I do not believe anyone knows to-day whether Mr Coolidge is really wet or dry /. Mir Hoover has talked more about prohibi- tion than any other chief executive. but he has said very little . All of which only goes to support the statements of moderate vets that we must face the issue and decide it. Prohibition hasn't succeeded; we don think it will Repeal is demanded.

Quick and Slow Minds

A school superintendent who is responsi- ble for a couple of hundred thousand chii- dren after experimenting largely with intel ligenee tests, concluded that they're not much good, They show the quick minds; but the race IS not always to the swift They discredt slow minds which often win in the long run. He tells of test in technical high school in which the brightest boy in the class" got the exceptional l. Q. rating of l45 and the "dullest boy got 70. A test in geometry gave them both the same grade. 75.
 The scholar who can give a quick answer makes good impression and may not live up to it. The one who grasps a subject quickly may not retain what he has learned. Edison. and many another genius, seemed dumb in school. The quick thinkers may think wrongly The, slow thinkers who take their time in arriving at conclusion, are more likely to be correct about it when they arrive.
