Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Age and Learning. According to popular belief, young learn more readily than adults. ding to modern psychology, this popular belief is just another pop- ular superstition. There is no such thing as an age limit beyond which learning does not take place. Consid- ering all the factors involved, one learns as fast at 50 as at 15. Authorities do differ somewhat in their estimates about age and rate of learning. But during the last decade they have begun to agree that one is “never too old to learn,” and that all questions about rate of learning may be accounted for on the basis of in- terest and industry. ‘Where shall we look for an explana- tion of the popular superstition about and learning? Any adult, as he looks back over his years of youth, imagines that he has iived a long time. His early years reach back into a dim past. In that dim past he has only vague memories of what actually happened. He doesn't realize how rapidly he grew. As an adult, he observes young peo- ple acquiring the fundamentals of a grammar school education in what seems to him, in reference to his own &:‘pefimce, to be a surprisingly short e. 80 _he concludes that the child that he observes learns rapidly, and then he concludes again that young people learn more rapidly than old people.

Value TB!.‘ scientists are searching for a yardstick by which to measure the amount of personality that we possess, or unfortunately may bly lack. But they don't describe this quality as we lowbrows do. They it “an individual's social-stimulus value.” Why, any girl child, though & moron, could tell them how to do that. She would say: If you want to know how much magnetism a girl has, count the number of her dates. Observe how many cut-ins she has at a dance. Take note of her birthday and Christmas presents. Does she have to buy her own flowers and candy? Do boys pass up prettiar girls for her? Can she get away in the way of breaking engagements and being a g take her to places of amusement to meet other men and still hold them in line? If the answer to any and all of these questions is “yes” then a girl has personality, plus. But if she is one of the girls whose mothers have to entertain for them to get them beaus and who have to toll men to the house by feeding them: 1f whenever she goes out with a man she has to furnish the automobile and the theater tickets; if she has to remind boys of her birthday and that Christmas comes on the 25th of December this year: if every man who dances with her has to be led to the slaughter by his hostess and wears the expression of an early Christian martyr while he is doing it, and if she has to do the calling up over the telephone, then the measure of that girl's personality is zero. ‘The girl would say that if you want to find out how much magnetism a boy has, watch out and see if every girl falls for him at sight. Notice if every girl who comes near him begins to powder her nose and get busy with her lipstick and roll her eyes at him. Observe whether girls would rather ride with him in a flivver than in an expensive car with some other boy. Note whether they will turn down another date on a gamble that he may happen along. Observe if’ they just melt down like ice cream in the sun when he deigns to with stinginess, with grouches and glooms and jealousies from him. If they will, the boy rates in the hundred per cent class, but if he is only tolerated by girls because he is a good thing and a useful pack animal to convey them to places they want to go; if they love him for his automobile and dinners and suppers and presents; if he has to pay his way wherever he goes with orchids and chocolates and theater tickets, then he is & complete washout. It is as easy to get the heft of our personality as it is our weight on a to do about it? That is the question that troubles most of us. We may know we are to heavy or too light-weight socially, but how are we to thin down our bulkiness and become volatile and airy, or how are we to add the weight of charm and magnetism to our thinness? It isn’t that we lack beauty, because we all know women who are living pictures but whom nobody cares a rap about, and we know plenty of homely women over whom everybody is crazy and at whose entry into a room every face brightens. It isn't intelligence, because we all know learned ladies whose society we avoid as we would the plague, and we know other women who never saw a college, and who have never even read the six best sellers, whose babble enter- tains and amuses us and to whom we can listen for hours without yawning. It is & gift of the gods capriciously bestowed at birth upon certain lucky infants, and human ingenuity has been unable to invent any workable substi- tute for it. Invariably thcse who have tried to copy the personality of some one largely endowed have found that their synthetic charms did not work. ‘The mannerisms that make one man fascinating and original make another seem a fool. The cute little kittenish tricks of one woman make another ‘woman look like a performing elephant. And that's that. It is easy enough to measure our social-stimulus value. But altering it is something else yet again. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright. 1930, notice them.

Do you know how - Alexandre Dumas was such a lover of | many are here, no | dogs that sometimes he had more than | a dozen at his celebrated estate of Monte Cristo. He wrote 'n regard to dogs: “I think God is equally concerned with man and all the animals to whom he has given life, but tha*, perhaps, he has a special leaning toward dogs.” The most interesting of all the author's canine friends was Pritchard, a Scotch terrier He was Dumas’ most beloved pes, pecause, as he said, “he was the only dog in whom I found originality and unexpectedness, the qualities one finds in a man of genius.” M. Dumas, a fine shot, decided to have Pritchard trained for hunting. He sent him to his gamekeeper, but in an | hour the terrier escaped and returned | to_his master. Taken back and put in a 4-foot | pen, he managed, although a small dog, | to leap out. When he was tied in the pen, he gnawed his bonds and once more escaped. Being finally put in a brick outhouse, he gnawed and scraped | an cpening in the wooden door which again permitted flight. Always he went straight to Dumas, whom he did not suspect of being the author of his imprisonment. | Dumas and the gamekeeper now took Pritchard to the woods on a leash.

It is their way of showing off. It is easy to detect that sort of difficulty. The child begins to talk when strangers are about, or when there is a chance of an un- usual audience. That is & bid for more sympathetic attention from the family; a chance to shine. Build up the child’s general health, try to keep him with children who are healthy and active, raise him for good deeds and teach the virtue of being a good listener. Sometimes fatigue will make a child talk endlessly. The nerves that should register fatigue have gone off duty, too weary to do any more work. The child cannot stop himself now. He talks on and on until sleep overtakes him. If your child has such a characteristic he must be guarded against fatigue. It will not do to let him play until he stops of his own accord.
