HOW 10 ADVERTISE

Erie W. Allin, head of the depart
ment OF journalism in state univer-
sity of Oregon in addressing citizens Of
Glendale, Ore, on the subject, The
Newspaper in Your Town" said:
advertising in the country paper
is the best investment a merchant can
make. The merchants advertising
should be news. Ii should tell some
thing very definite about what the
store offers, and the copy should be
changed frequently. The advertising
columns should be made as interest
ing as any other part OF the paper,
and the merchants 'ad' should appear
with the same regularity as the editors
news. An advertisement in the local
paper is by no means charity. 1t
brings big returns; first, in direct bus
mess when il is handled with a little
common sense second, in building up
the community.
The paper should be made as inn
portant an agent of a towns improve
ment and prosperity as the church or
school. The great problem of the
small town in these days Of central
ization and parcel post is to make it's
self a good place 10 live in and n
pleasant place for the country people
to come to. II it doesn't do that it is
doomed TO disappear.
mo town should be shortsighted as
not to give every encouragement to the
man who is trying to make a news
paper there. He is in one sense the
most important sitizen. He can do
more for the town both at home and
abroad than any other one man. He
should be backed up in his effort TO
do business at business prices and in
a business way. 1t would be as SEN
sible for you TO let your schools run
down, as to let your newspaper run
down"

THEORIES ABOUT RACE

There are certainly marked differ
ences between a German, a French
man. an Englishman, a Chinese. a
Hindu. a Japanese a Turk, but these
differences are due to the influence
OF the milieu and not to an inherent
Structure OF the mind. The mind
of man has developed slowly through
some hundred thousand years, but the
differentiation into Frenchmen, Ger
mans, Spaniards and Englishmen did
not occur more than fifteen centuries
ago We may be fairly safe in think
ing that six thousand years ago, even
the larger races-Semites Caucasians,
Mongolians-were not differentiated.
What are six thousand years compared

strain OF the profession. As a result
OF these facts IL is highly desirable that
Michigan should provide for those men
and women who give the best years
OF their life by passing a retirement
fund law, as &c other states have al
ready done.
Under the present proposed Michi-
gan law practically all the funds for
carrying out the provision OF the law
would come from the teachers them
selves. Teachers who are now teach
ing would not be required to come un-
der the provision OF the law unless
they desired to do so, but those teach
ers who might become teachers after
the passing OF the law would come un-
der the law and would be obliged To
pay an annual assessment into the re-
tirement fund. From this fund re-
tired teachers would be paid one-half
of their first years earnings. Teachers
would not be eligible until after they
had taught 25 years. In case the as
sesment on the teachers was not suffi-
cient to meet the demands Of the re-
tired salaries, the state would make
up the deficit. This is substantially in
accordance with the law OF &c states,
perience shows that the states have
very little to pay.
The opponents of the bill are going
to unlimited ends To defeat it's pas
sage The statement has been cir
culated that it would cost Michigan
million dollars year to put such law
into effect. Anyone interested can cas-
ly versify the falsity OF this by cor
with the Supt. Of Public In
struction of anyone of the 26 states
in which they have such law. The
usual method Of defeating any worthy
legislation in the State of Michigan, Is
to tell the taxpayers it is going to
add TO their taxes. II will be mis-
fortune for Michigan if the present
legislature allows itself TO be mis-
led by such cheap tastics, and re-
fuses its sanction to such worthy meas
ures

to the hundred thousand or probably
more that we must ascribe To the de-
velopment OF human psychology? The
psychology OF man consists OF certain
reactions, emotional and intellectual,
To the external stimuli of life and
nature. IL is these primitive elements
which really determine the actions OF
the individual, and these elements are
almost Interchangeable because they are
SO old that they have become a part OF
mans nature. They must be the same
in all races because they were evolved
when those races were still undiffer-
entiated. That which has been CON
tributed to the evolution OF the hui
man mind by the last two thousand
years is much less solidly anchored
and much more liable to modification;
however. il must be borne i'm mind
that. owing TO the law OF geometrical
progression which obtains in the do
main Of mans progress, the newer ele-
ments. those OF divergence between
the races. will be the more numerous;
they will also be the more striking,
apparently because they deal with re-
cent aspects of life which are still
conscious, while the more ancient ones
have been relegated to the domain of
the unconscious.
The Tradesman's thesis is that the
German, the Japanese, the Russian
and the Spaniard present at birth the
same material mentally. They grow
to be different because the customs,
the habits and the institutions Of the
countries i'm which they live and are
educated are different. But the mer-
est philosophical anal sis of their
modes of thought will show that the
differences are almost purely external.
The Chinese wear white for mourning,
while the Occidentals wear black, but
the feelings of both towards death are
fundamentally the same.
Disregarding the economic aspect Of
the question, which is quite another
matter and considering only the
eugenic side, the fear of lowering the
moral standard Of the race is inbound
ed. If not the first generation Of inn
migrants. at least their children will
become thoroughly AmericaniZed.
American civilization, on the whole,
represents the elimination OF partic-
ularism. 1t looms up full Of promise
for the future, because all the races
which make desirable citizens and
patriotic components Of the American
commonwealth have by instinct drop
ped the prejudices OF their original
homes and retained only the aspira-
tons for freedom, generosity, fair play
and idealism which are really common
TO all Observation-Disclosures Trades

