Measuring
Power of
A Child
Teachers Cannot
Rate the Genius
OF Youngster
By ANGELO PARTI.

I see by the papers that a pro-
fessor has found that teacher can
not measure child's l. Q. by judg-
ing his class work. That is not
news. The I. @. is the result of a
set test, given under set condi-
tions, with certain required ex-
periences to decide the child'S re-
Sponse. What is important in the
professors finding is that the
teachers judgment is based on what
the child does, not upon what the
test says he might do.
The usefulness of a human being
is measured by what he can do
successfully, and not by what some
body thinks he might do If he tried
hard. AS usual thing the children
with the high 1. Q.'s are successful
in school. But at either end of the
scale those who fall far below, and
those who rise far to the top, are
to be reckoned with. What about
the child who gets a genius rating.
but who cannot master the work OF
his grade? Is the I. @. to be his
standard or his ability to actually
perform his task? And the occa-
sional child who has low I. G.,
but who is able to be graduated
with his class on scheduled time?
Is he to be rated as unfit because
of his I. O., or is he to be allowed
the reward of his accomplishment?
Success in life is based on what
a man does. I believe that the same
thing holds good In school life. If
a pupil can do his work to passing
standard, he does well. If he does
not do his work to that standard,
he fails. The pupil with the low
I. @. needs help, usually, and Is able
to benefit, usually, by that help.
Everybody expects him to be helped
and his state is accepted. But the
unfortunate child who has the high
I. G., without the ability to harness
1t to work, is in sad predicament
indeed. His teacher says he is back
ward and needs help, but the sacred
record says he is genius: and it is
the school that is failing not the
child. When this happens, and it
does happen every so often, I take
the teachers Judgment and proceed
to help the child accordingly. Ex-
perience teaches me that genius
without creative power is nothing,
and is to be regarded just that way.
It is true that a teacher cannot
per cent the genius of q child. What
of 1t? Neither can a test. But the
teacher can do what is most i'm
portant In this situation. She can
answer the question that must be
answered in measuring the power Of
child to take an education. Can
this child profit by this work and
succeed in it? Because she has
lived daily with this child, seen him
try and fail, or try and succeed,
seen him in his different moods and
aspects, seen him more completely
than anybody else, save perhaps his
mother, she knows about what he is
able to do and can say so to prac-
tical accuracy.
If there were no standard tests,
no I. @. ratings, I would never worry.
I would turn to the experienced, able
teacher and ask for her judgment on
the children, when such Judgment
was needed. It Is needed less often
than one would suppose in the face
Of the batteries of tests directed at
the children's minds.

consequences, and the vanity-the
most important part-to select and
wear the new skating outfits.
1t is a comforting thought to
know these new costumes will help
immeasurably in making up for any
aches and pains you might acquire
as a result of a first attempt at
ice-skating. The very fact that you
looked smart, up to the minute,
and definitely appropriate should
make the hurt a bit less-if you
can remember back that far. Even
the fear of how silly you might
appear taking a nose dive onto the
shiny surface will be lessened by
the knowledge that your skating
outfit is right and you look pretty
snappy-if you do say so yourself.
We have no doubt that there will
be many different types of costumes
worn when all Washington adopts
this sport, but the smart gals will
investigate the approved modes
and find them unbeatable.
Our favorite model is the one
piece dress made on princess lines.
There are several styles, but two of
the most outstanding were made of
black velveteen, tightly fitted. and
with long, slim sleeves. One had
skirt lining of red printed challis
halfway up. (The object is to learn
to whirl and pirouette so that the
lining shows) The other was lined
with red plaid gingham to match
the inside of the hood. Both dresses
were zipper-equipped in bright red
and both came little above the
knees. Most outfits are about 10
to 20 inches from the floor.
The two-piece styles-consisting
of short f1ared skirts and tight fit
ting jackets-are also smart and
practical. Some of these are even
made with bit longer skirts so that
you can wear them to Office. Our
pet is the quilted black velveteen
skirt lined with bright red quilted
Iaffeta; worn with this is match
ing black jacket with novelty but
tons. Another, in plain velveteen,
has a detachable hood lined with
plaid to match the underneath side
of the skirt. Still others are done
in wool with short, very flared skirts
and tight, square shouldered jackets
some with buttons or zippers.
# you are going to do this thing
correctly, you will want proper &C
cessories. This means that you will
select a skull cap of yarn trimmed
with angora, hood of angora with
matching mittens, hoods of wool
with extending collars to keep the
back of your neck warm, mittens
of white yarn with bright Tyrolean
f1owers-all these things and many
others go to make up skating
costume that will make you rate

