of a young college football hero. in
love with the daughter of wealthy
man, who sees his romance shat
tered when he refuses to keep his
position with her father at the
expense Of his self-respect.
Deciding that the only way to
success is to be ruthless, he goes
into the hijacking game with a
crew of college men anxious for adj
venture and they get plenty of it.
There is not a dull moment in
"Corsair" which bristles with action

CORY Of intelligence Creative Imagination pro-
duceS order out Of chaos.
"As soon as little child can use the kinder
garten peg board, give him one and ask him
to put the pegs into the board. He puts In
the first one; where shall he put the second,
beside the first or at distance? This is the
critical moment. If he puts it. let us say, be-
side the first 1t must be to the right, to the
left, above or below. He Is now ready to put
the third peg into position II he does what
he did with the second peg, he win make row.
A plan appears a definite order Is displayed.
If he works without instruction, he Is producing
an order of his own. He Is already beginning
to develop an intellect.
CONSERVATION of the behavior of children
and adults leads to the conclusion that
education cannot make the stupid intelligent.
Intelligence is q congenital though not inherited
endowment and the amount Of 1t cannot be
increased by training. Genius Is not product
Of breeding; its appearance Is In the hands Of
the gods. The chief condition which appears
to favor superior intelligence Is the variety Of
race and family mixture. The more mongrel q
people the more intelligent; the purer the blood
the more stupid. Intelligence would seem to
require an inner conflict Of cross purpoSes and
opposing impulses. Intellect, on the other hand,
can be bettered by education.
Life confrontS us with problems, new and
old. Just to keep ones self alive Is very old
one. TO live by ones wits is to solve 1t by an
exercise OF intelligence From the cunning OF
horse trader to the genius Of an Aristotle Is a
long step-up on the scale Of intellectual COM
potency, but intelligence may appear at any
intellectual level even q low one, and is d.
vined from what the individual makes Of
opportunity and resources
Education is the device Of civilization to keep
us from encountering new problems. The
method employed Is showing the pupil how to
solve problems instead Of letting him solve them
for himself. It thus makes the exercise Of his
intelligence unnecessary.
when life confronts the graduate with q
new problem, he solves 1t by virtue Of an ac-
quired intellectual habit and in conformity to
the scholastic model Endow O child with

cept for the necessity Of conforming to some
standard Of appreciation-and it may be merely

unconstrained by definite ends.
ITO exercise mans intelligence he must be

the hope that he will profit by experience. II
q child falls down, don't pick him up unless
he Is in imminent danger; let him learn to
pick himself up. II men fall into error, don't
correct them by telling them the truth; let
them founder in error until they ind out the

abraham Lincoln is an example of this
He displayed intelligence by his self-educaton.
Yet Lincoln's immortal success cannot be en-
tirely attributed to his intelligence. Good luck
also entered into it. While by the use of his
intelligence he became fitted for the place in
history which he filled. it was only by good
luck that he happened along at just that time
when a combination Of circumstances gave him
the fortunate opportunity Of preserving the
Union, Of freeing the slave.
'In speaking Of intelligence, we must be
careful to distinguish 1t from intellect, for q
