The value of intelligence tests seems to be pro-
portioned to the intelligence with which they are
applied. Many Of the tests understood literally and
taken at their face value are worthless in determin-
ing the relative intelligence Of individuals, if intel
ligence is understood to mean the power to think
accurately and soundly. In some OF the tests quite
frequently used the chief essential is a good MEM
DRY, and it is notorious that a good memory quite
often accompanied a dull mind. Idiots are often
found who have really marvellous memories. Again,
certain other tests require mental agility, and the
quick mind is by no means always the reasoning
mind. " 81
A news dispatch says that the application of
intelligence tests has been followed by excellent re-
suits in the Duluth schools. The statement is quite
credible, notwithstanding the obviously absurd
claims which are often made for such tests. There
is doubtless a field within which mental tests may
be ~usefully employed to ascertain, not only the de-
gree, but the kind of intelligence which the individ-
ual possesses, and with that information, considered
not as an absolute index, but as a guide, it is posi-
bic to make beneficial regulations of the childs
work and play. But in addition to this, such tests,
made from time to time, are of great value in check
ing the work of the teacher. When successive ex-
aminations show that a class is making progress in
rapidity and tagging in accuracy, or vica versa, it
becomes apparent that in the work Of teaching a
change of emphasis is required, and that there is
needed greater attention to the quality in which the
lack is shown.

A PRACTICAL cuRFEw SCHEME.

Down in Lennon, S. D., they are experiment
ing with a curfew regulation such as The Herald
long ago suggested to take the place of the ordinary
curfew regulations, which are never observed and
never enforced anywhere. The Lennon ordinance
provides in the usual manner that children of ten
der years shall not be on the streets unattended
after a certain hour in the evening. But response
bility for the observance of the law is placed, not on
the children, but on their parents. If a child is
found on the streets after hours the father is hailed
into court to tell why it happened so, and if a salts
factory explanation is not forthcoming, the father is
fined or imprisoned.
OF course, that is a reversion to the primitive
customs of former years when parents were sup
posed to have some control over the acts of their
children, and were held responsible for the manner
in which they administered their trust. We have
grown away from that, and seem to have applied
the doctrine of self determination to everybody,
down to and including the infant in arms. If the
children choose to roam the streets all night, while
the community at large may not enjoy it or ap-
prove OF it, such a performance is merely one of the
forms of self expression which on no account must
be denied to any human being.
The South Dakota citizens may never have
reached this advanced stage of civilization, or, hav-
ing reached it, they may have backslidden. Any
way, they are applying an old-fashioned doctrine in
Z rather new way, and for the time being, it works.

THE GENTLEMAN SEEMS 70 HAVE LIED

Not long ago the Associated Press carried, and
The Herald published a highly interesting story to
the effect that an eastern man announced the in
vention by himself of a marvellous engine which
would run 300 miles on a gallon Of fuel costing a
little over five cents. An appearance, at least, of
probability was given to the statement by the dec
laration that the engine had been inspected and APP
proved by an engineering expert holding a respon-
sible position with 4 great steel manufacturing con-
Germ In commenting on the story The Herald
suggested to its readers the probability that a hitch
would be found somewhere, and that even if the
story proved true there need be no frantic haste to
invest in the stock Of any company organized to
Manufacture the new engine, because, IL such an

Professor Robertson TO confne his

pages.
To each of the nations he gives
separate chapter, tracing its history
up to the beginning of the world
war, with the chief events in their
histories since 1918. To this he adds
a chapter on the problems and ideals
of the Latin American nations, with

the perils Of foreign intervention,
including the possibility of one by
Japan. "In the minds Of some citi-
zens of Latin America, however" he
says, "the greatest foreign peril
which their nations face is presented
by the United States, the Colossus
of the North" His final chapter is
devoted to the relations Of Latin
American nations with other states.
While Professor Robertson depre-
Gates much Latin-American criti-
cism of our country and its attitude
to that problem, he does see serious
complications arising over the role
of the League of Nations in the
three Americas, and he declares:
Certain Latin-American publicists
evidently favor acknowledging the
jurisdiction of the tribunal at Gene

Republic of the North. The future
role of the United States in the New
World seems to be at stake"

education. To many readers this will
be much the most interesting chap
ter in the book, for it is not by any
means limited to the education Of
the engineer, and it is the fruit of
many years OF work and observation.
The relative Importance of what are
called cultural studies is as per-
picking in the education of an engi-
neer as in the education of lawyer,
a banker, a preacher or a merchant,
but is not the perplexity largely the
outcome of loose thinking about the
real nature of culture? Prof. Sum-
ner recognized "sapolio culture,
which consists in putting a high
polish on plated ware" The attitude
of Prof. Swain's mind is summed up
in his casual remark that when
the work of a student becomes easy
for him it should be changed" 0
