SEWARD, VLASKA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1913.
There is every reason now to believe, according to the dispatches receiv
ed yesterday, that all danger of war between the United States and Germany
is over. War between the United States and the allied powers is out of the
question as, apparently, the majority of the people of this country are in
sympathy with the cause of the Entente Alliance.
Rut have we ever paused to think what the declaration of war between
the United States ami the Teutonic allies would mean to the internal affairs
of this country? The people of Teutonic birth and extraction claim to be
represented under the Stars ami stripes by more than twenty millions of
American citizens. All those born in Germany’ love the Fatherland with a
passion whose depth has been proven over and over again. To ask them to
take up arms against their ow n motherland would be tantamount to ask ng
a man to commit matricide. No matter what country a man is born in, and
no matter w hat country he adopts later as his ow n, he never loses every senti
ment born of the first great love—the love which is often only intensified by
exile, as sexual love is intensified by separation.
Dill the United States declare war against the Quadruple Entente to
morrow, who would expect Englishmen to take up arms enthusiastically
against the Union Jack? They might do what they consider to be the duty
imposed upon them by the acquisition of Aemerican citizenship but their
hearts could hardly be in the struggle. For the same reason those mil; or,3
of Germans could hardly be expected to turn their arms with pleasure against
Germany.
The nation has, indeed, avoided a terrible danger and tnc nation has
come out with fly ing colors. The result has vindicated the action of President
Wilson and his advisors. America had nothing to gain by precipitating a
war against remote Germany but she had everything to fear from internecine
controversies, or worse, that might have divided the people of this country’
into opposing camps and so kept them divided for long years after the
European powers themselves had forgotten their enmities. Once more the
wisdom of Wilson has proven itself.

club that he had in his hand. This Never question a woman’s age.
Dr. Henry H. Goddard, professor of
psychology at the University of Cali
fornia summer session, says we all
have two ages, a chronological age
and a mental age. They are not al
ways the same. One may be from
two to five years older mentally than
in actuality. In such a case one
would be known as abnormally bright.
Or, on the other hand, if one is back
ward in school, it is probable that he
is younger mentally than actually.
An imbecile who has passed twenty
years in this vale of tears may be
only two years old mentally.
Dr. Goddard recently described the
Binet tests for mental defectives. Ac
cording to these tests, children are
asked certain questions and on the
basis of their answers, grade as to
mental age. Questions are asked
which do not depend on instruction
but come within the common knowl
edge of every child. For instance, a
normal child of 5 should be able to
* copy a square. If the child under ob
servation cannot do this it is an in
dication that he is under 5 years,
mentally. Of course, the result of
one question asked would not be tak
en as final evidence of defect. A long
list of questions are gone through,
tests of touch, sight and other senses,
made, before the child is definitely
classed as defective or feeble-minded.
Years of study by Binet, De Sanctis
and other scientists were necessary to
compile the tests. Many hundreds of
normal children had to be examined
before it could be determined what
knowledge a child of any given age
should have. The system as now per
fected is in use in most of the modern
schools of the country.
