PRICE 2 -.NTS ' o ( IEW WOMEN'S EMPLOYMENT LAW PIKE COUNTY MAN DIES IN SCRANTON WILL AFFECT PENNSYLVANIA HOTELS WOUNDS SELF-INFLICTED SEVERAL DAYS AGO Many small hotels throughout the State, especially those which make (i specialty of serving "Sunday dln- Iiers ' for commercial men and auto nobile parties, will be affected by lhe new state law regulating tne Iiours of women employes, and It is f the opinion of the State .officials that the law applies to hotel em ployes. If the new law Is enforced tne tountry hotel will be obliged to have corn of waitresses and other help bspecia'ly hired for Its Sunday dln- Iicrs. The new law says that a woman I nay not bo employed more than six lays a week and a recent decision from the Attorney General s depart IVHY CHILDREN MAKE THE BEST WITNESSES What anatomy, astronomy and lectriclty were to Diogenes, so are :ie science of child training, human behavior and experimental educa- llon to us to-day. Even the matter f common sefise and intelligence n the obviously sane person are be ginning to be Investigated and things about children formerly tak- for granted are now to be rigorous ly subjected to experimental re- learch. Thus, as an instance, the problem It inheritance and its role in the Child's Intelligence, alertness, dex- lerity, inattention, quickness, mem- try, power of recall and acquisitive owers must be looked into. These Iame aptitudes must be studied with egard to acquired knowledge. It is already known that there is Inherited so much that is good in the vorst of us and so much that is bad In the best of us, that it ill becomes Iny of us to think we are more in telligent than the rest of us. The Invironment can be made to fit each leparato distinct human 'being if, the I roper parental and pedagogic su ervision is kept up. Thus, If the Intelligence inherited is of a defec ive or bad sort the methods of training such a child now properly leasured and adjusted by experi mental psychology can be stand ardized to dovetail into Its needs. Intelligence and common sense lifter only in degree, not in quality. Ilence the inherited superiority of tne person can be almost equalized other sane persons by proper cor- lective measures. Experimental tests lave now reached the point where itelllgenco can be adequately gaug- d. Mothers and teachers are no anger Justified in .supposing, guess- ig or juuging tne"aDinty" or "in slligence" or "horse sense" of chll- Bren. The new psychology has de- I eloped instruments, devices and machines of such precision that the lental effort, the mental result, and lhe time in every intelligent manl- estation can now be measured. Thus, if a small girl asked to re- leat in her own words. a little story, le time it takes her to tell it, the Iegree of perfection of the story and ther values can be recorded by prop r Instruments. Memory, clearness If attention, brightness, alertness of lo senses and the relative sensitive I ess of emotions, reason, logic, su erstition, etc., are all measured and liarked. The capacity .for originating,' aaglnlng or conceiving abstract or loncrete ideas is all deciphered by creens, electrical clocks, color discs. Iraphaphones, blood pressure instru lents and other new marvels of the Isychological laboratory. Whether child's intelligence is of the analy se, synthetic, destructive or wag gish type is no longer matter' for lazardous and harmful speculation, lut one for the laboratory and the peciaiisr. The adult is a bad witness be- luse he has had so many almost limilar experiences and memories liat the occurrence in hand is less livid and more nearly like his reams, memories and analagous ex- Ierlence. He thus tells as true that -hlch he has dreamed, remember d, hoped, wished or Imagined. The Ulld, lacking such things, has a ivid novelty before It which be- ames Indelible and distinct from all llse in its brief span of existence. A child, on the other hand, can Ijstlfy accurately to all that it has jon or heard as far as its memory tin go. O. U. A. M. HAVE BASKET BALL TEAM. The Honesdale Junior O. U.'A. M. lave organized a basket ball team (hlch promises to come up to the intlard of local teams of the Ma tte City in the paBt. Norman Mc lityre was elected, at a recent meet- Iig of the order, as manager of the ew team. Leon Ross, who has iccessfully coached Honesdale's lsket ball teams in the past, will captain. Under this manage ment some good fames are looked lr. The High school gymnasium has o.en secured for practice and the I, km meets there every Monday ight. Such old players as Leslie trader, Nathan Mitchell, John Car- lichael and Olaf Highhouse and oth- rs will compose the material for the lam. Arrangements are being lade for games in the near future. TREE BY PARCEL POST. A tree was shipped from Franklin parcel post. It was collected by Ilbert Bunnell, a rural carrier, from farmer who dftlred to send it to a flond in Ohio. The branches had been bound losely to the trunk of the tree with vine, and the girth was therefore lily four Inches. The tree was. gut feet long, and Bunnell would fa accept it, pnui ne naa sawea it f to keep the parcel 'within the aiiauon. ment is to the effect that telephone operators may not be employed on Sunday, if they work on the other days of the week, even If the Sun day work would be only a few hours in a rotation system. The system has been changed in both the Con solidated a-nd Bell offices in Hones dale so that the work of operators may conform with the law. In small offices such as Honesdale the change works decidedly against the interests of the young lady opera tors who are required to go back and forth from the ofllce several times a day so that the required time may be put in. "They work less but oftener," will express the situation nicely. "ISLE OF NOD" NETS IMPROVEMENT ASS'N $120 REPORT OP RECEIPTS AND EX PENDITURES MADE AT MEET ING MONDAY.
