Man and the Crowd.

An address once made by President
Schurman to the graduating class at
Cornell was an eloquent appeal for
the individual against the crowd.
Would you abolish poverty, would
you advance civilization" he asked.
Then educate individuals one by one
TO be more virtuous, more intelligent,
more skillful. more industrious"
Upon the soundness OF the plee
there will be general agreement. 1t

ophy of Jesus that each man should
take care of his own soul But 1t Is o

Still. the creed lie a good one to
teach. IL can never be taught too
often. Better than all laws against
vice and crime and folly is an inn.
pulse toward self-reform. And per
haps such an impulse WAS never more
needed than now, for never was the
voice of the crowd more clamorous
nor the influence of the crowd more

THESE ARE YOUR ANCESTORS
When One Considers Their Vast Mum.
Der Pride Of Descent Seems Very
Foolish.

Are you proud of your ancestors?
OF how many Of them?
Since the beginning of the Chris
tan era-a mere 1911 years-you have
had 139, 235, OF, 4S9, 5S4, 976 ancestors.
Imagine, If you can, how many per-
sons were rGeded since the beginning
of the world to bring you forth-you,
who are reading this now. 1t works
the other way, too II a single cou-
pie had started 5000 years ago to pop
ulate the world, and everybody had
grown to maturity and married at the
age Of 81, the earth's population would
be 2,199,915, followed by IA ciphers.
However, this world would not hold
them all; 1t would not be large enough
To give all these people breathing
space the size Of the world would
have to be multiplied by 3,166,526, fol-
lowed by 125 ciphers. That is the
only way in which these enormous
numbers can be expressed.
How futile, then, Is ancestor wor-
ship! Every one of us, high or low,
has had in his ancestry kings and
peasants, criminals and saints; it is
almost impossible to name any one
Of ones own race to whom one can
not prove in some way . remote relar
tionship.

STANLEY HOPES
FOR new BRANCH
ARRIVAL OF ENGINEER REEVES
BELIEF THAT LINE WILL
BE CONSTRUCTED

Stanley, N. ID, July &C. Stanley
has not yet given up the hope OF Sc
curing the construction of the Stanley
to Powers Lake branch Of the Great
Northern, the arrival this week of the
engineer In charge, G. III. Hickman,
has revived the local hope. 1t is de-
clared that the contract for the work
is held by A. Guthrie & Co of st.
Paul and that crew of $50 men viii
be shipped here this week to commence
operations Some material has also
been unloaded here, including ties and
rail- and there is every indication that
the line will be completed early.
Mr.. Hickman has opened an office
here and T. ]. Harrington, material
clerk; Arthur Sullivan, H. N. Peter
son and Alex Sullivan, members of the
chief surveying crew are also here.
1t Is not definitely known yet just
how far the line will be built this
year, but it is not expected that 1t
will be constructed any further than
Powers Lake, although there are plans
under way which will extend the line
into Montana later. BY the end of
this week complete operations will be
in progress.

ONCE THE EXECUTIVE HOME
This House Was Occupied by Pres

Sacked Washington.

When the British army sacked
Washington and burned the White
House in 1914, the "Octagon House"
became the temporary executive man
sion and was occupied as such, by
President Madison and his family. The
president had his ONCE In the circus

The "Octagon House" was built al

the Nation. He persuaded Col. John
Taylor, Of Virginia, then very rich
man, to build his winter residence in

NO CAUSE FOR GREAT ALARM
Large Number Of Defective School
Children an Old Phenomenon,
Now More Evident.

The enormous number Of defective
school children should not alarm us
too greatly. Bad as Il all is, there is
plenty of evidence that it is an old,
old phenome nona old indeed as
man himself--but now more evident
because there are more people. 1t Ia
less In rural districts. though still
present and as the population is now
largely urban, 1t As quite natural that
the proportion of detectives should
Increase, though as a matter of fact
there Ia no evidence that 1t has, Big
cities are modern affairs and that is
why their phenomena are being dis
covered, but the accounts OF London
some centuries ago showed a deplor-
able number OF detectives, probably
far greater in proportion thaA1 in New
York now Though It is appalling
that there should be nearly quarter
mlliion diseased school children, yet
the defects are of mi3or things, while
formerly they were severe. The seat
OF most of the trouble is said to btV
malnutrition, but 1t is not nearly so
bad as In European cities Of the last
century. That is, the new facts must
not cause undue pessimism, but rath-
er the reverse, for they show that
though there is an immense proven
tive work ahead of us, the progress
made in a century or even half CEN
fury has been enormous. Optimism
is in place, even If we are sure that
perfection is unattainable Moreover,
our preventive work is rapidly becom-
ing more and more efficient now that
we are learning the exact conditions
and their causes.-American Medi-
