II you're the kind of chap who
hates to have a political argument
on a social evening, then why in
the name Of sense do you wear a
political candidates button on your
lapel? I can't figure it out
I DON'T mind your brazenly an
nouncing your political affiliations.
But a person with a party emblem
prominently displayed upon his ap-
parel, always looks to me like good
fodder for an argument. No matter
what side I'm on, my inclination is
to take the side he obviously isn't
on
But every once in awhile I run
across some one who looks dismayed
at my attitude and reprimands me
by saying that he never discusses
politics on social evening.
Well, we've got from now until
November to argue or to curb our
arguments. And I'm merely an
nourcing. here and now, that those
who don't want to argue with me,
had better not wear buttons. I'll
promise not to argue with a nom
button wearer on social evening,
If he'll promise not to wear his
button on social evening.
That's fair enough.

Not Good to
Label Any
Child
|. Q. Rating May
Be Dangerously
Misleading
By ANGELO PATRI.

An I. @. can be useful tool in
the hands of the expert psychologist
and teacher. 1t can be dangerous
nuisance if it is handled by an anna
teur. Only the skilled, thoroughly
trained specialist should attempt to
take the I. @. of any child and only
the trained teacher should make use
of it.
At it's best the l. @. is an indica-
ton of the state of the child's
mental powers, in the tested fields,
at certain hour on a certain day,
under certain conditions. To make
sure that it is accurate it should be
taken several times under as close
a likeness to the conditions Of the
original test as possible.
After it has been found, what
then? If you will take my word for
it, put it aside, go ahead as if you
had never taken it and wait to see
how the child heads up. Don't let
it make you do anything drastic
about the education or management
of the child until you have taken
the test three times and have worked
with the child under ordinary con-
ditions for year. If after that the
child's behavior justifies the I. @.
change his courses to meet his ap-
parent needs.
Children grow and in growing
change, for which we are truly
thankful 1t is not well to despair
of a child because he has a low
I. Q. until time and experience
verifles the rating. A feeble minded
childs I. @. will not change much
year after year. But a child who is
retarded by deprivation will improve
when the deprivation is removed.
I mean by this that a child who
was born normal-minded, but who
lived under conditions that did not
stimulate his growth, offered no ex-
periences to develop his mind, would
be backward and his I. @. would be
low. Give that child better
chance, give him a better home, q
better school and he will improve.
There are so many factors in the
growth OF a child that no mark can
cover. We must be on guard to pro-
tect children from any blanket
scheme of education. They are in
dividuals and need individual train
ing. II they develop evenly we
might classify them at certain stages
OF their growth and teach them in
groups with success. But no two
develop the same time and in the
same way. We have children who
are born to be dull, slow, fast, back
ward, intelligent, geniuses and
feeble-minded.
We can soon select the genius
and the feeble of mind, but the great
group in between gives us all we
can do to get them to the stage of
perfection that their endowments
promise. We never know how far
a child can drive line of develop
ment. 1t may be a very short line,
it may be long and deep line that
leads to genius. We can only teach
to make the most of what the child
has, strong in the faith that he has
much more than ever he or his
teachers imagine.
The I. @. is useful tool in the
hands Of the expert. 1t is a mis-
leading and consequently danger
Gus symbol in the hands Of the in
expert and uniformed. No good
ever comes Of labelling a child. He
is likely to do his best to live down
or up to that label and as it is
usually a mistake the result is a
failure.

1t can't be done. And that is
the bitterness for the woman as
we'll as the man. The wife would
gladly 60 back to the old love if
she could, but that is impossible.
The fire has burned out on the

ing with a very difficult problem
They know how often wild young
drivers smash themselves and their
cars all over the landscape. They
realize that side roads are filled
with cars stopped for petting par
ties. And they are aware of the
fact that many of the dine-and-
dance spots and roadside joints at
which young motorists stop are lit
tie better than dives.
So they have found simple way
of dealing with the problem by for
bidding you TO ride in cars at all
We can't blame them a whole lot,
under the circumstances, but We
don't think this is the best solution
to the problem.
We're inclined to agree with your
point of view: That if boy can be
trusted TO take you out at all, he
can be trusted to drive you in a
car far enough to get you to and
from the movies or a party. We're
entirely with your parents, how
ever. in not allowing you to GO
dashing wildly around the country
with one boy, or a crowd, in an
automobile.
AS far as actual driving is con-
cerned, plenty of teen-age boys are
excellent drivers. We think you'd
be safe if you confined your riding
to that made necessary by your
transportation problem, and prom
ised not to do any joy-riding. II
boy agreed TO that arrangement,
and stuck to his agreement, he'd be
fellow in whom you could place
your confidence.
This would make it unnecessary
for you to hurt boys feelings by
refusing to ride in his car. Most
fellows, you know, are very proud
Of the fact that they can call on
you in an automobile It's an awful
blow to them TO have to leave the
car behind and take you out some
where on bus.
Our attitude on this automobile
riding question is the same as it
is on most angles of the relations
between parents and their 'teen-age
sons and daughters. The goal of
all parents who have their chill
dren's best interests at heart Is to
train those children to stand on
their own feet, take their own places
in the world, make their own deci-
sions and solve their own problems
through ther own sound judgment
Automobiles are dangerous, but so
are countless other things with
which human beings must learn to
deal. And the danger lies not in
these things themselves. but in the
individuals inability to handle them
safely and intelligently.
"Teen-agers must be helped and
encouraged and counseled to deal
with their problems as they arise.
And therein lies the great respon-
sibility and the great opportunity

young people from danger doesn't
work. They can't be shielded for
ever; and even if they could, the
result would be deplorable.
The world is already too full Of
incompetent. maladjusted men and
women who can't meet their adult
problems, simply because they never

Answer-Alas, no. You can no
more bring back the beauty and the
glamour the faith and trust of love
once they have been destroyed than
you can breathe the breath Of life
into a corpse. Once wife knows
that her husband has betrayed her.
that he has lied to her and deceived
her and put another woman in her
place. she may go on having an af-
lection for him. but she never be-
lieves in him again. She never sees
him again as the hero of her girlish
dreams She never loves him
wholly again And he can no more
rouse in her heart the love she once
gave him than he could summon
dead woman from her tomb.
Your husband is following the
common pattern of the philan-
derer. He has got old and tired
of playing around with other
women. The chase has lost its
allure.
Perhaps he realizes that he is
growing paunchy and bald and is
not such a devil among the girls
as he used to be. Perhaps a seat
by warm and steady fire begins
to look better to his rheumatic
knees than galavanting around
night clubs. Anyway, he is coming
back to home and mother.
The irony of it and the tragedy
of it is that he expects to take up
the old love where he laid it down
and for his wife to be able to love
and trust him with the same blind
faith she gave him before he had
deceived her. He has flouted her
and insulted her with his affairs.
He has neglected her and hui
inflated her and tortured her with
Jealousy. He has hurt her in a

To prevent pears from discolor-
