INAUGUATRE A JUNIOR CHURCH FOR CHILDREN: IS POPULAR FEATURE

(By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 177.-Boys and girla who are interested in religion, but who have not yet attained an appreciation, of the sermonsV hymns and prayers of a regular church service are now being provided with services of their own in a number of churches in Indiana. The Junior church, as the service is designated, has recently been inaugurated by several denominations. Grace Presbyterian church in this city, was one of the first to institute a service for young folks of from 10 to 14 years of age. "The plan of this new step in Graco

church," says Rev. N. S. Sichterman,

the pastor, "is to give the boys and girls a regular church service of their own which seeks to serve the religious life of the children in the same way the regular church service does the religious life' of the adults.

"The chief features of the Junior

church are; a regular order of services: a Junior church choir; ushers;

officials and other, features that the

adult church enjoys. The only one

not a Junior, in point of years, at

least, is the pastor who leads the service and preaches the' sermon. Meeting Success. "The Junior church is meeting with

r.uccess in different parts of our land as well as across the sea ,in churchea ranging in size from one hundred to three thousand members. In these churches the Junior church has a

membership of from 25 to 400. "The idea of the Junior church ser

vice originated in the growing appreciation of educational principles. It is the application of the graded public

school in the teaching of religion.

Rev. Sichterman recalls boyhood experiences when he was compelled, he says, to attend Sunday services lasting two hours or more, and made up of sermons, prayers and hymns, little of which he appreciated as they were not adapted either to his needs or understanding. A Junior church has recently been organized" by the First Methodist church at Huntington, Ind., for the young folks of the congregation.

Child Prodigies in After Life By FREDERICK J. HASKIN

NKW YORK CITY, Feb. 17. What

becomes of child prodigies after they grow up? Do they go right on being prodigies, or do they lose their pristine precocity?

The answer to ihls iiuestion, recent

ly given by several prominent New York educators and psychologists, is that child geniuses invariably turn out well. They not only develop into adults of unusual intelligence and en

ergy, but they often exhibit rare crea

tive ability as well.

In the old days when children were supposed to be seen and not heard.

there existed a general" prejudice

against encouraging youthful manifestation of genius. The juvenile brain was regarded as something very frail and unstable and very likely to collapse under unusual strain or pressure. The child who showed superior talent in the classroom was loked upon in the community as one unquestionably headed for an insane asylum or a life of crime, and his parents were more often the objects of neighborly compassion than congratulation. This attitude probably originated in Jealousy on the part of parents whose own offspring exhibited no undue indications of brightness and from what we know of the power of suggestion today, it may have had its own harmful effects. But it was, modern scientists tell us. altogether without foundadation. For research has revealed the

fact that there is not only much less insanity among geniuses than among the common lot of people, but that they are usually exceptionally health folk as well. Innumerable examples could be quoted in proof of this, but a few conspicuous ones recently set forth by Prof. Rudolph M. Binder of New York university will suffice. ' Socrates Did Well " "Let's begin with Socrates," said

Professor Binder. "The great philosopher served as a hoplite, which means that he was a member of what we in modern terms would designate as shock troops. He was 70 years old

when he was compelled to drink the

hemlock. "Coming down many centurites, Sir Isaac Newton lived to be 85 and was strong and hearty and a hard worker till within a short"time of his death. Darwin was born with a rugged constitution, which he ruined by his failure to take care of it, but it enabled him to accomplish a remarkable amount of work before he died at the age of 73. "If proof were needed that Herbert Spencer was born with an iron constitution it would be provided by that in

cident in his boyhood when at the age of 13 he walked 48 miles one day, 47 the second and 20 the third, and with very little food during the three days. Spencer Is another man who injured his health by lack of care of himself, but if he had not been naturally strong he would not have lived to be 83. "Even Shakespeare, who died at the age of 52, might be said to have lived a good life considering the amount of work he did as playwright, actor and manager. Goethe, an exceedingly busy man, was in good health almost to the time of his death at the age of 83. "Of the four probably most famous Italians, Dante lived to be only 58, but his life was one of arduous labor; Leonardo da Vinci, an athlete, who outstripped far younger men in feats of strength, was nearly 67; Michael An-

gelo worked furiously most of his 90 years, and Galileo enjoyed good health

until his death at . 78

In fact, almost every European nation and several South . American re

publics seemed to have two or three ready for us as soon as the war was over. We have marveled at the ability of the little chess wizard, Samuel Rzeshewskl; of the little girl Pamela Bianco; of the young girl diaryist introduced by Herr Freud, and of a long list of vouthful musical artists. And

recently we have been asked to admire our own American prodigies in groups so fast are they developing. Last year little Miss Bianco held an art exhibition of her own which was well praised by astonished art critics, but, lo! this year a whole group of New York children are exhibiting work just as good. As the prejudice against permitting

children to assert themselves dies out, we seem to be developing greater and

greater numbers of super-normal chil

dren.. If the increase continues and if the day ever comes when the public

schools adopt special measures for developing individual talent; genius may possibly become common among our

population.

Travelers Notes By Post C. Scribe

Ladies' night last Saturday evening was a most enjoyable affair. The music was unusually good. Mrs. Fred G.

