reckoning of his stewardship IN this nfe
must be rendered by every human being
to God. In other words. the necessity
of religion and morality is constantly
emphasized.
The reason for this Is clear. First.
the facts referred to in the above para
cation which Is to be worthy of the
name must include a training along
these lines. There is no possibility OF
educating for life and real citizenship
unless these elements find place in the
training.
Secondly, II we are to have a race
of law abiding citizens respect for au-
thority must be taught. But II our
young men and women are taught that
there is nothing except matter; that
there is no such thing as an immortal
soul and a Supreme Being TO whom
that soul is subject, 1t Is an easy process
of reasoning to determine just how far
we shall succeed in persuading the
growing generation that 1t should be
law abiding. If am convinced that
with the last breath which I draw there
comes the end of all why should I
caro- for law or order? If it Is expedient
for me at the moment I shall obey the
law. 1t may save me an amount of
trouble But II 1t is more satisfactory
TO me I shall utterly disregard the law,
and what difference will it make in the
final reckoning?
Grave charges have been laid at the
door of the educators in many Of our
institutions during the last few years.
We are told that they are not turning
out finished product. 1t is asserted
that the aim of the educator Is vague.
There seems to be something wrong with
the man or woman who Is graduate Of
the college system now in vogue And
an analysis OF most Of these charges
reveals that the element Of the training
which Is lacking or has not been suf-
Aciently stressed Is the moral training.
Small wonder that the product seems to
be unfinished. 1t is In very truth un-
finished. The education Is out Of bal
ance and the balance can never be re-
gained until the missing element has
been supplied.
Tho tendency In these days seems to
be to make laws and more laws. The
tendency ought to be to make men.
Laws will never bring peace and order
until men are made to realize that law
should be obeyed and order preserved.
This state Of affairs cannot be brought
TO pass by drawing up new statutes and
codes of law. Nor will force Of steel
give greater success. The will Of man
has ever prevailed against force. and
hence 1t is that the will of man is to be
properly trained II we are to have any
thing like real civilization In the world.
Too Much Surface Morality.
The principal difficulty with which we
are brought face to face to-day is the
fact that a large number Of men are
guided in their actions only by a surface
morality. 1t does not penetrate to the
heart 1t does not take its rise in solid,
eternal principles. Hence 1t does not

Burns made 10 establish this exten-

International thieves was his talk
with members OF the international
Association for Identification which
recently was In convention In Wash
ington. This association plans to
eliminate entirely from its methods
OF Identifying crimin9ls the old es-
tablished Bertillon system. II has
been found, 1t was argued, not to
always be effective. But the finger
print is telltale piece of evidence
OF identity that cannot be erased.
There are no two fingerprints
alike-that Is. that no two persons
have the same Character of finger
prints" says Mr.. Burns. This fact
cannot be contradicted, says the
experts in fingerprinting and other
systems Of Identification.
But the International Association
for Idntification does not intend to
stop with assisting Chief Burns to
establish one of the greatest bu-
reaus for criminal Identification in
the world. but they intend to urge
Congress and the legislatures of all
OF the States to enact laws whereby
every man, woman and child will
be, by law, fingerprinted, the prints

The War Department also ras had
great results in the use of finger
prints as a means of Identification
and uncovering crime and Identify
Ing dead. Walter s. Kaye has been
in charge of the Identification work
In the War Department since 1889.
A year or two before that It be-
came evident that some means
would have TO be devised to put a
stop to the reenlisting In the army
men who had been dishonorably dis.
charged or deserted therefrom.
The Bertillon system of identifica-
ton was first thoaght Of In this
connection. but II was found to De
too bulky and burdensome for the
purpose. After due consideration an
outline.figure card was devised and
put in operation. The outline-figure
card consisted of the outline figure
Of man front and back on which
were recorded the scars ana marks
found on the person of the recruit.
At the time this system was put into
operation the standing army was

In size II was soon found that some
other means would have to be sought
for SO the finger:print system OF
identification took it's place In the

Identifying deserters and other de-
