Intelligence in
U. S. Declining
Birth Pattern Is Blamed by
Expert for Condition,
Quotes Commission.
WASHINGTON.— Possibility that
the intelligence of the American
people is declining has been dis
covered by population experts. That
this may be true is agreed to by
some top educational leaders.
They expect the president's com
mission on higher education to rec
ommend broadening of the whole
American education system to in
crease the quality and quantity of
national leadership.
But Guy Irving Burch of the Pop
ulation Reference bureau, a private
research organization, says the
most alarming threat to intelli
gence is the pattern of human re
production.
He quotes bureau of census fig
ures to show that parents with the
least mental and financial ability to
raise children produce twice as
many children as parents of highest
intelligence and income.
Studies in England for the royal
commission on population, he says,
suggest the number of feeble-mind
ed in England may double within
50 years and that there will be only
half as many "students of scholar
ship ability."
Fewer Good Students.
Dr. Francis Brown, staff associ
ate of the American Council on
Education and executive secretary
of the president's commission, says
he agrees with the population bu
reau that under present conditions
average American intelligence
seems to be declining.
But he says "this population-in
telligence report does not give
enough importance to the possibil
ity of improving intelligence by
education.
"It emphasizes the
plays in human intelligence. It im
plies that, because of the law of
heredity, in the majority of cases a
child will have about the same level
of intelligence as his parents. And
it also implies that because chil
dren are more numerous in the
poorer families the average of in
telligence is dropping to the danger
point.
"What it overlooks is this: Hu
man intelligence never has been de
veloped to its fullest among the
great masses of people. No way has
been found accurately to measure
the ultimate capabilities of the hu
man mind.
Seek More Schools.
"There are certain physical, emo
tional and intellectual capacities
that are limited by native intelli
gence, which is the capacity of the
mind to learn and create. These
capacities may be limited by he
redity.
"But what happens in developing
these inborn abilities determines
the level of intelligence a person
will reach.
"All indications are that there is
a tremendous reserve of human in
telligence that never has been de
veloped."
As for the educational situation.
President Truman suggested his
commission study ways and means
of expanding opportunities "for all
able young people."
Some studies indicate this would
mean increasing educational facili
ties, including schools, by one-third
"all along the line from primary
grades through college."
Several groups have recommend- 1
ed that the federal government pay
for the college training of "the best
high school scholars."
But opponents say this would
create an educational "elite" and
wouldn't substantially increase the
nation's reserve of top-level intelli
gence.
Super Speedway Envisioned
For Jet-Propelled Racers
DETROIT.—Plans for a super
speedway to accommodate 300-mile
an hour jet-propelled racers of the
future were revealed here by auto
motive designers who, in adapting
guided missile techniques for ground
transportation, foresee the day when
the reciprocating engine will be as
obsolete as the horse and buggy.
Details of the five million dollar
speedway, for which a site already
has been selected, were revealed
in Science and Mechanics magazine,
which reported that a Detroit cor
poration already has drawn plans
for an eight square mile track on
which each jet racer would hurtle at
airplane speed on his own ramp.
Designers of the jetway foresee its
use as a valuable testing ground for
military transportation experiments,
and say it will provide the incentive
the United States has long needed |
"to take the lead in promoting new
and better automotive designs."
Jet-Propelled Bicycle
Travels 25 Miles an Hour
DAYTON. — William Tenney and
Charles Marks claim to have de
signed the first jet-propelled bi
cycle.
Demonstrating their beltless,
chainless, gearless bike powered |
only by three tiny "dyna-jet" mo
tors developed for miniature air- |
craft, they have attained speeds of j
25 miles an hour and say the con-1
trivance is capable of even faster |
speeds.
The jet-propulsion features come |
from a series of tubular jet engines ;
mounted on the rear fender, with !
exhaust tank attached beneath. |
Ghosts of Scottish Kings
Wander on Hebrides Isle
Ghosts of Scottish kings wander
the tiny Hebrides isle of Iona, rising
from turbulent seas north of Ire
land. Iona became "the Westmins
ter of Scotland," says National Geo
graphic society, for 40 of Scotland's
rulers are buried there.
On the island, only one by three
miles in size, are the well-preserved
ruins of the Abbey church or cathe
dral, for which Norway has offered
new roofing timber. The site first
held an abbey built in 1203 by Regi
nald Macdonald, Lord of the isles.
The rugged, rock - bound isle,
swept treeless by fierce gales off
the Atlantic, is now the home of
about 250 persons. The one-street
village , is called Threld, but its
Gaelic name signified "the great
city." Many older people still speak
Gaelic. Here silversmiths
duce ancient Celtic designs.
In 563 Columba built on Iona his
monastery, later destroyed by
Norse invaders. Repeatedly recon
structed, it became a Benedictine
Order house about 1200. Ruins of
the nunnery include the chancel,
nave and parts of the vaulted roof
of the chapel. Its most recent tomb
is that of the prioress who died in
1543. The medieval convent's char
ter is preserved in the Vatican.
St. Oran's chapel in the cemetery
is Iona's oldest structure. With its
high gables, this 30 by 16 foot
chapel was built in the 11th century
on the original site of St. Columba's
church, the first Christian church of
Scotland. St. Oran was one of St.
Columba's missionaries.
Older than the chapel is St. Mar
tin's Cross, 14 feet high and orna
mented with sculptured figures.
Some consider Maclean's Cross still
older—possibly the oldest Christian
monument in Britain.

Garden and Lawn Control
Of Moles Recommended
Most gardens and lawns suffer
some damage by moles tunneling
crops,
ing unsightly washes. The common
moles feed largely on earthworms,
grubs, cutworms, beetles and other
harmful underground pests, and
only rarely do they eat com or
other planted seeds or bits of roots.
By feeding on harmful under
ground lawn and crop pests and by
stirring the soil moles would be de
cidedly beneficial, if they did not
at the same time damage crops
and lawns by their burrowing activ
ities. Where erosion is not serious,
moles may be beneficial in mead
ows, pastures and waste areas.
It is not easy to completely pro
tect a lawn or garden from moles,
but by using traps, hand destruc
tion, a mole-killing dog and strong
smelling repellents one can prevent
much of their damage.
Moles have a very keen sense of
smell and can be driven to other
feeding grounds by dropping moth
balls, chunks of carbide, crystals
of paradichlorobenzene or similar
chemicals through small holes
made in the surface of their runs.
Daily Use of Electron
When Sir J. J. Thomson discov
ered the electron 50 years ago, it
was given the name from the Greek
word for amber, because amber can
be electrified when rubbed with
wool. The electron has been an
elusive idea for more than 20 cen
turies. It remains somewhat elu
sive because, while it partakes of
some of the properties of a particle,
scientists are fairly sure that it is
not a hard little marble of matter.
It is the smallest element of an
atom, and bears a negative elec
trical charge. In recent years, a
positively charged counterpart,
called a positron, has been identi
fied. While the electron is an in
tangible tiny particle, scientists
know how to use electrons, and not
one day of our existence passes
without our using untold numbers of
electrons. Historically, the first
electronic tube was built and used
for scientific purposes by Sir
William Crookes in the 1870's.
