Social Adjustment Supercedes Intelligence in World Success Says National Hygiene Report
(Seleon Ra)
**Society Services**
New York, Jan. 7—Social adjustment is more important than intelligence in getting into the world, Dr. George L. Wattles, president of the Wreathman State School of Massachusetts, indicated in a report to the National Committee for Mental Hygiene issued here.
"It is not her moral level on which the Moron stubs her toe but rather on her back of social adjustment," he wrote. "There are there thousands of Morons in our society who are unknown except for their good works! Because they are normal—they are normally to their environment, they are honest, industrious and well-paid."
"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 paths—pathological liaisons, thieves, prostitutes, ro-
Photographic Plates Substantiate Einstein in Relativity Theory
--versa, bankers-on-bank, psychophysical personalization, neurochemistry, and those suffering from lateness, brain stores, cognitive complexities, episodes of anxiety, instability, etc. It is, therefore, important that social maladjustment occurring in the absence of an adult in the open and should, as a problem, be viewed within the realm of humidic syndrome and for practical purpose, mental levels should be forgotten.
Final Pictures of 1926 Eclipse Show Diameter of Moon to Be Normal
Swarthmore, Pa., Jan. 7—Once again photograph plates, exposed at the time of a total collapse 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 dummy, crescent, coppe, which are mounted on the lunar continent, John A. Miller, director, and Dr. Rush W. Marriot, of the Spruz Observatory of Swarthmore College here, find that the sun is just as large as at 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 musical properties. As a result out of a straight line as it passed a heavy body such as the sun.
Stars can only be observed near the sun at the time of a total eclipse, but they may also appear closer together than if the sun were not there. In 1910 English astronomers actually obtained images of the sun in Brazil, and it was again verified at the Australian eclipse in 1922 by Dr. W.J. Campbell, of the L.A. Observatory.
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 in the moon's atmosphere during an eclipse forms a cinder 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 moon's atmosphere and is clearly seen during an eclipse, the light that grasps 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 months of careful measurement, Doctor Miller and Doctor Marriott have found another diameter, as it would appear from the center of the earth, to be 2001.30, with an uncertainty of less than $0.5\%$. The man's figure for this diameter, from measurements made at other times, is 2001.25 seconds with an uncertainty of less than $0.5\%$, which is much less than that expected by Professor Poor, is less than the uncertainty of each, but does not reveal where "is no measurable effect."
"It is not sufficient for our clinics to diagnose mental retardation and for our boards of education to create a culture that supports the children of low mental levels, but it is equally imperative that mental heaths should be organized in care that is appropriate to the needs so that as large a number of those children as possible may be adjusted in childhood in their environment and, life "from becoming social failures."
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 both set a plate of 65 feet long, with which the moon's diameter on the plate was about $7\frac{1}{2}$ inches, was used. The night before the eclipse one of plates was exposed on some stars, then, the next day, it fell into place, demonstrating being accurately known, gave points from which to measure the moon's diameter.

Help for Weak Students
Experiments Encourage "Poor College Rites"
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 risks" is held out as a result of an experiment in informing the curriculum of S. Jones, professor of psychology at the University of Buffalo.

Doctor Jones took 25 high school graduates who ranked with the lowest two-fifths of their high school class to join the college course to fit them to compete with other college students. They were taught how to take notes from less-than-committed reading, and tested to see how much of the material read they understood in a short time by writing compositions and drawing conceptual problems. And they heard lectures on habits, attentiveness, memory, memorizing, and choosing a vocation.
students who went into training for freshman work made distinctly better records during the first two semesters of their program. Doctors did not have the preliminary training, Doctor Jones states, in reporting his experiment in the Journal of Person-

