ARE YOU AN EXPERT?
BY Albert Apple

Some one has defined expert man who lives 100
miles away and charges 500 day for his services. Ex
perts however, have their place and necessary An
interesting development is this: In many fields the lND
VIDUAL EXPERT is being displaced by an EXPERT
METHOD that can be applied by average common sense
For instance it is experts task to determine the
mental age of children and particularly children not suf
below average intelligence to keep pace with ordinary
school class accordingly needing special classes.
Experts have charge of such work. Usually they go
around from community to another in caravan Clinics
One of the leading authorities in this work is Dr. Samuel
B. Sinclair In recent speech he announced An ordinary
teacher with few hours instruction regarding methods of
observation and inquiry and without giving formal ntell
within per of the -Bnet Estimate Her
findings for subnorma class superior to those of
group and for this purpose clinics
sary."
Dr. Sinclair this conclusion after teachers had
estimated chdren's mental age in 400 and demon
srated that the teachers preached almost excaty the
results ratings obtained by experts
1t illustrates how the Individual expert tends to be dis
any with good
Increasingly is the function of experts to create expert
methods and in such way that they be applied used
by others than specialists
Another illustration is radio, extremely complicated.
Yet lad build his radio though he couldn't repair
that far simpler mechanism watch. The is that
building all radios under their supervision have created
and released expert systems hookups-easy put into
effect by any with fair intelligence.
The ability to "carry out" complicated instructions is
amazingly widespread 1t speaks highly for the educational
system that has made it possible by brain training.

New York, Oct. 2O.-Old Man
Cannon never finished his job.
There wasn't time enough. So few
of US find time to do the big things
we want to do.
Unless someone claims his body
before these lines reach print, Old
Man Cannon will be buried in Pot
ter's Field.
For 20 years he lived in the same
room over in the Williamsburg Sec
| ton of Brooklyn. He always paid
his rent, although he never worked
and seemed to have no source of in
come.
Day in and day out he sat and
read of Caesar, Alexander, Napoleon
and other heroes Of the centuries.
When they found him dead, they
! found these histories with dog;eared
pages and marked passages. They
.! found pen and paper, but the paper
was blank. Old Man Cannon had a
story to tell, but it was left untold.
He had intended to write his
! tory some day, but that day never
came.
Perhaps there is no Importance in
being earnest, after all.
Old Man Cannon was earnest. He
wouldn't do the job unless he could
do it we'll.
Maybe the job wasn't as big as he
thought it was. We all so often
magnify our ideals that they seem

THE PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED
(St. Paul PiOneer-PreSS)

(St. Paul Pioneer-Press)
Former Governor Frank O. Low
den, of Illinois, came as near as
any man of putting the situation
of agriculture today in few
words. when he addressed the In
land Press association at Chicago
yesterday. Good crops this fall,
he told the newspaper men, "have
not solved what the politicians call
the farm problem.
This is undeniably true. Good
crops and good prices have, for tn"
one year, given relief and atforde l
an avenue of escape from COM
plete bankruptcy. But there is no
guarantee that in 1925 there will
be good crops, good prices or an
almost world wide shortage Of
grain in countries other that the
United States. 1t is right, there
fore. that we shall not be lulled
into a false security, when by. the
very nature of things it cannot
be so.
The year 1924 gives us a breath
ing spell and a time in which to
set our house in order President
Coolidge recognizes this by his an
nouncets intention Of appointing an
agricultural commission which
shall report to him and to Cngress
the steps necessary to prevent a
recurrence of the depression from
which we are just emerging.
iS
specific offered by Mr.. Lowden.
1.-The farmers marketing methods"
says he "are century behind"
and they are, in comparison with
the marketing methods of every
other industry. Yet it is obvious
that the farmer is unable both by
his individualistic attitude, his
isolation and his financial status
to make the jump of one hundred
years within a year. He can not
lift himslef by his own bootstraps.
He must have governmental en-
enlargement and aid until the time
comes when he can walk alone and
undertake the management, opera
ton and control Of the cO-Opera-
tive marketing Mr.. Lowden indi-
Gates.
The history of cooperative en-
terprise in the United States, so
far, shows that it takes something
more than willingness. earnestness
and sincerity to make them sue
cessful. Business cacapity and ca
pability is not born over night nor
is cooperation self-executing. The
real problem to be solved is bound
up in the task of getting that SUI
pervision and aid which will make
cooperative marketing work.
, which will set the engine in mo-
ton and supply it with the fuel to
keep it going until it's new owner,
the farmer, can operate it himself.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
Nv OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The Twins woke up one morning
to find little note pinned to their
pillow.
1t said:
"Dear Children:
what do you think! Someone
stole the House That Jack Built.
Picked it right up where it stood on
Pippin Hill and walked off with it.
mo one has seen it since the
night Of Jack and Jill's party when
Mrs. John, Jacks mother, lost her
cider and pies in the dumb waiter.
"Next morning when Jack and Jill
had gone down the hill, and Mrs.
John had gone to market, someone
took it. When they came back the
house was as gone as yesterday.
"Will you 60 and help them to
hunt for it? Ever since you found
the lost sleepy sand at the bottom
Of the sea, people think you are too
smart for anything. l haven't time
to go because Pm busy showing my
ground fairies how to stack up moss
and dirt around plants so that Jack
Frost cannot hurt them this winter.
''Do 60 and help Jack if you can,
because if he doesn't find his house
before winter, don't know what he
and his mother and sister will do.
1.-THE magic shoes are under your
bed. Put them on and you will find
yourselves on Pippin Hill at once.
Lovingly yours,
1.-The Fairy Queen"
"Jimineezers!" cried Nick. 81
should say We would go!"
And he sprung out of bed and into
his clothes and slipped on the magic
shoes.
And Nancy sprang out of her little
bed and did the same thing. l mean
she put on her clothes and her
shoes! Not Nick's.
And as truly as l tell you, didn't
they find themselves right on the
top of Pippin Hill where all the
appletrees grew.
But alas and alack!
Where Jacks fine new house had
stood only the day before, nothing
was left but the cellar!
There were Mrs. Johns washing
tubs and her butter-crocks and her
preserves, and her step-ladder, and
her clothes-props, which she had
brought in in case Of rain, and her
cider barrel, and her winter-apples,
ard her sack of potatoes n every
thing.
Everything to keep house with but
no house to keep!
1t was a dreadful state of affairs
There was Jack and there was Jill
and there was Mrs. John looking as
though the world had come to a
sudden end.
"What do you suppose could have
happened?" said Nancy.
Jack and Jill and Mrs. John looked
ever so surprised to see the Twins
When you go any place by magic it
is natural that you should make no
noise at all.
So nobody had noticed them until
Nancy spoke.
1--WE haven't the least idea," said
Mrs. John. "Not the least. All
know is that one minute we had 9
house and the next minute we didn't
That's ALL"
maybe the wind blew it away
