COPPER ISSUES CHIEF ATTRACTION Mixed Changes Feature Opening Trade in Stocks. NEW YORK. Feb. 10— Although there ■were mixed changes at the opening of the stock market today, the tone during the first fifteen minutes was generally strong. Special attention was devoted to the copper group because of the completion of the financing for the purpose of carrying surplus copper. Anaconda was in brisk demand from the start, moving up over 1 point to 39%. and Inspiration, after opei lng down % of a point at 35%. advanced to 36. The poppers featured the trading during the forenoon. Anaconda rose 1% points to 40. Reading was especially influenced by announcement that the plan for dissolution has been submitted to the authorities at Washington. There was a moderate demand for the common which opened up % at 83%. Crucible Steel gained % of a point to 94ti and only small fractional changes were noted in the other steel industrials. United States Steel sold at 82%. American Woolen advanced 2 points to 68%. American Linseed advanced 1% points to 58%. Mexican Petroleum rose 1 point to 158% and then reacted to 158. Stndebaker was ex-1% per cent divl dend. selling at 55%, unchanged from yesterday's closing. Sears-Roebuck opened down 1 point to 86. Continental Candy was heavily traded In, declining % of a point to 1%. American Smelting rose 1% points to 44 and Utah rose 2%. points to 57%. i Low-priced coppers also shared in the upturn. Outside of the movement In this group the market showed a generally steady tone, with frequent advances and reactions in many of the other industrials. Mexican Petroleum, after reacting to 158. rose to 139. Reading, after selling at 83%. reacted to 83% and the first preferred yielded % of a point to 51. General Asphalt, after selling at 67%, dropped to 66%. United States Steel was steady at 82%. California Petroleum and Famous Players rose over 1 point.

(By Thomson &. McKinnon ) —Feb. 10— 6ur stock market yesterday was in many respects similar to Tuesday's session. We opened quietly and while the undertone was good, trading was light and early fluctuations unimportant. Later in the session there was more active trading, with a commission house demand as well as professional buying, confined, however, to a comparatively small number of issues that are usually most proponent. Money was easier, and this is always a favorable element, and the regular dividend on American Sugar also was favorable to the market, particularly in view of the doubt that has been recently expressed on the subject. Os undoubted importance to the murket was the progress reported on the bill la congress to enable railroads to obtain funds due them from the Government. It Is a considerable sum and will be of material assistance in enabling railroads to discharge pressing obligations as well as enabling them to begin the purchase of supplies, and to that extent stimulating general business. The element against the marke.t is the uncertainty In the steel and iron Industry as to the price, and the leading trade Journal confirms the price-cutting policy adopted by one of the larger independent companies. In a short while world-wide conditions undoubtedly will Improve, confidence will be restored when we will again enjoy a normal demand from Investors, but temporarily the Incentive for this demand is lacking and therefore no important advance is likely at present. During the nenri few weeks we may have some reactionary periods when ft will be advisable for the public to accumulate stocks. CLEARING HOUSE STATEMENT. NEW YORK.

GRAIN FUTURES MAKE GAINS Green Bug Menace in South Big Factor in Wheat Advances. CHICAGO, Feb. 10. —Influenced by a bght demand and good cash demands, grain futures advanced on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Revival of the green bug menace throughout the South also had its effects.. Provisions were higher. March wheat opened at $1.62, off %c, ! gaining 5e In later trading. May‘wheat i opened off %c at $1.52 and advanced 3%c subsequently. I May corn, openced unchanged at 66%c | and gained 2%c before the close. July j corn opened unchanged at 68%c and j gained l%c later. May oats, opening unchanged at 43%c, | advanced l%c subsequently. July oats opened down %c at 44%c And advanced %c later. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Feb. 10Wheat—lnasmuch as the flour trade has been stagnant for several months. It Is not unreasonable to believe that there is room for a material improvement for I flour and for wheat from the trade genj (“rally. The seaboard reports Inquiry 'and moderate business in export flour, | but outside of this the foreign news has been of its previous character, namely, ; emphasizing cheaper prices o£ southern I hemisphere wheat. News of this, sort has I lost its effect and values will be governed ' from this time forward by the attitude of the producer, also by the breadth of the domestic demand. Coarse Grains—The Idea that corn and oats are at a level where there Is little virtue In the anticipation of lower prices la growing. On the other hand, there is so poor an outlet for the present accumulations that belief in higher prices is based only upon the farm feeding valu, which Is conceded to be greater than the j commercial price. Between these two ideas. Interests in these markets Is dwindling and prices are following the action of wheat. If by chance any demand sufficient size to decrease the dls- ! count for the cash article should develop, | there is opportunity for some betterment , of prices Provisions— The general Interest In proi vision market Is small, Hut there Is a fair trade. Market secures Its dally color from the receipts and prices of hogs. I There Is not hs much friendliness displayed In products as heretofore.

