watch it in its evolution, but he has,
at least. found out that there is evo-
luton among plants, and that they,
like us, seem to be struggling towards
an impr vement of their kind, as we'll
as to reproduce. Maeterlinck believes
that the plants have themselves CROPPED
their way towards their present devel-
opment because they have made so
many mistakes. If they we're ruled
just by higher law, they would not
make these mistakes. He says: 'They
have the same laws, the same disillu-
sions, the same slow trlumphs that we
have. They would appear to pos
sess our patience, our perseverance,
our self-love, the same varied and d.
verSified intelligence, almost the same
hopes, and the same ideals. They
struggle, like ourselves, against a
great Indifferent force that ends by
assisting them. Their inventive i'm
agination not only follows the same
prudent and minute methods, the same
firing, narrow and winding little
paths; it also has unexpected leaps
and bounds that suddenly fix definite
ly upon an uncertain discovery"

other. This latter shows a higher
variety of plant life, and one that has
reached a much higher degree of intel
ligence. Long ago the plants seemed
to discover that Standardization
caused the plants to wither and die.
Every plant, before it can produce its
seed, must be fertilized by the pollen
from a plant of its own kind. Every
flower, then, is bending all it's energies
toward distributing its pollen to an
other plant, or to attract the insect
that will bring the precious pollen to
itself. If q flower is beautiful and
fragrant, and holds honey in it's cup,
it is only to attract the bee or ant, or
some other insect. The bee comes,
sips the honey, and, in doing so, in
variably carries away the pollen.
This is no haphazard chance. The
honey bag is always so situated that
the insect cannot reach it without, in
some way, loosening a tiny spring
that deposits the pollen on it's wings
or body, The insect then flies to an
other flower, and, in reaching for the
honey, not only gathers more pollen,
but deposits that which he carried
from the first flower. ....
The study of the mecn anlsm of flow
err and the devices by which it assures
the distribution of its pollen is al
most unbelievable. We think of a
flower as an unintelligible bit of silky
texture. But it has been discovered
by research and study under the mi

SCHOOL TEACHERS SCORED
Legislative Committee Tells of Its
Investigation of SO.Called
Book Combine.
Teachers and Book Dealers Alike
Come in for Criticism.

Early in the present session of the
Minnesota legislature a committee
was appointed by the house to in
vestigate the alleged unlawful opera
tons of the so-called book trust in
this state.
This committee had as its chairman
Elmer Adams of Fergus Falls, and
Representative Pfaender of this city
was prominent member.
The committee reports, after weeks
of investigation, that it did not obtain
any evidence that would show the
actual existence of a combination be-
tween all the book concerns doing
business in the state, but it did dis
| cover that strong community of
interests exists between the American
Book company and the teachers. In
this connection the committee says:
''Your committee is of the opinion
that the national and state educa-
tional associations are largely inhu-
enced by the textbook companies.
Their representatives are always
present in large numbers. aiding and
assisting those who are friendly to
their publications and so shaping the
action of the bodies that, while they
fail to secure commentator they
prevent criticism which might under
other circumstances be administered. y
It makes the further charge that the
school book companies, particularly
the American Book company, par
ticipate in school elections and do
everything possible to place the
teachers and the educational associa-
tioDs under obligations to them.
Teachers in the country, the
committee says, are underpaid, and,
as a result, the struggle to live is a
hard one. They are a nomadic class,
without a fixed habitation, and, as
they rarely own home and are moi
on the tax rolls, their interest in the
community and the state is small
Consequently, the committe says, these
teachers are fine field for the book
companies, and the results are seer
in increased book sales and the Sc
lection of works of authors controlled
by those companies with which the
teachers have become more or les:
affiliated.
The committee suggests no way o
stopping the practice and conclude:
that 'swhile publishing concerns re
main potential in associations O
educational men, for selfish purposes
the associations are certainly not fire,
to DO that which is best for the caus,
OF education which they represent
and ought to free themselves iron
this evil.''

AS partial remedy, however, it
suggests that q law be passed for

certificate.
It also recommends that the law re-
quiring the fling of sample copies of
school books with the state be en-
forced; that list prices of books be
published each year; that publishers
be required to sell books as cheaply
in Minnesota as in other states; and
tn at no trivial changes be made in
books so as to allow any evasion of
the law.
In order to compel such reforms, it
is recommended that every publisher,
doing business in the state, be re-
quired to file with the state superin-
tendent a bond.

Strange Things About Plants
Wonderfully Interesting Facts Cleaned From Scenti
fc Investigation.
fc Investigation.

Perhaps not more than one person
out of a hundred realizes how close a
connection there is between plant and
animal life. We all know that we
could not live without our plants, be-
cause every living animal, insect, rep
tile, fish Or fowl, gets it's food either
directly or indirectly from the plants.
A cat may not eat grains or grasses,
but it feeds on the birds who do. The
plants take from the soil the minerals
that are necessary to our existence,
and without (which we should immed
lately perish. All our food comes
from the soil, of course, but without
the agency of the plants we could not
assimilate this food, nor could we
ourselves, with all our boosted intel
ligence, take from the rocks those min
erals and substances which the plants
do take and do give to us. Plants,
though rooted to the ground, and un-
able to move from their birthplace,
are, in many other respects, very much
like human beings. They breathe,
they eat, they drink, they grow and
die, and reproduce, just as we do.
And many scientists believe that the
plants and flowers have feelings and
reasoning powers just as human
beings have.
Whether God spoke first to man
in the Garden of Eden many doubt,
but that the. command to increase and
multiply was given to every living
thing by the great law that rules us,
no one can doubt. And it is the plants
who have'obeyed this law most faith
fully, and who have bent all their Ell
ergies and intelligences, or whatever
we may call it, to reproducing their
kind, and to spreading and blossom.
ing upon the earth. Every thought OF
the plant, or the law that rules plant
life, has been to increase and multiply
: not to grow beautiful, OF to grow
free, or to grow tall; a plants ambi
ton is only to produce it's seeds ant
to drop them where they might grow
and flourish. Certainly that is {
beautiful ideal, and higher idea
than any of the animal kingdom has
held constantly in view.

in one flower, but in other varietie!
