5. The army intelligence tests showed that our white drafted army
contained 12 per cent. superior men, 66 per cent. average men,
and 22 per cent. inferior men. This statement, made by Cornelia
J. Cannon in _The Atlantic Monthly_ of February, 1922, leads
the author of the article to the conclusion that "our political
experiments, such as representation, recall, direct election of
senators, etc., are endangered by the presence of so many
irresponsible and unintelligent voters." Is there a remedy for
this, other than waiting for the slow process of education? If
so, what is it?
6. _The Neighborhood: A Study of Social Life in the City of
Columbus, Ohio_, by R.D. McKenzie, of the University of
Washington, gives a good example of what such a study of one's
own locality should be. Is it not the duty of those having the
leisure and the ability to inaugurate such a study in the
locality in which their political relation is most immediate?
If so, how can a Women's Club, or a League of Women Voters,
start such a study?
