Children who are suecessful in school are termed bright, diligent, good. The cards are called cither lazy or dull. children who bring home poor report In both of these groups fall children of the most varied type, and if we give them closer attention we find that there are almost ag many causes of success ‘and failure in school as there are pupilsâ€"and teachers, for that matter. . 95 A study of some 1,500 school childâ€" ren in Wilkesâ€"Barre, Pa., brought out some interesting facts concerning school success and failure in relation to results of intelligence testing. There were three groups of children who were subjected to study: The ones conâ€" sidered very bright in school, the ones considered dull and a control group of children, who were termed average by their teachers. § What, then, are the aualities which make for academic sucgf}ss?; Expertâ€" ness in the usg of the EnsNSK Jangâ€" uage for one. Ounly a Child who ansâ€" wers questions prompt!y, clearly, and is possessed of a good Yocabulary fits into the machine of MASS education. The general ability of such a child is easily ,oqurestimated. Twentyâ€"fivre per Bent. of the children who were reportâ€" ed as bright were in reality only of average mentality, but were quick in speech. _ . _ â€"â€"_ : All these children were given group, individual and nonâ€"language intelliâ€" gence tests. They were studied from the point of view of their appearance, speech and social reactions,. | â€" Results of Nonâ€"language Tests The intelligence of every child was judged on the basis of results in all three tests: ~Group and individual, tests, which called for skill in the use of Ianguage, and the nonâ€"laDgnuage test. The results were striking. Only 4% per cent. of the children who werk reâ€" ported as dull were found. mentally deâ€"| fective. On the other hand, of thosel rated as "bright" by the teachers only 45 per cent were above average in inâ€"‘ telligence. Fiftyâ€"three per cent. of | those whose success in school j ork | was average rated also average on the | intelligence test. $4 ‘ From these statistics it is ex;t}ent that the rating of pupils in school is even a moreunreliable criterion of real intelligence than was COMMODly gusâ€" pected. at P . _ _ _ Children Mass Education Weighed By Joseph Millfr 4 s Director of CGuidance, City Schools of Wilkesâ€"Barre, Pa. One of the chief handicaps of mass production in any field is the fact that it gives satisfactory results only when ~given material of a set type. Therefore the chief beneficiaries of the public school education are childâ€" ren who have certain specific abilitics and whose personalities are of a cerâ€" tain type, which lends itself readily to mass education. ‘ _ When intelligence tests were given in which no languago was used there were almost as many. high ratings among the "‘dull" as among the Verdict, Aftefamfiments, is That Present Methods Are Not Fair to _On New Year‘s night, the Canadian National Railway system, first railway in the world to equip its trains with radio and to buid up. a chain of broadâ€" casting â€" stations, celebrated _ the seventh anniversary of itd service to thousands of unseen listeners.

F. Spanuer, British marine architect and engineâ€" er, recently insisted before the Northâ€" East Coast Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders at Newcastle, Engâ€" land, with a number of narrow stairâ€" ways which even relatively feeble passengers still can climb no matter how the vessel may be tilted. Modâ€" ern passenger ships are. equipped, Mr. Spanner pointed out, with ample "bright.". Thirtyâ€"five per cent. of the ‘children who were unsuccessful in school had average mentalities, but were.slow in speech, Some of them had speech defects. They couldâ€"not. fit into the machiné om mass producâ€" tion. _ Foreignâ€"born parents who could not speak English were found to be a handicap to their children‘s success in school. The percentages of childâ€" ren listed as "bright" and those listed as "dull," whose families speak Engâ€" lish, a foreign tongue or a mixture of both, are given in the following table: "Bright" groupâ€"English, 68%; Fofâ€" eign, 9%; Mixed, 23%. ‘"Dullâ€" group â€"English, 33%; Foreign, 32%; Mixed, 35%. & Narrow Stairways Are Urged 4s . For Safety on Board Ship A wellâ€"behaved child is also. often overestimated by the teachers, whereâ€" as the rascal does not receive proper credit for his work because he is disâ€" turbing the smooth flow of classroom