But will that last forever?
When you see the lower forms life giving birth

of years that the human child all the material
knowledge stored away and have work to do except the dis
covering of unknown truths, working in new heds?
We base this editorial upon article by Sir William Ram
In the article referred to- Sir William Ramsay

animal apart from all teaching or experience

extremely likely that the little boy of Burma, child
bred for ages along the limited line of thought should have
certain ideas and associations before birth strongly impressed
upon that these should be transmitted and appear the
child without any teaching.
There doubt that the children of savages recognize

that fact of intense human beings who hope that
human itself may develop DAY in such way

which they now possess after years OF schooling
Suppose that child could this world wise pro-

No baby mud wasp its mother The eggs
laid and the mother who lays the dies before they hatch
Each new mud wasp begins its career as did Adam in the
Garden of Eden with nobody back of him far he knows
When the mud wasp ready she selects good place lay
her eggs Then she goes off and selects fat caterpillar
the caterpillar If she killed it. it would be decayed useless
by the time the young wasps arrived.
The mother wasp seizes the caterpillar and carefully stngs
just back OF the head between two of the little rings that form
the caterpilars body
This the caterpillar makes it impossible move
struggle, but does kill it
And while the wasp eggs Matching the caterpillar
dered helpless but killed by the poison lies ALIVE
waiting for the little to hatch and eat it
Presently they hatch, they eat it, and scatter.
The wonderful thing that of these asps having

Some have musical power which that the brain before
birth developed knowledge of harmony.
Some children compose music correctly when they
almost young read. zs.s4
Other children have phenomenal mathematical faculty and
do sums that would puzzle their elders.
So far, mans brain IS really too big for his body.
He tid frightened monkey man. running away from
everything developing his brain rapidly up for
physical weakness He has been thinking only short
time-probaby than hundred thousand
years.
Unlike the the and the swallows not had
time develop knowledge make it thoroughly his and
TRANSMIT it.
But there to believe that in time
baby will be born with all the practical knowledge that requires
just the young swallow and the young begin life thor
oughIy educated.
