Today S Science
by DAVID DIETZ :

DOYS and girls who have trouble with their arith-
ID metic lessons Will welcome with JOY the sugges-
ton of Dr. David Eugene Smith. emeritus professor
OF mathematics az Columbia university, that much
now taught in arithmetic be dropped from the cur
rculum.
Their JOY however. will be tempered by the fact
that Dr. Smith thinks 1t will take at least half a
century 10 arrive at ideal curriculum.
no doubt many adults who remember their own
struggles with arithmetic will be inclined TO agree
with DR.. Smiths opinion of the necessity Of revising
the teaching of arithmetic
Common fractions" Professor Smith says. have
becC ne relatively uncommon in use. Aside from
halves. thirds. fOurths and eghths the average per-
son has little Use for these Anticipated forms In
subtraction or division their is almost negligible

joriy OF people are easily defined and the pretended
uses may well be cast aside

thirty propositions relating plane figures At the
same time he would stress the exercises and empha
size the fact that the great purpose of geometry is
its Skfllful Introduction 10 logic.
In trigonometry.' he continues. we shall recog
ze that the initial stages far easier than those
OF present algebra and that the chief lesson for
most pupils is that OF indirect measurement"
Il would be unfair TO DR.. Smith 10 leave the
impression that he is interested in teaching less
mathematics 10 students. IN fact. his real purpose
is Just the opposite. He IS interested in clearing use
less timbers from the present structure Of school
mathematics in order that they can be replaced
with useful ones.
DR SMITH knows some Of the objections which
IL will be raised 10 his ideas and so proceeds to
answer them in advance.
There may be some who say that I advocate

which perpetuate useless customs. DR.. Smith says

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-z

THE question of inheritance of disease of men
tai defects and its relationship to life is more
prominent in the public eye today than ever before
in history.
The great social experiments being made in many
countries, including human sterilization in Germany,
have served to focus attention particularly on hered
ity.
There was a time when scientists believed that
acquired characteristics could be transmitted. Now
this view has been largely abandoned because Of the
lack Of any experimental evidence to support it and
also because it has been shown that the reproduce
tive cells separated from the rest Of the grow
ing child at an early stage in its development.
1t was thought at one time that leprosy was
hereditary; now we know it to be nfective.
HOWEVER there is good proof that human char
l. acteristics-both mental and physcal-may be
transmitted. For example, musical memory may
in families and in fact good memory altogether may
be inherited in certain families
The color of the eyes may be inherited the shape
of the chest, and the size Of the body
However, so far as concerns sterilization Of the
human being to prevent the passing Of mental
and physical defects. the actual knowledge is so
deficient and so exceedingly uncertain as TO cause
considerable doubt the rightfulness usefulness
OF human sterilization on a large scale.
Z XPERTs estimate that the lower one-fourth Of
Il the population is producing one-half of the next
generation and that therefore there is a tendency
for the lower half TO multiply until it swamps the
upper half.
The situation is complicated by the fact that the
mentally defective strain may be transmitted by
those who not themselves mentally defective, so
that one authority estimates that the complete
elimination of all the feeble-minded in the United
States at time would eliminate feeble-nind-
edness since there would be more than 100000 cases
in the next generation resulting from nornals who
transmitted feeble-mindedness
In the United States twenty-seven states now
have laws for sterilization Of insane feeble minded
and epileptc. and in states criminality is in
Guided. There seems to be great deal Of difference
in opinion TO inclusion Of criminality and thers
is also much disagreement what types Of feeble
mindedness and mental deficiency ought to be con-
sidered.

Those responsible for "She
Loves Me Not" went one better
and placed two hit numbers in
this one.
The numbers I am referring to
are Love In Bloom" which is one
of the most tantalizing tunes I
have heard in many moon and
the other Is Straight From the
Shoulder"
Another reason for this pictures
appeal is that Bing Crosby, Mir
lam Hopkins and Kitty Carlisle
head the cast which has The fine
work of young Edward Nugent.
Bing is in on both of these num-
bers and the way he and Kitty
Carlisle develop Love In Bloom"
proves that Crosby is the best
singer of that particular type of
song we have on the screen.
While singing, Miss Carlisle is
a marvellous surprise. She not
only has a good voice, but she
has poise and showmanship. She
does a great deal to keep this
smart farce on high-toned univer-'
sity life down on earth.
She is cast as the deans daugh-
ter who is not too surprised to
learn that Paul LaWton Crosby
and Buzz Jones (NugenD have
bobbed the hair of Curly Flagg

mems clothes and secreted her in

Little Esther Cleveland was only
81 when her father left the White
House at the end of his second
term. But she still keeps little
fragmentary impressions of that
Gay.
IT'S queer what things stick in
La child's mind" she says. "I
can still remember where we used
to have our supper. and the gen.
eral plan of that part of the
White House where we were al
lowed to play.
Il can also remember our last
day there, when we were waiting
for the carriage to convey us to
the railway station.
I remember the satisfaction
with which I wore my little gloves
in preparation for the journey.
There is one thing I do not re-
member, but which members of
the family have told me. I was
sitting there very prlmly, waiting
to leave the White House, when
one of the attaches said, teas
ingly:
why are you leaving us?'
Il am supposed to have replied:
Cause there can't be two Presi-
dentsr"
TINE Clevelands moved to
u Princeton, N. j., where the
ex-President became trustee of
the university and of a great life
insurance company.
Esther Cleveland went to a pri-
vate school in Princeton, and. on
the death of Cleveland, to Switz-
erland with her mother and sis
tiers.
Then she went to a finishing
school, made her debut in 1912,
and returned to Europe with her
mother just when the war broke.