their attention to the use of soy
beans as food for humans.
Such use is not new. Far from it,
for the soybean has been a sustain
ing factor for many years in ORR
entail countries. There they are used
to make soybean. curd, soybean milk,
and soybean sauce-and are cooked
in countless ways to provide a nu-
tritious and cheap food for millions.
Bean shoots or sprouts have long
been an integral part Of many ORR
entail dishes-and the sprouts have
been found to be unusually rich in
food values.
X X + X
Here, in part, is what the Depart
ment Of Agriculture says:
"An analysis of the food value of
the soybean indicates reasons why
they have been a fundamental part
of the Oriental diet for thousands of
years. In nutritive value, they out
shine our common table beans. On
the average, soybeans have half
again as much protein as other
legumes, and their protein is ef-
flcient, that is, it can be used readily
by the body. They are II times as
rich in fat as other beans.
"On the other hand, soybeans con-
tain half as much carbohydrate as
others and much of this cannot be
well used by the body. Green shelled
soybeans rank with kale and squash
as one of the per cent carbohy-
drate vegetables, while the dry soy
beans count as IL per cent vege-
table.
Green soybeans are very rich in
vitamin A. vitamin frequently as
sociated with green coloring And
both the dry and green soybeans
are good sources of vitamin B, and
G (Riboflarin) And If you sprout
soybeans, after the oriental fashion.
you will have vitamin C in addition
to all other food values.
unfamiliar foods are introduced
but slowly into the diet of any
people. even among those who pride
themselves on being ready to adopt
new ideas. Plant breeders have i'm
proved old varieties and developed
new ones in their search for soy
beans with good flavor and cooking
qualities, good color, and even she'll
ing speed Food specialists have
tested some 500 varieties and many
cooking methods and recipes. They
have found about II varieties of
soybeans that make excellent table
food when properly prepared. Some
Of these are best green, others when
dry, and about half a dozen are
good either way.

night before cooking, as soaking

to climb up on the old-maid shelf.
She has missed her chance at a
husband. She has been known so
long as Jimmy's girl or Toms girl
that she has been as much out of the
matrimonial running as If she had
been married, and 1t is almost i'm
possible for her to get into circula-
ton again. There are millions Of
diSgruntled spinsters who would
have been happy wives and mothers
if they had not been so tied up
during the heyday Of their youth
and beauty with some lad with
whom they were keeping steady
company that they had no chance of
meeting eligible men who meant
business.
Also the man and woman who
have kept steady company for years
are virtually forced into marriage
by public opinion, no matter how
tired they get of each other. Sally
and John have been linked together
In the minds of all of their friends
so long and everybody has so con-
fidently expected them to marry
that they simply lack the hardwood
to refuse to do it, no matter now
much they realize that their ro-
nance has grown stale.

Good Posture
Is Essential
For Poise
An Erect Carriage
Very Important
At All Times
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

ny fAINlClA LINDSAY.
Without good posture you cannot
hope to have perfect poise. And I
mean good posture at all times
when you are walking, sitting or
doing other things. The only ex-
ception Is when you recline. 1t is
even necessary for you to keep in
good posture while you exercise, for
otherwise you are taxing some
muscles and neglecting others.
There is nothing quite so con-
ducive to woman's attractiveness
than an easy, erect carriage of
graceful movements. Men cannot
resist watching woman of poise !!
Eleanor Hansen of film fame has
supreme poise-for one so young
but she tells us she practices correct
walking every day of her life. Her
simple procedure is as follows:
Stand Gin stocking feet) with your
heels 2 or 3 inches away from a
wall but have your shoulders touch
ing it. Grow tall by pulling your
abdomen in and up and trying to
push your back waistline against
the wall. Your chest should be
high. your shoulders relaxed and
head erect.
AS you stand in that position
raise your arms In front of YOU to
shoulder level with palms facing the
floor.
Now without changing your
posture, walk forward and as you
walk, slowly drop your arms to your
sides. Keep on walking around the
room for you are now carrying your
self with new, graceful dignity.
If you can do this exercise before a
full length mirror you will be amazed
at the change in your figure. Curves
you never suspected were there re-
veal themselves, and your physical
allure has grown miraculously! Try
this every day at home and then
when you walk out of doors take
on the naughty air of a great lady
and look other pedestrians squarely
in the eyes with cool poise! Be off

Under the rules of this near love
game man has the right to monop-
olize a girls society during all the
years when she is the height of her
good looks and attractiveness and
keep all other men away from her,
but he commits himself to nothing.
He is not engaged to her. He has
filed no declaration of his intentions
of marrying her, and when he sets
tired of her, or some other girl hits
his fancy, all he has to do is just
fade out of the picture. And that's

It is announced that movement
has been started in one of our large
co-educational institutions to do
away with the provincial custom
known as keeping steady company"
Let us hope and pray that this
social innovation will take and
spread, and that soon the boys and
girls everywhere will go collegiate,
and it will be just as much the thing
to have many dates as it is to wear
sloppy socks or ride in a jalopy.
Especially should the girls get
behind this reform and push it
along because they have been the
victims of the asinine keeping
steady company custom which gives
the man all the advantages and
leaves the woman to suffer the
penalties.
