TOW can we make the lives

This has been the question
over which philosophers. scien-
lists and priests have pondered
since civilization became. a syno-
nym for altruism. According to
the new ideas. it is profoundly
question OF science, and one for
scientists to solve, 1t Is a CUES
ton of the human brain. and its
solution lies in the awakening of
the cells which make up the
thinking apparatus of man.
Psychologists believe that in the
human brain there are large
numbers of nerve cells that re-
main undeveloped because never
excited to functional activity,
and. also, that at any period OF
life cells hitherto inert may re-
ceive their proper stimulus and
become active.
Now, wherever these cells are
found, whether in the brain or
man or beast, they only await the
skill. the cunning. the patience OF
the expert educator to show the
world an idiot working at his
trade, a horse responsive to every

How can we make the brain of

In the case of the criminal, or
Degenerate. we will better him by
removing all conditions which in
cite to vice and by substituting
the allurements OF virtue. Many
States are to-day adopting the
humane policy OF treating their
prisoners, with the marvellous and
long fought for result that they
are converting their homes of de-
tention into places Of actual re-
form.
Viewed in this light, agencies
for race betterment are worthy of
promotion In proportion to their
power to increase the mentality
of the individual. These agen-
cies include everything that pro-
notes physical health and stimu-
lates to normal activity the five
special cell centers; seeing, hear
ing, smelling, hearing and tasting.
But to give the proper effort TO
these agencies requires a thor

classrooms exactly alike except
for the concealed wires in one
room. The regular school work
was pursued, and at the end of
six months these remarkable re-
suits were recorded:
The children in the magnetized
room increased in stature 2 Ia
inches; those in the unmagnetized
room increased but Ia inches.
~ The former increased in physi
cal development and in weight
much more than the latter.
Those exposed to the electrical
rays averaged 90 per cent in their
school work; those in the other
room averaged but 70 per cent.
Fifteen pupils in the electrified
room were marked 100 per cent.
The electrified children ap-
peared generally more active, and
much less subjected to fatigue.
The teachers in this room ex-
perienced a quickening of the
faculties and an increase of en-
durance.
This is but start along the
great highway of race betterment.
We are coming nearer 1t each
year, and active forces, strong,

One of the newest and most

1t is known as the Electrified

brains OF children are actually
stimulated to healthy activity by
electricity. Carefully insulated

and tests are carried on without
the knowledge of either pupils or
teacher. The air of the classroom
is completely saturated with in
calculanle millions of infinitesimal
electrical waves, vibrating at
frequency so great as to be uninl-
aginable and capable of measure

meter.

ThrillingLife Story Of Yankee Count
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

THE story of Benjamin
Thompson, who was knight
ed $50 years ago by the
King of England. is one Of the
most wonderful in the annals of
our country. But few lives in the
history of the race equal 1t in
thrilling interest and f1rst-class
romance.
Thompson, better known as
Count Rumford, was born in the
village of North Woburn, Massa-
chusetts, March 26, 1853. At 10
young Thompson was apprenticed
to a Salem merchant. Two years
later he became dry goods clerk
in Boston, and little later
schoolmaster at Bradford. At 10
Thompson quit teaching and
married a widow of twice his age.
Before the honeymoon was over
the Revolution was on the car
pet, the Sons of Liberty" treat
ed the young bridegroom rather
roughly, and he sailed for Eng
land, where he almost immediate
ly vaulted to high official posi-
ton. his aggregated salary
amounting to more than $4,000.
Taking a trip over to Bavaria,
THOMPSON captivated the Elect
or. who made him the first man
in the state. The confidence was
not misplaced, for instantly the
whole condition of affairs was
changed for the better. The

finances Of the country were put
on a sound basis, the army was
rejuvenated, and the multitude Of
tramps and beggars that had for
years been infesting the land
were wiped out as If by magic.
Thompson's work in Bavaria
brought him to the notice of the
Emperor, who made him Count of
the Holy Roman Empire. Re-
membering the little New Eng
land village where he was born.
Thompson took the title of Count
Rumford."
A many-sided man was the
Yankee Count. In this respect
our country has produced but one
man who can be compared with
him-Benjamin Franklin.
Brilliant as a star, he was at
the same time intensely practi-
cal. Ever busy with the study of
subjects reconcile and transcen-
dental, he was never for a mo-
ment unmindful of the common
affairs of earth. He founded the
Royal Institution. He was the
originator of the idea which, I'M
der General Booth, resulted in the
Salvation Army" Thompson
died at Auteuil, France, in 1914,
at the age of 81. and was buried
in the now disused cemetery
about which will ever hang the
glory and romance of the life
story IF the Yankee Count.

