SHITH SAYSHE IS NOT WORRIED N Is Thinking Only. of Present, Not 1924 New York, Nov. 0.~—Alfred E, Smith i giving his attention to the idea of making good in his new job of gov- ernor and is not bethering with what his political friends are saying about possibilities in 1924, This was the answer received by those who told the goyernor-elect yes- terday that his phenomenal plurality had made him an outstanding figure, not to be ignored when it came to se- lecting presidential candidates two years hence, Told that some demo- Smtic leaders in other states had al- rfdy expressed themselves on this Bubject, Smith retorted: Big Job Ahead’ of Him, “T"am that. There is a big job ahead of me in the State of New York and I have got to make good. These opinions are all very nice, but I'm not think- iog or talking about that matter," What he was bothering a good deal more about was the complexion of the legislature he will have to deal with next winter in order to carry ot hls'h platform pledges, “I am going to take a lot of time to think it out,” the governor-elect sald, when asked about his program on transit, public utilities and the possible repehl of the Mnullan-Gage act. “I shall have nothing to say about any of these matters until I have had a chance to think them out well and carefully.” If he had a clear democratic ma- Jority in both branches of the legis- lature it would be a simple thing for the new governor to put through a legislative program which would carry out his spéeches, giving cities control over their own public utilities, ineluding the power to bulld and operate their own transit lines.

Let us pull together and we are sure to make good.," To every democratie leader state, he sent the following: “Cordial and hearty congratula- tions, Your and your assoclates' good work ' s sincerely and deeply appre- clated.” Surprised at Size of Victory, Even Smith was surprised at 'the slze of the victory, The hest evi- dence of this was found when an en- velope sealed up in the candidate's room last Sunday evening, was opened. It contained the guesses of 12 newspapermen and the ex-gove ernor on the result.

Plans are already being formulated for reviving the work of the recon- struction commission, whose rocom- mendations for a consolidation of the 187 state departments and. bureans into 19 were killed by Gevernor Miller. Constitutional amendements involved in this plan will have to be passed by two legislatures with dif- »ferent senaters before being submitted to the people. This means that even if they were passed at the next ses- sion they could not be submitted ‘to the people before the fall of 1925, after Smith had completed his com- ing term.

HARTFORD PUPILS " HAVE HARD TINE Principals Told That But Few Become H. §. Junlors Hartford, Nov, 9.—~Only about 36 per cent of the students who enter the Hartford Public High school become Juniors, the others dropping out be- cause of lack of intelligence, Dr, Gus- tave A, Feingold, Hartford psycholo- glst and member of the high school faculty told the Principals’ club at its monthly meeting yesterday after- noon at the board o ucation rooms. Dr. Feingold spoke on “The Suh- normal High School Student.”” The greatest mortality occurs, he said, in the freshman class, where 50 per cent fail to qualify, He described a normal student as one who is able to complg(e the four years' course with an" averago grade of 656, the passing grade being 60. With exceptions as to {llness, tranfer, etc,, any student who takes more than four years cannot be classed as normal, Dr. Feingold de- clared. « It was often suggested that many high school courses are too hard Dr. Feingold pointed out, but add- ed that if they were any easler, they could hardly "be regarded as high school subjets at all. He produced charts showing that intelligence of a student and his scholarship grade harmonized, indicating that, allowing for outside interests, there must be something wrong when the student cannot ‘make the 55 grade in mark's Auring his first two years. Many students, he said, picked out comparatively simple courses as drawing and domestic science, which required no great mental effort, and the fallute in those branches were nil, 'but when attempting to learn the mysteries of mathematics, sclence and languages, the percentage of failure was big. He quoted the common case where a student, dur. ing his freshman year, took shop work, a simple course, but was later befogged with mechanical drawing which required independent and ra- tional thinking.
