The rats in DR.. Maier's laboratory
solve problems much more intricate
than the swastika-problems which
the children cannot touch at all. In
these problems the rats learn four
separate parts of a route to food.
The routes are interchangeable, so
that even a human pedestrian might
have to stop and think which corner
to turn. Each day the combination is
changed. That is, each day rat has
to learn that his route today is differ
ent than the one he previously solved.
BY pure chance the rats should
solve the problem rs per cent of the
time, as there are four possibilities
Due to the daily changing, they would
solve less than 25 per cent by chance
alone. Their actual solutions are 81
per cent correct.

which they cannot trace by smell.
They are shown it, then like the chill
dren placed at different entrance.
The adult rats take the correct turn
the first time 80 per cent of the
time.
Medical treatment of certain areas
of their brain takes away this power
in the rats. It does not abolish their
power to learn or to remember. It
affects apparently only the integrative
ability used in reasoning-an ability
which psychologists think is based
on law of mass action by the brain
cells.

A mn ARBOR, Mich.-Adult rats
~ show reasoning power superior
~ to that of fve-year-old chill
a dren in laboratory experiments
at the University of Michigan.
BY reasoning power is meant the
ability to recall several separate ex-
periences and to combine them logi-
cally to solve problem.
Whether rats can reason has been
a debated question. Their possession
of this quality seems to be verified at
Michigan. not only by the nature Of
the problems solved. but by medical
tests afterward identifying the brain
tissues they used in the solution.
As these tissues are similar to those
in human brains. the animals offer
means to a better understanding Of
this highest function of the human
mind. The work at Michigan is di-
rected by Norman Maier, PhD., as
sistant professor of psychology.
For the problem of children and
rats. imagine building shaped like
a swastika. 1t is playground size. Its
interior is four tunnels crossing swas-
tika fashion, so that child, or rat, can
enter at any end and emerge at any
other end.

ATTACK ON SLUMS
HEARD At PARLEY
Housing Officials Open Ses.
sion Here-DeIano
Is Speaker.

Representatives of governmental
and private housing agencies met at
the Washington Hotel today to de-
velop methods Of attacking slum con-
ditions and Sub-standard homes
among low-income groups.
Seeking to cultivate an informed
public opinion supporting a COM
mon sense" housing program, dele
gates from all over the country ex-
changed information and ideas on
projects in their respective commu-
mites.
Frederic A. Delano, chairman of
the National. Capital Parks and Plan
ming Commission, opened the meeting
with a statement of purpose and
review of recent progress in co-ordi-
mating slum clearance and low-cost
housing activities.
However much any one Of us may
do, either as individuals or through an
Isolated organization pursuing a single
purpose" he told some 100 delegates,
"our American housing program as a
whole will never be completely effec-
tive until We are able to round out
and supplement our endeavors by CO.
operating with other housing groups
and co-ordinating our activities with
theirs"
Delano mentioned the establishment
Of the Central Housing Committee to
Coordinate all Federal agencies work.
Ing toward comprehensive and long
range program of attack on the
Nations housing problems 1t will be
OF little value to rebuild slums If new
dwellings are made too expensive to
house former occupants of slum dis
tricts. he declared.
John Ihlder, executive officer of the
District Alley Dwelling Authority,
spoke on slum reclamation as con-
trasted with slum clearance and low
rental housing as distinguished from
low-cost housing. Slum clearance. he
said, means actual abandonment of a
site and is not an easy approach to
the problem because it entails the
sacrifice of tax revenue. If all cleared
slum areas are turned into parks and
Fairgrounds, there is the problem of
where to get the revenue to support
such recreation areas when the entire
population has been transplanted else
where, Ihlder said,
Ihlder appealed for general
realization that slums are more ex-
pensive to a community than the taxes
they produce and that they breed

standards of living.
