IMPROVED BY MORE SLEEP
London Schoolchildren Recently Mad
the Subject of 8ome Interest
' Ing Experiment.
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. London Times.

- Rural Credit Aaaln.
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

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

the sentence: To return to the right

39 lashes on the bare back in a public

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

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

"Humph!" ejaculated the pater.
"Who taught you that?"

John Jones.
"Johnny," she remarked, "can you
tell me what an average is?" -
"Yes, ma am, ' was the prompt re

"What?" exclaimed the amazed

rejoinder of Johnny. "Most every les
