LOCAL RADIO CONDITIONS

The radio reception which has
been bad for several nights was
somewhat better last evening.
Static, fading and in some cases,
complete failure of the carrier wave
to clear up into music or speech, has
combined with other trials to make
the radio fans life more or less
miserable. With the arrival OF
steady cold weather the great and
glorious feeling that comes with
perfect reception will return. Re
ports from the north indicate that
the northern lights are a strong fac
tor in causing the wierd condition
experienced for the last few nights.
Radio bugs at this time will do well
to sit tight and not dig into their
sets looking for trouble.

Joint Meeting Dexter And
Corinna Literary Clubs
Death of Mrs. Clark-To
Present "Old Peabody Pew"
At Fair-Legion Entertain
ment-Locals
Wednesday was q pleasant day for
the women Of the Dexter and
Corinna Literary Clubs. the occasion
being the joint meeting of the clubs
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Hale on Highland avenue in this
town. About 20 Corinna ladies were
present and nearly IS members OF the
local club. The opening music was a
vocal solo by Mrs. Lillian Small,
with Mrs. Marion Haseltine at the
piano.
The speaker for the afternoon was
Prof. H. M. Halverson of the Uni
versity of Maine, whose subject was.
Psychology Today. He announced
that his aim in giving this lecture Is
to broaden the viewpoint Of his lis
teners, on the subject Of psychology.
It came to us, he said, through the
teaching profession but 1t has grown
beyond that, and he went on to name
the branches of professional and
business men which now use the
science of Psychology Among them
are the physicians, the advertisers,
the salesmenA debaters and lawyers.
Prof. Halverson gave three causes
for the popular misconceptions re-
garding the subject of psychology
namely, popular fiction, the mystery
which some writer's and discoursers
profess for it and finally. the dis
tortion concerning the subject aris-
ing from stories wrongly reported
from mouth to mouth. He warned his
audience against dupes in psychology.
lectures, or so-called teachers. After
naming a long list of things which
psychology is not, the speaker de,
fined 1t as The Science of Corr !:
seriousness, not the science Of min !,
as some suppose. He said, "It is inss
possible to study the mind" and we -
on to explain the difference between
mind and consciousness. He spoke
of the number of senses which a
man Is supposed to have now. being
fifteen instead Of five as formerly
was believed.
At the conclusion of the program
a social hour was enjoyed. and re-
freshments were served by COM
mittee composed Of Mrs. Marion
Plouff, Mrs. Maud Barker. Mrs.
Frances Dustin and Mrs. Katherine
Cleveland.

Ting to save the boy from the dragon
of vulgar dullness. But the picture
would be inaccurate. In some respects
school and college have only accentu-
ated your sons worst characteristics.
At the large high school to which you
sent him he met hundreds of replicas
of himself, association with whom
fixed, intensified and made blatant his
dullness and vulgarity. In many cas-
es his teachers were more expert than
his present college instructors, but
they were underpaid, overworked and
unintelligently supervised. The sys-
tenn forced them to give not a liber-
alizing education, but narrow train
ing designed to prepare some students
to meet specific vocational situations
and others to answer specific college
examination questions. Arthur never
discovered in high school that the
mind is more than a passive factor in
the learning process. Instead he re-
ceived the impression that text books
contain the answer to every question,
and that the student need only memo
rize these answers in order to have a
grasp of a given subject.

How Was Arthur Raised?

"Has Arthur ever heard you express
broadly rational conception, ever
joined with you in any fine sport of
the nsind? Have you brought him up
on noble legends, read Shakespeare to
him before bedtime? When he a.
woke, did his eyes rest on beautiful
pictures? Did you ever take him to
an orchestral concert, or to a really
good play? Your sons face and ac-
tions and speech have already answer
ed these questions for me. You have
stuffed his mind with dull platitudes,
have done everything you could to
convince him fthe impiety of origi-
nal thought. You have crammed his
soul with ugly chromos, jazz, movies,
yellow newspapers and sensational
magazines. You have addressed your
son every day, for eighteen years, in
ungrammatical, ill-chosen and fumb-
ling words. Yet you do not blush to
toss him to me with Here! Make a
scholar of him!'
"For many good reasons you may
have been unable to give Arthur the
advantages of a cultured home. In
that case your task-a delicate one
should have been to make him under
stand your deficiencies without de
stroying his love and respect for you.
No doubt you have told him that edu-
cation would make him richer man
than you, but have you ever suggest
ed that education would open to him
treasures of the mind and spirit which
to you had been closed! I ask the
question because Arthur is not only
stupid, but happily satisfied in his
stupidity.
"It is a temptation for me, teach
er, to portray Arthur's formal educa-
ton as knight in shining armor bat

Just why Indian pitchers are not

Of having just signed the first south

for himself in Independent ball up in