instruction. > Of course a child who is absent freâ€" quently does poor work, and conse quently is often classed as "dull," even though his abilities are good. Physical defects are another cause of failure in school. Whereas there are some successful children with enâ€" larged tonsils=and adenoids, with bad teeth, poor vision or poor hear)ing, the number of "dull" children with such defects is 100 per cent. greater. Value of Pleasing Looks The main asset for the sehool child was found to be a factor which is an asset in all phases of life for adults and childrenâ€"namely, a pleasant perâ€" sonality. Most of the children whose intelligence was overestimated by the teachers were pleasant, hardâ€"working youngsters, with rosy cheeks and wellâ€" kept bhair. On the other hand those youngsters who were underâ€"estimated were shy or surly, unattractive, dirty, :vith unkempt bair and poor complexâ€" ons. ; P * The home environment is, of course, of paramount importance for the deâ€" velopment of the child‘s personality, and consequently has also a great deal to do with his succéess in school. The position of the child in the family is important, for instance. From this study it appears that the only child, the oldest child and the youngest child have the fairest chances to succeed in school. We know from other studies that middle children are likely to de velop retiring dispositions and to show the signs of lack of individual attenâ€" tion. These signs seem to show even in the school work. Individual attenâ€" Sir Henry W. Thornton, Chairman and President of the Railway, deliverâ€" ed a short address, and W. D. Robb, Viceâ€"Prosident, (who has jurisdiction over the radio activities of the system as welHl as over other departments, spoke briefly in French. t tions from one eard of Canada to the other. The orchestra was conducted by J. J.

But too little thought has been given, he urged, to arrangements for getting the passengers to the boat deck easily and qguickly in case of accident. Theâ€"wide st. rways beâ€" ing virtually unclimable when tilted, members of the crew must carry many passengers up from the lower decks when all crew members are urgently needed . elsewhere. Thoroughgoing study of the problems of disembarkâ€" ing ships‘ passengers in an emergency probably would indicate also, Mr. Spanner believes, need> of some arâ€" rangement for getting boats away from some of the lower decks as well as from the topâ€"most one. This statement is also borne out by the fact that the "smaller familiesâ€" those ~with one to three childrenâ€" contain 60 per cent. of the bright children, and only 26 per cent, of the dull children, while large familiesâ€" with seven to fifteen childrenâ€"boast of only 12 per cent. of the successful puplis. , [ s Other unfavorable home conditions, such as broken homes, working mothâ€" ers, frequent moving and so on, do not seem to have as detrimental an effect on success in school work as might be supposed. No noticeable relationâ€" ship was found between these factors and poor school work,. Experiments have been conducted heretofore in which the same group tests were given to large and to small groups of children. The results did not differ appreciably, ‘This has been cited as an argument to prove that to most children group instruction is of as much benefit as individual attenâ€" tion. _ In the study on which this article is based a different method was tried.‘ A test was administered to the childâ€" ren in a group and then each child took the same test individually. Only 66 per cent. of the "bright" children, but 90 per cent. of the "dull" children improved in the individual performâ€" ance. Only 5 per cent. of the "bright" children and put 20 per cent. of the "dull" «children improved as much as 100 per cent. over their gr0u® performance. _ § TBis brings us to th?8 conclusion that some 75 per cent. 0f all the school children would be gredtly benefitted if the present system of,group educaâ€" tion could be modified by some indiâ€" vidual instruction, individual attention to each student‘s needs; furthermore, that some 14 per cent. of children are, under the system of mass production, misjudged, deprived of selfâ€"confidence and thwarted in their mental developâ€" ment. As the situation stands at present, a remedy might be found in coaching teachers, who would assist individualâ€" ly those children who would be failing in spite of an average or ‘higher inâ€" telligence rating on individual mental tests.

