tests show rats r e intelligent adult rats iwceed children of five years in reason ing ability ann ar1iou mich adult rats exceed in reasoning ability children up to 5 or g years old it is shown by tests made at the university of mich igan by dr n r f maier ot the psy chology department the primary object or the experi ments was to determine when child ren first begin to show ability to rea son that is to work out problems by bringing together mentally separate items out of their experience this combining of isolated experiences is tho main difference between reason ing and simple learning dr maier points out in children mental activity which may bo described fairly as reasoning seldom appears before the ago of five and a half or six years a child has learned much before then but he is seldom able to use his knowledge in new ways to solve a problem reasoning in rats is tested by their ability to put together parts of a path way which have been learned separ ately adult rats will make a score of so per cent and young rats a score of ci i per cent dr maier found with 39 children ranging in age from 3 to s years dr maier used a problem situation similar to that used for the rats pennies or desired toys were used as stimuli and the children greatly enjoyed trying to find the correct path dr maier re ports despite their enthusiasm the chil dren as a whole only made 5s per cent correct scores not until tho average age of 70 months was reached did the correct responses reach 5s per cent it is pro bably between 5 and 6 that tho nor mal child begins to use his head and this

quebec during the course of the past few years this renewing in peasant art is in teresting from several aspects for the peasant or farmer it constitutes an additional source of revenue and this at a time when no source of in come however small is to be dis dained it also constitutes by creat ing more work right in their homes an efficacious means of keeping on the land sons and daughters of farm ers who might otherwise be attracted by the mirage of big towns for the province it is a precious art in that it contributes towards its retaining its cachet by the production of original and typical quebec works of art which form a decided contrast with the inferior products turned out by massproduction elsewhere finally tourists in particular are greatly interested in the rugs and other examples of domestic arts produced in our country districts this revival of peasant arts got under way a little more than six years ago shortly after the found ing in quebec of a school of domestic arts by direct teachings to pupils in the school itself or by demonstrations and exhibitions in the various rural municipalities of the province this school of domestic arts has contribut ed to a great extent in reviving in terest in peasant arts and in elevat ing the quality of products the progress accomplished in this domain has resulted in beneficial ef fects for other branches or agricul tural production thus in 1935 alone the quantity of wool employed in the making of rugs quilts homespuns etc was nearly three million pounds these different products find a ready outlet in the tourist traffic tho revival of peasant arts is not limited simply to the fabrication of rugs blankets and homespuns it also includes furniture leather goods and even pottery striking examples of these
