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 ala
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 80 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 a start along the
great highway of race betterlnent.
We are coming nearer it each
year, and active forces, strong,
active minds are working tire
lessly toward the ultimate end OF
a sound mind in sound body.

direct personal instruction of the
individual
One of the newest and most
wonderful methods of race better
ment is now maturing in New
York. 1t is fascinating in its in
terest.
1t is known as the Electrified
Schoolroom to Brighten Dull
Pupils" Under this plan the
brains of children are actually
stimulated to healthy activity by
electricity. Carefully insulated
wires are inserted in the walls
of the experimenting classrooms,
and tests are carried on without
the knowledge of either pupils or
teacher. The air OF the classroom
is completely saturated with in
calculable millions of infinitesimal
electrical waves, vibrating at a
frequency so great as to be unim-
aginable and capable of measure
ment only by most delicate volt
meter.
This new, novel and practical
method of awakening to activity
the dormant brain cells has been
subjected to trial on a large scale
at Stockholm, Sweden. Two sets
of so children each, averaging the
same age and same physical con-
dition, were placed in separate

TTOw can we make the lives
of our fellow-beings bet
ter and fuller?
This has been the question
over which philosophers, sclen-
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 ques-
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 of
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
word or gesture of his keeper, a
dog going on an errand by COM

mand of his master, learned pig
solving problems in arithmetic,
ants learned in military tactics,
or fieas expert in social functions.
How can we make the brain of
the defective most useful to its
possessor?
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
oughly competent teacher and the

~HE story of Benjamin
Thompson, who was knight
ed 1870 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 flrst-class
romance.
Thompson, better known as
Count Rumford, was born in the
village Of North Woburn, Massa-
chusetts, March &c, 1853. At 10
young Thompson was apprenticed
to a Salem merchant. Two years
later he became a dry goods clerk
in Boston, and little later a
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
" 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

and for, the bigger and better
are we. There is only one rea-
son for sending 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 consumer.
In fact, we ourselves are thu
Government. But this supervision
should be for the purpose of CO.
operation, quite as much as for
criticism and a search for wrong
doing.
In every possible way the Gov
eminent should cooperate with
enterprise in order that increased
efficiency will follow. And effici-
ency means producing the COM
modities that are necessary to life
In the most economical and effec-
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-

permanent business basis.

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 divided 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 buying
power.
All business men, all workers,
all wage earners should unite in
a common brotherhood and work
for the prosperity of all Ameri-
cans, to the end that Government
shall be on a business basis, and
that the people of America shall
thrive and prosper and be happy
and reasonably content
