Psychology

Intellect.

CURIOUS thing, this human at
tribute called intellect. The phi
loscphers Of the mind have been
working on It for several centuries.
But 20 far they have not found out
much about II.
Take, for example, the theory that
man Ia the creature Of intellect and
that all the other animals are the
creatures, Of impulse. This Is . rather
ancient theory, adored by virtue Of
its very age.
Something like 80 years ago our
modern Psychologists began to study
intellect in an objective way. First
they went to the rat and the raccoon
and the euineapig. The object was
to find out how much intellect these
animals had and how they came to
get it. The laboratory results were
astounding.
They found that animals learn
what they learn In about the same
way that human beings do their
learning. This led to the suspicion
that all living things possess this
thing called intellect. And 80 the an
cient theory as to who had intellect
and why had to be modified.
As matters now stand, 1t seems
that animals have to use all their
intellect to get along. while human
beings get along by using only q small
part Of their full intellectual capacity.

news:
The young City of London, On
tario, Is the home of three and a half
times rs many people as the City Of

That would be true, in q sense.
Census figures Of q few years ago gave
London, Ontario, 4 population of H.
600; while only 10000 persons were
listed as actual residents Of the City Of

The explanation is this: What
Englishmen call "the City" Is only q
very small part Of Greater London.

spoken of as "the original London
Town, around which the Romans built
their walls" 1t contains banks, ONCE
buildings and the headquarters Of

firms; but only small number Of
them live and sleep in "the City"

THIS surname, originally spelled
Hoo, Is traced to ancient France,
where it signified in those times, q
high place. hill. It later took on
the Norman form of "de Ia Hoo" and
de Ia Howe" meaning people who
lived on the hill. The name was intro
duced into England at the time Of the
Norman conquest, and has been con-
sistently spelled Howe in that country.
In the New England States Of Amer
lea 1t was spelled How until compare
lively recent times.
John How, the immigrant ancestor
Of large number of families of this
name in America. is thought to have
descended from John Howe of War
wickshire, England, and to have been
a grandson of John Howe of Hodin-
hall. This line has been traced back
to Sir John Howe of Lancaster, who
lived during the reign Of Charles I.
John How, the American founder,
was among the earliest settlers Of
Watertown, Mass.
A branch of the English family of
Howe settled in the North Of Ireland
and the name is well scattered
throughout that country. Francis
Howe, Of the Irish branch. came to
America as a child with hfs widowed
mother and located in Stonington.

It Is curiously interesting that a
controversy between Latins and Afri-
cans should be susceptible to adjust
ment through an American Indian
pacifier!
For the calumet is, among American
Indians, symbol Of peace.
We have the term from the iden-
ticsl French word calumet" which,
in turn, is derived from the Latin
''calamus," reed. This is the plant
out Of which Indian pipes are made.
The phrase is said to have been
introduced into the English language
through French Canada. Longfellow

you that Reddy is smart. He is one
OF the smartest of them all. Were 1t
not 80 Reddy would not have been

kind, as he has done. But even peo-
pie as smart as Reddy Fox make
mistakes, and Reddy is no exception
to the rule. He makes mistakes, and
he Is willing to admit 1t which Is
more than can be said Of some people.
Reddy felt that this was an unlucky
night for him. He had the same a.
caught Mrs. Possum and her nine
babies. He hadn't actually caught
them, but it amounted to the same
thing. for he had surprised them so
that Mrs. Possum. not knowing what
else to do, had pretended to be dead,
and all the little, Possums had pre-
tended. too. There they lay, right at
his feet. Then who should suddenly
appear but Mrs. Skunk, and force
Reddy to back up so that finally ne
had to give UP that Possum dinner
he was so sure he was going to take
home to his family. Now he was still
hunting for something to take home.
"I've got to hunt till find some
thing" said Reddy to himself. Il
can't go home with nothing. No, in
deed! That wouldn't do at all. be-
L
haven't visited for long time. There
may be nothing there, but then. again,
there may be something. I've found
it often pays to visit farmyards II
there are no dogs there"
So Reddy made his way to this
particular farmyard. There was no
dog there. There was nothing to pre-
vent his poking about all he pleased.
He first visited the henyard. The
hens were shut up. There was moth
ing to be gained there. Then he went
over and looked all around the out
side OF the barn, and even under 1t.
on the chance that he might catch
a Rat. He had no luck. He heard
Rats seampering about up in the
barn, but he couldn't get up there
himself. 1t was very tantalizing.
Finally he gave up there and went
over to the woodshed back of the
house. 1t was a shed that was open
on one side. Reddy Investigated. He
poked that little black nose Of his
here, there and everywhere, hoping
that he might discover something.
Presently he did. He discovered q
kitten. It was a very young kitten,
80, Of course, it was very helpless
kitten. Its eyes were not yet open.
1t thought Reddy was its mother and
cried feebly.
Reddy looked hastily all about. He
knew that there is not greater love
than the love of q Mother Cat, and
that a Mother Cat will dare almost
anything for her babies. He knew
that kittens were best left alone, but
Reddy had had one bitter disappoint-
ment after another that night, and
that little kitten was very great
temptation. It was too great temp
tation to resist. With one more hasty
look Reddy reached to get the kit
ten. He didn't pick that kitten up.
No, sir. Reddy Fox didn't pick that
kitten up. Something happened.
Something happened very suddenly.
For q startled moment Reddy didn't
really know what had happened.
He wasn't long in doubt. however.
