N unattractive horse sold for $34, and was used be- tween the shafts of a delivery wagon. Joe Bijo, the owner, discovered that his nag had the makings of a rac¢ horse. He put the horse on the track under the Billy White—and Billy already paces a mile in ‘ The case reminds us of human opportunity.

(OME one has defined an expert as a man who lives 100 miles away and charges $100 a day for his services Experts, however, have their place and are 1 An interesting development is this: In many fields, t INDIVIDUAL EXPERT is being displaced by an EX- | PERT METHOD that can be applied by average common sense. j For instance, it is an expert’s task to determine the " “mental age” of children, and particularly children not Sufficiently subnormal to be placed in institutions, but too far below average intelligence to keep pace with an ordi- Mary school class, accordingly needing special classes. Experts have charge of such work. Usually they go @round from one community to another, in “caravan clinics.” One of the leading authorities in this work is Dr. Samuel B. Sinclair. In a recent speech he announced: | “An ordinary teacher, with a few hours’ instruction re- garding methods of observation and inquiry, and without giving a formal intelligence test, can estimate a sub- Normal child’s mental age within a few per cent of the Stanford-Binet estimate. Her findings for a subnormal class are superior to those of a group test, and for this caravan clinics are unnecessary. » Another illustration is radio, extremely complicated. Yet a lad can build his own radio, tho he couldn't repair that far simpler meclfanism, a watch. The reason is that experts, instead of keeping their secrets to themselves and building all radios under their own supervision, have created and released expert systems or hook-ups—easily put into effect by any one with fair intelligence. The ability to “carry out” complicated instructions i amazingly widespread. It speaks highly for the educa- tional system that has made it possible by brain training. essary Equalizing It IROMINENT doctor dies.
