Shall We Buy Real Estate:
In discussing the question: 'Shall We
Buy Real Estate?'' the Commercial West
attributes the stagnation of realty dur
ing the past few years to over-platting
in boom times, and then goes on to say:
Because conditions in real estate have been
unfavorable for years, it does not follow that
they will continue for all time. A few
years back farm lands were dull without a
sign of the splendid advance in values that
was soon to be realized. Every acre Of farm
land in the west has increased in value a
parge percent within two years, and the
new level Of values will hold, allowing for
such exceptions as local conditions affecting
soils shall determine.
Within year there has been change for
the better in city property, especially bust
ness frontage. Values hrmer and there
are many choice Investments of this class be-
ing overlooked because of an impression that
there are but few opportunities in realty in
vestment. This impression, where it exists,
is wrong.
Take, for instance, the sale in Chicago a few
days ago OF a corner for 100000. No one
had thought Of a value like that, and Chica-
go was surprised. The lesson is that, if real
estate is we'll located in cities, no one need
fear for the outcome-it will be wanted at a
good price. Another instance is the recent
purchase of terminal property i'll Minneapo-
lis by the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & North
ern road. An important frontage was ac-

The MEMORY
Lecture by Prof. j. r. e. Woodbridge
mt Stanley Hall.

Lecture by Prof. j. f. E. Woodbridge
Mt Stanley Hall.
THE Psychological Aspect Of Memory"
was the subject of Professor J. F. E.
Woodbridge's second lecture on the gen
eral subject of psychology, at Stanley
| Hall last evening.
| He spoke of the conscious memory Of
man and the unconscious memory Of ma
ture. The first was susceptible Of unlim-
TIED development and advancement to a
certain point in life, when the things
learned last We're forgotten first, and sec
ond childhood recalled the earliest i'm
pressions of life. An important law of
memory was that of differentiation and
specialization. When person sought to
become proficient in swimming, piano
playing, dancing or other systematic
forms of exercise the memorizing Of GER
tain details was the important object to
be attained With practice the special
lied memory mastered the details, and
the central memory grappled with the
problem as a whole.
Professor Woodbridge concluded with a
quotation from Professor Herring:
The conscious memory Of man dies with
his death. The unconscious memory OF ma
ture is permanent and enduring The man
who has succeeded in making his impression
upon that will never die

Hence, while it is true that the cities are

Friendly Toward U. S.


/ want also to correct the erroneous i'm
preston in this country as to Spain's hos
tile attitude toward the United States There
is, in fact, a kindly feeling toward the United
States,an right apprehension of the motives
which induced this country to go to war. In
the case of Cuba, it was felt that, sooner or
later, the island must become a part Of this
country. Politics and the thought that other
European powers would intervene before the
two countries actually came to blows, were
largely responsible for an actual resort to
arms.
/ don't say that the United States will be
unable to govern the new possessions salts
factorily, but I do believe that it will be
many years before the Americanizing inf1u-
ence will really begin to make itself felt
The half-caste people OF the islands a
hard class to deal with, and only the wisest
administration Of internal affairs and a nice
sense OF diplomacy will achieve the desired
results.
That blood is stronger than water is shown
by the tact that many Mexcans, rich Cubans
and we'll men of Spanish blood in South
American countries have been bringing money
back to Spain for investment since the war.
! Old deserted mines have been reopened and
many new industries started.
Need Of Compulsory Education.
The chief trouble with Spain is the lack Of
compulsory education laws. That is why we
| have such a large percentage of illiterates
! to-day. Legislation is now in prospect which
will insist that every child in the kingdom
shall at least learn to read and write. That
! will be long step toward the new Spain of
| the twentieth century.
| Spain is taking lively interest in the ap-
preaching worlds fair at st. Louis, and I
expect to see some big exhibits from my
country. Considering the part which Spain
played in the discovery of the new world and
the early explorations Of the country en-
braced in the Louisiana purchase, it is felt
that Spain should be well represented at the
