Excerpts from theLesson, "Heredity
and Environment"

Children cannot be treated alike;
each has his or her special individuality,
which is the most valuable Of all endow-
ments. II all we're alike, no progress
could be made, aud right here comes
the weakest point in the present educa-
tional system"
If we hope for any improvement Of
the human race we must begin with the
child, as the child responds more read
lily to environment than any creature in
existence.
When we come to animal
life, especially in man, we find that the
force or influence necessary to effect
transformation is extremely slight. This
is why environment plays such an inn
portant part in the development of
man."
When certain hereditary tendencies
are almost indelibly ingrained, environ
ment will have hard battle to effect a
change in the child, but that change
can be wrought by the surroundings we
all know.
All animal life is sensitive to en-
Surroundings act upon the child as
The outside world acts upon the plate
Of the camera.
Let the child born Of criminal pa
rents have setting of morality and
lecency, and the chances are that he
will not grow into criminal, but into
IN upright man.
Don t feed children on maudin senti-
give them nature.
let their souls drink all that is pure
md sweet If they come into
he world with their souls cropping in
he darkness, let them see and feel the
light. Put the best in them by
ontact with the best outside. "

In Memory of Margaret Calls Sed-
berry.

A loved one has gone from the midst
OF a circle that once was gay;
spotlesS angel possesses the soul
of the body that now is clay
The shadow of a voiceless grief
AS with those who loved her best;
They think with yearning hearts of one,
Passed to her dreamless rest.
They listen vainly for the sound
of that voice forever still,
But no more will the accents be heard;
She has found JOY in the Masters will
And though we cannot see again
Those eyes so clearly bright
We know the shadow of a tear
Can never dim the light
Parents miss the loved one from their side
And earth no more is bright,
And things that gladden. have no more
The semblance of delight
And yet they know with heart of faith
She rests no longer frail
Where never WEAKNESS or pain
Shall make her faint or fail.
Upon the fair eternal hills
of Gods own glorious land
The Master has met and welcomed her;
She has felt the touch of his hand.
No early bliss can equal the JOY
of that dear one gone before,
And there with other loved ones she waits
For those whose hearts are sore.
Since whom God loves he chasteneth,
Sad hearts look unto God
Aud know that Mag is not dead to you
Because she lays under the sod.
Our lives below are but as days
Compared with time to be,
When in that Eden in the sweet beyond
We shall our loved ones see.

There has been a time in the history
of road building when the skill of the
local supervisor was sufficient but since
advanced civilization with it's free mail
delivery, improved schools and better
social and commercial conditions has
reached out into rural districts, bet
ter class of highways is demanded:
Surveys must be made, roads located
so as to produce best results as to
grades, drainage and drainage. Proper
bridges must be provided. The best
materials, whether local or imported,
must be carefully selected, tested and
incorporated into the road so as to pro-
duce an economical, acceptable and dur
able thoroughfare. Maintenance of no
ess Importance than construction, must
then be given proper attention Econ
omy and efficiency require that these
important matters be placed in the
binds of specially trained and exper-
fenced engineers.
Until recently schools have given
little attention to the study of High
way Engineering and the demand for
men trained in this work has far ex-
ceeded the supply. To assist in meet
ing this demand the University of
Mississippi has introduced courses in
Road and Bridge Engineering and pro-
yided special laboratories for testing
road and bridge building materials.
Students wishing to become highway
engineers will pursue general civil
engineering course, modified to suit
their needs. Full instruction will be
given in road economics, road admins
tration, road surveying, location. grades,
drainage, selection and use of mater
ials, construction and maintenance
Timber, steel and reinforced concrete
design will form part of the work.
Laboratory tests of materials will be
conducted by the students.
The laboratories contain complete
equipment for testing cement, plain
and reinforced concrete, brick, stone,
timber. az we'll as macadam rock, paw
ing brick, asphalt. sand clay mixtures
and other road materials.
Engineers and others interested in
road materials are invited to have their
testing done at the University laba
tories where tests and reports will be
given careful attention. No charge is
made for the service.
Full information regarding courses
in Civil, Electrical and Municipal Engi'
neering will be mailed upon application

The Thief. /"

The dominant thought in the
mind Of an American woman is
how to dress herself to be inter-
esting and attractive. It is
around this thought that the
powerful story of The Theft"
was written by that genius of
the theatre, M. Bernstein, and
produced at the Lyceum Theatre,
New York. Dresses and good
looks seem trivial things. per-
haps, in a world in which so
much that is important goes
wrong. But nobody knows what
suffering women go through
yearning for the admiration of
their husbands or their sweet
hearts, and deprived of those
things which they feel would
make them attractive.
How different the man is from
the woman!
Women live with thin, scrawny,
understood, insignificant, bald
husbands. They praise those
husbands constantly. If he can't
grow a beard, then the wife hates
a beard. If he has a beard like
the name of roaring lion. then
the wife thinks the beard so
manly" If the husband is bald
the wife thinks that is sign of
brains and refinement, or she
says she thinks so. She even
points out the fact that burglars
are never bald.
If the husband is thin legged,
narrow-shouldered little person,
the wife hates mere brute
strength" If the husband is as
strong as a prize-fghter. then
the wife studies up the histories
of Hercules, and is always ask
ing the husband in public to
double up his arm and let people
feel his muscle. or to swell out
his enormous chest. But what
do husbands do? They ask their
poor little dumpy fat wives II
they can't pull themselves to-
peth n little" and have some
style" If the tips of their wives
noses get red in the early morn
ing, instead of igr oring that, they
talk about it and give sage advice.
They tell their wives about gray
hairs, or wrinkles. Truly it is
wonderful the patience that
wives have with husbands, Won
derfui how they stand them. Ev-
cry wife, every husband, every
lover, every sweetheart in the
country should see "Ihe Thief"
which is parade of a husbands
criticism and a wife's endeavor
to please even at the sacrifice OF
her reputation.
"The Thief" comes to the OPP
ero House tonight, Friday, Sept.
10Th.

COUNTY JAiLs GIVEN SCORING.
Or. Wines Tells Charities Conference
They Are Schools for Crime.

Boston.-A complete revolution In
the treatment of m!sdemeanants
and petty offenders throughout the
United States was proposed by
DR.. Frederick Howard Wines. sta
tistician of the board Of administra-
ton of state institutions Of Illinois. at
the opening session of the National
Conference Of Charities and Correc-
ton here.
DR.. Wines characterized the average
county or municipal jail In this coun-
try as school for crime, cesspool
OF moral contagion, a propagatlng
house of criminallty, feeder for the
penitentiary, a public nuisance and a
Disgrace of modern civilization. The
public Indifference to the situation he
attributed partly to ignorance. The
county officials" he said, do not
know what Jail should be and the
people do not know what their jails
really are. In plain Anglo-Saxon. the
truth Is that wherever there exists
local graft and political dishonesty.
the county prison Is It's center and its
stronghold. The sheriff or the jailer
makes personal profit from crime
by charging per diem for board TOR
prisoners and by the receipt OF fees
for locking and unlocking the Jail
doors That profit is live wire No
local politician, possibly no member OF
the legislature or even of the state
administration dares fool with 1t"

Joker" MAY COST
U. S. $500, CO. 1000
Act Found ClInches Roads Right to
OIL Lands-Big interests
involved.

Washington. Just as the gov
eminent is sitting in for the big
gest legal game it ever played the
discovery is made that 1t is bound
to lose and the Southern Pacific rail-
road to win $500, 100000 unless the
laws of 1891 and 1896 governing the
patenting of oil and mineral lands are
repealed by congress.
The stakes are great area OF
CALIFORNIA; richest oil lands. They
were granted to the railroad with
clause in the grant expressly except
ing all mineral lands save those con-
tanning coal and iron.
Suits contemplated by the United
States government to recover more
than S500,000,000 worth of oil and min
eral lands from the Southern Pacific
railroad In California may be aban-
doned until congress repeats the laws
of 1891 and 1896 governing the patent
ing of these lands.
According to an official of the de-
partment of Justice, defeat would be
the result of any effoN to recover the
lands by process under the existing
law.
This startling turn in the govern
ment's contemplated action is the re-
suit of the unearthing of joker in
tse laws of 1891 and 1896. The joker
limits the time in which suit can be
brought
The lands in question were granted
to the railroad, with clause in the
grant expressly excepting all mineral
lands save those containing coal and
iron. Most of these lands were pat
ented to the grantee more than six
years ago. The joker in the situation
was slipped into the act of 1891 in the
very last hours of the session of con-
gress.
The department views this joker as
a Var to any proceeding on the part OF
the government. According to de-
cision of the United States Supreme
court unearthed within the last few
days the government cannot annul by
legal proceedings a patent of land to
a landgrant railroad after six years
from the issuance of the patent. Until
the laws are repealed the government
has not chance to get back its lands.
The Southern Pacific's landed en-
pire on the Pacific slope ranges from
Portland, Ore, southwark to Yuma.
Ariz., and from Sacramento, Cal. east
ward to Salt Lake City. 1t was com.
posed of land grants made by con-
gress to numerous railroad companies,
which have since become merged in
the Southern Pacific system, making
the Southern Pacific the wealthiest
land holding corporation in the world.
