GOOD CHANCE FOR GENIUS
Scientist Says Average Intelligence of People is on the Decrease Genilises Are Born

Stanford University, Cal, Jan. D. Any one with relative in the genius class has 800 more times as many chances to be a genuis himself as one of ordinary forbears, according to ob- servations by Prof. Lewis NJ. Herman, head of the Stanford University psychology department and compiler of intelligence tests used during the war.
 Every human life originates from single fertiized germ cell" Professor Herman said. This tiny cell, invisible to the naked eye, contains those ele- ments which determine what manner of man or woman that cell will be- come ultimately. These clements are known to science as genes"

 Professor Herman thinks that the average intelligence of the population is decreasing and that the number of geniuses in the future is destined to be comparatively few.

Sun--Bor1l $50 Years Ago.

On February 10, Poland. as well as
the rest of the civilized world, will
observe the 450th anniversary of the
birth of Nicholas kopernik (Coperni-
cus) one of the most famous astron-
omers of all times, who was the first
to advance the theory that the earth
moved around the sun.
Nicholas Kopernik was born in
1873 in Torun, Poland Finishing
high school in Torun, he went to
Krakow to study. Then he attended
schools in other countries. After TAX
ing honors in several universities he
ordained a priest He showed deep
interest in the study OF physics,
mathematics and astronomy ana it
is said that many of his nights wer.
spent observing the moon and planets.
Up to the 15th century. astron-
omers accepted the Grecian theory
that the world was fiat and that the
sun and moon moved around it.
Kopernik had different ideas and
when he told his fellow astronomers
that the earth moved around the sun
he was laughed at. Despite the hui
to which he was subjected,
he retained constant to his convic-
lions and worked quietly to prove his
theory. 1t was not until he died that
his writings appeared in book form.
When his theory was accepted, the
study of astronomy was revolution
zed.
The Polish people of New Britain |
will celebrate the anniversary of Kop-
,rnik's birth Tuesday evening, Feb |
uary 20, at the Sacred Heart of |
fesus school hall with special exer- |
