What Feeblem;ndedness Is

A feebleminded person is one whose
mind is too small to direct him to
live properly. The feebleminded are
classified as follows: Idiots, who are
under three years Of age mentally;
irlbeciles, who are under eight years
of age mentally; and morons, who are
under twelve years mentally.

DOCTORS AND THEIR FEES.

An English judge has just decided
that a doctor has a right TO charge
well-to-do people more than he would
demand for the same services render
ed to those who are poor. 1nciden-
tally, the Judge held that the charge
made in the particular instance under
consideration was excessive and re-
duced II by little over a third.
Perhaps is was the latter point on
which the plaintiff chiefly rested his
case. but he did raise the other one,
and fhe decision is interesting as Civ
ing judicial authority to a practice
which, while it has been followed
virtually always and everywhere by
members of the medical profession,
has frequently excited resentment.
The doctors have defended the dis
elimination between the rich and the
poor on the ground that only by maxi
/ ing it could they do the large amount
/ of gratuitous work that is expected
from them and still support them
selves and their families. This argu-
ment has weight, but it would have

of these workers below the level OF

award gives them from 20 cents to
IS cents an hour, or an average OF
1927 cents. The section man at the
minimum rate would receive s11.04 n

the average rate of $3.50 n week, or
sS17.44 n year; the man with the high

REVISING RULES OF EVIDENCE

One 81 the most distinguished mem
bere Of the Boston bar. Mr.. Sherman
J.. Whipple. speaking at Atlantic City
before the Maryland Bar Association,
took occa sion 70 criticise the rules Of
evidence In respect TO the exclusion Of
hearsay testimony or Of communica-
tons between husband and wife and
lawyer and client These rules have
the sanction of precedent. which
counts for much In law. and Of long
experience; and In urging that they
should be modified or abolished the
burden of proof necessarily rests upon
the critic. It is not difficult 10 see why
the exceptions which Mr.. Whippie con-
dennis should have been made. II
in some cases they obstruct the course
Of Justice, in others they secure 70
defendant full protection from state
ments. which. though not convincing,
might unduly influence a jury.
Direct evidence offers many diff
culties Two perfectly honest wit
nessee will give contradictory accounts
OF the same occurrence. To get at the
exact truth in such cases is obviously
in large part a matter of inference.
Indirect evidence is even more per-
picking. Here again perfectly honest
witnesses may contradict each other
4 reports what he sincerely believes

he said it. The memory plays strange
| tricks. II this indirect or hearsay

liciouS, the fact is often difficult to de-

the safer way. Mr.. Whipple argue:
that such evidence may he OF decisive

truth. Yet il may fairly he held that

CHALLENGE TO EDUCATORS,

OF ell the pronouncements upon edu-
cation with which the air has recently
been filed. the most notable is the one
made yesterday by n man who is not
a member Of the teaching profession.
In the details upon which he touched.
as well as in his general contentious.
what Secretary Hughes said in the
paper read at Boston before the Ma
tonal Education Association is worthy
of the most serious attention. Every
one agrees that the American ideal in
education. as in other matters, is
equality Of opportunity, but Mr..
Hughes was concerned TO know what
this inspiring phrase means. Lately
It has been employed as If It meant
chiefly opportunity for vocational
training. Such opportunity. said Mr..
Hughes, is included in its scope, but
its full meaning IS nothing less than
that "of giving play TO talent and as
piratiOn and to the development OF
mental and spiritual powers" In these
words he recalled educators from ex-
cessive emphasis upon one part of their
/ task to view Of the entire job. II
education needs anything more than
another just now, il is a sense of pro
portion. Mr.. Hughes's address should
do much TO give It a keen realiza ton OF
this need.
Another timely word dropped by Mr.
Hughes was discipline" Here again
without naming the quality, he pleaded
for a sense of proportion, arguing tina
while it IS important 10 make stud!
interesting and TO recognize individual
gifts. the primary lesson for the citi
Zens Of democracy is self-contrOl." IL
stressing this point he struck out al
epigram that statesmen no less thai
educators would do well to remember
The sentimentalists," he observed
ARE just an dangerous as the mater
ialists." Mr.. Hughes's own course il
office gives him the right to make thi
declaration, a declaration that come
at a moment when some educators O
high standing are in danger of for
getting that there is no substitute 70
fundamentals. Intentionally or unin
tentionally, these men and women ar
responsible for the impression tina
after all there is a royal road TO learn
