Triu nsphant America.

York. with regard to the changing of the
physical formation of children of immi-
grants born in this country, with particu-
lar reference to the skull Is vigorously
combated by Dr. Theodore Henckels. for
merly connected with Harvard and Cor
nell universities and other high educa-
tional institutions in this country and
abroad.
THE Investigations carried under
the direction of Prof. Boas.'' said DIR.
Henckels. were made by students who
knew what the purport of their search
was to be. and it is quite probable that
they were interested IN their work to
such an extent as to make the various
measurements they took of skulls of
children and adults fit the theory of Prof.
Boas. / bslieve. however, that ones in
tellectual makeup and manner of reason
ing and mode of life undergo radical
change in this country This is not an
idle theory. but is an established fact.
which i can prove by my own American
life. My American experiences viv-
idly imprinted on my memory and have
brought about love of this country
which is ineradicable. Circumstances
compelled me 20 return to Holland after
! had stayed here for three months. when
first came to this country away back
in the sos. l had scarcely set foot on the
soil of my native country when l felt
something nexplainable calling me back
to America.
. And here ! am: here ! married. and
here my life has experienced its greatest
epOchs of joy and sorrow. All of my
American impressions ! have written
down in verse and stanza. in poetry and
song. in every rhythm and meter OF
which breathes America and patriotism.

tells the tale of the evolution of America
and its influence on the affairs and the
future of the world
The Jews Mastering Germany.
THE Germans must absorb the Jews
in Germany. otherwise the Jews will
dominate the country, said DIR. Her
mann Heger. of Berlin. who was seen
at the New Willard. and who is touring
this country for observation and on busi-
ness
There is a Jewish question in Ger
many. and DR.. George Lomer, who has
studied the subject thoroughly, contends
that the Jews are gradually abolishinG
existing inequalities by the sheer weight
Of their growing influence, that ulti-
mately they will control the destinies of
that great empire. The Jew predomi-
mates in all professions in which BRAIN
| already tell a striking tale of the preva-
lencc of education among Jewish chill
dren. No fewer than two-thrds of the
Jewish children of the German capital
receive the higher education, which is Il
! much greater average than the children
of other creeds
Throughout the German empire" con-
tinued DR.. Heger. the Jews form little
more than l per cent of the total popu-
! lot hr,t Nf% obi IN,
the high grade schools of the country are
Jews. In such schools in Berlin and
other great cities the percentage of jew
ish children is still higher. reaching 80. 30.
and 80 per cent.
The same remarkable predominance Of
the Jews is evident at German universi-
ties. More than half the doctors and
lawyers in Berlin are Jews. and the
same numeraI predominance can be no.
ticed in most German cities The Jews
predominate also university profess
Sors, as teachers, as journalists, art
lists. and architects; in short. in all pro-
fessions. The only solution of the prob
lem seems to be that young Teutons must
marry Jewish maidens and young Jews
must be captured as husbands for Cen
tile girls. Then will the German race be-
come a combination of all the best ex-
listing qualities of humanity. Jew and
Teuton combined will breed a new and
magnificent race. fit to control the des-
TIMES of the world.
Force Of Habit.
Gov Patterson, of Tennessee. pardoned
great many convicts in his time, much
to the disgust of some of the people OF
that state.
! The governor was coming out Of a store
at Nashville one day and d man passing
by brushed against him. Pray. pardon
me- said the man.
Il WILL said the governor. What are
you in fOr?''
Too Many Doctors.
THE United States supports too MANI
physicians" said Henry S. Pritchett. Of
New York, president of the Carnegie
Foundation. when seen at the New Will
lard recently. While Europe maintains
the proportion of one physician to every
l,Je0 inhabitants, the United States has
a physician for every J6S. This overpro-
duction is due to our too numerous low
Grade medical schools and to the laXity
of our laws governing them.
I'VE have in this country continued
DIR. PTitchett. about $50 medical schools.
or more than are to be found in the
whole of Europe. Each of our schools
many physicians and surgeons that the
overproduct:on has become enormous.
We have twice many physicians and
surgeons to the 10,0O0 of population as
England four times as many as France,
and five times as many Germany.
some inferior medical schools, sane
toned by cur lax laws. are largely to
blame. 1t is admitted that the training
of doctors from the low-grade schools is
poor. but it is constantly asserted that
these doctors are needed for the rural
regions. Our Investigations show that
more expensively trained doctors go into
the scountry just as the poorly trained
doctors do
Virginia for Taft.
That the Virginia delegation to the
next Republican national convention will
be instructed TO vote for the renomina-
ton of President Taft is the opinion OF
Representative Bascom Slemp, who was
one of the few Southern Republicans
who managed to outride the last Demo-
cratic tidal wave and is one of the few
.'come-backs.'
President Taft is growing in popu-
larity everywhere. but particularly in
Virginia. said Mr.. Slemp, land it may
be set down for certain that the Virginia
dele CATION will vote for him to a man.
Taft will not only be unanimously nomi-
mated for another term. but he will be
elected.
