NATALITY STA TISTICS,
Some FaIIncies regarding EducaHEh,
Among Classes shown by a
Medical Writer.

| According to the frequently quoted
| figures of President Eliot. % per cent
Of the surviving members of the Har
ward classes, ~ to ~ inclusive, are
unmarried, and those that are mar
ried have only two living children.
| The net result is a decrease of %
| per cent. The interest in these fig
ures seems to be based upon an alb
surd fear that this is really an indi-
cation of race suicide" and that the
educated classes must reproduce
| their kind or fearful consequences
are TO follow. But surely we now
have thousands of educated men
where were formerly tens, ard hence
the present educated classes are not
the children of the former educated
classes, says American Medicine.
Then what is the object, evolution
airy and social. of education in q
democracy? TO make rigid caste
system of the educated, or to bring
the uneducated up into the condition
of the educated? 1t would appear
that republican form of society
should avoid any particular attempt
at encouraging, and certainly any
worry over the failure of, the edu-
Gated TO reproduce their kind, and be
glad that the spreading of culture Is
such that the ignorant are progress
lively securing the benefits Of educa-
ton. 1t should not be forgotten that
socialism and individualism have also
word to say as to the general 1ltil-
ity of a too numerous educated or
leisure class. The economic aspect is
emphasized that such persons are
largely directive and, to use harsh.
phrase, parasitic. and must be fed
and housed and supplied with leisure
and luxury at the expense of the
workers.
Lastly. it should be noticed that
education" is by no means confined
to college learning. Many Of our
best-educated men have not been. and
still are not, college bred. and the
fittest is by no means always the cdu-
Gated. Tt is a well-knOwn fact that
those plants and animals most poorly
adapted by nature and environment
to protect their offspring produce the
largest number, and the converse is
equally true. applying not only to
lower organisms, but to mankind as
well. The survival of the fittest and
the wiping out of the unfit has the
effect of overcoming apparent dan
gers attaching to a low birth rate
among the physically. mentally and
morally competent members of So
cietv. What is needed is not AN" in
crease in the size of the family
among the competent and well-tO-do,
but more intelligent and far-reach-
ing efforts so to modify the ccrdi-
tions of the now submerged classes
that they may become better off anc
competent TO increase in numbers.
While such increase will carry with
it a corresponding restriction i'll the
number of offspring. it will also
mean the survival of a greater per-
centage of efficient and desirable cit
liens. Real race suicide is taking
place among the ignorant, the dis
eased, the pauperized, the depraved.
and the insane, despite their fecun-
1itv.

The Mock Trial
By PHILIP MANILA.

IT ARRISON was hunting all over the
the ship to get some pieces of old
rope to tear into strands and out of
which to manufacture a beautiful
blond wig of long, wavy tresses.
The ship was three days out of Homo
lulu and still eight days from Japan,
and, according to all time hOnored Gus
toms and traditions the psychological
moment had arrived for the mock trial
in the salon after dinner that night.
Harrison had worked all day fixing up
a case. He had picked La Verne as the
proper victim for the defendant. La
Verne was tall and dark, with black
eyes and mustache, and Harrison
thought he would make fine defend
ant for either breach of promise case
or wife desertion. He was popular
with the women on board, considered
the prince Of good fellows in the smok-
ing room, and altogether what Har-
risOn termed a bright and shining
mark" DR.. Martin, a young dentist
going out to Shanghai, was to be the
lady in the case whose deepest, truest
and sincerest affections had been torn
into tatters by the designing La Verne.
DR.. Martin was slight in figure, with a
smooth, girlsh face. and Harrison de-
cided that if he were dressed in one
of the stewardess' dresses and adorned
with the blond wig he would make an
extremely dashing and lovely plaintiff,
calculated to arouse the tears of the
sternest juries.
That night after dinner the Japan
csc sailors and the Chinese walters
ceased glazing at each other long
enough to move the tables around and
arrange the salon to look like a court.
Then the passengers who were not to
take part in the trial except as audi
ence came trailing in and took their
seats, whispering excitedly as to what
u good joke this was on dear Mr.. La
Verne and how much fun it would all
be. and who in the world was to be the
plaintiff.
Old Mrs. Muttsford, who was the
ncwsiest and busiest little woman on
the ship, whispered to everybody with
III reach that the case against Mr.. La
Nerne was to be for desertion and non

Too Much of Good Thing.

Farmers generally are careful not
to work their teams too hard, but
to- give them rest so they will be
fresh and lively next morning. But
some farmers do not treat themselves
as well as they do their mules. says
Farm and Ranch. They work hard
all day and finish by the dim light
of a lantern: and they are so tired
they must go to bed. and to sleep.
The result is they are worn out and

BASEBALL
HOT SLUGGING BEE
Thirty Hits Are Recorded in First
Game Between Millers
and Blues.
Millers Could Have Won Had St..
Vrain Retired Earlier in
the Game.

# the baseball rules provided for the
scoring of errors OF Judgment, Manager
Wilmot would have large black mark
coming. Had Wilmot ordered ST. Vrain
to the stable after the fifth inning, when
the blues were landing freely on the stocky
southpaw's shoots, the millers would have
won. The score then stood to 3 in favor
of Kansas City. Perhaps Wilmot thought
the game was lost in any event: perhaps
he thought st. Vrain would steady. In
either case he was entitled to another
guess
ST. vrain didn't steady down. He let
the blues bat out three earned runs In the
seventh, and in the eighth they simply
slaughtered his shoots. After three nits
and three runs had been marked up in
this round, Rothfuss swatted the bail with
such force that before ST. Vrain could get
out of the way the sphere landed on his
ankle and put him out Of the game.
Thomas went in, and after one more run
came in the scoring stopped.
Even with that ten-ruri handicap
against them the millers made a strenuous
effort to tie the score in their half Of the
eighth. Vasbinder flied to McAndrews.
but Nance juggled McIntyres grounder,
and Thomas hit safe. Oyler forced Thomas
at second, but Lally singled, scoring Nc
Intyre and McCreery drove in Oyler and
Lally with a long three Dagger. That put
Durham in the air. and he passed Yeager
and Wilmot, filing the sacks. Martin, the
new second DdSenlan, now lldQ d CIldTC6
to win fame. and he made good, clearing
the bases by a screening two sacker.
Vasbinder made the third out, and the net
result of the round was six runs, enough
to have won the game had St. Vrain been
chased off the diamond a little earlier.
The mill was one of the fiercest smuggling
tests seen at Nicollet park in many moons.
The millers hit Durham hard enough to
win any ordinary game making thirteen
hits for a total of seventeen bases but
the blues got to ST. Vrain and Thomas for
seventeen clouts, for a total of twenty
seven bases. La1y led the millers at the
bat with four hits out Of six times up.
The millers also played a fast game in
the field and on the sacks. In both these
departments of the game they slightly out
played the blues, altho Vasbinder did some
ragged work at first Vesbinder wanted
to cover too much ground and he made
a botch of several hits which Martin
could have handled without difficulty.
The new second basen1an made good in
no doubtful manner. He accepted six
chances, some Of which were quite diff
cult, and in the eighth he drove in three
runs by a long hit. In the fourth he
caught a bad throw from Yeager and re-
turned the ball to the plate in time to catch
Knoll trying to steal from third. The
fielding Of Oyler and Mcintyre also was
brilliant Mcintyre has taken a decided
brace, and yesterday he drew applause
from the stands by several fast plays.
The score:
