Just Every Day Sense
BY Mrs. walter Ferguson

ME plight OF todays young is called to our
Il attention. II am not writing as an individual
says this correspondent. I'VE are many Young girls
in our twentes, with college education done or half
completed because of lack of funds-but all of us are
searching for work interest to claim what lit
tie knowledge and experience we have tried Sc
seriously to gain.
mo matter where we turn the ways are blocked
we are not intellectual gen radicals but we want
TO add something to the greater whole, as well as
prove our worth to ourselves and our communities"
Such message makes me sad because realize
now true and tragic 1t is. 1t pictures perfectly the
dire situation confronting thousands of young women
at the very Towering Of their lives.
What does the future hold for these girls? I wish
knew. Many of theme will miss marriage, many will
miss finding their niche in business many of them
viii have their whole natures warped with fear and
despair before they reach maturity because of pres
ent economic and social conditions.
DERHAPS the only real contribution any individual
Il make to the community today is that Of
courage And our situation takes more courage thar
was needed by generation that faced a war TORI
world, because they knew they had tremendous joh
to do.
Though their hearts were aching, they could con.
sole themselves with work.
Now multitudes have lost their sense of beins
needed, and this is Americas major spiritual loss
which exceeds in Importance any material privatior
she may have suffered.
IdlenesS is sort of prelude to death And so Il
they would survive this period unframed these girls
must contrive to find something to do whether they
get paid for it or not.
They must keep up their interests, even though
their work be largess to an ungrateful community
Ins is the only way to live through the lean years
SOMETHING must be found to keep hands and brair
busy. And, who knows. perhaps these very girls vii
make tremendous contribution to civilization They
may, in this exigency, discover the secret of how
leisure RAY be enjoyed happily and intelligently,

Asthenia Is Don't Care Ailment

his eyeballs seem to sink back SIM
ply because the muscles that should
sustain them are relaxed.
There is no confusion of the
mind, but person who is asthenic
may be unable to read or write or
engage in conversation or follow a
direct line of thought, simply be-
cause he just feels that it is not
worth while.
When a patient gets into such a
state. he even may be completely
unconcerned with serious affairs
affecting other members of his
family.
Investigators who have discussed
this subject emphasize particularly
the type of asthenia that followed
the great influenza epidemic of
1918.
Some of the people who had the
disease at that time never have
recovered their normal state.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

The individual simply does not de-
velop enough power to carry on, and
therefore fatigues more easily and
rapidly than the normal person. He
lacks dynamic force.
The same person may be full of
vim, vigor, and vitality on one day
and utterly without "go" few
weeks later.
Asthenia therefore is defined as a
condition in which there is INSULT
Gent development of nervous force
to take care of either muscular or
intellectual effort.
In such condition the least move
ment or expenditure of energy
brings on an overwhelming fatigue.
Sometimes rest and sleep do not
help; changes in the diet and the
giving of drugs seem to be useless.
The person SO afflicted becomes
dull. His voice drops to a point
where it is almost inaudible and

critics in the upper peninsula of Michigan announced
not long ago that on Nov. it will call 1900 miners
back to work-not because there is any new demand
for its ore but simply because it recognizes duty tc

The name Of this concern, you might be interested
to know is the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company. Its
mines have been idle for long time it has its prop
critics already mined stock of 325o0OO tons of ore
and its shipments this year have only been 175o OC

The company could exist very nicely for some time
to come without bringing another bucketful of ore

But the miners couldn't; and the company has
accepted its responsibility in very commendable
fashion.

Relatively Clinic

A T the close of 1881, EinStein re-
"a turned to Pasadena for a Sec
ond RELATIVELY clinic"
Or. William de Sitter, famous
Dutch astronomer and authority
upon relatively, also made the trip
to America and both Einstein and
De Sitter joined the discussion in
Pasadena.
The expanding universe was the
chief topic of conversation at the
clinic" and Einstein and De Sitter
issued a joint manifesto in which
they said they were not so certain
as they formerly had been that the
universe was expanding.
tRecently, Sir Arthur Eddington,
another great authority on rela-
tivity, has announced that he is
more certain than ever that the
universe is expanding.)
At the time of Einstein's last visit.
rumors began to be heard that Elm
stein was going to make his home in
America. 1t generally was assumed.
however, that he would stay in
Pasadena.
Princeton is to be congratulated
both on getting Einstein and on get
ting Flexner. One may feel certain
that in signing up Einstein, DR..
Flexner has made the beginning of
assembling distinguished staff for
his new institute.
And, OF course, Princeton uniyer-
sity has a distinguished faculty. in
Guiding number of brilliant
mathematicians who "talko the
mathematical language of Einstein.
DR.. Flexner for many years was
secretary Of the General education
board Of the Rockefeller Founda-
ton.
His brother, DR.. Simon F1exner
is director Of the Rockefeller Insti-
tute for medical research in New
York.
AS secretary Of the Rockefeller
board, DR.. Flexner has played a role
OF tremendous Importance in, Aneri-
can education, particularly in devel-
opment Of medical education in the
United States.
On the assumption that the read
er would like to know more about
DR.. Flexner, will write about his
life tomorrow.

