Social Adjustment Supercedes Intelligence in World Success Says National Hygiene Report
**Services (Service)**
New York, New 7.—Social adjustment is more important than intelligence in getting along in the world Dr. George L. Wells, assistant of the Wreston State School 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 for us but rather on her lack of social adjustment," he said. "There are three thousand of Morons in the world who are unknown except for their good works? Because they are normal—they resemble normally to their environment. They are honest, industrious and well-poised."
"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—pathological thieves, prostitutes, rovers, bunches-on, psychopathic personalities, neurasthenics, and those suffering from laziness, brain storms, emotional insomnia, episodes, emotional irritability, etc. It is, therefore, important that mal-adjustment occurring in the patient be addressed in the open in and should, as a problem, be viewed within the realm of mental hygiene and for practical purposes, 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 photographic 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 of lunar material, they went to Samtura to observe, Dr. John A. Miller, director, and Dr. Ross W. Marriot, of the Sporl Observatory of Swarthmore college here, find that the moon is just as large an ct other times.
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. Einstein argued that out of a straight line it as passed 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 appear much brighter than if the sun were not there. In 1919 English astronomers actually abducted a star from Brazil, and it was again verified at the Australian eclipse in 1922 by D. W. G. Campbell, of the Lick Observa-
Another possible cause of this shift of star images on eclipse plates than that given by Einstein was proposed by Prof. Charles Lane Poor, of Columbia University, who observed the moon in the earth's atmosphere during an eclipse forms a cooler air layer. The observers are inside and as light from the stars has to enter the cone, it might be obscured or reflected. A thin edge of the moon is clearly seen during an eclipse, the light that grazes it should be similarly affected, stated Professor Poor. This would mean that the moon's diameter, in measured units, would be greater than the diameter 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 1925, Doctor Miller and Doctor Marriott used a moon's diameter of 65 feet long, with which the moon's diameter on the plate was about $7 \frac{1}{2}$ inch, was used. The night before the eclipsone of plates was exposed on some stara, then the next day on some stara, and so on, because beings being accurately known, gave points from which to measure the moon's diameter.

After month of careful measurement, Doctor Miller and Doctor Marriott have found that the diameter, as it would appear from the center of the earth, to be 2001.30, with an uncertainty of 10 millimeters in a figure for this diameter, from measurements made at other times, is 2001.35 seconds with an uncertainty of 10 millimeters in a figure for this diameter, is much less than that expected by Professor Poor, is less than the uncertainty of each, Doctor Marriott has found that there "in no measureable effect."

"It is not sufficient for our clinics to diagnose mental retardation and for our boards of education to create a culture that values the children of low mental levels, but it is equally imperative that mental hygiene should be organized in concern with these conditions so that as large a number of those children as possible may be adjusted in childhood to their environment and, as a result, they can live life from becoming social failures."

Help for Weak Students
Experiments Encourage "Poor College Risks"
Buffalo, Jan. 17.-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 held out as a result of an experiment in interest groups. S. Jones, professor of psychology at the University of Buffalo.
(Delaware Secretary)
Doctor Jones took 92 high school graduates who ranked with the lowest two-fifths of their high school class to college, and gave them a course to fit them to compete with other college students. They were taught how to take notes from lectures, read and tested to see how much of the material read they understood, wrote it on paper, wrote writing compositions and doing mathematical problems. And they heard lectures on habits, attentiveness, mental hygiene, memorizing, and choosing.
Students who went into training for freshman work made distinctly better records during the first two semesters. But their records did not have the preliminary training, Doctor Jones states, in reporting his work in the Journal of Personal Resilience.
At Thinkinggiving time only eight of the 32 were warned of failure in two subjects, and at the end of the second year all had been aged higher than in the first semester. This is considered particularly encouraging with other students there has been found no significant difference in average scores from one student to another.
All but one of the students who had the pre-counseling coaching course improved in ratings on intelligence and academic performance, and its attributes, lowest, to their highest.

