Different Methods Of Mental

Discussion Between Schools.

The continued progress in mathe-
MATES of the young prodigy, Willian
James Sidis, at Harvard, and the fat

a 5-year-old prodigy In languages
Edward r. Hardy. is reviving in the
discussions of educators the old ques
ton Of which field OF mental effort
has the greater developing power,
mathematics or language Study.
The opponents of mathematics have
said that the study Of language de
veloped the literary Imagination and
the finer graces OF the mind. while
mathematics only developed the pow
err OF thinking in distractions unre-
lated to actual life.
Called Mental Loafng.
The opponents of language study
have said that the mathematical mind
was the only thing that counted in
holding ones own in the world, aui
that language study in excess was
mere luxurious mental loafinE.
The two boys, however. seem TO
show, in the minds OF educators that
know them both. that development is
possible in either course, and devei-
opment Of an extreme nature.

A GOOD TINE TO Buy.

There never was a better time in
the history Of this community to buy

right now. The fact that few sales
have been made and several nonresi-

price has forced selling prices away
down. This has had the usual effect

STRIKERS
MARCHED TO
RADIANT

About O'Clock Tuesday afternoon
between three and four hundred OF the
striking miners under the leadership
Of a brass band left Rockyale In
marching column for the purpose OF
proceeding to the Victor American
Fuel company's mine at Radiant, six
or seven miles away. with the hope
that such n demonstration would re-
suit in the few non-union men employ
ed there throwing down their tools
and making common cause with the
strikers.
The marchers were unarmed and no
threats OF violence of any kind were
heard: the object OF the leaders being
to accomplish by moral suasion tie
up of operations at Radiant without
destruction OF property or loss Of life.
The report that the strikers we're
coming soon reached Radiant and ev-
erybody connected with the mine there
went into hiding to avoid possible
trouble as 1t had been rumored that
many OF the marchers were armei
with rifles The matter having been
brought TO the attention OF Sheriff
Newcomb he hastened to the scene by
automobile and endeavored to per-
suade the strikers TO turn back. but in
this was not successful. When the
boundary of the Victor American Fuel
company's property was reached Sher-
IN Newcomb refused to allow the
marchers TO cross Il and hence be-
come trespassers. although he agreed
that a committee might visit the mine
and present their grievance TO the
manager OF the mine II he could De
found
Not being able to locate any OF the
representatives OF the company the
committee Withdrew and shortly after
wards the marchers dispersed and be-
fore night all had returned to their
homes.
The demonstration. which was de-
signed for its moral effect on the men
who we're loyal to the operators. was
more spectacular than threatening as
no coercion was advocated, OF at
tempted. II was stated here this
morning that another visit would be
made to the Radiant mine by the
strikers today. but how much truth
there was in the rumor we are unable
to say. IL was also reported that
similar visit would be made to the
Victor American Fuel company's mine
at Chandler. The strikers in the Fre-
mont county coal fields are deportins
themselves with commendsbie respect
for Law and order and no serious
trouble is apprehended here by the
authorities
