Certainly Every one knows, and teach

1t is the foundation of good citizenship

fact. children DO very little independent

Here the three evil acts are alike and the
juvenile intellect governs itself accordingly.
After they are fourteen years old. however
children begin to apply principles to their
conduct to see the analogy between facts
and events, and to reason broadly and not
restrictedly. The teaching Of to-day, no
matter what persons outside Of the school
houses may say, tries TO develop the think
ing faculty that the pupils may become
good mon and women. Moreover, there is
better thinking in this age than there ever

It Was Fought Some Ten
Thousand Centuries Ago
and the Contestants Were
Two Mastodons.

~ATIFORNIA las seen some excite

" greatest battle OF al from scien-
tidc point of view happened about ihlii-

.,..o,,. citv Er1its of Los Angeles. Inc

terrible whose like does not exist III 'he
world TODAY. Among them the rhinoceros
would look small and the elephant seem
Inward animal. No human spectators
had the fortune TO witness. or perhaps
rather. the intelligence to appreciate the
beauties of that contest or series oil con-
tests. but now an army of fight fans Is
busiIv looking up the records of what was
undoubtedly "the greatest mill ON earth.
Hv records must not be understood the
.uorting columns or ANYTHING like that' De
cause Man. at the time, had not risen to
the dignity of newspapers. He lived in a
cave and climbed trees for his tood. Inc
records consist Of bones embedded in an
asphalt pit part Of the so-called Brea
/ axe. which is an oil producing ranch. The
fight fans. school children, collegians and
gray scientists, enthusiastically pick out
the bones and arrange them and read
story which is hardly less accurate than
the account Of eyewitnesses. Nobody saw
the lighting. but here are the bones, which
do not lie They lie, of course, in certain
way and thereby testify to the facts.
Let us forget Los Angeles the automobile

digging. forget oil bonanZas, aeroplanes
and the rest of civilization. We are back

At this period California was not the

Ocean did not exist; at least there was
substantial causeway between Africa Asia

was a winter resort Of the old world beasts.

HELP BOYS INTO TRADES.

No AS now conducted, high schools
are helping boys into trades. We are get
ting away from the classical method ot
education and are establishing manual
training schools. and in some places schools
of agriculture. We are following Festd-
lozzi. the Swiss founder Of a new school,
whose purpose was to train the Whole
man. \ half century ago men worked
either with their hands or brains. Law
yers. preachers physicians. editors booN
writer's and statesmen educated their sons.
They all talked for a living In one way
or another. Doctors had TO talk with the
rest. because medicine then was so un-
scientific that conversation was thought
TO be efficacious in the sick room
!. "Tt was believed that Greek, Latin and
the classics developed the graces OF oratory
and familiar discourse. So they were
taught at our colleges academies and hisn
schools An educated person was not sup
posed to work at anything that would soil
his shirt or collar. Manual labor was not
actually dishOnorable. but il was no more
than respectable. Thus we were nation
Of educated and uneducated men. And the
educated men, though few in number die
tated the courses Of study in the villages
towns and cities where they lived
To-day the national conception goes the
other way. A carpenter mailing shlnges
on a house is performing public Junction
The farmer is helping to clothe and feed the
country The merchant IS bringing the pro-
ducer and consumer together. and there
fore is a benefactor. Talk is subordlnated
to action. Lawyers have become less fluent
