The British war office committee on
shell shock has just made its official re-
port the first recommendation of which
is that the term shell shock" be
dropped permanently. 1t is mislead-
ing term. Many persons suffered from

heard or saw bursting shell. WAR
neurosis" is considered a better general
term for the condition referred to.
As doctors and nurses discovered,
shell shock is really nervous disease,
just as likely to come to the victim in
time of peace as during war. Many of
these special cases were men or women
who were under great mental strain at
home. with tendency TO nervous collapse
already begun before they entered war
service. Proper treatment for them had
to be found by seeking the psychological
and nervous difficulties preceding not
only their final breakdown, but preceding
their entry into the war.
The committee explains one reason
for wishing to change the descriptive
term. 1T is no surprise to find that
the general lay conception of the term
was very loose and ill-informed. There
was such anxious solicitude during the
war as to the incapacitated. and such
was the appeal of the term shell shock,
that this class of case excited more gem
eral interest and sympathy than any
other. so that it became a most desirable
complaint from which to suffer"

it will probably be better for patients

is dropped for one more professional and

Charles F. Murphy, who today rounds
out career of 20 years as leader of the
Tammany Hall organization in New
York, is a typical product of New York
city politics, beginning as ward bench
man and rising step by step to the top
of the ladder His career as political
boss has been singularly successful in
some ways, and unsuccessful in others.
No previous boss of Tammany ever sue
ceeded in becoming state leader. Muir
ply won that title in 1910 when he
forced the nomination of Dix for the gov
ernorship on the Democratic state con-
ventiOn. But, on the other hand, Muir
ply held his leadership for many years
before he succeeded in gaining full con-
troll of the politics of the city by electing
mayor who would be subservient TO his
will The society of which he is the
acknowledged leader is the oldest polit-
zeal organization in the United States.
The majority of people may disapprove
of it. but nobody can withhold a sneak
ing feeling of admiration for a society
that has lasted so long. weathered SO
many storms. and still seems to have
so much blood and ginger.

COLLEGE CHANCES.

1t is easy to find among successful
Americans both men and women who
had no college education. 1t is also
easy to find, among the unsuccessful
men and women who had every oppor
tunity of college and technical or pro
fessional training.
The children's bureau of the depart
ment of labor has recently been answer
ing the question of why children should
finish the eight elementary grades and
high scool before going to work at gain
full occupations. Dean Farrell of the
Kansas Agricultural college tells why
older boys and girls should go through
college if they can possibly do so. He
says:
"An American with no schooling al
all has one chance in 10000 of becom
ing eminent. With a high school train
ing he has 81 times as good a chance
With college education he has zoe
times as good a chance"
No sure way has yet been discovered
for learning in childhood which is the
one out of 10000 who will achieve big
things in spite of lack of schooling and
which are the 900 who have real latent
ability, needing only the wider oppor.
tunity and training of school and col
lege to make it bear good fruit.

They Didn't Want n F1ivver.
Barre IImpS.

Automobile thieves picked out the
most distinctive looking machine they
found parked on the street in Brattleboro
and rode away in it. Having the descrip-
ton of the car in their minds from tele-
phoned information. the Boston police
spotted the car passing along street in
their city. halted it and took the two oc-
cupants into custody automobile thieves
need to use better discrimination in the
selection of their loot: they'd better take
a car which looks just like thousands of
other machines and they could get away
with their plan better. Apparently, the
Brattleboro thieves were not versed in
the details of automobile stealing, or they
wouldn't have picked out the one machine
which would have been identified among
thousands of cars because of its distinc
tive coloring and equipment.

The Air Disasters at Rutland.
(Barre Times.)

The four deaths from aerial demon
STATIONS on Il single day of the Rutland
fair constitute a record of gruesomeneSS
rarely, if ever. equalled on a similar oc-
casion. Three of the deaths were due to
the plunge of an airplane during the
execution of air spectacles and the
fourth came when a parachute jumper
triple parachute descent, the third UNI
brella failing to open and causing the
balloOnist to drop unchecked. Coming
so soon after the terrible affair in Brat
tlebOrO when an airplane crashed to
earth, carrying death to three of the
four occupants, the Rutland accidents
are sufficient to cause one to pause and
wonder if the reasonable limit of aerial
performances has not been over-reached.
The Brattleboro disaster. however, can
scarcely be laid to resort to daredevil
try as the plane in that instance fell
when just starting on a straight-away
ascent, having crashed against tree in
its upward maneuvering. But the two
distinct disasters in Rutland can be
classed in the list of wholly unnecessary
risks. As in most other phases of life
there is ambition to Guido the other fell
low; and this ambition leads to attempts
at feats beyond reason. Straight-away
flying by airplane is not excessively haZ-
ardous: nose-diving. tail-spinning, fall
ing-leaf, etc. are very much more haz-
ardous. Balloon flights can be carried
out with only a small element of hazard !;
parachute dropping from balloons goes
into the extremely dangerous classifica-
ton. Inasmuch as people, through long
experience in the performance, have for
gotten to differentiate between the two
performances of each style of air navi-
cation it seems more than ever probable
that some method of regulation of air
travel must be tried out.
