important. 1t means that the Indian
can concentrate, and mental power is
largely a matter of concentration.
This estimate need not surprise any
one who has studied Indians. The whites
have always found them brave and re
sOurceful enemies. If they have seldom
made much progress in the arts of peace,
it has been mainly because they did not
care to, not because they lacked ability.
Their defects are chiefly temperamental.
The record of young Indians in the Car
Isle school, the achievements of Indians
of this generation in business and poll
tics and professional life, show that they
can hold their own with the whites if

4 curious will is that of Judge Thomas
f. Neville of Omaha. He has left prop
erty worth 100000 or more, in real
estate and good securities, providing that
the whole property shall be kept intact
until after the death of all living heirs.
He has three children and seven grand
children. His great grandchildren are to
divide up the estate, if they want to. He
expresses a hope. however. that they will
not want to, and that the income from
it by that time will be SO great that none
of them will feel the need of taking
slice out of the principal.
The most curious thing about this
plan is the fact that the testator is jump
ing over the heads of his living heirs and
leaving his wealth to heirs vet unborn.
According to any normal point of view,
that amounts almost to leaving it to to-
tai strangers He could know nothing OF
those heirs, and they will necessarily be
only in small part his own blood. A
child of the first generation is half his,
of the second one fourth his, and of the
third generation. which is to inherit his
fortune, only one-eighth his. 1T is
wise father that knows his own SON." He
could have no possible way of knowing
what sort of people those heirs will be,
and how they will use his money. Moth
ing could have actuated him but an odd
pride in the idea of creating a great fam
| lily estate.
The estate may grow big, in the a.
years or more during which it is TO be
| held in trust Estimates run to SlOo,'
| 100000 and more That, however, Is eX'
tremely uncertain. Nobody knows what
economic changes may come, nor how
