Of Cum: se Tliey'ic Naught, lint Of course, the children who de a'l sorts of unexpected and provoking h ngs are naughty. Miss lde told the nethers. but the cause, "that inner urge." may some day carry them te I e ghts of usefu'.ness in the gtewn-up world. Fven If school children have tin Ir memories stuffid with all sorts of facts about history and botany and geography and whnt net, like the ant running mound in circles, they are, never going te get anywhere unless they have "pep" te vitalize them into a constructive life. Brilliancy in school, Miss lde de clared, is tee often confused with a geed memory nnd the ability te retain facts until the examination Is passed. Many factors aie te be considered, but the "bril.iant" pupils are net ulvvays the best equipped mentally. Compares Diffe;cnt Sections Miss lde interested her hearers by giving the results of u recent test with child! cu of foreign purentagc, living In the downtown section, nnd children In a West Philadelphia section which beasts of limousines and nurse maids. The "ellffdvve lers," as she termed the West Phi ndclphla young-der-, who .ive in apartments, were better in thel use of English than the ether childieu. hut they were surpassed in singing nnd .timing. The downtown children, nil of first giade age, showed n lemnikable knowl edge of the coins used in everyday life. The We-t Philadelphia boys and girl knew u few telas, whc.cns the etheis 1 ei agnized every pleie of inenev shown te them and knew their comparative values. Miss lde attributed this te (lie fact thnt the downtown children often are given a coin and sent out te buy theii own feed. Pick'cs and ether tasty but uiilimiiishing feed would be bought wit tin money. The result, Miss lde stilted, was that as a ru'e the children of for fer ei;n parentage wine two years behind the ethers in weight and height. The meeting today was in eharge of Mrs. C.
