Social Adjustment Supercedes Intelligence in World Success Says National Hygiene Report
(Selene Sevyleak)
**Society Survival**
New York, Jan. 7—Social adjustment is more important than intelligence in getting along in the world. Dr. George L. Walsh, superintendent of the Wrentham State of Massachusetts, indicated in a report to the National Committee for Mental Hygiene issued here.
"It is not her mental level on which the Moron stubs her toe but rather on her back of social adjustment," he added. "We are there thousands of Morons in the world, and they are unknown except for their good works? Because they are normal—they react normally to their environment, and do honest, industrious and well-poled."
"Who are the Morons who are making the trouble in the community? They are exactly the same classes who are making the trouble on the higher mental levels—ontological lais, thieves, prostitutes, rovers, bunkers-on, psychophysical personalities, neuroachtices, and those suffering from hiatus, brain storms, schizophrenia, memory loss, episodes, emotional instability, etc. It is, therefore, important that social maladjustment occurring in the workplace be seen out in the open and should, as a problem, be viewed within the realm of practical mental health and for practical mental levels should be forgotten.
Photographic Plates Substantiate Einstein in Relativity Theory
Final Pictures of 1926 Eclipse Show Diameter of Moon to Be Normal
Swarthmore, Pa., Jan. 7—Once again picture plates, exposed at the time of a total eclipse of the sun, help to substantiate the theory of relativity, as proposed by Einstein. This time it is the moon's diameter which is being measured. On plates made at the January, 1662, eclipse which was observed in May 1984 by John A. Müller, director, and Dr. Ross W. Marriot, of the Squawthorne College here, find that the moon is just as large as all other itmes.
One of the possible experimental tests of Einstein's theory, announced in 1915, was on account of the fact that he considered light to have mass. This would result in its being pushed out of the optical spectrum by a heavy body such as the sun.
Stars can only be observed near the sun at the time of a total eclipse. At such a time the stars around the sun were not there, but than if the sun were not there. In 1919 English astronomers actually calculated the orbits of some of the stars in Brazil, and it was again verified at the Australian eclipse in 1929 by Dr. Clyde Campbell, of the L.L. Observatory.
Another possible cause of this shift of star images on eclipse plates than given by Einstein was proposed by Prof. Charles Lane Poor, of Columbia University. He pointed out that the earth's atmosphere during an eclipse forms a coeur of cooler air. The observers are inside and as the light from the stars has to enter the cone, it might be deflected in the inner disk and it is clearly seen during an eclipse, the light that gruses it should be similarly affected, stated Professor Poor. This would mean that the moon's diameter, as measured on eclipse plates, should be less than the character of the moon at other times.
After unsuccessful attempts to make satisfactory plates at the eclipses in Mexico in 1923 and in New England in 1922, Doctor Miller and Doctor Marriott both studied the moon's diameter, with which the moon's diameter on the plate was about 715 inches, was used. The night before the eclipse one of plates was exposed on some stars, then the next day, the same plates were being accurately known, gave points from which to measure the moon's diameter.
After months of careful measurement, Doctor Miller and Doctor Martinez have found that the diameter of a cylinder, as it would appear from the center of the earth, to be 2001.20, with an uncertainty of only 1.4%. A figure for this diameter, from measurements made at other times, is 2001.35 seconds with an uncertainty of 0.15 seconds, which is much less than that expected by Professor Poor, is less than the uncertainty of each. Doctors Martinez found where "it is the measurable effect."
"It is not sufficient for our clinics to digonege mental retraction and for our boards of education to create guidelines for the children of low mental levels, but it is equally imperative that mental hygiene should be organized in conjunction with physical health so that as large a number of children as possible may be adjusted in childhood to their environment and, moreover, to their life from becoming social failures."
In Society
Sigma Alpha Epiphan hold a formal dinner at Wiedemann's Ten Room Friday evening at 6 o'clock, followed by a 1 o'clock party at the chapter house. Music for dancing was turquoise and red, decorations were in red and silver, and colored lights. The chaperones were Mrs. Gerritrade Swatttil, Mrs. Anne P. Young, Mrs. L. C. Hurry, and Mrs. James Mullan, and the guests were Vargel Secere and Richard Allen, Toneka, and Mr. and Mrs. Edell Wadowlin, Hutchinson.
Abba Gunna Delta gave a party at its chapter house from 9 to 12 Saturday night. The house was attracting guests and staff for the direction of Ward's conservatory. Sid Reynolds' orchestra played for the dancing. Chippewas were Mrs. O, D Loe, Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. Havelbovil, Mrs. Stuart, and Mrs. Coffey out-of-town included Ms. Armie Miller, Miss Betty Phew, Miss Manar Hurd, Miss Ruth Richardson, and Miss Elizabeth Knopr, Kannas and Miss Grace Stafford Hawthwaite.
Indians Excel in Rhythm
In Pitch and Memory They Are Inferior to Whites
(Science Service)
Columbia, Ohio, Jan. 7- Do Indian children have especial musical ability, may racial heritage from their town, or are born in the United States? Tests of musical ability which have been given to white children have also been tried on 350 Indian children in New York and Mississippi; Mrs EachelABEL, of the University of Denver, reported today to the American Psychological Association, that Indian children excelled the white children in some tests.
In pitch and安慰 the Italian in
pitch, she said, "You're the best of
them. In the rhythm the Italian children
were slightly better than the white,
but not enough to be called a racial
category."
In their sense of time the Indian boys were much better than the white children, while the Indian girls were worse. This might be explained, she added, on the basis of training because the Indians are the active part in the ceremonial dances, in intensity and consonance the Indian children rated about the same as the white ones.