A Freshman Date by Richard L.Harkness,c28
Since time immemorial, freshmen have been the butt of jokes, probably old, but used year after year to catch the young and innocent. There have been big jokes, little jokes, serious tricks and silly ones. This one has never failed.
"Would you like to have a date with a married woman tonight?" Her husband is out of town. I'll get you excused from study-hall. But I don't want her to be alone. The poor freshman should be fully convinced of the jokester's infamous character before the subject is broached to him. Who, put in the pledge's place, could refuse? Besides, he won't need me if Percy Marks expounded so sensationally?
"Why sure. I don't want to run into any trouble though. Let's go right away. I'll just keep running."
The two go down off Mit. Oreau through The Pines to the kingdom of late dates—the stadium. The pledge glasses behind him. He must expect an irate husband to jump out. The man has an airplane tail and is grosed with the mass of details which are to torture his companion throughout the night.
Walking along the cinder quarter-mile track, the boys meet two women secluded in the shadows of the new end. An introduction of them comes when another form suddenly joins the quartet.
"Huh! So you're the one that has been seeing my wife. You thought I was out on the road. Run before I shoot both of you." A woman's scream. The part of a villain perfectly played. The two boys sprint down the 220-yard straightaway in record time.
Bang! The upperclassman stumbles but regains his balance. Bang! Bang! He falls with a groan and calls for help from the fleeing pledge. Does he get it? No! That boy is well on the side of Potter's lake on Running, with only fear driving him, he returns to his fraternity house and breathlessly tells of the murder of his brother.
His story is met with surprise and pity for the deceased but is, for the most part, comprised of anxiety about the trial for murder of the pledge. The doorbell rings. Two men climb into the room and hold a limp, and pale. Blood runs over his face and froth comes out of his mouth. Talcum powder, catapus, and shaving soap had aided in his make-up. The man carry him into the guest room. The doctor arrives and goes into the room. The person he sees has the upperclassman had passed to his reward. Soon after, a gruff voice asks for the pledge on the 'phone. It is the police calling to substantiate the report of "a most brutal and cold-blooded murder." There is no time to explain what happened. Inquiring for the earliest train on any line to any place. The 'phone rings again. An un-

dertaking establishment is soliciting business for their "new and up-to-date funeral home." The boy is in a state of desperation. His face resembles that of a ghost.
The joke has been carried far enough and the upperclassman, his face washed and again healthy, appears from the guest room. "The dead" is greeted with an embrace from the room.
Never, during his whole college life, will the freshman live down his reputation as "4 millionaires."

The Gentle Art by Kate Dockhorn, c'28
It is a far cry from the tender days when the ox-eyed poet roamed anon through the meadows, fashioning verses over ill glays and fair-skinned maids and other phenomena of nature, to this age when verse makers meet in museums. The same dance rhymes by the basketful. Fashions and passions in self expression have waked and waked, but in spite of the unstable market, the murmuring millions are constantly swelled with recruits who disguise the same old thing with "individual style," thus hosing themselves and in public, and after all there isn't anyone else.
Take, for instance, the deserted lover. For the last few thousand years he has been expressing polite regret in the same frame of mind. Shelley says,
"And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone
I love itself shall shimmoon on
love itself shall slumber on."
And Dorothy Parker:
"As long as I have yesterday,
Go take your diamond tomorrow."
Writing in a slightly dif-
All that is necessary now is to pick your tone of voice. Mr. Shelley whispers and caresses, and Miss Parker shouts and thumbs her nose, so it is you for it. There is also an author for every frame of mind, and every turn of mind, and some that have nothing to do with mind. Mr. De La Mare, who devotes all his time to music, says something as this should be allowed to live," has voiced a great truth, applicable to a number of current selections.
And then, too, while poets were buzy discarding bayous for bathtubs, the number of readers of verse has increased to include college students and stenographers, and other persons of low tastes who may soberly appreciate, "The Ode on Intimations of Immortality," but who are much more apt to ride home on the 12:30 train out of Kansas City think
"ROUND about
"ROUND about
And ROUND about
And ROUND about I go—
-Perhaps I am a postman. No. I think
I'm feeling rather funny and I don't know
what I am."
Mr. Mile labeled that "Busy" but "Dizzy" would have done just as well.
At any rate, now that poetry has become a major sport there is no end to the things that can be done with it. If you don't have $2.50 with which to buy a book, write one. You may begin it like this, if you want to be, but you must stop something just as good when I write mine.
And August comes after July.
Santa Claus comes after midnight,
and a writer reads the Santa.
"Oh. Sunday comes after Saturday,
And a swatter comes after the fly."