His First Visit
InpOrt0nce.
DROFESSOR EINSTEiIN made hi

PROFESSOR EINSTHIN made his
l. first visit to America as a mem
Der Of a party of distinguished Eu-
ropean Zionists in 1921.
Although his chief purpose on
that visit was to help gain support
and financial aid for the rebuilding
of Palestine, he managed to visit a
number of scientific institutions
during the visit.
For example, he spent day with
DR.. Dayton G. Miller of Case School
of Applied Science in Cleveland, ex-
aiming the apparatus of the IA
nous Michelson-Morley experiment,
with which the foundations of the
EinStein theory were laid in Cleve-
land in 1887.
For it was in that year that DR..
Edward w. Morley and DR.. Albert
A. Nicholson performed their his
toric experiment to attempt to
measure the motion of the earth
through the ether of space.
Einstein returned to America dur
ing the closing days of 1920. This
time his mission was entirely SCI
entif1c.
He had been invited to serve as
foreign visiting professor" at the
California Institute of Technology.
The institute is located in Pasa-
dena DR.. Robert A. Millikan, ia
nous physicist and Nobel prize win
ner, is chairman of its executive
committee.
AS result of his policy, many
famous European scientists had
come to Pasadena in previous years
to hold similar posts.
Behind Pasadena stands a tower
ing mountain range, whose peaks
include Mt. Wilson, site of the
worlds greatest observatory.
At Mt. Wilson, Einstein found as
tronomerS who had verified portions
of the theory of RELATIVELY, DR.. st.
John and Dr. Walter S. Adams, for
example.
He found others collecting data
on which extensions of the theory
would be based. At Gal Tech" he
found mathematician and physi-
cists capable of riding with him
through the most intricate paths Of
the relatively theory.

I always have been extremely
dubious about the familiar theory
which ascribes to every brilliant
author life of sin. Of course, it
might be convenient to anybody
with pretentions, save for the fact
thatsit just won't work.
1t probably is good thing for
the man of high talent to be toler-
ably free from inhibitions. With
certain nice reservations, it is to his
advantage and the advantage of the
world that he should both seek and
find the things in life which invig-
crate him.
But, for that matter, the same
rule holds good even for people who
are not artists, under the broadcast
stretch of that much-abused label.
Conventions of the Wicked
TINE flaw in the theory of loose
Il ness for arts sake is that i'm
morality is responsible for almost
as many cheap catchwords and
false traditions as virtue itself. Only
very fine spirits ever have been able
to sin without consciousness
and a sense of obligation.
Eighty-three per cent of all dis
sipation is undertaken not so much
from any honest longing as from a
feeling that it is the thing to do.
The reservoirs in Central Park
could be filled to overfowing with
cocktails which were imbibed by
persons who didn't really want
them at all, but feared that re-
fuSal might seem little churlish.
The man who tries to make his
revolt against the world simply in
terms of crying out for one more
round and then another will be a
little troubled when he finds that
he has been identified by his COM
munity as "a regular fellow"
And so if were an artist I would
not pay much attention to the
theory Of the development Of genius
by means Of promenades along the
primrose path. Certainly I would
not walk there through any sense
Of duty.
Tt does not seem to me that the
artist who is avidly and consciously
in search of educational experiences
| presents a very attractive figure.

