There are some interesting conclu sion in the first report of the re cently appointed official psychologist to the London county council a post which is, I believe, uniqu In this country. Mr. Cyril Burt's chief work Is in applying tests to backward chil dren In the schools to ascertain wheth er or not they are suitable for tuition in the special classc i for the mentally defective. Mr. Burt has examined over 2,000 children 100 subnormal chil dren, 200 certified mental defectives and about 1,400 normal children. The great majority of the 400 children who were presented by the teachers on the ground of mental Insufficiency were found to suffer from mere dullness, backwardness or special and limited defects rather than from mental de ficiency. Only 24 passed the medical examination for admission to a men tally defective school Mr. Burt says there is a striking disagreement as to where the line between the defective and the ordinary child is to be drawn and remarks that Bchool progress ii only a very indirect measure of men' tal ability or iie'ect His conclusion Is that there is no one definite or con stant mental characteristic in which children classed as mentally defective resemble one another and differ from ordinary children. In Intelligence, as in every other quality, they over'-.p enormously with ordinary children and are not a separate class or species, out largely simply the inefficient tail end of a more comprehensive normal group, Mr. Burt's report suggests the need of more delicate discrimination in the selection of children to be classed as mentally defective. Be car ried out an interesting Investigation to show the influence of Iobs of sleep upon school work. In one school the children were divided into two groups. One group were allowed to sleep for two hours daily in school, the other group worked in the ordinary way. It was found that among the children who were allowed to sleep those who Buffered most from lack of sleep at home game' greatly In general abil ity. In the worst cases the gain more than made up for the loss of time. Experiments of the same kind are going on, which Mr. Burt says may show that lack of sleep may be as damaging to sahool work as lack of food. London Mall. Aerial Dreadnaughts. When Mr. Tennant spoke in the house of commons recently on the large aeroplanes used by Russia, he was alluding to what is known as the Sikorsky biplane, the dreadnaught of flying machines. This biplane is the largest heavler-than-alr machine yet Invented, and can carry at least twice the load of any known aeroplane. The dead weight of the machine Is no less than three and a half tons, and it can carry a load of over a ton. Nearly half a ton of fuel and oil is carried, and when on a war recon naissance could carry a quarter of a ton of explosives, consisting perhaps of half a dozen giant bombs, each weighing 10 pounds, as compared with the one or two which aeroplanes now carry, or ten or a dozen 20-pound bombs. Although compared with a Zeppelin the Sikorsky biplane only carries about a quarter the amount of explosives, and has a much shorter range, it has the very great advan tage of being much cheaper, easier to build, less at the mercy ,of the elements, and a smaller target It was stated In 1914 that the Russian government had ordered five of these big biplanes.

Getting the money back on to the farm 1 a job muoh discussed at vari mn conventions these days: but there are one or two points that seem worth stating: Rural credits is a problem nt develoDment. not of charity, we have no downtrodden peasantry in this country, and the legal rate of interest has somewhat restricted the mortgage sharks. Getting completely rid of these fellows is Important, but it is much more important to secure in all parts of our country the best possible Investment and use oi agri cultural capital. This should not be done by the privilege method, by state aid. tax exemption, and so on. ii me American farmer can't pay his way, nobody can. The real need is better organization of the farming business by means of rural cooperative banks, which will not only do the banking for their members, but will also give them the benefits of centralized buy ing and selling. The banking will be based on the aotual known values of the neighborhood, and the trading op erations will be real and not specu lative. Alone with individual zeal and skill in farming will go a cooperative use of the farmers' business strength. Rural credits must be taken up as a nart of this larger problem of agricui- tural business organization. Collier's Weekly. When Texas Branded Thieves. Adam was the first man the very first to be indicted by a grand Jury in Houston. His name, to be more specific, was James Adam. The charge was that he stole; the indictment lar ceny. He was convicted. This was the sentence: To return to the right ful owner tie sum of $295; to be given 39 lashes on the bare back in a public place and to be branded with the let ter "T" on the back oi tne ngnt nana This all happened in Houston in the spring of 1837. The first book of rec ords was dug from a dusty shelf one afternoon recently in the Harris coun ty courthouse. O. M. Du Clos, clerk of the district court, and he who is known as the investigator into the affairs of others, did the digging. The first book of the records of the legal doings of Harris-county is a yel lowed and old thing. The first matter written in it is a statement signed by Sam Houston giving authority for the court. It announces that he has ap pointed Benjamin Franklin judge of the court. The place is given as tne town of Houston, county of Harris- burg, republic of Texas." Houston Chronicle. But He Didn't Get It. He was Scotch, all right, was Sandy MacGregor, and had mislaid his wallet containing $500 at the railway station. He telegraphed his loss to the rail way station agent, and the wallet was kept until his return, a month later. The finder, a young clerk, handed MacGregor the missing wallet and stood in an attitude of eager expecta tion. The Scot unheedingly counted his money and then looked long and suspiciously at the young clerk. "Isn't it right?" stammered the lat ter in bewilderment. "Right! Right! It's right enough," said MacGregor, "but whur's the month's interest?" National Food Magazine. He Was Learned There. "Have you learned anything in the way of business during your four years' loaf at college?" demanded the pater. "8ure,"-said Reginald. "I can write the dandiest line of dunning letters you ever saw."
