PARENTS RECOGNIZE ABILITY.
Children Under Four Years Show In
selligence Above Normal

a wide variation in the intelligence
of children entering the public schools
was shown through an examination Of
1000 new students by members Of the
Association Of Consulting Psycholo.
eists. The tests were given to children
Of six years of age who were enter
ing the first grades and to those under
that age who were to be admitted to
the kindergarten.
The younger children, the tests
showed, had an average intelligence
rating at least 10 per cent higher than
the older children, proving, according
to DR.. David Mitchell, president OF the
association, that the parents recog-
nized the varying abilities of their
children and gave the more intelli-
gent the benefit OF the earlier train.
ing.
OF the children entering the kinder
garten there were some who had only
the ability Of two-and "a half -year.old
children, while of those entering the
first grade there were some who had
only the average ability OF children
less than four years Of age. On the
other hand, some OF them were exeep-
tionally bright, child of four years
having the intelligence of a six-year-
old child, and child Of six years hav-
ing the mental ability of one of eight.
The children entering school at sew
en- years of age showed an average
mental ability of child Of six and
half wears while those entering the
kindergarten under four years showed
an average intelligence beyond the
actual age of any child Included in the
group. In cases where children came
from the same home, the younger child
was almost invariably the more in
telligent of the two.
Commenting on the result of this
examination at meeting of the New
York State Association of Consulting
Psychologists, DIR. Mitchell said;
aThe wide variation in intelligence
makes necessary different methods Of
procedure for children who are chron-
ologically the same age. All children
are supposed to enter the first grade
at six years of age, but they are by
no means equal to the same tasks.

NILSSON LEFT BIG ESTATE.
Swedish Singer Was Worth Over Halt
Million.

Stockholm, Feb. lS.-The late Chris
tine Nilsson. or Countess Case de Mir
andi. famous Swedish opera singer,
called by many the second Swedish
nightingale left an estate in England
valued at 10000 pounds. This ia dis
closed by her viii which, according 70
Stockholm papers, has just been
opened in London.
The value Of her Swedish estate,
said to be of considerable size, l. not
vet known. The Swedish press, how
ever. asserts that estimates OF her
wealth published In many foreign paa
pers placing her fortune at Sl5,O00,OO0,
were grossly exaggerated. They add
that she was noted in life for her great
hearted generosity and that the total
Of her gifts are known to have
amounted 10 large fortune,
OF her English estate, the countess
bequeathed 5000 pounds to the Royal
Musical academy of Stockholm and
900 pounds to the Conservatory OF
Music in Paris, both to be used as
funds for scholarships. The will in
cludes legacies of various amounts to-
falling 1900, pounds to various
friends.
The remainder of the English es-
tate is left to the singers stepdaugh-
ter. Countess Rose Casa de Miranda.
Her objects Of art, paintings, etc, the
singer left to four Swedish museums.
The delay in opening the singers
will is said to have been occasioned
bv the fact that Christine Nilsson was
a French citizen.

PROPOSE TO SCRAP
CHINESE NAVY
In Order to Pay the Salaries Of the
officers Of the
Navy.

Picking, Feb. 20. Officers OF the
Chinese navy have proposed to go the
Washington armament conference one
better by scrapping the entire Chinese
navy and selling it to pay their salaries
which are in arrears.
THE Chinese navy consisted IN lv20
Of six protected cruisers, three de-
stroyers, eight torpedo boats, three tor
pedo gunboats, four gunboats and q
considerable number of river gunboats.
Nine of these, however, were under
control of the southern Chinese govern
ment located at Canton.)
The Chinese officers proposed also
that all battleships and cruisers
should be scrapped.
The Chinese press asserts that it IS
in the intest of their salaries, rather
than of the peace of the world that the
Chinese naval officers proposed this
drastic step.
AS in the case OF many government
departments Of China at the present
time, salaries for many months back
are due the officials and personnel Of
the navy, and the conference of officers
was called to consider ways and means
of forcing the ministry of finance to
allocate to the ministry of marine suf-
ficient money to make up these deficits,
Feeling that sale of all naval prop
erty and abolition of the navy was
the surest way of obtaining the neces-
sary funds. the officers decided to put
this proposition before the people.
Their alternative, in case this
scheme failed to meet with approval,
was that officials who had illegally
withheld their pay from them be made
personally responsible.
