Watson Shoesmiith WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 1'922 - Night Editor-HOWARD A. DONAHUE Assistant-Wi Bernard Butler THE AMERICAN MORON William Allen White, 'editor and author, has re- itly come out with the very astounding state- nt that the majority of those living in the United tes'are morons-persons with a mental age from en to twelv years inclusive. He has based his tement on the intelligence examinations given by ntal examiners of the army. .Mr. White attri- tes the low caliber of our .public officials to the dishness of the electorate who are frequently :en in by platitudes, pretentious, baby-kissings and idshakings of' incompetent "good fellows." A; prominent psychologist said that the adult with 14-year-old brain was able to get along ordin- ly and could even make a useful contribution to :iety. He also added that the 14-year-olds, while :y may achieve success, can not do the abstract nking'required to pass judgment on international ations, tariff, fiscal policies, iponetary questions i philosophical questions. In these fields they low the crowd. Professor Wenley, of this University, maintains t the tragedy of his generation is its lack of great n. Everyone has opinions, but there are all too v'who really think. Granting that what these men have said is true, at is the matter, and is there a remedy? The .tter seems to be that the standards of this coun- are too, materialistic, and not concerned enough :h the necessity of intellectual improvement. But ofessor' Wenley's generation is by no means void great men. Luther Burbank is a great man, and in Burroughs, Marconi, Thomas Edison, Henry rd, and Herbert Hoover are all great men in, their e. But their achievements are chiefly in the field science rather than in the arts. It sems to be the e that those who are great in literature and the ral arts usually do not have their achievements ognized until after their death. l'oday is the day of the practical, and men appre- te only what they can thoroughly grasp. Statis- s are misleading at their best, and man is not a chanical affair who can be indexed thus and so ording to his mental abilities. The men judged morons may be so according to some stan'dards, : it seems a fallacy to form standards that are y above the heads of the vo populi. A stand- Swhcih is only a standard and which can not be : to practical use is worthless. -The normal person :he ideal and the ideal man does not exist. HOUSING THE SUMMER WOMEN t seems that one of things which ought to be en into greater consideration is that of the hous- problem of' the women who are on the cam- during the Summer session. It is riuch harder the women students to become acquainted with another during a time when entertainments are r in number and when the time is limited, than s during the regular sessions. Apparently there uld be no necessity for closing two dormitories he same time. Of course, certain repairs have >e made in all buildings, but could not these be eseen that one dormitory alone would be closed ing each summer-and so provide a much larger aber of students with a social center? 'he women who study here during the Summer ion merit as much consideration in this re- as far as exchanging ideas and opinions with peo- ple who have the same interests at heart. New- berry residence has hitherto been open each sum- mer since its construction, and it is conceivable that the repairs which are being made at present could pot have been completed in as short a time as the period between semesters. However, activities such as the 'redecorating of the Martha Cook building could be postponed until the close of the Summer sessions and so provide places for, a large number of th9se who really desire to live in dormitoires and coul'd not be accommidated. It seems but a common sense conclusion that inasmuch ,as the dormitories are already built, they should be util- ized to the greatest advantage. OUR WOMEN'S TENNIS CHAMPION The attitude taken by Mrs. Mallory after her de- feat in England at the hands of Suzanne Lenglen, 'he French star, was anythiig but what would make the American people proud of their women's ten- nis champion. Mrs. Mallory is a poor loser. It will be remembered that the American papers were very caustic in their comments regarding Suz- ann'e Lenglen's failure to play Mrs. Mallory in this country last year. Miss Lenglen came to this coun- try scheduled to play the American champion, and just before the match was taken ill and had to cancel her engagement with Mrs. Mallory. When Mrs. Mallory received her one-sided beat- ing at Wimblton recently, she immediately turned around and began making excuses, instead of tak- ing her defeat as a true sportswoman should. She complained about her health, her unfamiliarity with the English courts, the time of day the match was , played, and various other things that were childish. The American style of sportsmanship has the repu- tation of being unique in its degree of fairness, and it is too bad for both the American people and Mrs. Mallory that she should have shown herself to be such a poor loser. ..l..---.. ........... ..., ..........................ft" "I N M .N ....... .."... ...... . ..V.....

A Sonnet on the Demise of the Lineg Collar The army shirt and red-hot days Have knelled the hard-boiled collar's end; And now the swanlike neck we bend Untrammelled by the cursed graze Of starchy linen when it frays. With glee the linen collar rend ! With reverence let your thanks ascend To Fashion's ever-changing ways. But there, perhaps, the trouble lies: The wheel of Fashion swings about, And just as we're about to shout The unmourned linen's glad demise - The wheel swings back, the soft shirt's out! Ah, god of comfort, how time flies! A Foot Note to the River Among Oilher Things When we first began this colyuu we used to sit down to the Aero-eight we write it on and be clever right out of the old bean. After a few days the friends noticed a subtle change coming over us. They came and pleaded with us not to be so clever all the time. It was wearing on us-and on them. So we decided to make this,colyum a commentary on life. ;That's where all great men get their start, com- menting on life. Take Shakespeare, for instance; take G. D. E.; take the innocuous youth with whom we share this page and with whom we have to squabble every day as to who shall write enough to fill the space. Yes, take him, and when you get him let us know and we'll bring around the sawed- off shot gun we have been treasuring up. The other day we ment up the river--oh, alone- to commune with Nature and to see if life was be- ing lived as strongly as it used to be during the early rivet season. We struggled up the stream against the current and the wind and out better judgment, and at last propped the wreck of the Hesperus against the bank and lay back to watch the pageant of summer school float by. We hear by devious pathways that some one has inquired if we are the humor editor or the humor- ous editor.
