DIR. SEARCY TALKS
 OF PHYSIOLOGY

University. July 4.-(Special)- )-Dr James T. Searcy, superintendent of the state hospitals for the insane, delivered . lecture to the students of the universi- ty summer school on last Monday night The subject of the lecture was "The Physiology of Education" and it was a subject that was especially interesting to the teachers in attendance upon the sum- mer school The first part of the lecture was devoted to a description of human brain and the general nervous system. He described the course of thought through the brain. He then took up the teachers influence in training and devel- oping the brains of their pupils.
 The teacher, he said. has to deal with the early growing section of the child's S life, and 1t is in this section that he is learning and storing up knowledge. His power of judgment is not developed as it ts in later years.
 "The teacher must be able to judge of the ability of his pupil in order to get the best work out of him. The two factors which go to make up a man are inherent ability and acquired knowledge. but the amount of the latter depends to a great extent on the amoutn of the former that c man has"

Accountants Win

In a fast and spectacular game of ball the Accounts defeated the Machinists yesterday, the final score being to g. Ten innings were necessary before the Machinists could be downed and every inning was chuck full of spectacular work the kind that goes to make the national game so thrilling.
 Sexton started the fireworks for the Accountants and Stevens worked as catch CT. For the Machinists Harkens and Holtz performed The work of both pitchers was about the ordinary and es- pecially so was that of Sexton. Sexton twirled a magnificent game, not allow ing a hit until the seventh inning.
 The first run was made in the third inning by the Accountants, when Baum runner on second. In the fifth inning the Accountants made two more runs and had, as 1t appeared to everyone, annexed the game. But in the last part of the seventh the Machinists enjoyed a brief batting rally, having found Sexton for the first time during the afternoon, and before they could be retired they had scored three runs, tieing the score and making what was an already interesting game more interesting than ever.
 Neither side scored in the eighth or the succeeded in getting man across the rubber earning the necessary run. The features of the game were a three -base hit by Alexander. the work of Jones on third and the twirling of Sexton.

Their appearance in the American mar ket may cause their substitution to some extent for our own similar products, but such substitution would mean just so much elimination of Canada's products from the markets of the world. Their place needs to be filled and the supply for this purpose would most naturally come from the United States.

TAFT DEPENDS HIS
 REPUBLICANISM
 AND RECIPROCITY
CONTINUED FROM PAGE

which the subjects for reciprocity, mentioned in the amendment, were all most all of them articles in which the foreign countries would compete with us in our own markets. More than this, Mckinley, who was the second leader as to reciprocity and who delivered his last speech in its favor just before his tragic death. had negotiated a number of reciprocity treaties in all of which the duties were reduced or abolished on a number of products which would com pete in our market with those of our own production. The truth Is. if you will read the last speech of Mckinley, you will see that he speaks in this con- nection of duties which have become unnecessary and that might well be abolished.

No Agricultural Competition

Another answer to the objection of republican friends who denounee Cana dian reciprocity as a heresy is that the amount of competition which is to take place in our markets between Canadian products and those of the United States under this agreement is very much less than they would, by their general statements, have you believe. In the first place they say that by free trade in agricultural products we are giving them a market of 90,000,000 people and taking only market of S,000,000 people for the same things and that necessarily they derive greater advantage. AS a matter of fact in the vast bulk of our agricultural products they can furnish no competition whatever. while this agreement admits all our products free into Canada.
 Tt is said that this Canadian recip- rocity agreement is made wholly at the expense of the farmers and only in the interest of those who would have farm products at a less price, towit, the wage earners of the large cities It is my own Judgment that the reciproc' ity agreement will not greatly reduce the cost of living, if at all. It will, however, steady prices by enlarging reservoir of supplies for those things that are raised in both countries and it will make more remote the possi- bility of cornering comm odities and extorting excessive prices for. them from the public.

Farmers Will Benefit

Tt is mistake to say however, that this agreement is not in the n- terest of the farmers. Let us examine the statistics and see. The free list Is made up almost entirely of agricultur al products The amounts of exporta- tion from this country to Canada at present in the articles covered and af- fected by the reciprocity agreement were for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1910, s43,000,000 and the duties paid on those articles was something more than s7,S00,O00:. The exportation of these same articles into Canada for the year ended March 31. 1911, was s64, 100000 and the duties levied and collected were s10,500,00o The increase in other words was about S16,000,000 last year and the additional duties col lected was about s2,70O,000. There seems little doubt that for the current year the United States trade, covered by reciprocity will reach s75 100000 and the remission of duties would be not less than s4.000,OO0 under the agreement. What I wish to call your attention to is that of this remission of approximately s3,400,000 which would have been made on the imports into Canada from the United States, If the reciprocity agreement had been in effect little less than $2,000,00o would have been on agricultural pro- ducts.

 The Ensley aggregation played fast and well. The Bessemer bunch did like wise, but in the eighth Parsons former ly with the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. made a score that put the ginger in them, for they made two more in the ninth. Houston mace the first run of the game on Trotter's hit in the seventh, and the niftiest play made during the game was a double un- assisted by Hurd. Fancher proved to be still in the running but needing more practice, and Robinson showed well, but not swift.

The Free Wheat Fallacy


 "The truth is that when the complaint made on behalf of the farmer Is analysed 1t will be found to be limited to an argu- inent that by the admission of free wheat into the United States the price of wheat will be reduced 10 cents bushel. The answer to the argument is that this can not be, for the reason that the price of wheat in the United States and Canada both is ultimately fixed by the price of wheat in the world, and that the world s price is adjusted and made at Liverpool by the relation of the supply of the ex- ported wheat to the demand for it by countries which do not raise enough to supply their people.
 ''It may be that the free admission of wheat from the United States into Can ada will increase to some extent the price to the Canadian farmer, but it will not de- crease the price to the American farmer, because it will not decrease the demand upon the American farmer for his wheat
 Becomes American Flour
 "The diversion from British and Euro pean markets to the markets of the United States of 2O,oOO. GOO to 40, OOO GOO bush els of Canadian wheat annually would not only strengthen the wheat market abroad, but would furnish the American mills with a needed complement of wheat which the world would require just as it has in the past, but 1t would then be in the shape of American made flour. The effect of increased wheat supplies would be to reduce the cost of manufacturing flour in just the ratio that the mills were able to thereby increase their output. This reduced cost of production would en- able the mills to regain in the foreign market the 1S.0oo,0Oo to 200Oo,OOo barrels of flour sold in foreign trade annually 10 years ago. but which in recent years has fallen to less than 100000 barrels. The American-grown wheat would not be de- creased in value in the slightest but on the contrary because>of increased mar keting facilities and fuller time operation the mills would be in better position to absorb increased quantities of Americans grown wheat
