ABOUT SENILE DEMENTIA
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator From New York
Former Commissioner Of Health, New York City

A few weeks ago New England
reader asked me to write about
senile dementia. She told me Of an
unusual circumstance. In that one
family are three cases Of this dis
turbance, each patient being above
"a years Of age.
My correspondent wants to know
the cause and whether there is any
help for this condition. She says
there has been no apparent i'm
provement from the treatment al
ready given and wonders why.
There is an old saying that man
is no older than his arteries. There
is lot Of truth in it.
Some persons grow old easily and
sweedy. Others have hardening Of
the blood vessels, so bad sometimes
as to make them brittle pipe stems,
ready to be broken by a fail or
blow. II the break occurs in the
brain. the mind may be disturbed.
Even though the blood vessels
remain elastic and fairly normal,
there may be in the tissues Of the
brain other changes which are cap.
able Of disturbing the mind. With
increasing age the brain substance
may waste away and thus impair
the normal action of that organ.
With the whitening Of the brain
comes loss Of memory. failure Of
emotional control and gradual
weakening OF the mind. The old
time alertness and uuickness Of
thought disappear. Eventually the
mind is ike that Of a little child.
As the condition progresses any
peculiarities possessed by the vic
tim become more marked. If he was
quick tempered, nc gets worse. II he
was noisy, he becomes thunderous.
He cries and laughs. he becomes
self-centered and terribly egotistie-

.Life's Hurdle
By L. E. Bisch

Now that we. as elders, have got
used to the antics Of modern youth,
have we learned anything?
We have had time to reflect over
the holiness Of young boys and
girls.
We have seen them in rebellion.
kicking over the traces that re-
strained them and held them bound
to the family tree. doing things with
a boldness that took our breath
away, upsetting hallowed traditions,
flouting their sex, performing all
sorts Of tricks and capers that oft
en- brought the blush Of shame to
our cheeks.
/ write this IN the past tense be-
cause / do believe that we are not
SO shocked as we used to be, il, in
deed we are shocked at all.
Is it merely because the novelty Of
their caprices have worn off that
we no longer get excited over them?
I doubt that. I am inclined to
believe that we are no longer
alarmed and wrought up as before
because we have learned our lesson.
We have learned that when youth
rebelled against repressions and re-
straints and sought freer express
sion for the emotions that it was
acting merely in harmony with the
post war spirit and that it did not
do itself any permanent damage
If any-after all.
Yes. the war knocked many Of
our old time and cherished notions
into a cooked hat. We know that.
We also know that on the whole
there is no more immortality than
there ever was among young people.
Young people talk more freely
and behave more Freely.
But fundamentally our young
men and young women are just as
fine and pure and noble as everl
There is no question that when
youth threw down the bars it went
too far.
Many girls and even boys have
torn and bruised their wings. There
has been many . rude awakening
There have been many tears.
But they have learned their les
son and we elders have learned ours
as well.
We now know that It doesn't pay
to repress too much.
We now respect the individuality
OF young people.
We now realize as thes do also,
how the next generation should be
handled.

Our Knowledge
By Garrett P. Serviss.

Addressing the Phi Kappa Phi
Society in Washington, Professor
A. S. Hitchcock remarks that
when we review our knowledge we
may well be astonished how much
of it is an approximation, or is
based on probability"
To illustrate this he asks:
What Is the ratio of the side of
a square to the diagonal?" To
which he replies ave do not know
that is to say we do not know
exactly. 1t is as / to the square
root of 2. As our system of nota-
ton is not adapted to determine
exactly the square root of 2, our
answer can never be exact"
He invokes another example of
the same kind: what is the ratio
Of the diameter to the circumfer-
ence Of a circle? We can never
know this exactly. We can show
that the answer lies within certain
limits and by laborious processes
we may reduce these limits, but
never can we reduce them 10
zero"
Then a third illustration: "We
wish to know the length of a GER
tain line. We measure it, that is,
compare It with a known standard
Of length. (He might have re-
marked that this standard itself is
only approximately known. "We
measure carefully and repeatedly,
but our results do not agree. We
can never know the exact length
of the line. The best we can do
is to obtain a most probable length,
and state that this result is prob
ably true within certain limits of
probable error. We are confronted
with this situation in all our scien-
tific research IN so far as il in
wolves physical measurements"
Then comes this significant adj
mission. an fact, the only cases
in which We can express physical
relations with exactness is in the
realm Of spiritual things. We can
assert with certainty that the whole
is equal to the cum Of all it's parts,
but we are unable 10 demonstrate
this by actual measurement"
Is, then, our belief that the whole
is equal to the sum Of all its parts
something Of the nature of faith?
Hardly, for it is the result Of rea-
soning. We do not reason in mat.
tiers Of faith.
II has been said that science is
based upon measurement that we
only know things that we can meas
ure. But the best measurements Of
science are confessedly approximate
only.

; The prime business Of every coun-
try, therefore, should be the proper
education of it, children. Our first
duty is to pass on what knowledge
we have gained to those who come
after US and to train them In the
exercise of that knowledge. Every
moral delinquent can trace his bad
condition back to the home from
which he sprang. In the same way
almost every man that has succeed.
ed says that his success is due to
his mother or to his training.
The school stands for the influ-
ence OF this generation upon the
next. II that influence is properly
exercised the next generation ought
to profit by our experience and the
world ought to progress.
1t should not be forgotten that
the root cause of the crime and Grim
> inals now extant is to be found in
I the improper training. Of children.
The country has never spent
enough upon schools. 1t has never
insisted enough upon the status of
the school teacher. He is the most
: important factor in the community.
He has our most important inter-
ests under his control.
He should be a man thoroughly
qualified for his position and should
have the respect of the whole COM
munity.
The teacher is more important
than the judge.

Real Cause of Crime
By DR.. FRANK CRANE

=. 1t is a well-established principle
that things are made better by get
ting at the cause than by attending
merely to the symptoms.
Law and punishment is merely
dickering with the symptoms of the
trouble. There must be some means
of getting at the cause of it.
John Dewey said: by law and
punishment society can regulate and
form itself in a haphazard and
chance way. Through education, So
ciety can formulate its own pur-
poses, organize its own means and
resources, and shape itself with def
niteness and economy. -s4sg
If We are to heal the Ills Of the
world, therefore, it must be dono
through the school house and the
home. 1t cannot be done through
the, courts.
There, is a great deal of talk about
the, crime wave at. present and the
predominancc OF q youthful :. delin-
quents. Some people think the po-
lice and the courts are to blame.
They are not primarily 20 blame.
The fault lies in the school room
and in the home. If children are
properly trained they will not be
criminals. The courts and police
merely exist in order to make up the
deficiencies of the home.
We must begin at the source. AL
most any reform or change can be
carried out noiselessly and easily
through teaching. 1t can only be
done clumsily and in haphazard
way by punishment

mighty muskellunge, one of the swift

is almost impossible for the most

six feet, weighing from 40 to SO
pounds. The muskellunge hides be
