The tailor dyed them, made them into auto coats, and them to a storekeeper for 70 francs each. ‘ storekeeper sold them to “ultimate consumers —not tthe war-stricken districts—for 200 francs each, .

Increasing attention is being paid to the question of mental capacity among the children in relation to school work, When a child is found) to be backward in school there will usually be found some cause for his lack of progrena and in determining the cause it is necessary to inquire thoroly into his physical and mental condition. By this means it may often be possible to Institute correc tive and preventive measures which will decrease the ilLeffects, enable the backward child to reason and to care for himself. Reasoning power in the normal person enables him to meet new situations and solve new problems. And it is this abilty to reason and to meet the various prob- lems of life as they arise, which dis tinguishes the normal from the de. fective mind.
