Chemical Warfare

out its detractors. Many phi.
losophers and statesmen are openly
confessing their fear Of science
and its deadly possibilities They
allege that scientists go heed
lessly ahead, making innumerable
new discoveries, without consider
ing for a moment the terrible
applications to which these new
discoveries may be put. Scien-
fists, in anticipation of the com.
ing warfare of the future, are
preparing means of universal
destruction.
The argument will not bear a
moments inspection. The philoso-
piers and statesmen who voice
this dread Of science are really
voicing a dread of the depravity
of the human species. Science
has discovered scores of poisons,
hundreds of deleterious, hurtful
and destructive chemicals, for all
OF which there is or may be
some useful purpose. But the hu'
man race does not go about poi
soning itself merely because The
means for doing so are at hand.
We are not more afraid of poison
gas or of chemical warfare in
general than of machine guns,
Big Berthas, or the physical and
mechanical warfare of the past.
We dread these new weapons
chiefly because they are mysteri-
Gus in their effects, with dread.

more dreadful for being unknown.
We hear on every hand that
the warfare of the future is to
be chemical warfare. Towards
the close of the world war. ru.
mors were rife that new gases
had been discovered which. when

numbers, would wipe out entire

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

1T would be well if all children
l. were to receive mental tests
every year or more. irrespective
of whether the child Is doing we'll
at school or not.
! say this because a mental
test, If properly given and inter,
preted and by a psychological ex.
pert tells me more about child's
mental state and development
and in a shorter space Of time
than any other known means.
Physicians are forever advising
yearly physical examinations for
adults as we'll as for children.
Why not then a frequent check
up on how the brain is develop
ing, whether the child is properly
placed in school whether he needs
special instruction in certain
branches and whether, in the last
analysis, his mind and body are
properly correlated in his ad-
Vancement.
Often it happens that a child
becomes discouraged with all his
school subjects simply because
he is not doing we'll with some
one particular study,
The fault may be the Child's
and it may not. Frequently it
is the teacher who does not
know how or does not have the
time to help the child over his
difficulties. Certainly there are
many, many children who have
never been taught how to study.
Teach them how and at once the
child sees his troublesome task
as a comparatively easy if not,
indeed, a fascinating pastime.
The right kind of mental tests
in the right hands will bring all
such facts to light.
To be sure, no mental test
can tell everything about any
body's mind.
AS DR.. Guy M. whipple has so
we'll stated. when we speak
of mental test. we have in mind
the experimental determinations
for a given individual of some
phase of his mental capacity, the
scientific measurement of some
one of his mental traits"
But, nevertheless, nowadays
there are many kinds OF tests
and it is the psychological exam
iner's duty to select which tests
will cover best the various phases
of mental capacity as we'll as the
various mental and emotional
traits that are in question.
When one is present at the
giving of mental test, say to
a child. there is always a desire
on the part OF the onlooker to
want to help the child, to coach
him, SO to speak. One feels that
the child may not have under
stood fully the instructions given
by the examiner. One is apt to
jump to the. conclusion that the
child knows more than the test
ELECTS.
The point is that tests must
be given in a certain prescribed
way always. Even the information
of the examiners voice may make
a difference. One must be en-.
couraging. yes. But such such
encouragement must not suggest
the answer.
Qualified psychological testers
have attended college courses
and have been taught what to
do and what not to do. And
what they have been taught is
best and is based on years of
experiment with thousands of CHI.
dren.
IT is we'll that parents or in.
terested relatives be excluded
when mental test is given.
