AlLENE SUMMED

Thomas Edison is hunting the
brightest boy in America. His lantern
is a QUESTIONABLE which he is send
ing to schools the country over ask
ing school principals to administer it
to their most likely pupils.
Mr.. Edison's QUESTIONABLE caused
quite a stir some time ago when COL
lege boys, applying for jobs III the
Edison plant. were given it ard tell
down disastrously, whereupon Mr..
Edison, Self-Made Man, had a few
things to say about the inadequacy
of our modern educational system,
and SO on.
HE WAS "GUYED"
There was no little ''guying" di-
rected at the QUESTIONABLE and Mr.
Edison for assuming that a youths
ability to tell when Rome fell and
why means real intelligence. Many
critics who resented his showing up
of higher learnin' reminded him
that anyone could find out specific
facts. but that education created q
trained mind which knew what to do
with facts. as we'll as where to find
them.
4 i i
TYPICAL
Other critics said that the prepar-
alton of a QUESTIONABLE which sought
to learn the exact information which
a college boy had rather than to seek
to learn what he would do with facts
was indicative of a self-made mans
misunderstanding of the whole aim
Of education.

HE'S BRAVE
However, all this may be, MI. Edi-
son is as brave as the judge of a
baby contest, for finding the bright
est boy in America involves parental
pride in offspring, and nothing raises
such a hulabaloo as a clashing OF
some several hundred thousand SAM

w many weeks past, the pro-

memory of most parents. Perhaps
some parents themselves are won

But the danger OF that dread con-

and the facts concerning it should
be known by everyone, old and

Tetanus is caused by a germ,

disease may set In within 10 days.
Acute cases last from one to 10

lives until the tenth day he has
an equal chance for life. After
that each day increases his
chances to get we'll.
The most important thing to
do in all wounds is to remove all
particles of dirt or whatever can
be seen with the naked eye and
then to paint the wound well with
