II all fast American trottlng horses

proof that spawn is not unsoundness.

IN a seHse difficult for Americans to
realize, and the spiritual power even
more than the secular is committed to
the Pan-Slavic idea.
We are apt to think Of Pan-slavlsm
as merely a political mOvement--as an
attempt to bring under Russian rule

Really It is a great deal more. It Is
revolt against the attempt to graft
foreign forms OF civilization upon Rus
sia. 1t is summed up in Aksakoffs s
famous words: 1T is time to go

that II was time for the slays to give
up trying TO initiate foreign ideas, go
back to the point from which Peter
the Great started, and develop a civili-
cation strictly and purely Russian. OF
course this does not involve the dis
carding Of foreign inventions in war

consolidating Country ScboofS.
An interesting experiment is being
made in the country schools Of Iowa
the result OF which will be looked for
anxiously by other communities. What
the educators hope TO accomplish is
the abolition Of the little white school
houses which dot the hills Of that
dourishing state. The idea is one Of
economy, and II would seem that the
plan II carried out successfully would
result in great saving to the tax
payers. Il has been found that in
Iowa as elsewhere there are in tie
country districts too many school
buildings and teachers for the popu-
lation and that in many places the cost
Of educating the pupils was much
greater than it should be.
AS a trial a central school has been
built in each OF about ffty townships.
and all the little district schools done
away with. transportation is fur
nished for pupils living at remote dis
tances and the teachers, in reduced
numbers, are gathered in the main
school. The cost OF transportation Is
said to be only $50 a month for each
township. which seems a ridiculously
small sum. and the plan has proved so
far as the experiment goes a great
success.

II has long been a disputed question
whether America was peopled from
Asia. The chief argument against the
theory that man made his approach
to this continent across Bering strai.
has been the lack Of resemblance in
culture between the aborigines OF this
country and tie known races Of Asia.
This may be accounted for. a Washing
ton scientist maintains, by the fact
that all the Asiatic arts and customs
would IN the course Of generations
have been frozen out Of any migratory
peoples in their getting around Bering
strait AS the tribes moved northward
they would lose the characteristics Of
their life, one after another, notably
agriculture and domestic animals. until
finally. pressing near the polar circle
their whole energies would be absorbed
in finding food and keeping warm.
With his culture thus frozen out. ac-
cording to this theory. early man
crossed Bering strait. and as he moved
southward on this continent developed
improved ways Of living, but after such
a long interval Of time that the new
customs we're entirely distinct from
those Of Asia
