BEWARE THE CLOSED MIND.
Keep Always In Touch With New Ideas
and New Methods.

Senator Lodge in an address deliver
ed at the Massachusetts, Institute Of
Technology coined remarkable phrase
in warning the students to 'beware of
the closed mind" gentle reproof Of
the cocksureness of the newly gradu-
ated. Senator Lodge said:
Beware Of the closed mind. This
sounds like a paradox when addressed
to young men, yet it will, think, bear
examination. 1t is truism to say that
the danger of maturity, and especially
of age, is the closing Of the mind to
new ideas. Habit, most powerful Of
influences, hard experience, the very
passage of the years, all alike tend to
stiffen the muscles and to harden the
arteries Of the mind as they do those OF
the body. 1t is a misfortune with
which advancing age must struggle,
and the effort is severe and too often
either neglected or fruitless.
But the same peril besets youth, al
though not for the same reason. The
great mass of young men go forth from
our universities, our institutes and
schools, prepared to learn and eager
for the knowledge which experience
alone can bring. Yet the disease of the
closed mind turks all about them and
curiously enough, is most likely to af
feet the cleverest, the ablest and the
most ambitious. This comes from
their very talents, from the high conf
dence which youth ought always tC
have and from the somewhat hasty
conclusion that because they. have
thought for themselves nobody else has
performed the same feat before.
1T is well to remember that the yer.
greatest men died learning, like Bacoi
and Pasteur. The greatest benefac
tons to humanity, the greatest service.
to human thought, have not all beer
bestowed or rendered by men under
twenty-five or even under forty years
of age, fact sometimes worthy of re
membrance. Do not, then, fall victims
to overconfidence and close your mind
The injunction is as important for
youth as for age-easy of attainment
for the former, difficult for the latter.
possible for both. The past and the
present. youth and age, new and old
all have their place in the sun; all are
needed for the widest learning, for the
highest achievement, for the best de
Selopmeist of mankind"

Tri-cOunty SanitOrium.

At meeting Of the joint com
mittee for establishing Bay
field, Iron and Ashland Tri-
county Sanitorium, a resolution
was passed requesting the chair
man Of each county com mittee
to secure information on possible
sites in his county. and forward
anne to {. A. Poundstone,
chairman of the joint committee
before January 1.
All proposals for Bay field
county should be sent to w. B.
Tripp Iron River of the Bay field
county committee.
The joint committee will en-.
terrain proposals for sites which
may be offered gratis or offered
for sale. It has been announced
that certain sites will be of 4red
gratis. The committee, how
ever, will not let this factor
alone determine it's choice. II il
is necessary to purchase site
to get the most desirable loca.
ton. to make the institution
servceable to the three counties
and economical to maintain. the
com mlttee will approve reason
able expenditure for this pur-
pose.
Important factors in a good
sanitorium site include the
following:
Accesability:---1t should be
near enough to good railroad
connection to provide supplies
and fuel economically, and to
make it easy to get patients to
md from the institution or to
have relatives visit them occasion
d ly.
Good Air:.-It should not be
near enough highway. manu-
featuring establishment or rail
road to be bothered with dust
and smoke.
Elevation: 1t should be high
enough TO com mand a good view,
and on soil which will drain
easily. A southern or south
western slope is desirable,
where the buildings can be
placed so as to have protection
from northernly winds. Acre
age. should be from forty
acres upwards. Something more
than forty acres is desirable.

MADDENING PROFESSIONS.
Your Work and Your Chances of Not
Becoming a Lunatic.

Your Work and Your Chances of Not
Becoming a Lunatic.
In view of the great increase of in
sanity during recent years, it is in
teresting to note the various classes OF
employment which are, more or less,
productive of madness.
A French scientist has recently been
Investigating this question, and his re-
searches go to show that. apart from
the terrible nerve strain of war, the
military and naval professions are the
very worst man can enter if he
wishes to go sane to the grave. Out of
every 100000 who enter the army and
navy 100 become confirmed lunatics.
The liberal professions come in as a
good second TO the army and navy, the
list being headed by artists, who are
very close followed by lawyers and
somewhat more distantly by the cler-
gy, doctors of medicine, men of letters
and civil servants. The number of
people in these professions who become
occupants OF lunatic asylums is 1T to
each 100000.
The professional men are run very
close by domestic servants and day Ia
borers, of whom 159 out OF each 100,-
600 are sent to the asylum. There is
big falling off before we arrive at
the next group. which is that of me-
chanics. only 66 of whom go mad in
each 100000.
And. curious to relate and contrary
10 all general belief. the group which
Is most highly favorable TO sanity is
that of commercial men. which sends
only AZ per 100000, or one in every
1850. of its ranks to confinement

"CITY MANAGER"
 NOT YET NAMED
REPORT HAS TT THAT CHARLES H. WEAVER MAY BE SELECTED
