Merited Promotion.
anchorage Times. }

1t is with sincere regret that The Times announces
the transfer of B. w. Dyer, Federal Mine Inspector
from Anchorage to other fields During his brief
regime Mr. Dyer has accomplished great good for
this section of Alaska. In addition to strict atten-
tion to his regular duties Mr. Dyer often sacrificed
personal feelings and comforts in order to assist the
miner and prospector. Different from many public
officials Mr.. Dyer has injected the essential feature
OF personal interest in ibis endeavors which together
with pronounced technical and practical knowledge
has made his work eminently successful
The position of Mine Inspector is an all-importan
one for Anchorage at this time: it requires an Off
clal who will become interested in the DEVELOPMENT
and growth of the great industry as well as being
technically qualified. While The Times rejoices in
Mr.. Dyer's merited advancement, We regret his de-
parture and realize that the vacancy will be hard
to fill.

YOUR BRAIN

A Brain wizard, Chesley NJ. Hutchings, sits in aroom at
Harvard University. For three hours - professors direct at
him a rapid fire of questions in the form of an examination
in Romance languages and literature"
Hutchings answers every question-promptly, accurately
1t is such a phenomenal showing that the telegraph wires
Hutchings, it is disclosed, is an expert in Is languages.
That is interesting news, for most of us have difficulty hand
ling one language.
Without disparaging Hutchings' admirable feat, few peos
pie need envy him, for the very simple reason that few PEG
pie ever have occasion to use Is languages.
Life is short. 1t is a hard and constant struggle for most
people to keep away from the breadlne. The limited time
available to the average person for study must be devoted
largely to practical things.
Later, if automatic machinery frees man from slavery of
muscles. concentration and time. purely intellectual or cul-
tured pursuits will be desirable for all.
It used to be that all education was akin to pumping 10
languages into the individual brain. Steadily we shift to the
goal Of teaching people how to find knowledge when they
need it-where to look for it and how to understand it
rather than attempting to cram the brain with information
rarely used.
II some one asks you where Liberia is. it affords a thrill
to be able to answer. More important is the ability to know
how to ascertain Liberals geographical location quickly,
when there is occasion to use the information.
Obviously, there are exceptions, the greatest being
science. No man can get into his brain too much knowledge
about astronomy, biology, psychology, dimensional mathe-
matics and other forms of original truth.
Those are the great messages worth receiving and re-
tanning. Language is merely the box that holds them. Learn
ing two languages is like learning penmanship and typewrit-
ing, which are merely two different systems for conveying
the same pieces of information.
Thinking comes with knowledge. But the ability to think
and to locate information when it is needed is more valuable
than having the brain cluttered with what, for all practical
purposes, is useless information
This is materialistic philosophy. But it's a material world.

THE U

When the county paving program for this year was first
announced much account was made of the fact that warren
lite was not mentioned among the materials specified, the
Inference being that the freeholders had decided to drop
patent pavement. But as other materials put out by the pa
tent pavement interests were specified the people were not
deceived.
1t seems now, however, that the bluff is not to be car
ried out any longer. The Standard Bitulithic Company,
which is the patent pavement crowd, has been awarded the
contract for paving Upper Green street, Woodbridge, and
for State street, this city, an ~asphaltic substance known as
national is to be used.
The fact will not be overlooked that while the reinfor-
,ed concrete foundation will cost 81 go per square yard, the
yarrenite dressing alone to be used on Green street will cost
s2.17 per square yard. Fat ~pickings for the much favored
patent pavement crowd.
The taxpayers are watching these things. They are
too, so that they can the better accomplish their
purpose. They do not propose to have their properties con-
seated without fight. The people are long suffering and
lin stand for a great deal, but there is always q limit. Judg-
from a movement now afoot among the taxpayers rep
.senting all sections of the county, the f~reeholders will real
IS that the limit has been reached. The coming election is
BE- likely to be as much of a walk-over as was the election
