But there is a second kind of

This is based upon the study Of
embryology (the science of the
development of an organism from
Its rudlments). One of the most
wonderful facts brought out nv
such study is that the embryo Of
an animal as it develops from
the earliest germ of living slb..

course of evolution before birth.

forms. Thus the brief history Of

Earliest Man-Animal.

This animal was more nanlike
than apelike, but it possessed suf-
ficieut resemblance to both types
to lead some men of science to
regard it as a specimen OF man
as he was before he had pro-
crossed very far from the point
where he and his ape relatives
struck out into their diverging
roads of evolution. Haeckel has
given to the earliest man-animal,
after his separation from the
original common trunk, the name
alalus (speechless), because he
thinks that the first man did not
possess a true language.
Now, as to the proof Of these
statements about the evolution

Lutte PROOF which would be
furnished by the discovery of I'M
doubted remains of the missing
link together with remains of
intermediate types leading toward
the apes in one direction and man
in the other, may never be OBJ
tanned, and that for the following
reason:
The separation OF the human
from the ape type occurred rels
lively late in the geological his
tory of the earth. 1t il generally
believed to have happened In the
later Tertiary ages, perhaps only
a few hundred thousand years
ago, after the surface of the earth
had assumed very much the char
acter which it possesses to-day.

Holding the Ideal, Not the Abnormal

r AM in receipt Of letter from
the president of an ad club
wherein he requests state
ment from me. He explains that
he has sent a similar request to
upward of a hundred different
writers. So here is the request:
Please name three prominent
false standards in business that
exist to-day, and how to remedy
them"
Here is purely d negative prop
osition.
Forget the Evil.
The gentleman isn't Interested
50 much in beauty, excellence,
order, harmony, progress, success
as he is in false standards. Not
only will he not be satisfied with
one false standard, but he asks
for three.
hope he does not consult me
as an expert.
My correspondent has simply
forgotten that we live in an age
that is essentially affirmative.
There is no use dwelling on the
evil Forget the evil. Let 1t be
swallowed up in the good.
Detectives looking for evil are
in danger in time of taking on the
character of criminals.
There was a time, perhaps,
when false standards were com
mon, but they were not univer-
sal. otherwise business could not
have been carried on at all.
In medicine, however, you will
find that the study of the abnor-
NAL prevails. Pick up any medi-
cal journal-of which there are
about forty published in Amer
ica-and you will md that the
diseased. the abnormal, the mon
strous, the peculiar the unusual
the toxic afford a theme for both
writers and artists.
In school teaching we have had
studies Of the abnormal. The de-
fectives have been given great
space, and specialists assigned to
look after their needs.

What Huxley Says.
But. while the direct proof just
mentioned may never be obtained,
there is proof of another order,
even more conclusive. This is Of

resenlblances between men and
anthropoid apes are so numerous
and striking that there seems to
be no other reasonable eXplana-
ton of them than a community OF
origin. ] have not space to go
into details, but Huxley has
summed up the case in a single
sentence: For the skull no less

and some other apes"
