Teaching and Learning.

Says Bertrand Russell, a child
learns to understand words exactly rs
he learns any other process of bodily
association. II you always say bottle
when you give a child his bottle, he
presently reacts to the word bottle
within limits. as he formerly reacted to
the bottle"
Ever try to teach dog anything Al,
first. IL you're kinda dumb. you'll b.,
discouraged. The dog is so very dumb
That's the way you explain your failure.
Truth is. you have 10 know more than
the dog in order 10 teach him anything.
Now II you know just a little. IN n
scientific way. you will FIND it easy and
rather enjoyable to teach or train your
COG. cat or other animal.
The essential thing for you 10 know
Is the meaning of conditioned refieXcs."
DR. I. p. Pavlov. famous Russian physi
oiog:st gives this explanation OF con-
ditioned reflex
Food stimulates the food reaction.
which consists of some movements nj
the ANNA. and secretion. If some dif-
ferent agent, which previously ha'!
nothing In common with feeding. Is re-
peated many times with the feeding nj
the dog after time ii begins To stlinu
late the food reaction when used alone.
II We produce some distinct musical
sound. for instance. at given rate o.
frequency OF vibration per secondhand

after a while this sound used alone.
viii produce the same food reaction as
the food Itself
believe successful husband con-
trollers and champion hog callers
understand instlnctively about condi-
toned refiexcs.
pavlov has proved that conditioned
reflexcs are inherited Ii his labora-
tory successive generations of white
mice have been trained to respond Ia
an electric bell which means dinner
time. The first generation required 400
iessons~~that il, the ringing ri tn" bell
was combined with tho feeding Of the
mice 800 times before they learned tn
heard the bell. The second generation
generation required 30 lessons. The
fourth generation required 10 lessons
The nth generation required flve les
sons, Thu sixth generation
Like every good story. this had 10 be
a continued one. Pavlov said he would
/ test the sixth generation OH his return
j from America, but he thought 1t very
probable that in due time there would
come generation Of the white mice
that would run TO the feeding place on
| hearing the dinner bell. without pre-
rious lesson
Instincts are probably only inherited

then said the lady, Why, no., said
the youngster. You know what it is

man who. on such a stormy day as last
Tuesday. is compelled to walk / mile
along mud road from his home to a
bus line. He is engaged in business in
Washington. Few automobiles can
churn through the mire Of his particu-

In considering home life the diver

sity of ideas should add zest to days
rather than disagreements between a
man and wife or parents and Children.
| II one cannot see matter as does an
other, let him or her reflect that there
| is a mans point of view and womans
| Then let each endeavor to see things
| from the others side. A man frankly
acknowledges the difference in these
two points of view. Sometimes he Is
exasperated, sometimes he Is amused.
but he agrees to the difference in look
ing at the matter.
A woman is loath to acknowledge
this difference. In this We are speak
ing of the average woman. There are
others who find mans point of view
extremely fascinating. 1t is when
piquing. and woman finds a mans
point of view equally engrossing. that
they make a good pair.
Life cannot be dull when each finds
something in the other that reacts as
q mental spur. mental diversion. or
mental Joy This side of home life is
TOO often overlooked. The woman ex-
poets her husband to see things from
her standard The man finds difficulty
in having his wife's views at variance
with his. Before marriage these very
differences of thought did not make
them IN opposition. Each one of them
was happy III conceding his or her
viewpoint to the other. Then life was
glamorous and intriguing, interesting
and happy.
And SO We find that after marriage
there has to be an appreciation of the
present existence of the two viewpoints.
The mans is of the outside world tenn
pered by home life. The womans is
the viewpoint of the home modified by
the outside as it touches her life. The
two psychologists are different. If 1t
we're not so there would be boredom
and a stupidity to life together that
would be deadening to mental actions
and reactions. 1t is when woman
always knows how her husbands mind
works, what he will do under certain
circumstances. what he will say to
question on any special subject. that
life is fiat and stale Instead of find
ing married life dull let us be glad that
there do exist two points of view gov
erned by the fact that one is a mans
and the other woman's.

Today in
Washington History
ny DONALD A. CRAIG.

February II, 1791-President WASH
ington today wrote letter to his agents
for the purchase of land for the new
CAPITAL City, instructing them to pay
the high prices asked by the obstinate
MIR. Burnes," as he has come to be
known since the movement began to
acquire the site of the new city. The
President has been informed that David
Burnes owns lands to the southwest of
a line from where the road crosses
Goose Creek In going from Georgetown
to the Eastern Branch" The Presi-
dents agents wrote him OF their tnten-
ton to offer Mr.. Burnes as high as Il
or 10 pounds, or from S32 TO SAB per
acre. but that in the event he should
ask Is pounds, or $67 per acre. they
would await further instructions.
President Washington in his letter.
replying to the above suggestion. said
that ito prevent delay would wish
his lands to be purchased even at those
prices rather than not to obtain them.
In this same letter President wash
ineton instructs his agents here, who
are Col William Deakins and Benjamin
Stoddert, residents of Georgetown. and
we'll known men of public spirit, to buy
as many as possible Of the lots in the
townsite of Hamburg or FunkstoWn.
but mot exceeding the rate Of IS pounds.
per acre" This townsite lies near the
Potomac River to the southwest OF
where the Presidents House is to be
built. It was originally owned by Jacob
Funk, a German resident OF Frederick.
Md. who purchased the land and laid
it off into building lots in the year
1863. The lots have a frontage OF some
100 feet and depth of about 200 feet
and there are in all 287 OF them. MANY
of the lots have been sold by Mr. Funk
T. is understood that there will be no
difficulty in reaching an agreement
with most of the owners for the pur-
chase Of the lots within the price
named.
