BRAINS IS BASIS
 OF MAKING CHOICE
Wesleyan President Explains
 How to Pick Students

Middletown. Conn, April 2s A7-- A method of selecting from among the nearly half million high school students graduated each spring these young men who will profit most from college education and use it most for the common good as expressed recently by Prof. F. l. Thorndike, eminent Columbia university psychologist and Wesle- van university alumnus, was ex- rlained to Wesleyan university students today by President James l.. McConaughy.
 Professor Thorndike's criterion by which his alma mater can make its selection Is brains.'' His remarks were made at meeting of the Wesleyan university Alumni association in New York.
 Selection for intellect" says Dr. Thorndikc," has the special merit of being thoroughly practicable IL is very hard to estimate the all around abilities of thousand hoys accurately enough to pick the hundred who are the most talent. ed, energetic and capable. It is still harder to devise and apply measur- ing rods for character, manhood and idealism. But certain aspects of intellect, thanks to the work of rsychologists In the last score of years, are measurable. Within certain limits 1t is possible to know the intellectual quality Of such q thousand boys with sub stantial accuracy. years before they go to college.
 Selection for intellect has still another merit Intellect Is not only good in and Of itself; 1t is q symptom Of ability. character and idealism. The thousand intellacts that graduate from high school this spring will beat 8 thousand average graduates in writing, niu- sic, debates, swimming. baseball or any other worthy ability. Tn games where physical strength is & great asset, as in rowing and football. they will be at some disadvantage because they get into college young. before they have attained their full size and strength. Even with this handicap they should win"

oudja, Rococco, April 2s P,-- President Wilson's dream of peace withou, victorJ las come to pass. Representative of the Riffian tribesmen and their antagonists, the French and Spanish, are sitting al tho green baize-topped table dis cussing how to end the war in the Riff,
 Tho fact established in the ac- knoWledged peace conference is that the Rlffians are recognized as beli. gerents and are negotiating on equal terms with the Franco Spanish plenipotentiaries, Security and re- spect for international treaties are said officiall'' to have been the sub Jects of the first deliberations. The armistice which has existed in fact for six weeks now becomes effectl1 $ under military law. Any shot fired by any combatant from six o'clock yesterday evening becomes a casus belli. The French and Spanish troops have been ordered to refrain from all warlike manifestations. even parades. Roughly summed up, the first official contact seems to in .. dlcate that all three delegations to the peace conference are convinced that there must be peace,
 It is indeed a pleasure 10 speak with such an eminent representative 6 of French civilization as General Simmon, said Si Mohammed Azer- kane, chief of the Riffian delegation and broth r-in-law Of Abd- FL -krinl, the Riffian war lord, to the corre- spondent of the Associated Press to- day We have been described as savages in North and South Amer ica.