There Is No Such Thing as
the Average Child; Mass
Production Is Not for Hu-
manity.
NEW YORK, oct. 1s.+It is re-
IN freshing to hear recognized
authorities on the subject denounce
this average child" delusion. Moth
ing has done more to mar home life
and mislead education.
AS DR.. J. Newton Kugelmass says,
there is no such being as the aver
age child. All this measuring,
weighing, and testing accomplisheS
little. except to make things easier
for those who want to find a me-
dunn that viii fit the largest num-
Der.
It is Of great advantage for cloth
ing manufacturers to know that
the general height, weight, and
measurements of 8-year-old boys,
but that doesn't prove which g.
year-old boy will wear out the seat
of his pants first, or whether he
prefers brown to blue.
BY no hook or crook can the child
be robbed of that individuality
with which he was born and which
is his rightful heritage. Any scheme
that ignores it, much less under
takes to suppress it, is false.
Mass production is not for hui
mainly, and neither is mass train
ing, except in certain limited lines.
You can take 100 children and
teach them to read or sing in con-
cert, but that does not mean that
each of them puts the same thing
into it, or gets the same thing out
Of it.

iXXTORRY, shock, and prolonged
w nerve strain may produce
weakness and depression and a
feeling of inadequacy as well as
can the poisons of certain infectious
diseases, it now is realized.
So there is a general understand
ing of the significance of such terms
as "neuraSthenia" and 'psychoas-
thenia" and other conditions in
which the terminal phrase "as-
thenia" is prominent.
All the conditions are essentially
those in which there is weakness
and easy fatigue.
In a review of this subject, Drs.

that asthenia represents really di-
minution of potential.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-Joseph Daniels, in
an address here Oct. II, said "Presi-
dent Hoover is the most industrious,
Woodworking chief executive the
United States ever has had. Every
morning before breakfast he ap-
points a commission; but in no re-
corded instance does the commission
ever commish!"
Mr.. Daniels frequently quoted the
much-quoted Hooyerian words, "just
around the corner" to the amuse-
ment of the audience. Today I
heard Putnam county farmer ex-
press his opinion of Hoover. But I
dare not repeat it. 1t would come

please tell me why, in the clamor
for reduction Of expenses of govern
ment, it is necessary to begin with
the schools? Are there not other
places, not so essential as the
schools, where economy could be
practiced and expenses curtailed?
A great preacher has said, 1.-The
future Of the race marches forward
on the feet Of little children" but
how can the race progress if the
children are not educated properly
and cared for?
Do not those in authority realize
that the children of today will be
the officials and lawmakers Of to-
morrow, and that their greed and
shortsightedness of the present may
act as a boomerang in the future?
A teacher of first grade children
said to me recently:
L greatly fear for the effect Of
the depression upon the minds of
these children. So, when school
time comes, we go into the room and
shut the door, and try to forget the
depression and be happy together
for while"
AT the same time, know this

preston on payday, the same as the
rest Of us. but this Is the kind Of

Worse Than Digging Ditch
MO, writing is a chore, as hard

The process may have eased some
fierce tension in their souls. But I
have known many other folk who
could drink more and sit up later
and who did not become artists at
all.

rolling DR.. Abraham Flea
mer and Professor Albert
EinStein, Is One of Vast
Importance.
THE most interesting and per-
Il hapS the most important ex-
pertinent in the history of modern
education will begin in America
next year.
In the fail of 1888 the new In
stitute for Advanced Study, founded
by DR.. Abraham Flexner, will omen
its doors at Princeton, N. j., with
Professor Albert Einstein of rela-
tivity fame, as head of the school
Of mathematics.
One needs only to consider the
position of EinStein in the world of
science and Flexner in the world
OF education to realize the impor-
lance Of the Princeton experiment.
This Importance becomes still
greater when We remember that
Flexner is out of sympathy with
many trends in present day uni
versity development in America.
He set forth his dissatisfaction in
book published in 1880 titled Uni
verSities, American, English and
German
The Institute for Advanced Study.
of which DR.. Flexner is director.

Professor EinStein has accepted
life employment as professor of
mathematics and theoretical phys
les, and will make his home at
Princeton during the school year,
from Oct. l to April Is. He will

round the Horn and then go pretty
nearly blotto on bad gin before he
sets a pen to paper.
The works of Elmer Rice have

in admiration Of the hard, painstak-

ELMER RICE, who won Pulitzer
II prize and deserved it, went
Communist a few days ago and
promptly exhibited on Broadway the
worst play which he ever has writ
ten and one which can stand as a
new low, even in an all-comers'
tournament.
But it can not be charged rea-
sonably that the conversion of Mr..
Rice to regimented drama has
spoiled his touch. Quite obviously
his BLACK Sheep" is nothing of
recent vintage, but something from
the very bottom of the barrel.
1t is another of those plays about
the artist and how he carries on
when left to himself. The theme is
popular. 1t has attracted the atten-
ton of Sunday supplements and
some of the poorer motion pictures.
But am blessed if I can under
stand how Elmer Rice, a serious
writing man and a good one till
now, can sit down to reel out all
the nonsense which BLACK Sheep
affords.
