THINKS UNDERSTANDING OF
ENVIRONMENT THEORY USEFUL

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15.-[Editor
Herald. While I agree that we have
perhaps had enough, for some time at
least of this "environment" talk. which
NAV well be left now to soak In" /
still must deprecate the attitude to-
ward the question of those who have
alluded to 1t as negligible or not worth
while" 1t is for a surety only as
we come to grasp the true bearings
upon humanity of its environments
that we shall become genuinely fitted
to discuss practical issues.

TO CORRESPONDENTS - Beginning
Thursday, September II, all letters to this
department exceeding 800 words will be re-
jected. All letters exceeding that length
remaining hand at that date will be re-
jected. The controversy over heredity and
environment has been SO exhaustiveiy
threshed out that probably good purpose
can be served by its further discussion at
this time. After September II the contro-
versy will be considered closed.-Edltor.

If Mr.. Lucky Baldwin and others
really suggested to the unhappy George
Blair Purvis that he should claim ILL
nois as his birthplace instead of Eng
Baldwin and others for Mr.. Purvis. To
be sure it may be fiattering to Illinois
that a foreign-born citizen should be
so eager to claim the big state as his
cradle home that he is willing to risk
perjury.

REVEALED HOARD IN A DREAM

Miss Lucy Alvord, of Taylortown,
N. j., told her brother Claude on
Sunday morning that her grand
father, who died in 1897, came to her
in a dream the night before, and
although she had never seen a pic
ture of him she recognized him from
her mothers description. He was
middle-aged and wore a beard. In
the dream he seemed to shake Miss
Alvord and arouse her. She stared at
him, but he indicated silence and
motioned her to follow him.
She followed him into the kitchen
of the house, wing that was built
long before the Revolution. The
house itself has been occupied by the
Alvord family for five generations.
Stepping to the north side of the
great room the man opened the iron
door of the brick oven alongside the
fireplace. He stepped inside the big
oven and reappeared with stone
Jar which he set on the table in the
middle of the room. He then
seemed perfectly natural. He dug
his hands into the crock and brought
them out filled with gold pieces. He
emptied the crock on the table and
began to stack and count the money.
He made separate stacks of English
and American coins and of the diff
ferent denominations. He made fig

A GOOD LESSON FOR BEN.

He did not look in the least like
a baby as he started Off to Sunday
school in his trim blue suit and white
necktie, and he did not feel like a
baby either. Why should he, when
he had been going to school for two
wears and had brought home a good
report card every month out of that
time?
But there was mischievous spirit
in Ben that morning. He did not
sing with the rest of the school,
though his teacher found the place
in the hymn-book for him. He took
no part in the opening exercises, and
the lesson was hardly begun before
he started to whisper long story to
Herbert Joyce.
The patient teacher reproved him
gently, and tried to interest him in
what she was saying, but Ben would
not be interested. He kept on talk
ing, till the other boys could not
pay good attention to their lessons,
and it seemed as if the hour was like
ly TO be wasted.
Just then the superintendent
passed, and the teacher spoke to him.
"Mr. Berry, what do you suppose can
be the trouble with a boy who viii
not listen to the lesson and will not
let the other boys listen either?'
The superintendent looked at Ben.
eff a boy acts in that way" he said,
after a minute, 81 think it must be
because he is not quite old enough
to have learned how to behave in a
class like this. l know better place
for him."
He took the astonished Ben by the
