THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester, Editor & Pub. Lotus H. Louden, Adv. Manager FARM GRADUATES ON FARMS Perkeley, (Calif.) Gazette A good many people, both town and country breed, have wondered whether colleges really turn to farming or allied pursuits on completing their studies. A questionnaire sent out by the University of Minnesota gives good evidence that they do. Out of the first 100 answers returned it developed that 97 per cent of the farm school graduates were either directly engaged in farming or stock raising, generally along highly specialized lines, or were engaged to the furtherance of agriculture. Only three out of the 100 had turned to distinctly urban pursuits. This remarkably high average might not hold in a complete canvass of all the agricultural grads in the country, but it may be taken as a very fair indication of the effects of education along these lines. The agricultural school arose in answer to a direct demand and it has come to stay. It bears the same relation to farm life which other colleges bear to commercial technical or professional life, and it is just as worthy of enthusiastic support. POLITICAL STATUS OF BRITISH WOMEN Women of Britain, enfranchised as a World War measure, have hardly had time to get their political bearings. In Britain, as in America, the enfranchised feminine hand is a mystery to policicians. That there will be independent thinking and independent action in politics, on the part of English women, the same as among American women, is to be assumed. Theories to the effect that women would vote the same as the men of their respective families are not likely to hold in Britain any more than they have held in America. The women of the predominant middle class in Britain hold the balance of political power there. It is impossible to program them or to predict with precision how they may align themselves in politics. That British women will be a wholesome influence in polities over there is altogether probable. RESPECT FOR ALL LAWS VITAL TO NATION SERVE THE PUBLIC CONSCIENCE By what strange standards do men square their neglect of they hold public office it is hard.

Laws which are unworthy of respect—and there are very few such—should be amended or repealed quickly. Generally speaking, however, all laws should be respected—all laws statutes may not be to the liking of the people—this does not justify disregard for and the violation of these laws. Any law and every law should be observed so long as it is law. The way to displace an objectionable law is to repeal it, not to deride or violate it. To violate laws is to break down respect for all law. And to break down respect for law is to breed a long train of evils. Law is the bulwark of liberty. Without law there is no true and established freedom. Without law there is no security for life or property. This should never become a Nation given over to violation, evasion and disdain of law. The trend should be held up to the respect and the veneration of the people. To this end extreme care should be taken to make all laws worthy of respect. TOWN IN REVIEW The more we think of that $200,000,000 cash balance of Hen Ford's the easier we realize why he refuses to tell politicians whether he will run for president.

TIMELY VIEW Proud of her progress and giving enlightenment though she will be, when an average of intelligence is struck among her population appears that this average is downward and that Americans are danger of becoming a race of "dull bells." These conclusions were voiced cently by Prof. Forrest A. Kingsbury eminent psychologist of the University of Chicago. In support of his statements Pro-Kingsbury cited data gained from tests from tests made on soldiers during the war—the greatest single effort of the kind ever undertaken, when 1,750,000 men were psychologically rated. These tests showed a remarkably small calibration brain among American men, he said. He expressed the belief that another war at this time would bring even more surprising tests. "The results of these tests represent an accurate sample of the adult male mind of America," he asserted. "and they show that only 12 per cent are of superior or very superior intelligence, while 24 per cent are very dull, feeble minded, or on the border line." Where Highbrows Lurk Members of the superior class pro-dominate among army officers, college trained persons, newspaper men, professional men and others capable of public leadership, and in the other class are to be found many of the defectives and dependents and the disproportionate percentage of social offenders. "The defective classes are multi-plying more rapidly than those of higher levels." Prof. Kingsbury said. "They transmit their defects either through heredity or bad social environment, to their offspring and thus become a large and increasing social menace."

And Our Public Officials: Prof. Kingsbury declared these figures disclose a crying need for higher intelligence standards, especially in a democracy, since democracy deals with ideas and principles, and general intelligence, as measured by tests, has to do with the capacity for dealing with ideas. But "dumbness" is not confined to voters, according to Prof. Kingsbury, who slammed public officials thus: "Iff public officials were compelled to give positive evidence of superior mental capacity before their induction into office, our city hall, our state capital, and even the halls of congress would present different complexions."
