MORON is a word so newlv coined that not ovon tho hit
ortt edition of AVobs tor's (1010) contains it.
A moron is a person whose brain ceased growing be
tween the ages of eight and thirteen, neither an imbecile
jior a normal person, but on a line between the two. True
imbeciles never become older mentally than seven, and
idiots' brains cease growth at three and under.
A moron must do a grown-nps work in the world, with
n child's brain to direct, him. Under proper conditions;
that is, oversight and direction, he can do the simple tasks
that a child can do and do them with a man's strength, and
lead a happy, care free existence. But turn the moron
loose in the world and lie is np against it. Tho world
judges mm as a man necanse no iooks n, mil no is omy a
little boy. "With the impulses of the grown, ho has the
regulation of the child, lie cannot make a living and drifts
into pauperism or crime.
Our prisons, reformatories, rescue homes, poor houses,
asylums and shims mark the tragedy of the morons in a
world nnsnited to them. When we understand them and
.recognize them, and provide for them, as we will some dav.
we will have gone a long way toward settling our social
problems.
In an article in McClure s 7nlv issue, entitled, "A
Scientific Study of Pools," Edwin T. Brewster tells of
an invention of the great French psychologist, "Biner,
called the .Binet-Simon scale for measuring intelligence
irrespective of results of training. The work was the result
of tests made upon thousands of children and adults. The
tests reveal the mental development of the subject, what
he is and probably what he will become a test of the
condition of one's brain protoplasm.
"When the brain ceases to grow, no matter at what age,
the limit of mental development has been reached. Savs
Mr. Brewster: "According to Dr. Osier, the minds of the
ablest professional men stop growing at forty. After that,
these specially original persons work and learn, but no
longer develop. It is notorious that the general run of
educated persons can not really learn a new language or
master a musical instrument much alter t went v. Their
minds "Oslerize" at about half tjio age of those of the fin
est grade. Apparently the great mass ot mankind Osler
izes between fourteen and twenty-one a fact which seems
always, in some sort, to have been recognized both in law
and custom.
"This plastic time of the mind is nerhans the most im
portant of all differences among various individuals and
aces of men. It appeal's also, now that we have an infalli
ble means of discovering the moron, that this heretofore
unrecognized type of human being is as common as argon
and radium. ,
"There is abundant reason to believe that virtually all
women of the class into which delinquents inevitably drift
arc either morons or high-grade imbeciles, who are not
fully responsible for their acts. Nearlv a third of our
criminals are morons, and at least as many of our paupers
and alcoholics, not to mention a host of unreasonable and
incompetent persons, cranks and visionaries of all sorts,
who do not seem to be able to adjust themselves to the
grown-up world, because they are too young to understand
what is for their own interests."
The author contends that in most cases these mental
defects Jire inherited, passed on from generation to genera
tion, though sometimes caused by malnutrition. "The
kind of brain that becomes old at ten and twelve, or the
kind that begins to stiffen at twenty, or the kind that
keeps its gristle well into middle age, are all definite,
inheritable "unit characters," peculiar qualities of family
stocks that pass along from parent to child."

Landscape gardening for tho small
borne nnd a suggested courso ot study
In nature study for tho grade schools
wcro two diverse points discussed in
Professor Smith's lecture on N'nturo
Study before tho University of Ore
gon Summer school.
In planning for a homo garden,
there nro a number of principles that
should bo observed, declared Profes
sor Smith. In the first place, the
planting of flowers and shrubs should
be to make a picture, not simply to
secure something growing. To en
hance tho beauty, and also to add to
convenlenco there should bo as wldo
open spaces as possible. They give
perspective to a yard.
Straight lines In walks and hedges
should be avoided, and tall plants
should he banked against walls with
the smaller ones In front.
Plants, too, may bo massed for
their color effect, oither because of
their bloom, or tho color of their
bark or becauso they hold snow In
tho winter.
-Caro should bo taken, also, in se
lecting flowers nnd shrubs that will
blossom In succession, keeping the
garden, pver frc-sh.
Hiding of unsightly objects Is
another legitimate object of tho cot
tage flower garden.
Turning to tho teaching of nalure
study In school, Professor Smith
strongly urged that oven tho first
graders bo given plants to have as
their own. Karly in their school
llfo they might begin .lessons In
testing seeds for germinating quali
ties, incidentally providing good
problems in arithmetic, ho llfo his
tory of a plant would Introduce
science, and tho question of seed dis
persal brings In geography.
By tho time tho fifth grade Is
reached tho pupil should up a study
of soils, and learn how to mix wind
and clay and humus to provldo pro
per seed beds.
In tho threo upper grades tho
pupil should begin to study tho prin
ciples of decoration In tho growing
of plants, and In this collection should
ho required to plan gardens, using
water colors to Indicate tho color
schemes.
In closing, Professor Smith urged
that Oregon pooplo use tho nntlvo
plants as far as possible In their
decorations.

NOTICE TO TAMWVKHS.
Tho sheriff's office Is sending out
notices to all taxpayers whose Per
sonal tax does not show "paid."
These notices are being sent out for
the reason that beret oforo tho asses
sor has always assessed the personal
property with tho real estate and
when real estate was paid, tho whole
tax was paid. This year, however,
the assessor has placed all tho per
sonal property lu a separate roll
apart from tho real es'tate. Many
iieonlo miy the tuxes on their renl
estate alone believing they have paid
all their taxes. For this reason a
considerable amount of Porsonnfi
Tax shows unpaid on tho Personal
Tax ltoll.
Sheriff Jones believes that In Jus
tice to the taxpayers who have In
tended to pay all their taxes, they
should be notified of their unpaid
Personnl Tax before tho delinquent
tax-list is published.
Tho notices are not a "dun" for
taxes, hut simply a notice that the
personal tax shows unpaid.
