JOHN \. LOMAX TO SPEAK HERE
Author Of 'COwboy Song" Will BE ut
Assembly March ..
Who keeps the herd from running,
Stampeding far and wide?
The cowboys long. low whistle.
And singing by their side.

John A. LOmaX. who has collected
a number of cowboy songs, will speak
at assembly March I. He has Shell
don Fellowship from Harvard for the
the investigation of American ballads
and has Travelled through the West
and Southwest making the cOllec-
tions. Mr. Lomax is the author of
Cowboy Songs" a book containing
more than a hundred of the songs
The authors of many of these songs
are not known.
The work is prefaced by letter
from Theodore Roosevelt:
Cheyenne, Aug. 2S. 1910.
Dear Mr.. LOmaX:
You have done a work emphatical-
ly worth doing and one which should
appeal to the people of all our cOun-
try and particularly to the people of
the West and Southwest. Your sub
ject is not only exceedingly interest
ing to the student of literature, but
also to the student of the general
history of the West There is some
thing very curious in the reproduc-
tion here on this new continent of
essentially the conditions of ballad
growth which obtained in medieval
England; including, by the way, SYM
pathy for the outlaw, Jesse James.
taking the place of Robin Hood. Tn
der modern conditions, however, the
native ballad is speedily killed by
competition with the music-hall
songs: the cowboys becoming
ashamed to sing the crude hOmespun
ballads in view of what Owen Wister
calls the .'ill-smelling saloon clever
ness" of the far less interesting COM
positions of the music-hall singers.
1t is therefore work of real impor-
tance to preserve permanently this
. unwritten ballad literature of the
back country and the frontier.
With all good wishes. | am
Very truly yours.

The city whose streets are paved

in a fog of coal smoke; they have
eaten it. breathed it and absorbed it
into the pores of their bodies. When
night comes they dream of storms
of SCOT from which they desperately
attempt to escape.
Meanwhile the smOkestacks do
business i'm the same old stand. They
are fed from fuel of a quality that
keeps them going to their fullest ca

There is a tradition that poets
singing of harbingers of spring must
stick to robins. first viOlets and so
forth, which is all very pretty but
impractical. A late frost is very apt
to kill the first violet and the robin
might catch a cold i'm his throat and
then the poem is cold mOckery.
But unfailing harbingers of that glad
season we have with us always Ever
notice with what enthusiasm our
suits shine even like unto the wits of
their wearers about that time? How
our toes unblushingly seek the light
of day through our winter shoes.

THE LOAN SHARK WAR.

The Chicago Tribune is engaged
i'm a war on the loan sharks of that
city. For years those plurderers
gOrged themselves on salaried men
and women. and no one lifted a. fing-
er to expose their chicanery and
crOOkedness. They have thrived and
become wealthy, SO wealthy that
they are leaders among the very peO-
pie whom they have plundered
The Tribune is making many of
the more conscientious confess some
of their transactions. On an Origi-
nal loan of $50 man was threat

ture unless he paid s3O.90 more af-

to all this. loan sharks have no legal

nothing beyond bullying and bluff

The Making of an Idea

ink cannot be blown from the tube:
thus in his Imagination the third
course remains. that of dissolving the
dried ink This last step is the
fourth process of making an idea,
that of testing each hypothesis in i'm
aginatiOn.
After the hypothesis that water
will remove the obstruction from the
tube, the person actually tries it. If
it proves effective. the more remote
ideal of writing again guides the ac-
tivity of the person and he begins to
write. This step is the use of the
means in realizing the ideal of the
problem.
Hereafter when a like difficulty
with a pen occurs. the person has in
his memory the fact that water will
remove dried ink. Not only will he
have this fact fixed firmly in his
memory but he may use ii as the
basis of analogy in overcoming some
other new difficulty.
Every person has his own ideas of
the things in the world in which he
lives symbols of things are often
made the things themselves; for in
stance when one sees light on
dark night. he may say he sees an au-
tomobile What he really does see
is the symbol which stands for the
automobile Every hour in the day
people are building the world in
which they consciously live.
The dictionaries give the meanings
of things. but so many and varied
may be an individuals use of GER
tain thing, that it is often impossible
for the dictionaries to give all its
uses.
Not only must the subjects includ-
ed in school course be widely
chosen, but in teaching, the various
uses of a subject must be known in
order that the teachers should
know what to emphasize and what to
neglect
In concluding his lecture on How
Ideas Are Made, Doctor COur-
sault said: ''Intellect lives upon the
problems that grow out of the prac-
tical life. and dies without them. New
ideas are born in the life struggle.
where men are thrilled with pur-
poses the value of which they deep
ly feel. and push onward overcoming
difficulties which stand in the road
to the realization of these purposes.
History pronounces this truth with
no uncertain voice. Biology and psy-
chology add to this testimony the
endorsement of descriptive and ex-
planatory science. AS well ask how
a blacksmith can make an iron shoe
without the forge and hammer as to
ask how a man can make ideas with
out the heat of desire and the pound
ing of will w. l..
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1912-02-27

The making of an idea is of spe-
cial interest to teachers: they should
know how an idea is made, for it is
their work to control the making.
The word idea in the dictionary
has various meanings; it is a cOncep-
tiOn of any perfection: an ideal; the
embOdying form or eXemplar of a
conception. person or thing; men
tai impression.
An idea is essentially a plan of ac-
ton, and this is the most important
step i'm the making of an idea.
Prof. J. II. COursault recently ad
dressed the Science Association on
this subject. Doctor COursault said
that i'll the complete normal process
of making an idea there are five es-
sential steps. which may be discOv
cred by examining the way in which
an individual consciously OvercOmes
any difficulty that is met in the reali-
ZatiOn of an ideal, the accomplish
ment of some purpose. These steps
were given as: CD Meet a difficulty
in realizing an ideal; CD locate the
difficulty and give it the form of a
definite problem; CD call to mind
through analogy one or more hypO-
thetical means of solving the prob
lem and overcome the difficulty; (4)
test each hypothesis in imagination;
90 use the means in realizing the
ideal
In illustrating the application of
these five steps Doctor COurSault
gave as an example person who,
wishing to write with d fountain pen,
finds that the ink does not flow. He
cannot write until this difficulty is
overcome. His experience gives the
first step in the process of making a
new meaning-he has met a difficulty
in realizing the ideal. His first
thought is that there is no ink in the
holder. but remembering that the pen
was filled half an hour previous. he
decides that the ink has become clog
ged. Then he sets about removing
the cause of the difficulty. This To-
cation of the difficulty gives rise to
the second step in the progress of
making the idea. Next he thinks of
the various ways he can remove the
clOgged ink. He remembers having
used a pin TO clean clock key; hay-
ing removed an abstacle from a pipe
stem by blowing through the stem.
and having dissolved many sub
stances in water. Each of these
means which he thinks may over
come the difficulty, is an hypothesis
This forms the third step in the pro-
cess, through analogy calling to mind
one or more hypothetical means for
overcoming the difficulty.
In the individuals imagination the
tube of the pen is too small to admit
of the insertion of the pin: the dried
