ANCIENT RACE TRACED
TO STATUE OF APE

Did man exist on the North Am
erican continent in the palaeolithic
age?
This question, which has baffled
scientists for years, may be answer
ed with the finding of the statue,
hewn from granite, OF an ape hold
ing an infant of the same species to
its breast, at Selma Park, north Of
Victoria, B. C..
The discovery may mean the So
luton of many theories advanced
by scientists as to the probability
OF man migrating to the North AM
erican continent long before Baby
lonia was populated.

CURRICULUM or SCHOOLS MADE
FOR SUPERB ACE OF CHILDREN

Greeley, Col. Sept. IL" High
brow stuff" for children Of tender
age, in the form of advanced liter
AZURE, ethereal poetry, the solving
Of intricate mathematical problems
and spelling Of uncommon words is
detrimental to the child, according
to Dr.. Edward L. Thorndike, Of Co
lumbia University.
In lecture at the Colorado State
Teachers College here DR.. Thorn
diqe criticised educational reform
eTs who require children in the sew
enth and eight grades to pore over
literature and poetry, spell words
that they will likely never use and
figure out mathematical lessons that
will never help them in the ordinary
course of life.
These educational reformers,'
said the lecturer, seem concerned
with life in a better world than this
will be in this generation, or for
many generations to come. The time
has not yet arrived when children
of a super-race are entering our pub
lie schools"
DR.. Thorndike read poetry from 4
series of readers which he said were
in use in practically all elementary
schools, and, declaring that while
it was very beautiful, asked:
"Of what earthly good is it to
children"
He questioned its benefit in i'm.
proving the ability of children 10
read and expressed the opinion that
ethereal poetry would inspire ten
dency to avoid the reading of Bry-
ant and Wordsworth.
