state reterans farm and home pur-
chase act even though they served
honorably in the United States

BIOLOGICAL REACTIONS

oman Judgment rendered with the aid of moving pic
lures, in this case of two wanting the same
baby
There question of maternity, as in the orig
inal case One woman admitted to be the natural
mother of the child and the other the foster mother
The question was which ought to have the child?
The court awarded it to the foster mother who
had cared for it most of the time since its BIRTH the
recommendation of the psychologists They after
studying the films made by concealed movie cameras
agreed that the foster mother showed "a much
marked biological emotional reaction" than the natural
mother when threatened with loss of the child
AS remarked above that may have been the right
decision But emotions not always good cri-
teron. The who cries most easily may not
make the best mother. And almost any child shows
marked biological emotional reaction when deprived

PUPILS LEAVE POOR SCHOOLS

"Proportonately children leave the inferior
schools than the better Schools says an authority on
this subject .In Maryland in 1924, one IN every 70
children in the inferior single teacher schools lett Tor
illegal employment, compared with one IN 60o n the
better graded schools. The figures on children leaV-
ing for permissible employment show that where the
children who are able to go with school are con-
cerned good schools keep them where poor schools
lose them One in every Ii in Maryland left the single
teacher schools for permissible work while only one IN
SO left the graded schools for such work.
Here is proof of the oft-lnade claim that when
schools really meet the pupils needs educationally
they hold their students Where the childrens inter
est is not aroused and held the outside job at which
little money may be earned makes the big appeal.
There are many reasons for having better schools
throughout the country, the small towns and rural
districts as well in the cities Ease of transporta

educational opportunities the latter The shortterm

another Mexican outbreak the sort of thing
to expect of Mexicans, and promptly forgotten.
1t deserved more attention than that for two reasons
First reason: the bandits, on entering the train,
asked all the Amercanos present to step forward then
left them unharmed and unrobbed except for
pistol which the bandit chief took with profuse apol

Second reason: the nurderous band rounded
up by Mexican troops, many of them killed in the

fenced and executed within "a hours.
