MENTALITY AND THE TEETH.
(The Outlook)

Some time ago an experiment was
carried on in Cleveland school under
the auspices of the National Dental
Association and other dental societies
to discover if bad teeth had any effect
on mentality. Ten dentists, with
nurses and attendants, visited the
Marion school by arrangement with
the board of education and inspected
the teeth of the S46 students. Forty
pupils from five grades-approxim
ately 10 per cent of the children of
those grades-were made a special
class for observation and study. These
children were to have their teeth put
in perfect condition free, to be made
to brush their teeth three times a day
and to eat properly. A SIS gold piece
was offered to each child who contin-
ued faithful throughout the test.
Twenty-seven of the 40 got their gold
pieces, The test lasted a year and a
half.
Before anything else was done two
psychological tests were held by DR..
Wallin, the noted psychologist, to de-
termine the capacity of the children in
memory, accuracy of perception, ra-
pidity and accuracy of thought, and
spontaneity of thought and differen-
tiatlon. Two more tests were held
while the children's teeth were being
treated; and two others a sufficient
length of time after the mouths were
put in perfect condition.
Among the children were some who
were well behaved, earnest and bright,
while some were disobedient. reckless
and troublesome. The selection for the
class were made wholly according to
the dental charts, only children with
teeth in bad condition being chosen.
Most of the children had sallow, mud
dy complications and suffered from
headaches, liver complaint, heart trou-
BILE and other ills.

feet condition and the children had

TAXATION OF MINES.
Federal Court in Local Case Upholds
the Idaho Law.

The provisions of the Idaho statytAS
for taxation of mining property bv
assessing the net proceeds of opera
tons for the preceding year, instead Of
basing the tax on the value of ore
bodies in place, were recently attack
ed before the United States district
court for the district of Idaho as being
violative Of the state constitution
which requires all taxes to be levied
in proportion to value and to be uni
form upon the same class of subjects,
The court, however, upheld the valid
ity of the statutes. (Hanley VS.. Fed

ment october, 1916.
Thus the enrolment has increased in
the biennum 80 per cent.
In the last two bienniums since 1913
the enrolment has increased from
1903 to 2470 or GA per cent, If this has
taken place in the last four years of
comparatively slow development in
the state, what is going to happen in
the wave of progress that is noNDfelt
in every corner of the state?.
This is not an exceptional rate of
growth. The state schools of Iowa
grew just little faster for period
of four Years during which the >popu-
lation actually decreased little. What
is to come in Idaho, no less active than
Iowa certainly, with rapidly increas-
ing population? Let us face the facts,
and reckon with the future.
Can Appropriations Stand Still?
Clearly a department Of state bust
ness growing at such a pace can not
be maintained even at par without in
creasing @funds. But in 1915 appropri-
atoms totaled less than those of 1918.
What is to be done in 1917?
The state has two alternatives: To
grant more funds or to throttle the
growth and development.
Increasing Scope of Work.
Beside the increase in enrolment
the institutions are undertaking and
must undertake new lines of service.
Ten years ago the university itself
was little more than a high school.
Now it is a genuine university. of
which the state will be increasingly
proud.
The technical institute at Pocatello
two years ago was the academy of
Idaho with four year course like any
high school. Now it offers two years
of substantial college work for grad
yates of the high schools in southern
and eastern Idaho.
The Albion normal school has de-
veloped a strong department of rural
education, plan which is being imi-
tated in many places throughout the
country.
Does the state approve of its educa-
tional institutions keeping pace with
the growth of population, industry and
general progress?

COLEMAN CHRISTMAS
REDUCED PRISON TERM
GOVERNOR VOTED AGAINST IT
CONSIDERATION HAD BEEN
PROMISED.

