Prof. Shaver was superintendent
Of the Roscoe Public School during

which time he had been a teacher In
the Southwest Texas Normal at San
Marcos. He was a splendid school

MEANING or PHlLAN-
THROPIC FOUNDATIONS

Several years ago the elder Rock
ofeller and Andrew Carnegie found
themselves possessed Of so much
wealth that 1t was burdensome to
them and they worried to find ways
TO get rid Of some OF IT,
There were millions Of poor people
who could have used small donations
there were thousands Of poorly paid
laborers. even engaged In making
the very wealth that these gentle
men possessed. who would have en-
ioyed a share Of the surplus in the
way OF increased wages, but they
didn't see proper to dispose OF It in
these ways They wanted to endow
colleges. establish libraries and In
other ways lay foundations for fu-
ture exploitation.
Hundreds Of towns got the idea
that a CARNEGIE library was magni-
ficient benefaction and hurried to
put up good big blocks Of the cost
in order TO get the balance from the
steel magnate. Some towns got the
libraries. and boosted Of them for
awhile and then the public forgot
about them
Now and then some suspicious fel.
low would suggest that the great
philanthropists probably had card
up the sleeve to be played at tho
proper time Such a suggestion was
frowned upon as uncharitable The
idea Of getting wads Of Carnegie and
Rockefeller money spent in the
south looked good.
The recent developments Of Rock.
cfeller Influence In Colorado aud else
where Is about to convince the pub
lie that these phllanthropic founda.
tions we're laid for purpose and
that purpose to undermine the prin-
ciplea OF organized labor.
A long process Of educational
methods and ideas will shape the
thoughts and control the destinles Of
a nation. and the fact Is now about
TO be admitted that the Rockefeller
and Carnegie foundations we're plan
ned to shape national thought and
control the lines Of education.

Mathematical Prodigy.

A mathematical genius has been
discovered in India. AS described in
the Manchester Guardian, he is about
fifteen years Of age, is wholly illit'
crate, looks simple, almost witless,
and is very shy. His brain is a mathe-
NAUTICAL machine, and seems to con-
tain nothing but mathematics. Any
question you may ask him that re-.
lates to figures he answers with aston.
ishing rapidity.
One Of his feats al the division of
a line of 16 figures by another line of
six. In another case he was asked
the cube of a large number, taken
from a table of such calculations in
a book. One numeral in his answer
differed from that in the book. The
examiner showed him the book, but
he insisted that he was right; the
sum was worked out on paper, and it
proved that the book was wrong and
that the boys computation was cor
rect. Physically, the boy IS abnormal.
He has too many fingers and toes, and
Is probably defective in other ways.
