WHAT AGE is A SCHOOL
CHILD, POINT IN ISSUE.
When Should He Go to School!
Educators Give Diverse Views
on This Important Subject.

Washington, April 10.-Educators
of the capital city are not at all in
sympathy with the recent declaration
of Luther Burbank, the plant wizard,
who declared his conviction that no
child except the city child should be
permitted inside the school rooms un-
til ten years of age. They point out
that plants and animals, the former
group of living things, those with
which Mr.. Burbank has had the great
est experience, have only one age,
which is that of their physical sub
stance, whereas children are so many
years old in body, but have minds
which vary largely in mental age"
from that of the BODY.
DR.. Agnes L. Rogers, of Goucher
College (Baltimore), has recently
drawn attention of Capital school au-
thorities to the need of mental rather
than physical grading of children. In
Sc doing she related the results OF
mental tests which revealed that in a
group CT first grade children their
mentality ranged from that Of four
to nine years Of age. Children can
acquire best the things proper to their
learning point at a particular age"
DR.. Rogers said. She explained the
division by the tests of children into
three groups; unusually bright chill
dren, the large average group, COM
prising 60 per cert, end the under
average children, who are slow to
learn. The first and third groups in
clude 20 per cent. each Of children
tested. The new classification pre-
vents retardation, while arbitrarily
holding children of physical age Of
ten years from school increases it.

MEMORIAL CAMPAIGN
MEETS SUCCESS
LIBERAL PLEDGES RECEIVED
FROM THOSE CANVASSED-
OTHERS TO BE CALLED ON.

So far as it has been possible to
carry out the canvass campaign Of the
committee of the American Legion
appointed to raise the sum of money
necessary for the erection of a me-
mortal to the white soldiers and sail
crs of Williamsburg county who lost
their lives in the world war, success
has been the outstanding feature.
Almost without exception persons
who have been canvassed in regard
to this cause have expressed their
willingness to contribute freely, to
it, and have signed the pledge being
circulated, the committee reports.
It is the plan of this committee
to call en- every citizen and business
house in Williamsburg county for a
donation to this fund and it feels
that the purpose for which the CAM
raign has been inauguarated justifes
the cooperation of every one to the
extent that they can freely contribute.
1t has been impossible to carry
the campaign outside the town Of
K;ngstree up to this time, but the
committee states that on tomorrow
friday they Will begin mailing let
ters explaining the purpose OF the
campaign to the citizens of the county.
This letter has a pledge attached
which can he filled in, signed and
mailed to the campaign treasurer, Mr..
Tom M. Kellahan, Kingstree. 1t is
the hope of the committee that those
who receive these letters and can
respond to the call will do SO at
their earliest convenience, so that the
committee can complete all its rou-
tine work and be in position tc han
die the collection of these pledges
on June 1st.
1t is the purpose Of the committee
to erect memorial to these soldiers
and sailors who paid the supreme
sacrifice in the world war which will
be a fitting expression of the feeling
of appreciation for the service these
men rendered, and show to the world
and to posterity that our 2resent-day
citizenship still have : dsep feeling
Ct appreciation for deeds of valor.
As it was stated in last weeks is
sue of The County Record the names
of those who pledged themselves and
the amounts pledged will be publish
ed, and the list this week is very
gratifying to the committee, in fact,
they state, it makes the successful
conclusion of this campaign almost
a certainty, as no one outside the
town of Kiagstree has been approach
ed. The fact that more than three
fourths of the soldiers and sailors to
be honored through this memorial, are
from the county ct large, makes it
of material interest to every COM
munity and liberal cooperation from
every quarter is expected.
The names of those who have al
ready pledged themselves and the
amounts pledged follow:

ADOPTS NEW RAPID
FREIGHT SCHEDULE

A new rapid freight schedule has
been established by the Arizona
Eastern so that Phoenix merchants
may now avail themselves of a four
day delivery service on merchandise
shipped from San Francisco, it was
announced yesterday by Dick Smith,
general freight and passenger agent
for the Arizona Eastern. A two day
service has also been arranged for
shipments from Los Angeles.
The new fast schedule will cut one
full day from the former time made
on freight from the two coast cities.
making the service nearly as quick
as express. Mr.. Smith calls attention
to the fact that the four day deliv-
cry service does not mean that the
freight will be four days in transit,
but will actually be delivered to the
consignee within the specified time
limit. All freight shipped from San
Francisco to Phoenix on the new
schedule will go straight through
without transfer.

Women Voters at tho Hotel Adams
this morning.
Women, according to Mrs. Winfield
r. Smith, one of the national organ
izers for the League of Women vot-
ers, are naturally anti radical; they
want law and order and their polit-
ical cooperation will be given to
groups which stand for the authority
that makes for these things. Mrs.
Smith will speak at the Hotel Adams
at 10:S0 this morning.
Though an ardent Republican, she
believes that these fundamentals
above partisanship of any sort will
lately obtained the franchise in
choosing the party through which
they will work for the accomplish
ment Of such principles.
The League of Women Voters, an
all-partisan organization, is, she be-
lieves, the kindergarten as ii were,
to higher, wiser citizenship, to intel
ligent true use OF the ballot and to
prompt enactment of political
measures for human betterment, for
human health and happiness.
'Tn the consumption Of coal about
9S per cent of it's substance is lost
and only per cent is utilized said
Mrs Smith. women have hereto
fore been using about that same pro-
portion of energy instead of utilizing
the SO per cent of their potential
possibilities. The League OF Women
Voters was formed to help them do
this; to educate the women voters to
develop an enlightened interest in,
and use Of suffrage, by the adoption
not OF political measures which are
questions for political parties, but to
further civic betterment along COM
I1nunity lines. Their slogan is two
fold--"Every woman a member of
party" and Every woman an intelli-
gent voter"
That women are taking part in the
political life of the nation was evil
denced, Mrs. Smith said, by the reg
istered vote of men and women in the
last presidential election. 1t was
computed that 90 per cent of the
women who registered voted, while
only 40 per cent of the registered
men cast their ballots. In these few
months of acknowledgements women
have begun to understand that in
stead ofvindefinite talking to men
they can through the ballot get con-
crete results in human betterment
ana happiness IN just laws anu pro-
lection OF home and children-not as
women but as voters. "The nine
teenth amendment means that we
need no longer interpret voting in
terms of sex" said Mrs. Smith. "Men
and women are now equal under the
law, though the states are slow in
giving women this recognition. Wis
consin was the first to formally give
women complete equality under the
law"
