RcalZlDE now ldrO IL IS IOT man

Now men. before this issue Of The

given Thursday night by President
Tyler. DR.. Tyler took as his sub
ject Student Life at William and

IN older days and showed thorough
knowledge of his subject. From
DR.. Tyler's lecture it is evident that
be students in days gone By were
even worse than they are at present,
which is saying a great deal, they
must have kept this old town in a

think myself that what, as much
as anything else. laid the foundation
of the American voice was the nerv-

MARRIED IN SALT LAKE TODAY.

Married today at high noon in Salt
Lake city. Mr.. Ernest Jepson, pro-
prietor of the Modern barber shop OF
this city, and Miss Laura Van Ber-
gon. formerly of this city but later Of
Salt Lake City.
The announcement OF this happy
event will cause not a little surprise
among the many friends of both Of
the young people here, who had not
anticipated the wedding.
Mr.. Jepson left day or two ago
for Salt Lake City. to take $50 he
stated a short vaction: but it devel-
ops later that his purpose was fore
most to take for his wife a very beau
tiful and popular young lady, and
that a few weeks rest from his bust
ness in Grand Junction was a sec
ondary consideration
II is not known when they will re-
turn, as Mr.. Jepson did not to any
great extent make known his plans,
even to his partner, j. w Boone, who
was as much surprised as the rest of
the boys of the shop when the word
was received.

THE CHILD RACE"
AND THE SCHOOLS
IRy Associated Press. ]

Denver. July 6.-'.The school life
of white children is less adapted to
fit them TO meet the conditions of the
white mans world than is the best
type of school life enjoyed by the So
called child race. because schools for
white children aim mainly to develop
scholars. while schools for colored
children, aim to develop useful man
hood through essential training for
the white mans world" This was
the declaration of Charles Bartlett
Dyke, Head Master in the State Pre-
paratory School. Boulder. Colo, in
his address at the convention of the
National Education association today.
Mr.. Dyke said that today American
are attempting to educate every race
under the sun, with extremely limited
knowledge of race differences and
race possibilities "One school of
theorists" said he, demands identi-
cal education for all, in conformity
with that equality postulated by the
Declaration of Independence. An
other school pleads for the develop
ment of the BEST in the Indian. the
Negro. Filipino. the Hawaiian, in
stead of his comparison into a poor
white man.
Such a sociological laboratory as
Hawaii. with its variety of race types,
affords opportunity to discover what
racial traits are inborn, and how they
may be inherited or fostered by edu-
cation. Our Kamehameha Schools in
Honolulu showed youths with like
environment and privileges ruled
largely by the impulses of their Ha-
waiian or Caucasian or Mongolian
blood
"A fundamental race difference is
in the point at which intellectual de-
velopment is arrested. The mass of
the child race cease to grow intel
lectually much earlier than the mass
of Caucasians. II is absurd to theor-
ize about the propriety of college
education for the mass of Negroes or
Indians or Filipinos or Hawaiians.
They lack the intellect to acquire it.
This is true to a smaller extent
of the mass of Caucasions. The
scholar is the flower of civilization,
born. rather than made. When We
get a scholar, we do not know what
to do with him. And yet the curricula
of our schools provide mainly for the
development of scholars
Much more wisdom is shown in
the best schools for other races which
are being fitted to exist in the white
mans world. The rearing of chill
dren of any race. while demanding
Improvement of conditions. demands
also preparation to meet existing con
ditions. The white mans world is
dominated by knowledge of natural
law, obedience to social control, de-
liverance from malevolent deities and
the ideals of democracy. Essentials
in the education of any child, there
fore, are nature study in its broad
est sense: home arts and industries
eliminating in vocational training
moral regulation of personal and So
cial life, and such aesthetics as make
for personal happiness and self re-
spect."

GOOD JOKE ON THE OFFICERS.
Long and Stern Chase of College Stu.
dents That Ended In Something
of a Fiasco.

Once in a college town, the rumor
that students were carrying concealed
weap.ns reached the ears of the local
police. Their chief at once issued strin-
gent orders that the heinous practice
should he stopped
In this particular college town the
students were no different from stu
dents the world over; in other words
they dearly loved to bother the police
to the best of their ability SO one day
a group OF them nonchalantly passed n
policeman. and one of the students. il
so doing put his hand to his hip poc,;-
ct Then, as il recollectins himself in
time he hastily withdrew 1t and looked
sheepishlyi at the policeman.
What have you In that pocket?" the
latter asked sternly.
instead of answering the student
and all his companions, as IL panic.
stricken, started to yum Immediately
the policeman blew his whistle. sum.
moned several of his companions. and
started after the group. After a con
siderable chase in the course of which
the policemen We're badly winded and
reused TO great pitch of anger all
the students were cornered and sum
marily ordered TO deliver mp what
ever they had in their hip pockets
Meekly they obeyed Each one car
ried corncob The remarks of
the policemen cannot possibly be re.
corded.
