Years ago an American minister
to one of the European powers was
blessed with pretty daughter,
whose charms wrought much havoc
in the rank and file of the young
men who met her.
She was sweet and gracious to all,
but her heart, as well as her wit, be-
longed to her native land. One day
her father found her at her desk
knitting her brows over letter. =.
whats the matter, my dear?"
he asked, patting her shoulder affec-
tionately.
"Oh, l have to write another de-
clension, father" she responded,

Shall We 80 7nr;joass

1t is perhaps pr"a"mptuous fo1
ordinary mortals t" dispute an ex-
pectation of professor of anthro-
pology in the University of Chicago
but when DIR. Frederick Starr, of
that institution. launches the
opinion that the physical environ
ment of the North American con-
tinent will make us, our heirs and
assigns, all red Indians after
awhile, the hour for presumption
has arrived. He has measured the
cheek bones of 5000 Pennsylvania
Dutch children, and has found
lengthening faces, hcigh' cuing ch, elk
bones and general tendency to-
ward the reproduction Of aboriginal
features. Moreover, he says the
French of Paris distinguish Ameri
cans from Englishmen already 10y
the resemblance of the former to In
dams, with whom the French are,
of course, intimately acquainted.
1t has been supposed by the rest
of us who are unenlightened by the
special brand Of scientific environ
ment taught in the University OF
Chicago, that artificial environment
tended continually to overcome the
impress of natural surroundings.
The continual advance Of the Amer
lean people toward Il higher civiliza-
ton, with it's accompanying power
of developing rounded and normal
character and multiplying its op-
portunities through better wages for
labor, better homes. better schools
and better conditions OF every kind,
must necessarily bring about il pro-
found modification of the aboriginal
type. The great diversity of races
and climates to be found in the
United States makes any generali-
zation from a single race type to
another single race type decidedly
imperfect.
