GENIUS Is FOUND
STUPID BY TESTS
Professor Finds Mental Giants
Approach Most Questions
With Completely.

LONDON. Feb. 11.-Would a gem
ius shine II confronted with an or
binary number Of standardized men
tai tests?
Prof IT. r. Peer. OF Manchester
university. thinks he would not, es-
pecially # rapid solution were re-
quired.
Tests of intelligence, Prof. Peer
points out, are tests OF only one form
Of mental capacity. Prof. Munster
berg's tests for car drivers was a
test Of intelligence but not OF ability
20 drive cars. for the men who did
best at IL were not regular car driv-
ers but Harvard undergraduates.
Likely TO Misunderstood.
The fact is, according TO the pro-
fessor. that a genius probably never
sees a complex problem in quite the
same light as an ordinary person.
He is much more likely TO misun-
derstand Instructions and so appear
stupid. Some mental teachers have
found that highly intelligent children
sometimes do badly in a mental test
because they see a catch" in II
where no catch" is intended.
A good deal Of thought might
probably be given to the concep-
ton Of what was meant by stupid
ity Although the word is usually
applied to the intellectual aspect of
the mind, there Is such a thing as
emotional stupidity. Stupidity must
not be confused with mere ignOr-
ance as frequently happens.
The adjective stupid" might fair
ly be applied to a person who cannot
understand, or grossly misunder-
stands, words. pictures or other
| common mechanisms for conveying
meaning. not because he has never
| known the meaning, but because of
some inner deficiency which pre-
vents him from realizing their sig
nihcanCe in this particular case.
One Stupidity Defined.
With regard 10 emotional stupid
/ ity It seems TO be characterized by
an inability Of a person, in a partic-
ular situation. to enjoy the effective
/ colOring which the majority Of peo-
pie I'm such a position experience
\ without difficulty.
For instance, an intellectually en-
/ inent person may appear stupid If
| asked 10 perform some ordinary task
which distinctly falls outside his
usual sphere Of activity. Obviously
some brilliant scientists would make
woefully bad hospital orderlies. dish
washers or household managers.
ITO take my case, concluded the
| professor. eff am asked 10 explain
some advanced problem IN modern
physics do not feel this emotional
stupidity. But If, on another occa-
sion. 1 am asked to play bride ]
certainly become emotionally stu
pid."

He. like others of his profession, be-

the following schedule:
For throwing an over-ripe custard

assessed. with an additional two dollars
for each succeeding pie hurled.
For running the high hat of a pluto
cratic looking man, ten dollars per

with ~twelve-fifty more for each addi-

SEAS VOGUE
CURRENT IN BOOKS
HIT SILVER SCREEN
Romantic Islands Are Either
Marvellous Paradise
or Prison.

The south seas vogue that has been
current in literature has hit the movies,
And with it the p%erplexing question
The South Sea Isles; paradise or
PRISON." has. been worrying the scena-
rio writer's.
Many are the authors and lecturers
who picture the Pacific atOlls as lotus
islands of flowers and sunshine, where
nature provides food, drink and amuse-
ment, where one has only to lie under
q spreading palm and enjoy love with
out obligations and peace %unbrOken by
responsibilities. This is a very popular
view, typified by Frederick O'Brien's
books, white Shadows in the South
Seas" and Mystic Isles Of the South
Seas"
On the other hand. there are auth
ors who, with sharply satirical pens.
characterize the tropical love- as sor-
did indulgence, the flouting of conven-
ton as vice, and the languor as lazi-
ness! OF such is THE Cruise Of the