and for, the bigger and better
are we. There is only one rea-
son for sending a person to eth
er the penitentiary or the insane
asylum and that is because the
individual is unwilling or unable
to cooperate with other people.
Supervision.
Big business should be super
vised by the Government. because
the Government represents the
people, or the ultimate consumes.
In fact, we ourselves are the
Government. But this supervision
should be for the purpose of CO.
operation, quite as much as for
criticism and search for wrong
doing.
In every possible way the Gov
eminent should cooperate with
enterprise In order that increased
efficiency will follow. And ef11ci-
ency means producing the COM
modities that are necessary to life
in the most economical and efrec-
tive way.
Efficiency means better quality
and decreasing cost, and in this
work of efficiency the laborer, no
matter how mean his task, must
not be overlooked.
This man must have opportu-
nifty to grow, to evolve, to accu-
mulate, to become.
Also, old age pensions must be
encouraged. and a system Of ac-
cident insurance be placed on a
permanent business basis.
This to the end that litigation
may be eliminated, and the family
or those dependent on the in
jured man shall receive an in
demnity rather than that it
should be div1sed with lawyers.
On these things all good men are
agreed.
Need of Cooperation.
The question then reduces itself
to this: Shall the Government
continue to respond to the voice
of ignorance and superstition, and
continue to harass, hamper and
destroy the engines of prosperity?
To this employers and employees
everywhere say, NO!
What we want is industrial
peace and cooperation between
the Government and our great in
dustrial or welfare making insti-
tutions. This to the end that the
workingman shall prosper; that
the ultimate consumer shall be
able to buy his commodities at
the lowest possible prices con-
sistent with safe business. Also,
that he shall have a buying
power.
ALI business men, all workers,
all wage earners should unite in
common brotherhood and work
for the prosperity of all Ameri-
cans. to the end that Government
shall be on business basis, and
that the people of America shall
thrive and prosper and be happy
and reasonably content.

uTR U S t BUSTING" as
sometimes practiced, is
sport for politicians, but
means dynamiting prosperity and
puncturing pay rolls.
American dissolution and Eu-
ropean cooperation will surely
put the skids under our prosper
ity. &
In fact, the skids are under us
now. or there would not be a ca
pahle man out of work in all
America.
When big business is hand
cuffed, the working man suffers.
Exporting raw materials and
foodstuff means Swimming our
cream and giving 1t away.
We must use our raw materials
and consume our foodstuffs right
here. Then let us sell manufac-
tured products. BY so doing, we
siphon into this country the
wealth of the world, and in this
wealth all Of our wage earners
share.
Henry Ford first supplied the
home market. and when this was
supplied, he had facilities to sup
ply the foreign trade. And so to-
day there are Ford agents in
every civilized country in the
world.
Punish the Man.
Let nothing that is here said be
construed into a palliation of
wrongdoing.
Guilt is personal, and the man
who violates the rights of per-
son or property should be pun
ished. No fine fixed on corpo-
ration will answer Punish the
man!
Here is where President WI
son is on absolutely sound and
safe ground.
Also, President Wilson is right
in his view of interlocking direc-
torates.
Directors should be men who
direct. They should be directors
in fact as we'll as in name. One
thing that will make them so is
to hold them directly responsible
for the conduct of the business.
The conscience of the times has
been quickened. We now recog-
nize that truth is an asset, and a
lie is liability.
Every sane person knows that
he can only help himself by help
ing other people.
In order to prosper we must
add to the prosperity Of others.
He who seeks to exact from
the public for a commodity more
than the thing is worth is invit-
ing competition that will wipe
him off the business slate.
Cooperation, in the great mod
ern sense, always means joining
hands for a worthy and efficient
end.
Sanity manifests itself in an
ability to do teamwork, and the
more people we can work with
