One of those changes usually de-

the cotton suits and frocks that have
been shown during the past weeks to

much more attention than talent,
save in the case of the martyrs.
And it is worth noting that the
emlnenuy dull and the sublimely
stupid have always been immune
from persecution.
And so our friends in New Or
leans have worked out a detailed
plan by which the teacher, har-
emit physician, sociologist, edVno-
mist psychologist operate* to-
gethcr in examining the pupil.
This is all to be done as much as
possible without calling the at
tention of the child 10 the opera
ton.
In addition to this, instruction
is to Ia given in the normal
schools concerning how to make
similar data in their own expert

first general plan 10 be wcrsped
out in America for the study Of
the strongest, best and most able
types-that is, the normal type.
The intent is to first intersst
the parent and there is no doubt
this can be done. II a parent has
an exceptionally bright and tai
ented child he is pleased to have
the fact recognized by others.
II the child is defective yoa
may have a hard task In getting
the cooperation of the parent
in studying biological or genetio
conditions.
But the experience 20 far, In
New Orleans, shows that parents
are cooperating with the teach
ers. And you must have the
hearty cooperation of the paT-
ents in the matter Of sehos
teaching and school tests II you
would succeed.
Building the Ideal.
The problem In teaching srhoo
is to control the parent
There are tactful social work
ers delegated TO get information
from the parents as to the con
ditions under which the child has
been reared. The whole purpose
is to study the apparently excep
tional child and find out why he
is strong and well and happy
and cheerful and helpful, ana
progressive-a joy to his teacher
and Joy to his parents.
So II will be seen that the In
tent of this most excellent plan
is to fix the attention of teach
ers, school directors and parents
on the exceptional, and to Al
their minds with the IDEAL r
possible, to the end that these
conditions that environed the ex
ceptional child may be repeated
Such information massed over
period Of years would do FOR

amount of information in refer

The Evolution of Man

Earliest Man Animal.

This animal was more manlike
than apelilke, but it possessed suf-
ficient 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
airy origin of man. The ABSO-
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 rela-
lively late in the geological his
tory OF the earth. 1t is 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 thelchar-
aeter which 1t possesses to-day.

r AM in receipt of a letter from
the president of an ad club
wherein he requests state
ment from me. He explains that
he has sent similar request to
upward of hundred different
writer's. 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 a negative prop
osition.
Forget the Evil.
The gentleman isn't interested
SO 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.
l 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 it 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 viii
md 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 viii find that the
diseased, the abnormal the mon
strous, the peculiar, the unusual
the toxic afford a theme for both
writer's and artists. NJ
In school teaching we have had
studies OF tho abnormal. The de-
fectives have been given great
space, and specialists assigned to
look after their needs.

Their back than the fork in
the road where the earliest repre-
sentatives OF the human family
are believed to have parted COM
pany from the earliest represen-
tatives Of the family of the an
thropoid (manlike) apes-such as
the gorilla, the ohipanZee and
the gibbon.
Up to that point there had been,
in the world, neither apes nor

ing link" Search has, from time
to time, been made for possible
remains of it, but without any

proach to the missing link" thus

OF shallow seas, were buried in
deposits of mud and fine sand
that subsequently, while the wa
tiers withdrew, or the land was
elevated, were transformed into
layers of rock. 1t Is for this rea-
son that the remains OF many of
the very earliest inhabitants of
the globe, creatures OF COMPARE
lively simple organization, are
among the most abundant and
of the best preserved, while those
of the later land animals are
comparatively rare and imperfect,
because they have been more ex-
posed to destructive influences.
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
two kinds First, the structural
resemblances 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. I have not space to go
into details, but Huxley has
summed up the case in a single
sentence: For the skull no less
than for the skeleton in general
the proposition holds good that
the differences between man and
the gorilla are of smaller value
than those between the gorilla
and some other apes"

FROM SALTEsE TO
IRON MOUNTAIN, MONT.
MINING AND LUMBER ACTIVITY,
AS. VIEWED RECENTLY BY A
MuLLAN MAN.

One of the oldest residents of Null
Ian recently spent several days In the
western Montana section, from Sal
tese to Iron Mountain. where mining
and the lumber business are the chief
industries. He is one who has kept
In pretty close touch with this terri
tory for more than quarter Of cen
fury.
There is lots of activity to be
SEEN" he said, land much work is in
progress. Sawmills are busy all along
the route and there is much doing In
the timber. In fact everybody seems
to be busy.
"The Iron Mountain section. where
the mine Of that name Is located, is
very active. This property has splen-
dbl modern equipment, well devel-
oped body of high grade ore, and Is
expected to fully sustain It's splendid
record of profit in its early operations
Spring Gulch also is active, and
there are well developed bodies Of ore
being worked there.
THE old Amador, more or less ia
nous some years ago is again getting
busy. The long litigation on the prop
erty has been cleared up. Even dur
ing the doubtful period of law the
pumps, under heavy expense at times,
were kept going and the works kept
dry. A force of men are putting the
branch railroad, 8 or 10 miles long, in
shape.
Some shipments of ore are being
made from the mines about Saltese
and there is quite general activity in
development work on all sides of the
town. There Is a mining section of
great merit all around Saltese, how
ever slow it may have been in deve-
lopment
Il have seen all of this section many
times in the past rs or ~ years Of my
residence in the Occur d'Alenes, and
nave seen 1t grow from a practically
section to It's present
population and development. While l
would have liked to see the mining
particularly develop faster,
he change has certainly been mar
yelous one"

Mining--as we're Just beginning to
do it's being run on exactly the
same basis as any manufacturing en-
terprise. Modern methods, up-to-date
systems. business policies, are being
devoted to It and the endeavor Of
every ore producer today is to emu

handle our raw material as they do
theirs; utilizing everything but the
fact, by doing this very
thing, there won't be any squeal. be-
