building, and there Wilson breathed
his defiance and denunciation of the
administration.
1t is too bad President Wilson
could not have heard the lecture. If
he needs any further evidence to JUS
tify his action in dismissing Wilson,
he could have found ut in the lecture.
Instead of revealing any secrets, the
former AMBASSADOR devoted most of
his time to a defense of his own ac-
lions during the Huerta uprising and
the assassination of Madero. OF
course, there has been no official ac-
cusation of Wilson, but he seemed
to need no accuser. He told a story
of the humanitarian impulses which
led him to bring Huerta and Felix
Diaz together during their treacher-
GUS revolution, but he did not reply
to certain definite charges widely
circulated that the former ambassa-
dor had personal reasons for desiring
the overthrow of Madero and the
seating of Huerta.

BEMIDJI HIGH SCHOOL
DOING UNUSUAL THINGS

garet Newton, and the English
teacher, Miss Vera Backus.
MIR. Dyer, who at the rural school
meetings always has something to
say on the value Of education and the
rewards to be obtained from it, be-
lieves the movements will result in
an increased interest in education
generally, and in technical education
education as applied to the condi-
tions Of the lift of the people in
particular. Moreover, as intimated
it means closer bonds between town
and country people, a thing Bemidji
is much interested in, for it foresees
an end in few years Of the lumber
ing business which gave the town its
start and wishes to see its farms
built up into greater prosperity,
Again, too, Mr.. Dyer says, the plan
is going to promote the organization
Of country peoples clubs, move
ment freighted with immense pos
sibilities for the betterment Of town
and country life. It is not strange,
in the light of all this, that Mr.. Will
son, of the college of agriculture,
gives the plan hearty endorsement.
Attracting Attention.
Furthermore, the plan is attract
ing attention to the Bemidji high
schools .ten-acre experimental farm.
This is bit Of land on the edge Of
town, purchased at a cost of $2,75O,
worked in part by manager who
lives on the place, and in part by
the agricultural students of the
school under the directionof Mr.. Gile.
It is about as difficult proposition

in a farming way as the countryside
presents. It is sandy to a degree, but
it is astonishing what results the
farmers Of the school get from its
acres, in small fruits, vegetables.
corn, clover, alfalfa and small grains.
All is scientifically done, and the
farmers around Bemidji are begin
ming to get new ideas Of what scien-
tific farming will do, when it can
bring successful crops from such
soil. They realize that if such a bit
of ground can be made profitable,
their farms, every one Of which is
far superior to that of the school, can
be made much more profitable.
What Duffy Does
The man in, charge OF the farm
is named Duffy, and Duffy is an ex-
ample of what school farm caretak-
er may be. He is suggestion for
other schools. He lives on the farm
and looks after it, and does much
Of the heavy work. But he also drives
the school bus. This makes two trips
daily to and from Mill Park sub
urb of Bemidji which has no high
school Of it own. Then he does all the
freighting for the school and the
farm: He is busy all Of the time. He
receives 5000 year, plus his farm
home, for his services, but he earns
it, for he does his work faithfully.
and sees to it that the farm is kept
up to top-notch condition. His en-
ployment in this manner suggests a
solution for schools having similar
farms, which lack in the immediate
care received by this.
Altogether the Bemidji high school
is serving it's community well and its
community is not Bemidji alone but
the whole countryside.

HUMAN HEREDITY.
u 10 Confined, So II 10 Asserted. to .
Likeness to Parents.

There are few subjects on which so
much scientific nonsense IL talked
and written rs on heredity. Not very
much Is known Of 1t ~ regards plants.
less Of animals and almost nothing as
regards humanity. To read hooks on
heredity. especially those of the Eu-
genie society. Is to read mass OF sup
positions and hazardous inductions
where most OF the facts are negative
and only the exceptions are positive.
The very meaning Of hereditary" Is
not understood. If any quality is truly
hereditary then II is always heredi-
tary. Ii never occurs except as the re-
suit Of heredity. and 1t is constant
that Is to say. II Invariably follows.
But there IL no quality OF which this
can be said. That genius Is not heredi-
tary Is known. Even talent Is not.
Nor is any aptitude. A lawyers son
more often wants to be a soldier or an
artist than a lawyer. notwithstanding
the environment. and ii il so with most
professions. The exceptions seem to
be due to training and influence. not to
hereditary transmission.
superficial likeness to parents
seems hereditary. but that is all that
we can assert. and that outward like
ness by no means infers an inward
likeness. There Is nothing so easy
and nothing so fatal as this tendency
to attribute to heredity what Is due to
training or want of training. 1t ex-