Gagnier. _ Success of Small Families The Conclusions To follow the growth of aâ€"great corâ€" poration from its early days of strugâ€" gle to the attainment of fame as the: world‘s greatest privatelyâ€"owned transâ€" portation system has been the lot of George T. Coleman, recently appointâ€" ed to the post of superintendent of transportation of eastern lines of the Canadian Pacific Railway, with headâ€" quarters in Montreal.. Born in 1875 at Carleton Place, Ont., then, as now, the' junction of the Ottawa and Brockville lines, he grew up watching switching operations in the local yards, and in 1893 joined the company‘s service as agent and operator on ‘the Lake Su’i perior Division and travelled from coast to coast in the performance of his duties in the ensuing years. Thus, he was stationed at North Bay, Carleâ€" ton Place, Sudbury, Revelstoke, Schreiber, White River, and Chapleau. From 1911 to 1916 he was at Moose Jaw, and in January, 1916, was moved ito Toronto as car service agent, comâ€" ing to Montreal in 1918 as inspector of transportation, from which appointâ€" ment he is promoted to his present position. more fiexibility is needed in the sysâ€" tem of public education of the future. Figures prove that the cry so often heard in recent years: "Make the school fit the child" is not merely a notion of the sentimental extremest, but the expression of a most urgent need. It is most unfair, and from the point of view of human society most unwise, to make human waste out of all children who do not readilyâ€" submit to standardization.. To ~do justice to all his abilities, almost every child is in need of more individual attention, more consideration for his individual needs than the present system proâ€" vides. Unless we see to it that he gets what he needs we cannot expect him to grow up to be a selfâ€"confident, hapâ€" py. human being, in harmony with himâ€" self and the world. * Mexicians Like Sweets Also Favor Perfume Mexico City.â€"Mexicans are so fond of their sweets that is almost imposâ€" sible to buy cigarettes which have not been so sweetened that they leave a sugary taste on the lips. To vary their smokes they sometimes flavor the paper wrappings with cinnamon. Coffee is also roasted with sugar and drunk very â€"sweet. On. every street corner are sold candies, most of which are made of burnt sugar, nuts and coconut, and little boxes of caramel, which one eats by breakâ€" ing off a piece of the lid of the box to make a spoon. There are chocolate shops where the chocolate is mashed out before your eyes, mixed with vanilla and granulated sugar and sold in black cakes. The candy has a coarse taste and has a strong smell. ‘"Pulquo also testifies to the Mexiâ€" can craving for sugar, only in this case it is in the form of alcohol. This drink has been a problem since Aztec days. Every Indian who had a maguey plant in his garden plot could make the drink easily, and did so with elaborate religious ceremonies. In spite of the ceremonies, it was reeâ€" ognized as a bad habit even then. Legend has it that the great ruler, Quetzacoatl, was a wise and strong King until a wicked magician cast a spell over him, causing him to become drunk on pulque. Pulque is sold for 6 cents a quart, and is a thickish liquid which looks like the barley water which is sold on street corners.â€" It is sticky and saplike, smells a little like burnt rubber and does not seem to be much stronger than beer. But theâ€"Indians, it is said, drink it by the gailon, and its effect is stupefying. . The colored waters sold on the streets are also very popular. Usualâ€" ly the stand has the Mexican colors in liquids: red being strawherry, white, barley water, and green, limeâ€" ade. Almost as great as their love for eweets is the Mexican love of perâ€" fume. There are perfumery shops everywhere, where one brings bottles and chooses one‘s scent,. On the shelves are cans of perfumes with spigots, labeled "Heliotropo," "Vioâ€" leta," "Rosas," "Lilas," not to speak of the "Heart of Juanita." Mon as well as women throng the shops, hold out the backs of their hands for samâ€" ples to be rubbed on and presont their bottles for a quarter‘s worth of perâ€" fume. f Grew Up With Railway ISSUE.

The Department of Agriculture sees in the discovery not only an important new industry, but a gratifying outlet for the sugar cane surplus. 3 Produces Champagne With Sugar Cane Base The discoverer of the new beverâ€" age is Leon Blasco, a native of the Basque country in Spain. The new champagne, made entirely without grapes, is a clear amber fluid, live as French champagne, and with a bouquet to match. : Blasco came to Cuba three years ago and was promptly impressed by the fact that, while Cuba‘ consumes great quantities of wine, she proâ€" duces nothing nearer than rum. He experimented with cane and three minor vegetables and manufactured what he calls sugarâ€"cane champagne. What may be of special interest to prohibition America is the fact that Blasco can effectively. control the alcoholic content of the wine. While oneâ€"half of 1 per cent thampagne would be ~of small importance. to Cuba, the new drink is . delicious enough to appeal to the millions of soft drink consumers in the United States.