Haisley with Mrs. Roy Campbell at the piano delighted the members with vocal numbers. Mrs. Haisley, in response to urgent solicitation .entertained with several beautiful and artistic whistling solos. The Victory quartette, Messrs. Walter Luring, John Graham, Edgar Mote and Clifford Hutchins, were In splendid form and very generous with encores. Their songs were given with a pep and swing very pleasing to the audience. The card tables were well filled and Charlie Tooker provided a most delicious lunch, Favors were awarded to Mrs. Fred G. Haisley and Mrs. Alva E. Holmes. The remaining members of the class of 1902 are Roscoe T. Bowman William R. Dill Harry B. Highley Oscar W. Jamison, John Y. Poundstone and Stephen S. Straton. '; - Mrs. James G. Martin has been a victim of the "flu" and consequently missed Ladies' night.' Press Chairman J. B. Young, Post J, Evansville, has the following to say regarding the withdrawal of John P. Highley: - -

"The post secretary received a letter Saturday from L. C. Niewoehner presi

dent and M. L. Hasty, secretary of

Post C, Richmond, saying that Post C

was compelled to withdraw the name

of John P. Highley as a candidate for president of the Indiana division. Un

expected business developments in Mr.

Highley's affairs make this action necessary. This news will be received

with regret by the many friends of Brother Highley, who were anticipat

ing his election at our next state convention. He is Just the kind of a man the Indiana division needs for president." At the conclusion of January, 1922, the net membership of the T. P. A. reached 101,422 and the amount in all funds In the treasury totaled $941,043.79. Delinquents should consider an organization of this size and prosperity as too good to surrender when the cost amounts to about three cents daily per mpmber. There is much acHvity in Post Q, New Albany. Post President Hauss, with Alex Hartman, are out on a membership drive; a banquet last Saturday night attended by State President Mlddleton and State Secretary Zink, canvas for local officers for the coming year and other features keep the ball rolling. State Press Chairman W. A. Ryan of Terre Haute sees a deplorable undercurrent in national T. P. A. affairs and issues this warning: ' "Beware of subversion of our association in the tinfg' to come. That an attempt with this end in view is now reflected in the signs of the times is but too apparent. It will come and must be met. Ambitious and designing men are working their way.- A subversion that will take the power from the membership and place that power in the hands of the few. This has been the trend in a lesser degree for a few years past but is cropping out more

nd more. Keep your eye upon the

trend of affairs. Don't go to sleep. Organizations of money are tempting Only resolute work by our state divisions can forestall the trend. Beware of the "one-man" theory if you would preserve this association. , It is high time for a closer scrutiny of our national affairs when officers in high places are found going aside from the duties of their office and throwing their influence into the scale Jn the choice of national officers as was done at Louisville and, before and since Louisville. Such officers were not drawn by us for. any such purposes. Therefore it is high time for a closer investigation of their conduct of their offices. From the highest to the lowest our

officers are all elected by the chosen delegates in convention assembled. It is given to no officer so chosen to use his influence directly or indirectly in

the choice of his fellow officers and any such action is in derogation of such officers just powers and an unwanted interference in the elective rights of their state divisions. We are justified in resenting such interference

with the association."

Many of our members are or have

been, suffering with the prevailing epidemlo of "flu," Ibut seldom let it be

known until upon the road to recovery.

The chairman of the sick and relief committee can not give the atention to such cases unless informed. Our secretary, Marcus Hasty, can always be reached by telephone and will be glad

to refer all sick and relief reports to the chairman for prompt attention.

robust example of Joseph Hoffman, famous pianist, who clearly demon

strated his remarkable musical talent when he was but two and a half years old, and was on the concert stage at the age of eleven. Super-Children in Two Classes "There are and always have been

certain wonder children," Prof. Edward

L. Thorndike of Teachers' college, Columbia university, tells, "and they have turned out to be great men and women later. It is evident that child geniuses

may be divided into two classes those who are creative and inventive and those who have exceptional memories and absorbing powers. "The child of creative ability is the real wonder child. There are many children who have exceptional memories, and while it is true that some of these children have greater capacity than others, the faculty is not indicative of as high development as the creative or inventive gift." Professor Monroe, also of the Teachers' college, declares that our present system of public school education is greatly to be censured because it makes no special provision for children of superior ability. "We in this

country are so democratic that we look ' out for the mass," he says. "Our en

tire educational system is gauged to

mediocrity. We need some new way of scaling our classes, so that persons of exceptional ability will not be held back to the level of their mediocre companions. Sometimes this lack of occupation in school while they are waiting for their slower brothers and sisters to catch up is harmful to the children of superior talent. They become restive or indifferent. "Wider recognition should be given to the child prodigy. The hope of education is to bring out all the native talent and ability each child has. Naturally some children will have more to show than others, but each child should have a chance to develop to its highest point "I do not believe in too much freedom or too much superintendence of the child's education. There is a medium which offers encouragement to the child to use his own initiative and at the same time furnishes guidance without which he might become one-sided."

BEQUEST FOR LIBRARY (By Associated Press BOURBON, Feb. 17. Building of a public library here has been made possible by the bequest of $12,000 from the estate of the late William Erwin of this town.

(By Associated Press) HAIFA, Palestine, Feb. 17. Accidental discovery of a consignment of several thousand automatic pistols and 25,000 round3 of ammunition, which were being smuggled into Palestine in boxes supposed to contain

beehives, has aroused much comment and tended to revive the bitter feel

ings between the Arabs and Jews.

Sir Herbert Samuel, the high com

missioner, had exempted beehives

from customs duty in order to develop

Palestine's industry.

Ninety-six boxes supposed to con

tain beehives were being unloaded at Haifa when one of them was broken

revealing the weapons and ammunition. The whole consignment which

had been addressed to Jews was seiz-j

ed. The head of the Jewisn (jo-operative Workmen's association at Haifa and a noted Jewish lawyer at Jaffa were arrested and charged with being implicated in the affair.

The Zionist leaders have disavowed!

all responsibility and condemned tne incident. The native press has warned the people to be on guard, asserting that probably this contraband business has been going on for some time and that very likely great quantities of arms and ammunition have been brought in in this way.