THE RETIREMENT FUND BILL
FOR TEACHERS

Among the important bills for con-
sideration before the legislature is the
Retirement Fund Bill for teachers A
careful study OF the demands upon
a teachers time and money and wages
paid for their services will lead any
fair hinder man or woman TO a reali-
zation Of the fact that in order TO hold
the best people in the teaching profess
sion, il is necessary to establish the
profession on permanent basis. This
is particularly true in Michigan The
average wage Of the Michigan teacher
Is much below that of other Northern
and Western States The average
wage Of the Michigan teacher is $3.50
per year In reaching these figures
superintendent and college professors
Who earn larger salaries have been
included. In California teachers
earnings are s91S per year, nearly
twice that of Michigan teachers. The
1912 report Of the United States Labor
Commissioner states that the average
earnings of carpenters is sS02, coal
miners $3.50, factory hands, $513
teachers SASS.
In considering this comparison il is
also proper to bear in mind that teach
ing is one Of the most strenuous oc-
equations Few teachers are able to
stand school room work for more than
Is or 20 years. Only those who have
been teachers realize the nervous

GRAND CAYMAN
TRAND CAYMAN, an island of the

TRAND CAYMAN, an island of the
IT Caribbean Sea between Cuba and
Jamaica, is a civilized, white
mans country without doctors, lawy-
ers or jails. When yellow fever or
smallpox is introduced, it dies out of
Itself, so healthy are the people. When
a member of the colony offends the
law he is told to go away and does
so, but few ever offend. There is no
ltigation, because the members of
TINS colony insist on helping their fell
lows instead of taking from them.
There is almost no government in
Grand Cayman, because none IS need
ed. 1t is British territory, governed
by an assistant commissioner under
the administrator of the affairs of
Jamaica. The taxes are nominal and
spent almost entirely upon schools
and roads
The island is fifteen miles long and
tour wide, having population of g.
600 people. 1t is gem of productive
ness, and family may live on the re-
turns from an acre of groune which
may be bought for ten dollars. The
necessities of life come so easily that
theer is no desire for wealth and no.
body possesses it. The people help
each other with their work without
pay. There is almost no money on
the island.
These people speak English. They
are descendants of old Cromwellian
'Roundheads who came to tn;s maven
in 1865, and planted co.ony or but
twenty or thirty people. To them
nave been added chance corners -

party of Seminole Indians brought
here from Florida by an American ad-
venturer who sought to establish a
kingdom. All have been fused to-
gether in race that is still English
but bit Swarthy from the vropic sun
and the introduction of darker blood
The original stock was much like
that which settled New England. Be-
ing planted on a tropical island and
isolated for centuries, it developed
differently. The Cayman islanders
are still devoutly religious, their guild
ing principle being helpfulness to one
another. There are those who say
that the principles of Christianity
have been better preserved and prac-
ticed here than anywhere else.
The remarkable community here
planted is upon an island rnat seemed
to rise from the sea 70 receive It,
Grand Cayman is still rising at the
rate of a quarter of an inch a year.
It's high point is but twenty feet above
sea level, and it is therefore figured
that it was newborn and much small
er when first discovered.
The Cayman islanders are all above
six feet and the best sailor men of
their part of the world. They still talk
in the English of Shakespeare. There
are many families of twenty children.
The birth rate is three times the death
rate. You talk of civilization" said
one of these men to a visitor, "yet one
of our men sailed before the mast 70
your New York and there was hungry
and no man offered him anything to
eat. This could not have happened in
Cayman."

ness is made by DR.. Joseph Kalbfus,
secretary of the State Game Commits
sion, in the foreword of the 1915 game,
fish and forestry laws. The laws are
the biennial publication of the digests
relating to the outdoor activities of
the State and afford opportunity for
discussion of advantages.
The ability acquired by young
America in the pursuit of game
says the foreword, 'in the handling
of the gun, in taking care of himself
in the fields or in the forests or on
the water. has made it possible for
cur volunteers to become with limited
discipline and drill the equal of any
regular on the face of the earth.
cite as illustration the work done by
Jackson's men at New Orleans, the
efficiency of our own Pennsylvania
Bucktails during the Civil War, the
work of the Boer in South Africa.
The State owes it to itself, If
for no other reason. to supply it's
young men with the incentive for
training in the shape of game, without
which they can not and will not be
fitted to meet demands made upon
them"
The foreword says that last year
5000 men camped on State lands and
905,02 hunters licenses were issued
in 1913 and fully as many in 1914.
