Super Children in Two Glasses.


certain wonder children" Professor
Edward L. Thorndike, of Teachers Col
lege, Columbia university, tells US,
"and they have turned out to be great
men and women later. 1t Is evident
that children genuises may be divid-
ed into two classes-those who are
creative and inventive and those who
have exceptional memories and abb
sorbing powers.
The child Of creative ability is the
real wonder child. There are many
children who have exceptional mem
cries, and while it is true that some of
these children have greater capacity
than others, the faculty is not indica-
tive Of as high development as the
creative or inventive gift"
Professor Monroe, also of the Teach
ers college, declares that our. present
system of public education is greatly
to be censured because 1t makes no
special provision for children of su-
perior ability. I'VE in this country are
so democratic that we look out for the
mass" he says. "0ur entire education :
al system Is gauged to mediocrity. We
need some new way OF scaling our
classes. so that persons Of exceptional
ability will not be held back to the
level Of their mediocre companions.
Sometimes this lack of occupation in
school while they are waiting for their
slower brothers and sisters to catch up
is harmful to the children Of superior
talent. They become restless or in
different.
Wider recognition should be given
to the child prodigy. The hope OF edu-
cation is to bring out all the native
talent and ability each child has. Ma
turally some children will have more to
show than others, but each child
should have a chance to develop TO its
highest point. ..
81 do not believe in too much free
dom or too much superintendent OF
the childs education. There is a
medium which offers encouragement to
the child to use his own initiative and
at the same time furnishes guidance
without which he might become one
sided" ~.
United States Is Stage For Prodigies'
The United States has provided the
exhibition stage for large number of
child prodigies in the past two years.
In fact, almost every European nation
and several South American republics
seemed to have two or three ready for
us as soon as the war was over. We
have marveled at the ability Of the
little chess wizard, Samuel Rzeshew-
ski; of the little girl Pamela Bianco;
of the young girl dairyist introduced
by Herr Freud, and OF a long list OF
youthful musical artists. And recently
we have been asked to admire our own
American prodigies In groups-so fast
are they developing. Last year little
Miss Bianco held an art exhibition of
her own which was well praised by
astonished art critics, but 10! this year
O. whole group Of New. York children
are exhibiting work just as good.
AS the prejudice against permitting
children to assert themselves dies out,
we seem to be developing greater and
greater numbers of super-normal
children. II the increase continues and
IL the day ever comes when the public
schools adopt special measures for
developing individual talent genius
may possibly become common among
our population.

BUSINESS LOOKING UP
Annual Report of Reserve Board OPP
timistic in Tone.

Business throughout the country
progressing through well-defined 'cy-
cles, is nearing the point Of the up
ward swing of the economic pendulum,
according to the annual report of the
federal reserve board transmitted this
week to congress.
There are those" the report said,
"who believe that the beginning of a
revival is not far distant. When 1t
does definitely set in it will be follow
ed in due course by new era Of pros
perity."
Business, in one Of it's long swings"
from prosperity, the report said, has
followed its usual rotation, which 1t
described as business activity and in
creasing production; excessive expan-
sion and speculation followed hitherto
by panic and forced liquidation: a
long period Of slow liquidation, bus
mess depression and stagnation; and
experience" the report warned, I'VE
should remember, when we again en-
ter period of full prosperity, that q
reaction will follow sooner or later;
and il the flow in. the incomingatidc
can be, controlled so that the crest
may not be reached too rapidly nor
rise too high the subsequent reaction
will be less severe and the next period
of industrial and commercial activity
and general prosperity will be marked
by saner methods, greater achieve
'ment along constructive lines, and by
a longer duration than any which we
have had before"

Confined to 1921.

The board confined its report to an
account of the operations Of the or
ganization for the year 1921, withou:
offering any suggestions for legisla.
tion affecting the board or the federal
reserve system. The earning assets
of all federal reserve banks, the re-
port said, amounted on December rs,
1921, to $1,535S51 900, compared with
$3,263, ,027,O00 on December 30, 1920, q
reduction of $1,727,176,000 or SO per
cent. and q reduction of $1,SS6, 6,125,000,
or, 55 per cent. from the high point
reached on October is, 1920. .',
This reduction in loans, the report
explained, was accompanies by "a
steady increase in gold reserve note
circulation, the loan reduction contin-
uing despite substantial decline in dis
count rates.
Gross earnings of the federal reserve
banks for 1921, the report continued
amounted to s122,S65,00e, compared
with SlS1,297,000 in 1920. the falling

bank borrowings, according to the re-
port, showing continuous decline
from s2,6S7, 100000 at the end of 1920
to about $1,144,OOO000 at the end
of 1921, due to a reduction Of over
900,000,000 in the volume Of federal
reserve notes in circulation, caused by
lower price levels and by net imports
of gold amounting to $667, 100000 prac-
tically all of which found it's way into
federal reserve banks.
AS a franchise tax the federal re-
serve banks paid into the treasury
$59,9740 900 for the year 1921.
Gold Reserve Dec. 18th.
On December %, the report contin-
gold reserve of $2,S70,000,000 and n
combined reserve against member
banks deposits and note issues of
slightly more than II per cent. If the
legal minimum reserve of 35 per cent.
could be set up against deposits, the
report added, there would remain a
gold reserve of more than 81 per cent.
against federal reserve notes in Cir
culation.
For some months past" report said,
there has been n marked easing in
domestic rates of interest. Notwith-
standing some unfavorable features in
the revenue laws, the investment
market is now absorbing securities at
reasonable rates which could not have
been considered n few months ago.
Market quotations on Liberty bonds
have steadily advanced until they are
nov approaching par. Good railroad
and industrial bonds have also appre-
ciated, and there have been some no.
