WHAT IS YOUR CHILD’S I. Q.?

CONSIDERABLE attention has been directed in many countries, including Canada, to those children who are mentally handicapped, but it is only very recently that any special and properly directed methods have been adopted leading to the adequate training of those children who are endowed with superior intelligence— and from whom the nation’s leaders will, in a large proportion, be selected.

MOSTLY SALLY

THE only real lasting happiness, we are told, is to be obtained by bringing happiness to others.

McKenna Shows How Nations Foster German Competition

A REMARKABLE address, dealing with such subjects as the cancellation of war debts; the effect of “splendid isolation” on foreign trade; the relations existing between foreign commerce and prosperity; the value of exports as only payment for imports; and the folly of super-taxing industry, was delivered recently by the Right Honorable Reginald McKenna, leading British financier, formerly Chancellor of the Exchequer, before the Commercial Club of Chicago.

What Can the Movies Teach?

IN SEARCH for first-hand impressions as to the effects of the movie on juvenile thought and emotion, I dropped in during a Saturday afternoon at one of those special children’s programs the picture theatres advertise. I was one of the very few adults present and, like the bear of the nonsense rhyme that went over the mountain, I was there to see what I could see. By NICHOLAS NORTH14 min