Army Chart System Used to List Crime DENVER, Feb. 10.—“ Orientation” and other methods used by the general staff of the American Army In France will be adopted by Col. Philip S. Van Clsa, new district attorney of Denver, to “keep Ms fingers ou the pulse of crime” in this city. Just ns the various corps and divisional headquarters of Uncle Sam’s soldiery located and kept “tabs” on the Hun by means of maps, so will the new prosecutor have marked out for his Information the particular sections of the city where a specific kind of law-breaking Is said to prevail. As Van Clse takes up the prosecutor’s task in Denver there goes up on the walls of his offices a complete tabulation so far as he has been able to gather, of conditions existing In tho various “crime lones.”

GIFTED CHILD NEEDSSPECIAL SCHOOLCOURSE Talented Children Suffer From Lack of Adequate Training Along Natural Lines. NEW SYSTEM IS NEEDED BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN WASHINGTON, D. C.—That the gifted child needs a special kind of schooling. Just as much as tha defective child, if he Is to reach his full usefulness, is an idea which is gaining recognition In this country. In Germany, It appear*, It has been fully recognized. American educators are studying the German system of schools for gifted pupils. The Bureau of Education Is giving special attention to the problem In a few American cities tentative efforts have been made to establish special schools or classes for the gifted. The argument for such schools Is this: Among school children Is a certain percentage who are highly and specifically gifted. They are the children who will, or at least may, become artists, writers, composers, original scientific Investigators, leaders in various lines. They represent nothing less than the future creative power of the race and of the nation. It is tho work of such people that makes a civilization. The rest merely carry on what the creators start. Surely, then, these children are worthy of special attention. Surely an intelligent nation will make every effort to find them out and help them along. Yet this has never been done In this country. It is useless to pretend that the regular school course Is suited to the gifted child. It is necessarily adapted to the average child. The gifted child usually suffers in two ways. In the first place hb does not take to the slow and plodding routine of It, and In the second place he gets no adequate training in his special line. The boy with a gift for drawing, for instance. Is punished for making a cartoon of the teacher In the back of his book when he should be studying algebra. But if a school system knew how to use Its human material, this boy would at once to be put In an art class, and he would not be forced to take a great deal of mathematics. which perhaps he could neither use nor comprehend. Underfed and tubercular children are placed In outdoor schools in many cities, and given suitable attention. The abnormally dull child Is cared for In a special class, where his case is studied and he is taught as an Individual, so that what powers he bar mav develop. In an ordinary schoolroom these types are unable to conform to conditions, and are a constant worry to the teacher. So they ure provided for In most city schools. But the bright child, who Is Just as much In need of special attention. and so much better worth It. is usually disregarded. The German Idea Is to have the children who seem brightest to their teachers observed for two years and given tests by a board of examiners and school superintendents. Those who do no, seem promising during the trial years are dropped from the competition and put back with the regular pupils. The survivors are then sent to a school foi gifted pupils and divided Into classe 9> those who wish a classical course, and those who are more interested in a course with modern languages as a basis. All this Is purely academic. The pupils are taught the usual high school subjects, but the course is enriched, and adapted to their superior mentality, j Many of them, presumably, will use the training as a foundation for university I work and bqcome writers, scleutlsts and statesmen. This plan has been tried out in Berlin now for throe years. In the main It is considered successful, snd It is being extended to different parts of the country. The difficulties are In details—the basis on which candidate* should be selected, and the character of the training to be given them. It Is Interesting to note that the desirables are chosen by Intelligence anff psychological tests. Germany has always been a country where education progressed from one examination to nn other examination —all fact tests. The new measurement Is entirely different. The various cities have their own tests, but in one city which Is'probably typical the candidate Is gauged according to such points as attention, memory, imagi nation. thinking ability. expression through languages, susceptibility to fatigue. disposition sud will anJ power of observation.

