ONLY fl HANDFUL
DEVELOP MIS
Average Man Trains Less Than
Half Of ills Mental
Capacity,
New York.—The human race pro
duces scores, perhaps hundreds, of
! minds in each generation which are
! potentially as great as those of
Edison, Einstten, Ford. Shaw, Focli
or Rockfeiler. But tlie world rare
ly profits by these potentialities be
cause only a handful of men . ip
each generation devdop their minds
to a point approximating the in
herited capacities.
The average man develops far less
I than half his real mental capacity,
reports Myron M, Steams, bringing
out these striking estimates, made
j by leading psychologists and edu
cators, m the World's Work.
| "Few men, I feel sure, ever dc
i velop a Iif til of their natural brain
| power,'' he quotes Dr. Arthur H
i Sutherland, widely known experi
j nr nlal psychologist of Los Angeles,
j "A trruh is more nearly correct for
i moat men."
"Psychologists m trie main agree
! Unit the average, man develops less
than half of his orain inheritance."
reports Mr. Stearns. “The majority
of the estimates run from 40 per
cent of the total down to 25 per
cent.”
Extended tests conducted bv Prof.
Edward L. Thourndyke, of Columbia
university, and others have proved
that the adult, until he reaches 50
or more, is generally as capable of
learning anything from simple
games to foreign languages as a
child. Mr. Stearns points out. The
adult can change his habits, his
profession or job. his pleasures and
his entire state of life, often to his
advantage, while in his middle
years The axiom to the effect that
you can’t teach an old dog new
tricks has been completely dis
proved.
But the fact is, the psychologists
have found, that most of us stop
learning voluntarily, usually in our
middle teens, and almost always be
fore we have reached 25 Of the
25,000,000 children now in school,
the estimates show. 15.000,000 will
not pass the eighth grade. Of the
remaining 10,000.000 two-thirds will
not finish high school. Only 1,000.
000 will enter college and only onc
third of these will graduate.
“There we have the problem of
our arrested development in a nut
shell” say's the World's Work ar
ticle. “Although a thousand and
one reasons are given by boys who
leave school and go to work, the
one big underlying reason Is that
they don’t want to go to school
any longer. Other things are of
more interest than continuing mere
mental development. They want to
make use of the knowledge they al
ready have, in securing money, ad
venture. and immediate place in the
world, or a good time.”
The development of the normal
person, the writer concludes, is
halted by himself merely because
he is unwilling to make the neces
sary effort for further progress*

Something .
To Think
About
Next Civilization
By BRUNO LESSING
An amusing controversy took
place, recertly, between an authoi
and nn actor. The author told why
| n® despised the theatre. The actor,
Rondnatnredly, defended the the
a Ire.
The autfior s.ld tha* the theatre
ej.lstj only to serve those who have
no imagination. He damned the
theatre “up-hill and down dale.'
The actor replied,
“You say that acting is not a
thing for intelligent people to do
or for intelligent people to watch
With a splash and a blot you are
even more Napoleonic than Na
poleon, lor you wipe off the face
of the earth the brains of untold
millions who would beg to differ
with you, were they alive, and who
would probably be extremely rude
to you if they met you elsewhere.
Here Is a point brought up of in
finitely mere importance and inter
est than any controversy about the
stage. Because it affects every de
partment of human endeavor in
which there is a clash of opinion.
That point is:
Do the brains of untold millions
amount to anything or not? In
other words, is the fact that the
j majority of people have a certain
j belief or have always had a certain
i belief or, even, that they always will
I have that belief, an intelligent ar
| guinent to use In an attempt to
I prove the truth or the value of that
; belief?
It's rather an interesting thing
to think about.
The great* majority of people,
ever since the day of Ptah-Hotep,
many centuries ago, have wanted
I to be rich. Yet they managed to
remain poor. Does that—or does it
not—prove that the majority of
economics and finance?
The average human being, since
time began, has been ambitious. Yet
what have the ambitions of count
less billions amounted to?
What have those “untold mil
j Hons,” to whom the actor referred,
actually accomplished beyond do
ing the world's manual labor, per
petuating errors and making ex
periments In government—to secure
their own happiness—not one of
which experiments has yet been
proved to be a lasting success?
So what ground Is there for be
lieving that these "untold millions”
have a knowledge, nn imagination
or any other attribute of brains
which an intelligent person ought
to respect?
Is the fact that nearly all
mankind, for thousands of years,
believed the earth to be flat, any
argument that the earth is flat? ts
the fact that, today,, more millions
of people read "sporting news” than
there are individuals who try to Im
prove their minds, any argument
that baseball and prize fights are
more important than human cul
ture?
In one suggestion, the actor was
probably right. Those "untold mil
lions.” he said, would probably be
extremely rude. They often have
been. But even rudeness does not
make right.
