session last week, slashed monthly

result, reduced the operating expenses

given as the reason for the action of

A WELCOME FAILURE
The intelligence tests that the ex-
perts in psychology use naturally puz-
zle the children a little. They are not
quite clear in their minds just what it
is all about, as this little story from
EveryhiKiy’s Magazine shows:
Recently in one of the public school*
on the lower East Side of New York
City the children underwent the Binet
lest. One of them, having been grad
ed as subnormal, was sent to the In-
stitute for the Feeble-minded, but,
since the directors of that institution
decided that she Mas too near normal-
ity to be suited to their methods, she
promptly returned to her old school.
Her mates, Mho thought that she had
gone permanently, were astonished to
see her, and one of them explained:
"Minnie, she went away to get ex-
amined to he an idiot, hut she didn’t
pass."
Education and the New World
The old world must and will come to an end, but it
is to come in the htiihiiiiti of h new worhl mul not by a smhitm t «tt«n lystu.
There will lie simply a revision <»r a succession of revisions until the ohl has
become new.
Education is the process of cntuiuering ones environment. The widening of
that circle should end only with life Kvery day should the worhl l»e made