STI DENTS GOOD IN ONE LINE SHOULD BE SEPARATED. The schools for the all-around bright children have suggested a need for a similar system of segregating those who are particularly good at one thing—mathematics, or drawing, or physics. This type Is now being provided for In some German cities with the idea of developing talents of those who may distinguish themselves In artistic or scientific pursuits. Such children may not be accounted good students, but If they show soma talent they arc given examination in their line of interest by a board of school officials and specialists In art, electricity, or whatever the subject may be. If the result warrants training, they are sent to a school for gifted pupils and given every oportunlty to blossom out. This certainly looks like conservation of brains, but It Is too soon to tell whether It will prove a good Investment for the State. That will depend partly on the method of conducting the schools and portly on the pupils themselves. If the candidates are selected fairly and by sensible tests It should be possible to sort out the best pupils. And If the schools do fit the course to the individual. Instead of following the accepted rule of shaping the child's mind to fit the course, the graduates turned out should be superior to the usual standard product of a modern school system. It is well known, however, that not all promising children develop Into brilliant men and women, even when advantages are given them. What Is taken for unusual Intelligence In a child of 11 may be an extra good memory with little sense of reasoning or Judgment back of It. This has been shown again and agßln in the child prodigies who nre always being exploited. At 6 years they recite Latin ode* and talk half a dozen languages.

WEATHER CONDITION’S. Disturbances are centered this morning estst of the lower Mississippi Valley and In the Canadian northwest. In connection with the former, considerable precipitation has occurred from the middle Gulf coast to the New England States, the rainfall being heavy at a number of places in the South. The northwestern dinturhance has caused rising temperature over the extreme northwest: and while the readings are a little lower In the northern Plains States and the middle Rocky Mountains, and also In the Ohio \ alley, temperatures in all sections continue moderate for the season.

Judging by the results to date, the German school officials figure that about 1% per cent of the school population can i be counted on to prove themselves worth ; the extra trouble of special training. This percentage of our public school | population would be about 300.000 children. While the advisability of special schools for these pupils In our country has not boen considered, scattered at- ! tempts are being made in a few of our i cities to rwognlze the rights of the bright pupil. Minneapolis has adopted a system of promotion by subjects, so that the child who is slow at figures but can read anything does not have to spend months on reading books that bore him by their simple language. Instead, he may be In the fourth grade In reading, and only in the third or second In arithmetic. With this plan, the child who has difficulty with one or two subjects Is less apt to become discouraged, because he does not have to repeat ail the work of a grade in order to get 'a full set of passing marks. And, of course, the pupil who Is bright can be promoted as rapidly as his work warrants. The objection to this arrangement. sometimes heard, is that the pupil is apt to neglect the studies In which he Is slow and get a one-sided education. Detrott and some other cities are trying a different solution. They have each class divided into three sections—the brightest pupils In one. those of ordinary mentality In another, and those who are slow In the third. This is said to work very well. Some such system ns this Is about all the public schools can do for the gifted child so long as he is kept with the others. He cannot be given much Individual Instruction. The teacher who has twenty-five pupils has an Ideal class, j and very few have go small a number of children as that. Forty members in a class Is not unusual, and there are often more. The bright child will eventually be

given a chance. Commissioner Claxton of the Bureau of Education is in favor of a branch of his bureau to study tie needs of exceptional children, both those who are gifted and those who are deficient. Not- very much is being done by the State for either type, but it will take longer for the gifted child to gain recognition as a being with rights. He does not present the same appeal to sentiment as the pitifully stupid child, struggling to keep up with work that he cannot grasp. But he is worth infinitely more.
