KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY PROF. JOSEPH JAsTROW.

doesn't matter how We measure, so long
as We use the same units. You notice
that the differences are small, but hold
for the average.
II you have enough specimens Of
these ineffective" brains they will lack
only five teaspoonfuls as compared to
the average and less than 20 as COM
pared to an effective" brain. But in
1918. the year of our intensive war
efforts. the average ineffective brain
fell TO 358. During that year none but
, the veriest fool was left destitute: the
others were all in the Army or earning
good wages In civilian life"
But in 1913, when the men came
back and there was no place for the
lowest grade of "ineffectives," the brain
size rose to 385. Now better and bigger
brains also became public charges. As
times became easier and there was en-
ployment for those on the lowest
rounds Of the ladder Of efficiency the
brain size of those who fell out of the
race decreased.
And then in 1921 it rose to the .ap-
palling level of 1893. That meant a
| sudden increase Of effective" men who
in despair gave up the struggle. seme
OF them to take their own lives. others
to yield to the poorhouse AS the social
situation became normal the brain size
| OF Cleveland ineffectives went down 10
the normal level for them. Who
| would have guessed that the effects of a
| war In Europe would be registered in
| the ups and downs of brain weight In
| the poorhouse of Cleveland!
| So bigger brains are better brains. II
you are careful to understand the term
correctly and use a fine scale. Un-
doubtedly the advantage OF the superior
| brain Is superiority of quality which
goes with size. Apparently 1t Is. be-
cause that last addition indicates
quality. also that 1t rises above the
average in intelligence.
Taking mean values, 375 teaspoons
are needed for fool. $50 for an honest
man. and, on the average. about five
teaspoonfuls saves from inferiority. A
brain just a little better equipped Is
enough to make a great difference in
the result. ''
The effect Of civilization Is to make
small differences count. We are no
longer jacks OF all trades. but little
masters OF one. II We can do one
worthwhile thing supremely well the
world rewards US, even II we are pretty
poor In all else. It's the we'll Organized

Brains and Poverty,

We commonly speak Of brainy men.
and the common notion Is that brainy
men have more brains than the COM
mon man. Accordingly they are wiser,
accomplish more. get to the top places
Size isn't the only thing that counts in
brains; quality counts. That means
how the brain Is organized. whether
fine or coarse. Something can be told
from how rich it is in those compli-
Gated foldings which you can see In
calves brains or sleeps brains.
is not always true that bigger brains
are better.
Size counts. as do many other things
In life. on the average. in the long run.
in the group or mass. Men have larger
brains than women. about one-tenth
more by weight. And one might argue
that for that one-tenth more men have
more intelligence than women. If you
take brain weight in proportion to body
weight, there Is still slight advantage
for the male and at all ages. Yet one
cannot decide by weighing a brain
whether 1t is that Of man or woman
But II there were two groups of a score
OF brains each, already sorted out, you
could decide with greater certainty by
weighing that the heavier group was
that Of the men.
Yet weight counts in intelligence
While 1t Is far from being the only
factor. 1t may be an important one, and
it is so in the long run. not In the
individual case. You find average or
even below-avcrage brains among men
who are superior or even great men
and you find large brains am * COM
monplace men. BY selection ne could
make up list OF very great men, like
Byron. Schiller. Beethoven. Gauss and
Cuvier, who had exceptionally large
brains. and also OF those who became
great on an ordinary allowance of brain
or less, such as Shelley. Descartes, Schu-
mann. As caution let 1t be added
that you can't go by the size OF head
alone. Two heads of the same size
may have brains differing in size by a
large amount.
One OF the most striking proofs OF
how brain weight is related to mental
ability Is shown by the records of Or.
Todd. who examined the brains Of those
unfortunates who end their lives as
public charges In the City Of Cleveland.
The average brain size OF these social
ineiiectives," as DIR. Todd calls them.
ending their days In poverty as failures,
was equivalent TO SO fluid ounces. In
familiar small unit this means about
375 teaspoonfuls as compared with
$50 teaspoonfuls for the average. 1t

bees suspected their presence. But as
long as the cold weather lasted there
was nothing to fear from the bees.
It happened one day that Whitefoot
and Mrs. Whitefoot were fast asleep
in their snug nest, after having been
out most Of the night. BY and by into
their dreams there crept strange noise.
At last Whitefoot awoke. The noise was
more than dream. It was loud hum

Whitefoot poked Mrs. Whitefoot Wake

Mrs Whitefoot awoke with a start.
It was needless TO tell harssto listen. She

Mrs. Whitefoot tinidly.
II don't know, but know what we're

''We are going TO remain perfectly

I'm tired, so I'm going TO stay right

'But-but suppose those bees find us!"
whispered Mrs Whitefoot.
They WON'T confidently replied
Whitefoot. They don't like the kind
Of stuff our nest is made OF and they
are not likely to try TO find a way

But what makes the bees hum so?

Whitefoot. THAT must be It. II must

note Is more spe-

| business letter, the note is more spe-
cific.
The note. being Of short length. can
not be considered ime-consuming to
write. Since 1t generally has to do with
some definite matter, about which in
formation is wanted. 1t cannot lie disre-
garded, Notes are a necessity in social
life, even though the telephone has
diminished some Of their requirements.
One Of the things that are attracting
attention Is the lax way in which young
people consider writing notes. A host
ess invites group of her friends to
some function at her home. She sends
short notes asking If they can come.
Notwithstanding the question She is
quite as likely not to get replies rs to
get them. She does not know haw 10
provide for the refreshments. nor
whether the dancing will be enjoyable.
as there may be a lack of partners SO
carefully arranged for when planning
the occasion. Nor does she have any
idea how many favors TO supply. All
her perplexities would be solved in these
matters. If the invited guests would send
her the expected notes of acceptance
or regrets. A distinct discourteSy is
paid the hostess. If note is not sent.
Another occasion when a note is es-
sential is upon the receipt of gift, not
presented In person. It may be flowers.
candy. book. or any one of the many
things sent from shops in town, or by
mail or express from a distance. The
person who sends the present often is at
loss to know whether the gift was even
received. let alone getting the thanks
that should be forthcoming. Such laXity
is ineXcuSable.
The lack OF responsibility Of the youth
OF today in matters Of the kind men,
toned is appalling. Older people are
aStonished. and often so annoyed that
further invitations are withheld and
gifts discontinued. Yet it is the older
folks who are largely responsible. If
parents impress upon their children the
necessity of sending just few lines of
acknowledgment or acceptance, etc.
fewer social blunders of the sort would
occur. Young people are apt to be
punctilious about observing what they
believe to be correct social customs.
They like to appear to be worldly wise.
Why then Is this attitude taken about
writing notes? Is it not because they
do not know any better?
