Scientific Child Study

Having added several years to the average span
of life science, as represented by the huge Rookie
teller Foundation, has decided to give attention to
questions touching the value of such extended life.
The Rockefeller trustees this year talked the matter
over and voted to use less money on bochemistry
and more on experimental schools.
They have decided to catch the little human AMI
NAL when about Q years of age and subject him and
her to sort of mental microscope. The little ones
are to be gathered into groups and subjected to GER
tain external stimuli and their reactions scientifically
observed and set down methodically on permanent
charts
What external stimulus will induce one baby girl
to drink milk instead Of pouring it into her play
thing boz?3 What circumstance is responsible for
the regulation howl set up by 2year-old boy every
day at approximately II o'clock? What is the differ
ence in the conduct of child in the presence of its
mother and in the presence of eighteen other chill
dren of the same age?
Is substitution better than spanking at 2 years?
And how? Can baby be started in the line # be-
coming good citizen by exposure to group influ-
encesP How does democracy work in world OF
2-year-olds?
Such are few of the questions on which the
mental microscope of the foundations experts will
be turned. In time there will be reports, books
analyses and discoveriesl

That is of the soundest utterances heard since

made as political rewards
The place commonly suggested for Mrs. Hert has
been the interior department. The story of the last
eight years has demonstrated that the secretary

CLEVELAND, Jan. 19.-Colonel
~ Robert w. Stewart simply
cant believe" that old John D. has
taken sides against him in his bat
tie with young John D. Long years
of association and faithful service,
he reasons, should make such a
thing impossible.
A good many people have suspect
ed that Colonel Stewart was af-
flicted with a blind spot, but this
proves it. He can not see that blood
is thicker than water, or that the
code of business, even big business,
has changed.
Men grow, or they rot. They
change in either case, and the
change is shown in their social at
titude more wildly than in any
thing else.
The Rockefellers have grown.
John D. ST., who was thought to be
money mad" twenty years ago, not
only has disproved the indictment
by retiring gracefully, but by fur
nishing the world its best example
of intelligent philanthropy.
His amazing career comes to a
logical climax in this fight for con-
troll of the Standard Oil Co. of In
diana, not to make more millions,
but to vindicate principle:

Times Readers

Editor of The Times; One of the
claims of the proportional voting
adherents is that no political group,
no matter how strong, can capture
the entire council.
That sounds like an English sys-
tenn or q German system; surely
not American. This country need
not be afraid of a majority; the
trouble has been, in the past, of
strongly organized n1inorities.
In Cincinnati according to Sher-
rill's own statement the following
politicians were elected to the
council:
Fred Smaller, Republican boss;
Stanley Mathew, organization
Democrat; E. D. Dickens organiza-
ton Democrat; Martin Daily. Re-
publican machine; Charles o. Rose,
identified with Cincinnati politics
for several years. This gives five
Of the nine to politicians.
He also says TN other words. the
two-party system of government is
carried out. but both parties are
represented, working together in
stead Of being in direct opposition.
Well, that's the "Hf Of IT; what

use the right and left hands with
approximately equal facility
Seventeen right-handed sufferers
were examined by the same nnechan-

changed from the left hand to the
right in childhood.
In only three of these cases did
the electrical device indicate a de-

The results seem to show definite
ly some relationship between the
handedness of the persons con-
cerned and their speech ability.
They are an indication of the
possibility for the future in getting

lowering the incidence of this en-
barrassing and disturbing disability.

Immigration Changes Unwise

Congress should repeal the law to distribute inn

The national origin plan supposed that it is pos
be by going back to the census of 1890 to determine
what portion of our population in 1920 was OF lmmi-
grant stock and to determine to what countries this
immigrant stock owes its origin The percentages

w tionwide interest, and justly
so, it is of peculiar Importance to
Cleveland. Cleveland is where John
D. Rockefeller ST., made his start;
where he fought those first uphill
battles which often spell the diff
ference between failure and sue
cess; where he became the target
for public hate and suspicion, not
only because of his ruthless tactics
and spectacular triunphS, but be-
cause of the ever-rising ire of his
defeated rivals; where he was SO
hard put to it on one occasion that
his barber refused him credit;
where solid business men once re-
garded him as a reckless plunger.

Cleveland is. IF vote were taken

a S a matter of fact, several of
4 n the subjects which Sumner and
others would assign to the medical
profession, with everybody else ex-
Guided, are not essentially medical
problems.
Inversion which Sumner would
confine to consulting room and
laboratory discussion is for the most
part a social problem. In the first
place, vast majority of people
burdened with what we call sexual
abnormalities never come into con-
tact with physicians at all. One of the
unfortunate things about abnormal
people is that they are normal
enough to detect their own short
comings.
Very few physicians, if any, can
do much to correct the mental slant
of people who have become set in
anti-social lives. If help is to come
to these unfortunates, it must be
given during adolescence or before.
To that end it is essential that
teachers, social workers and, most
Of all, parents, should have some
knowledge Of psychiatry. 1t is mon
strous that most instructors in
schools and colleges should be al
most as ignorant of complicated
sexual problems as the very pupils
they profess to teach.
This nation, like most others, has
been content to assume that what
we call abnormality or perversion
is a thing so rare and unusual that
it may be best for all concerned to
forget about it.
There is no indication whatsoever
that the business of forgetting has
diminished in any way the incidents
of abnormality. Indeed I think we
might make a good start by drop
ping such words as ''perversion" and
"abnormality."
There is too much rtproach in
them. One cannot escape the i'm.
plication that there is something
wilfully vicious about all persons
who do not conform to the tradi-
tional emotions of mankind. The
study of many wise men seems to
suggests that which we call normally
is in itself a rarity in any 100 per
cent form.

A New Constitution

Let it be hoped that the proposal to call con-
vention to write new Constitution will receive
than casual attention from the legislature.
Conditions under which the present Constitution
was written have changed. 1t is a different world
government that operated for stage coach has its
troubles in an airplane age
During the seventy-fve or eighty years that have
passed since its adoption the Constitution has re-
ceived additions from judicial sources that make it
even more imperative that the document be changed
if the rights of the people to be maintained.
The most recent decision of the court in regard to
Judges is a case in point. Presumably the men who
drafted the Constitution did not intend that judges
should remain in Office as long as they kept out Of
jais There has always been some power that could
remove the corrupt the tyrannicaL
Unless the court reverses ITSELF it wiz be impos
sibe for any legislature to impeach any judge, no
matter how corrupt, now tyrannical, how arbitrary
he may become.
The only way to get rid of judge is to cinvict him
Of crime, usually impossible.
The whole state government is out of step with
the conditions of life. The old theory of checks and
balances is worn out, as far multiplicity of
Offices is a check on graft.
The modern method is to give responsibility to
one or a very few men and hold them responsible.
The new Constitution of New York, in whose draft
ing Charles Evans Hughes played important part,
limits the number of elective Offices
The constant taking of power to themselves by
the courts, especially in matter of contempt, has
reached the point where the Bill of Rights is almost
obsolete That could be corrected in new Const-
tuition.
The election of judges in separate elections and
without party designation is another change that
is necessary to preserve respect for law and for
courts.
No other action by the legislature offers as many
possibilities for progress this one for new Con-
StitItion