A Christmas present was slipped
into Fred P, Coleman's stocking when
the state board of pardons met Friday
morning and definitely fixed his SEN
tence in the penitentiary at two and
one half years. The boards action
will liberate the former deputy state
treasurer under o. V. Allen about the
middle of February, says the Boise
statesman.
This action was not in the nature of
a pardon. When Coleman was con-
victed of embezzling state funds, the
court gave him an indefinite sentence
of from two and one-half to five years.
He would have completed his mini
mum sentence in May, when he would
have been eligible to parole He has
obeyed the rules of the prison, and for
that he has been given some time off
from his sentence, as are all other
prisoners who have no demerit marks.
Pardon Was Refused.
Coleman was denied a pardon by the
board Thursday, as was o. " Allen,
and the action of the board Friday in
definitely fixing his sentence came as
a distinct surprise Attorney General
Peterson had voted to pardon Cole
man. Governor Alexander and Secre-
tary of State Barker voted against It.
! Barker called the application up in
board meeting for reconsideration Fri
day. He said that in view of the SER
vice rendered the state by the former
deputy state treasurer when the state
was trying to collect from the Ma
tional Surety company on Aliens bond
he believed he was entitled to clemen-
cy. Barker denied having had voice
in making Coleman a promise of elem
ency when he appeared before the
state depository board and consented
to help trace the shortage in the treas
urer's office, but he said such a prom
Use had been made.

and the state depository board Is the

Admitted by Governor.
The governor too. admitted that

explained that he had since been in
formed that Coleman had bad record

Nor did he.
Attorney General Peterson had said
Thursday that the depository board
had made Coleman an indirect prom

to fix the former deputy treasurer's
sentence at definite time of expira- |

Overcoming Real Difficulties.

One of the real difficulties which we
encountered was to have the foremen
or mechanical men In charge slow
their work down to a point where the
operations were conducted in a safe
manner. There Is always a tendency
to push the bb along. That is almost
invariably one of the elements which
we have In operating. and when the
limit at which the men can move
safely and securely is exceeded, you
are going to have bad accidents This
was difficult point to overcome, but
believe 1t has been overcome by con.
tinued and energetic effort and warn
ings.
One more point: We do not believe
generally in bonuses and premiums in
welfare work, but in one respect we
have diverged little from this. We
give cigars to the departments that
have gone through the month without
accident. The cost is not great, and
the benefit has been real. 1t mikes a
little distinction between those who
have been careful and those who have
allowed accidents to creep in.
In concluding | must add that the
methods outlined are good, and that
our safety and welfare man, Mr..
Rasmussen, who is simply bunch Of
enthusiasm in himself, has the happy
faculty of imparting this enthusiasm
to others, and is in this way largely
responsible for our obtaining the re-
suits which show for themselves.

UNDER the heading, "Orthodoxy,"
Rev. Thomas B. Gregory in last Sum
days Republic, gives US very inter-
esting and instructive sermon. Ask
ing, "what is orthodoxy" heanswers
it is, mainly, "nothing in the world
but prejudice" Continuing, he says:
1t was orthodoxy that gave Socrates
the fatal hemlock, that crucified Je
sus of Nazareth, that knocked Hypa-
tia on the head and tore the flesh
from her bones with oyster shells,
that prosecuted the God-intoxicated'
Spinoza, that kindled the fire of re-
ligious persecution, that started the
hell on earth that consumed a great
many more human lives than Will be
sacrificed in the present great world
war.
Rev. Gregory could have also noted
the burning of Michael Servetus
through the brotherly interposition
of the sanity John Calvin who main
tanned that the orthodox reading was
"The eternal Jesus Christ, the Son of
God," against Servetus' heterodox rem
dition, "Jesus Christ, the son of the
eternal God"
The sermon is consequent upon a
row in the Presby terian ranks be-
cause of the admission of three can
didates into the ministry by an over
whelming vote, against the protests
of the true blue.
1t was demonstrated that they thor
oughly believed in the fatherhood of
God, the brotherhood of men, the
beauty and necessity of Jesus teach
ings as outlined in the gospels and
tested in human experience, and that
it was their sincere desire to do what
they could to get their fellow men to
live up to those teachings. 1t de-
veloped that the candidates were un-
orthodox enough to believe that Je-
sus had father and mother like all
the rest of Us; that he was the son of
God in the same sense that all other
men are; that at death his Esprit re-
turned to God" and his body to earth,
as is the case with the rest of Gods
children, but, despite this fact, the
candidates passed triumphantly
through the ordeal.
This makes me feel better. I find,
according to the Presbytery, that I
am by no means black sheep, for
can subscribe to the articles of faith
set out in the foregoing, without
mental reservation or secret evasion.
