KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY PROF. JOSEPH JAsTRoW.

test, and It doesn't mean that Indians
have greater endurance than whites In
all things, though the results are 80
marked 1t Is pretty certain that the
negro children are distinctly behind.
The same was shown OF the general
mental ability of negroes as compared
with white enlisted men in the war.
so there are differences of mental
ability of race, but they are not as
marked as they would seem 10 be, II
we went by the success OF positions that
negroes and Indians occupy in the
country at large. For training and
opportunity count very heavily. and al
ways in complex kind of living such
as ours small differences count.
As nature made negro. Indian and
white, they are not very different in
ability in terms Of the average spec!-
men Of each placed under the same
situation. But the kind of differences
that count in our kind Of civilization
need TO be measured by finer yard
stick. Yet we must never forget that
race situated as Is the negro doesn't
have the same chance, the same exDec-
tation and stimulation to do its best, as
obtains among the whites who are the
ruling class.
For the rest, the races Of the So
called melting pot, emlgrants from
Europe are. in this big view, so mixed
with our ruling strain that We have to
be much more careful in regarding their
differences In mental habit as being due
to race. Presumably 1t is almost al
due TO training though not quite all.
In the case of the Chinese, we see again
that a race which for generations
worked according to one pattern Of
living could, when they put their minds
to it, take up very different pattern
and do it well. The Chinese mind
showed itself promptly equal 10 Western
habits Of thought when they decided 70
compete in our world They learned 10
play our kind Of game as well rs their
kind. All Of which should make US
tolerant of differences Of race, and yet
ready to recognize and utilize such diff
ferences as are the gifts Of nature.
Evening star., 1928-03-21

The land of the melting pot is also
racial laboratory, and psychologists are
taking advantage Of 1t. For six or seven
generations before the great emanctpa-
ton. negroes we're brought from West
Africa to pick cotton In our South. They
learned to live the white mans way
What they show is that men are pretty
much the same under the skin and in
their brains.
Think of the kind OF life that the
one generation led in Africa, their be-
licfs and customs, their tools and dwell
ings, their occupations and contacts,
and think of the next generation speak
ing acting, living, thinking in a wholly
different manner. 1t shows that the
African mind Is intelligent enough to
live according to the American pattern
though that pattern is the inheritance
from many generations OF western
European civilization. For in any such
comparison we must compare the negro
with the white man Of the same OPP
portunities, not with the selected, edu-
Gated white man.
And then there is the Indian, the
only true American, who has been
crowded out except in so far as he
has adopted the white mans habits,
The Indians are still here in their
descendants.
Prof. Garth, in Texas. has tested chill
dren Of the three strains-white. Indian
and negro--in school work. and espe-
cially for the one quality Of endurance.
He kept the younger children at adding
numbers for. nearly half an hour and
the elder children for nearly three
quarters Of an hour. to see whether they
would get tired, get out Of mental
breath and show 1t in their work.
We know that Indian runners have
great endurance, and that one Of them
won in a 400-mle race. tremendous
marathon of endurance. The advantage
is in favor OF the Indians and decidedly
against the negro.
The same held fine in Prof Garth's
experiment. whether you judge by the
ground covered or the number of mis-
takes made. Now that is only little

since he was little fellow Through
Jenny Wren he learned of two Southern
cousins the Marsh Rabbit and the
Swamp Rabbit. He had heard of his
Western cousin. the Jack Rabbit. and
of his cousins in the Far North. the
Arctic Hares. So Peter thought he
knew all of his relations. But Peter
was mistaken. 1t isn't safe for anybody
to think he knows all of his relations.
So Peter was greatly surprised when
Scrapper the Kingbird remarked that
when he had been down in far-away
country called Panama for the Winter
he had seen cousin of Peters down
there. You ought to have seen Peters

there" said Peter.
Tut. tut, Peter! Tut, TUT" exclaimed
Scrapper the Kingbird. Have you
ever been down there?"
NO" replied Peter. "Of course,
haven't been down there"
Then what right have you to say
that you haven't a cousin down there?"
demanded Scrapper sharply.
Peter looked little bit foolish, but
he wasn't willing to yield yet

Scrapper: truly I will. Does he look

Scrapper cooked his head on one side

carefully. "W-e-l-l" said he very
slowly, IT should say that there is a

eagerly.
Scrapper shook his head. NO" said
he, "i1e hasn't white tail. And it's
an even shorter tail than yours"
Peter bounced up eXcitedly. What
color Is his tail?" he cried.
1T is the same color as his coat, and
his coat is reddish" replied Scrapper.
But for all that he's a real rabbit. I've
seen him often. Hes real rabbit and
he's Just as stupid as you"
What's that?" cried Peter angrily.

Tucked Yoke.

The voluminous silhouette which Is
so complimentary to the tall, sleek grey
hound type of woman and which SC
recently has become the smart one is
created in a Spring coat by tucks in
a back yoke. This gives a well groomed
look to the shoulders as well as a fare

The tucked yoke is also an example
