Ntiildi university 1T Las Ntkasf was
the other speaker Of the evening. and
he gave an illustrated lecture on the
prehistoric civilization OF New Mexi-
co. He brought out the idea hat there
was only one prehistoric civilization
on the western continent. that the civ
llizatlon OF the elf dwellar, the
mound builder and the Aztec were re-
lated, IL not Identical. He showed pic
lures Of the ancient cave dwellings.
and the more recent clif dwellings
west OF Santa Fe, as well as OF pho
tographs which nay been engraved
on the walls OF the cliffs. One OF these
Is remarkable because II suggests the
legend OF Montezuma starting from
Pecos ON the back of AN eagle 10 Mex
leo. Mr.. Hewett referred to the arch
,aologic, the historic and art treasures
chat are to be found in and around
Santa Re, and suggested that a cata-
logue be made OF the rare old paintings
oc Italian masters OF the thirteenth
century. which are to be found in San
"a Fe. He described the causes which
led to the arrest OF development OF the
Pueblo Indians and OF the Aztecs. who
were on the verge OF civilization when
he coming OF the Spaniard put an end
10 their creative power. He pointed
to the fact that In each child Ia am
bodied the history OF his ancestors.
and that perhaps the inclination OF
nearly all children to burrow In the
sand. to build mounds and caves In
sandhills Is identical with the impulse
that led prehistoric man to build cave
and cliff dwellings, Many OF the
structures erected by the clin dwellers
were not built to be occupied. but were
created for the mere love OF the work
Of building, for the country round
about the cliff dwellings could not pos

ton which must have existed II all the
elm dwellings and communal build
ings had been occupied contemporary

point that as long as mans creative
power Is active. and even destruction

he grows and advances. but when this
creative power or desire dies. as It
threatens to do among the Pueblo In
dains. among whom II Is visibly declin-
ing, then the individual or the race re-
trcgrades. Mr.. Hewett cast new light

eopticon pictures made from photo

discoveries that he has made In the

THURSDAY AFTERNOON SESSION
Thursday afternoon the principal
subject OF discussion was The Morals
Of the Child" The discussion was

| spoke clearly on ITO What Extent In
| the school Resconsible7" Prof. T.. p.
| Childs spoke on ITO What Extent IL
he Home Responsible?" He said that
education is only character building,
and begins at birth; therefore. the in
1uence of the home on moral develop
mcnt cannot be over-estimated. The
responsibility OF the home begins in
the physical condition OF the child.
The home should provide proper food
and teach the gospel Of repose. Above
all in physical elements parents should
teach the sacredness of the body as
the temple of the soul. The solution
Of the social purity problem rests with
the home. The best books should be
accessible In the home, and the lesson
Of mental honesty n industry thor
oughly taught. Highest OF all respon-
sibili. les resting on the home In moral
training Is heart development. and
that must center about the family al
tar. The home responsibility must be
shared by mother and father. In too
