PRINCETON, Ky., Sept. 20,—Joy riding, or any other kind of riding, «the vehicle high powered motor, faby carriage, milk wagon or what not, has been barred in Princton by city ordinance between the hours of, 10 p. m. and 6 a. m. ‘he law, Which became effective this week, is aimed primarily at des- peradoes, particularly of the dyna- miting type, who have been active here of late, but it has dealt a se- vere blow to almost everybody in this little city. s ‘omplications multiplied far be- yond the expectations of the city fathers who framed the ordinance when it/came to actual enforcement Ly a corps of special policemen. ysiclans summoned on hurry calls had to do their hurrying afoot. Milk deliveries were delayed long past thelr usual hours. Persons seeking to tax! to late and carly trains missed them. Perhaps the worst suffering, how- ever, was experienced hy the young- er generation with their penchant for drives in the moonlight. ““Neck- ors’ and even the more sedate mo- torists who wanted a little evening spin, had. to complete their rides by 10 o'clock or else hie themselves out- side the city mits, there to remain until 5 in. the morning, unless they wanted to park*their care at the roadside and walk bome through town, One mother was on the verge of hysterics when her ‘daughter ar- rived on foot-at a late hour. “No, mother, he didn't make me walk,’ the daughter explained. “You see, Charlie and I didn't get to the city Mmits until aftemten.

(Copyright, 1924, Consolidated Press Assn.) . WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—Upon the outcome of a battle being waged in Washington hangs the probable fate of some 15,000,000 school children of America. Whether school children should be graded by means of psychologi- cal “intelligence tests” is the problem facing school author- ities here, and the decision is expected to be followed by hundreds of cities throughout the on the results to be had i Wash- country. Ernest Greenwood, vice ‘president of the board of education of this city, is the leading opponent of the “intelligence tests". Superintendent of Schools Frank W. Ballou heads the forces of those battling for the tests. And the 10,000 ov more school ehiidren of the city who have been placed in school classes accord: ing to thelr ability to put picture puzzles together, to remember ind to perform the tricks” that make up intelligence tests, constitute the battle ground. A year ago, Washington decided that “the. arbitrary . placement of children in classes according to their age or seeming precocity was all wrong. Miss Jessie LaSalle was employed as supervising principal of the second division, with the understanding that she proceed with intelligence tests. Since then, more than 10,000 school children have been tested and assigned to classes on the basis of her tests. Normal school grad- uates, many of them teachers them- selves, have carried on the work. jeanwWhile; the country has hung ington. The lure of something riew was appealing. The success of the rating plan would make way for the adoption of that system im all the larger cities of the country, it was understood. There would, of course, be nothing compulsory about other cities adopting it, but supposition had it that they would. Now Vice President Greenwood has declared war against the sys- tem. It is impossible, he maintains, to arbitiarily deside that because a child is unusually precocious about such matters as the stereotyped intelligence tests, he can do fifth, WANTED LADY In Casper and other towns to dis- tribute Marvelous ~Bella) Derma Cream.

On the other hand, it is unjust to conclude that child who can not per- form all the “tricks” of intelligence tests must be consigned to a lower ‘srade which takes it for granted he cannot learn histury quite well.

It would take an army of trained, experienced and high paid specialists to do the work properly, he argues, and Wash- ington and other cities of the coun- try are not ready for this—if they ever will be. Ss He maintains, however, that, jt is an excellent plan to turn the schools into laboratories to study child psy- chology, with a view to developing psychologists who might some day be qualified to give tests properly. But in the meantime, there are too many “dabblers" in the “danger- out art of judging human intelli- grence.”* Superintendent Baliou's anower is simply “the intelligence tests have been operating just one year. That there have been complaints {s not surprising. The wonder is that there have not been more of them and by that point is proved the value and workability of the idea,” Efforts have been made in a num- ber of cities to have children ready to enter school, examined and placed among children, of similar develop- ment, but school departments have been lethargic about the matter. ‘They have been waiting to see the result in Washington.