Experiments Encourage "Poor College Student"
This is not a legal document. It is a statement of intent to sell the property for $10,000,000.
Buffalo, Jan., *I- Hope for students who are anxious to go through college even though they are* labeled by intelligence tests and high school grades as "poor college risk" is hold out as a result of an experience in interpersonal settings. S. J. Jones, professor of psychology at the University of Buffalo.
Doctor Jones took 52 high school graduates who ranked with the lowest two-fifths of their high school class and trained them to course to fit them to compete with other college students. They were taught how to take notes from lectures, rehearsing, and tested to see how much of the material read they understood and remembered. They practiced reading and pronunciation. They examined chemical problems. And they heard lectures on habits, attentioniveness, memory, memorizing, and closing a vocation.
Students who went into training for freshman work made distinctly better records at the first two semesters, but did not have the preliminary training. Doctor Jones states, in reporting his experiment in the Journal of Personality Research.
At Tinkkawalving only eight of the 42 were warned of failure in two months, and there was a smaller number of the group 650 higher than in the first semester. This is considered particularly uncomfortable "with other students there has been found no significant difference in average grades from one student to another."
All but two of the students who had the precollege coaching course improved in ratings on an intelligence tests, Doctor Jones reports. This is attribution largely to their intensive practice in rapid reading, in understanding directions, forming attention and talking about work in an orderly manner.

ley will not be skimmed.
Margaret Whitehall c28 shipped on the storm of Cronin Hall Friday morning and was taken to the stairway. She wore a black hat, something better laterday morning. Miss Whitehall is the second person who has been seriously injured on the storm of Cronin hall and a number of others. The weather had brushed from falls on these steps.
The debate close will hold its main clear decision of the committee this week is to approve a $10 million Washington and Bureau for the negative and Mont and Bonds for the affirmative. The question is "How much capital punishment be enabled?"

Only suits with this tag are Valeteria pressed!
Valeteria
This garment has been pressed and shaped by the Valeteria Method
ONLY our Valeteria shop can give you Valeteria pressing, and we attach a Valeteria tag to every suit we press. A suit without this tag is not Valeteria pressed.
The effect of pressing with an ordinary flatiatron may not be apparent the first few times—the suit looses its shape gradually.
But a suit pressed regularly by our Valetaria method keeps its shape permanently, because we restore the shape with every pressing. That's the big new feature of the Valetaria method—we actually shape the garment.
You'll find a Valeteria tag on every suit we press. Let us send for your suit and you'll find the worth of this service.
Each part of your suit is specially pressed and shaped, exactly as was ones when it was made.
