The American Telephone and Tele.
graph Company, according to a recent
statement of Walter S. Clifford, presi.
dent, expects the department of de.
velopment and research to have de.
vice perfected and in operation during
the next few months that will make
transatlantic telephone conversations
private.
AS to the present number of tele-
phone calls paying for the establish.
ment Of this service, Mr. Clifford said,
Transatlantic service is not yet self.
sustaining, but, based on experience In
the opening Of trans-continental tele.
phone service in 1915 there is every
reason to expect an increase in the
number of telephone calls to England.
AT the opening of the trans-conti.
mental service, we had one line be-
tween New York and San Francisco,
and the average number of calls over
that line per day for the first year
or so was about three. Today the bust.
ness has grown so that it requires
three distinct trans-continental routes,
one In the south, one in the center and
one In the north. From this 1t will
appear that the telephone business has
an important part to play and that
part successfully, it should lead rather
than follow the growth. This, of
course, means expenditures of money
in anticipation of community growth"

ENVIRONMENT

T the University of Michigan
"A they have been trying ex-
periments with the students
which. If extended and confirmed,
may change some ideas about edu-
cation, heredity, effect of environ
ment, etc.
The experiments were made with
students in the engineering de-
partment. In the course OF the
tests the boys were segregated in
accordance with the showing that
they made in their studies. The
details of the scheme are given
by Professor H. w. Miller in
Science" / only call attention
to some of the results and con.
illusions.
OF the freshman engineering
students concerned in the ex-
periments about 20 per cent
were classed as thigh" and an.
other 20 per cent as ''low." That
left so per cent as intermediate in
their standing-neither very good
nor very poor.
Now comes first surprise, as
follows:
THE low students are, in the
main, the children and grandchil.
dren Of American-born men and
women. They also are the sons
of the better educated and more
prosperous parents
And again, as a corollary and q
contrast:
"A surprisingly large percentage
of the high students are the
grandsons Of foreign-born men
and women. They are the sons
of parents having little education
or none. In the main they are
the sons of parents whose educa-
ton does not include the high
school. Twenty-four per cent are
the sons Of parents who had less
than grammar school educa-
ton"
Now, If this subject interests
you as an American citizen,
proud of his country and DESTROYS
of seeing it obtain the best pos.
sible results from the generous
educational facilities that it af.
fords, read these two additional
statements:
'"The low students had made
relatively poor records on their
preparatory school work, partic-
ularly on mathematics, physics,
The Washington times., 1927-05-31

and chemistry. They made poor
records also on reduced loads Of
work during both semesters in
college.
'"The high students had made
an excellent, or good, record on
their preparatory school work,
particularly in mathematics,
physics, and chemistry"
These last two statements carry
the trouble farther hack toward
its origin. They lay it nearer to
the door Of the home, TO the in
fluence of home life. An unmis-
taxable emphasis IL thus put upon
the responsibility of parents.
