BABE, ARE YOU MAN

BALTIMORE. Sept. 15.-On Babe. a
cute little monkey that grimaces at
visitors at the Biological Laboratory
of the Johns Hopkins University, rests
the responsibility OF determining
whether his race is, or Is not, related
to the human tribe.
There has hardly been an hour since
he came into this world several weeks
ago that he has not been under the
close surveillance OF learned scientists
In the effort to forge Bate into the
missing link between the ape and man
DR.. John e. Watson. Director OF the
Psychological Laboratory, is the NOV
ing spirit, and 1t is under his direction
that all the experiments are being
made.
Before Babe drew his first breath OF
life in the laboratory his parents had
been watched for months They were
intelligent apes and were naturally
presumed to be the proper parents OF
p probably more than usually intelli-
gent offspring.
But Babe Is being trained in human
ways, and presently. when 1t Is feasi
Bile to take him from the care Of his
mother, it is planned to make his
schooling still more elaborate. II IL Is
found that he can be taught to do
things human-Iike every effort will be
made to develop his mind along lines
that will fairly tax his mental capacity
to assimilate human knowledge.

DECLINE I'M FICTION
READING TN LIBRARY
MARKING EV0LU Tl0N

LIVERPOOL, England. Sept 20.-On
the second day OF the meeting or the
Library Association at Liverpool pa
per was read by Mr.. Doubleday OF
Hamstead entitled. Public Libraries
and the Public"
Mr.. Doubleday said that one OF tho
most noteworthy features Of library
evolution was the continued decrease
o. fiction circulated. In London IL
amounted to almost 40 per cent. and
almost every library reported steady
decline In this respect and an In
creased demand for educational wosks.
Universities and other educatitf al
bodies had recognized that the whole
trend OF modern library work was to-
wards education and were anxi0usly
seeking their cooperation. The charge
that libraries had socialistic tenden-
cses Mr.. Doubleday rebutted. He In
sisted that they were prefectly unpoli-
tical and were supported by men Of all
creeds.
He appealed for the cessation Of
purely destructive criticism which was
sometimes heard in public speeches
on the subject Of libraries Public lib
raries had come to stay, and every IIt-
rary administrator would welcome
criticism that would tend to make
libraries more effective than they
were.
Mr.. Faxan, one of the II American
delegates commissioned by the Aineri-
can Library Association to convey
greetings to English association. cali
ed attention to the fact that In nearly
every American library tne.s was a
room set apart for children. and here
was also now an attempt being made
to instruct the children in the use OF
books and libraries.
