The authorities of Harvard Univer-
sity have been able to persuade the
United States Interdepartmental Sociai
Hygiene Board, which has had a large
sum of money appropriated to 1t by
Congress for work in the prevention
OF social disease, that the best attack
could be made upon these things by
intoxicating in the youth Of the coun-
try-the men who are going to be in
general the leading men OF the coun-
try. the fathers OF families-certain
wholesome habits Of living, including
physical exercise. Prof. Lee and his
associates do not believe that It is ever
wise to feature social diseases as such,
because the very featuring Of them in
that way is very likely to lead boys to
be interpretive and TO think more Of
that sort OF thing than they should
and more than would be good for
them.
Because of this persuasion Harvard
has been able to obtain from the
Social Hygiene Board a grant OF s1s,-
600 for personal services in connection
with the university's physical train
ing experiment. This money Ii to be
used solely for personal service. and

Early indian Agriculture.

When the white men first arrived in
this country they found an aboriginal
population mainly sedentary and agri-
cultural. The Indians were mostly
farmers, peacefully disposed and dwell
Ing In villages. Predatory and unscrupu-
lous, after the manner of his kind, the
intruding Caucasian drove them to war
and forced them to adopt rowing and
unsettled mode of existence.
Corn was their principal crop-a ce-
real unknown to Europe. How ex-
tensively they grew it may be Judged
from the fact that in 1855 the British
destroyed $4,000 acres of maize plant
ed by the Senecas.
The Indians Of pre-Columbian days
pursued agriculture on a cooperative
plan. Large fields of corn were made
up Of hundreds of individual fields.
The squaws stirred the fruitful earth
and planted the grain. At harvest
time the men and boys helped to gath
er the ripe ears.

APPOINTMENT OF
CHARTER COMMISSION
UP TO THE MAYOR
Counselor RnIIman's Motion to Change
Method Voted Down By Count
z To 2

In the course of the meeting of the
City Council last night, issue was rails
ed as to the course that is to be pur-
sued in the naming of Charter Com
mission for Annapolis, which commits
sion is to outline certain reyisions in
the City Charter as means of provid-
ing additional revenue for the city, and
for other purposes.
Several weeks ago, 1t will be recall
ed, the Council authorized Mayor Levy
to appoint such a commission, at
which time he stated that this would
be one of the first acts of his admin
istration. Shortly thereafter. how
ever, the Mayor stated that he would
withhold naming the commission
pending the outcome of the Primary
Election, and this was later confirmed
by him. At the meeting last night,
fter long amount of routine business
had been disposed of, Counselor Rull-
man moved that the vote by which the
resolution was adopted be recon
sidered. In explanation Of his motion,
Mr.. Rullman stated he felt that the
Mayor and members of the Council
should act more in cooperation in the
naming of a Charter Commission.
Mayor Levy at once took umbrage at
Counselor Rullman's motion, and ad-
dressing his colleagues said he re-
garded 1t as reflection upon his hon
esty and integrity. He also asserted
it was nothing more than following up
other attacks that had been made on
him to the effect that he was playing
factional politics in the matter. He
says he has all along intended to con-
suit the members of the Council on all
matters pertaining to the Commission,
and not only that, but that as Mayor
of the city, he intended to serve the
people generally. After some discus
sion, Counselor Rullman's motion was
put and was voted down, to 2, Alder
man Wells voting with him in the af-
firmative.