over to the sleeping Blakey. His head had dropped on his shoulder, one arm was cramped pathetically against the rough cement, and his feet were in the gutter.
"Bud." Crimp shock him gently by the shoulder. "Bud. It's morning. Wake up."
Blake woke up. He was confused, for a moment, and couldn't understand why he should be stuff and cold and aching, sitting on a sidewalk down town. Then he remembered. Crimpy was chuckling, a subdued chuckle, satisfied.
"Well, I'll certainly hand it to you. Bud,
Stuck it out, you old cuss. If you aren't the ornery old fellow!" He helped him into the room, where the night restaurant where they ordered breakfast.
"I'll tell you what, Bud," he said over the bacon. "You'll never tell, and I'll never tell that you want to sleep on the deal. They'll think you were with me all the time, when you were really safe at the postoffice. You're a regular, gosh-darn it, but. I gotta hand it in. You know you're not ready. That didn't even get time to eat 5 t'clock." He laughed again and again at the recollection.
Blinkey felt rather gay himself. "And I didn't agree to go out with the girls, you know?" she said.
"You won. Boy, I'll tell the world you won!"
The railroad was in action again. Telephones rang and typewriters clicked away. But old Blakey's work was interrupted every few minutes by people who wanted "the real dope on a man." The crowd looked like skilt in Crimp's direction. Crimp, when appalled to, winked an eye and grimmed.
"Bud's a whiz bang," he told them. "Stayed out all night and isn't asleep as I am." It
"That baby's a hot one!" it was finally agreed. "Wet blanket? Him?" I should say no.
Seemingly oblivious to their praise and wondering flattery, Blakey would punch away at his typewriter, and hum, and chant, under his breath, hymns of victory.
And from that time on, when one bill clerk would say to another, "What's that funny noise? Sounds like a bull frog bellowin', Hear it?"
A new student at Wellsley college accidentally called out the fire department when she posted a letter in the fire box which she mistook for the mail box.
The other would answer, "That? Why? That's just the old night owl, Whitneypoof, the most hard-holled bird in the country. You have a bird, you know, Say, did ya hear about the time, ...?"
The worm, wooden steps behind Marvin竿 lead into an enchanted country. Descending them, one finds the noise and hurry of the highway is left behind, and Pine Walk cuts across it. The branches interlace, filtering the sunshine which falls in patches on the thick carpet of brown pine needles. The air is heavy with the odor of the pines, and, although the tops of the trees are wind twisted, close to the ground there is no wind and the quiet is almost breathless.
Pine Walk
TODAY'S JOY, TODAY
I would rather have one little rose From the garden of a friend Than to have the choosiest flowers
When my stay on earth must end.
I would rather have the kindest words
And a smile that I can see
Than flattery when my heart is still And this life has ceased to be.
All this life has ceased to be
I would rather have a loving smile
From friends I know are true Than tears shed around my casket
Than tears shed around my casket
When this world I bid adieu.
Bring me all the flowers today;
Bring me all the flowers today;
Whether pink, white or red;
Whether pink, white or red;
I'd rather have one blossom now than A truck load when I am dead.

Fraternities Banned at K. U.
"No more new fraternity chapters are to be installed at the University of Kansas!" Impossible, you say. But the proposition is neither as foolish nor as impossible as it might seem at first glance. In fact, in the fall of 1911, according to the old files of the Kansan, the Pan-Hellenic council passed just such a rule.
The fraternity men were greatly astonished at this new ruling, the story says. After the action of the Pan-Hellenic council, they had been instructed to move the supreme on the Hill. The non-fraternity men, who had attempted to organize new groups for some time, immediately renewed efforts. "A sudden increase in the number of Greek members in the council was at once on Mt. Oread," the article concludes.
B. Johnson.
The Board of Regents met a short time after the ruling was made, however, and rescinded the regulation. "Open house" for new officers will be to be held on Mt. Oreden, it was announced.
That the prediction was correct is shown by the fact that ten national social fraternities and eight national social sororites have rallied at charterers at K. U. since the ruling was made.
Consists not in the multitude of friends. But in the worth and choice.
True happiness.

It is sometimes true that the worse wage a person gets, the worse wage he is in a position to get.
Joseph was the first food speculator. He did a real service for the Egyptians by holding their wheat until they wanted it.
The insiders on the stock market make money. And if they make money—who loses? Why the outsiders, of course. The insiders don't get their gains from Heaven.
The surprising thing is not that books are stolen out of the library; but that so few are stolen. Student honesty is really very high.
Kansas City is partly run by business men from Lawrence—men who outgrew their capacity here and moved to the bigger city.
Honesty is the best policy—unless you can get away with something else.
A house has the same purpose as a beef-stack. Both are made to enjoy. Only the house is used.

When a building is erected in New York, engineers have to calculate on balance. If one building is too heavy, it will crowd the others up.
If New York had an earthquake and the people tried to get out on Wall street all at once, they'd be standing three deep on the sidewalk.
In two years, New York increases the size of Kansas City. The more people there are, the more people come. Now Eudora couldn't grow like that.
I once knew a Columbia professor who went to Harvard just so that he could occasionally walk on green grass.
The pioneers worked had forty years, for nothing. But since the government gave them its free land, they thought they got something for nothing.
I don't know when 4:30 a. m. is, but I know that's the time when the average farm wife got her job.
Politically, it is a meritorious thing to be mother. Children are potential soldiers. But when you feel like someone else, it's not politic.
A child who buys candy time after time even though he gets sick, isn't so foolish. To be hungry for candy for a week is a great deal better better have a stomach ache now and then.
