There was a requiem, how

A boy of 13 is an applicant for admission to a
standard college as a regular student. 1t appears
that he has the necessary academic qualifications,
and the only bar to his entrance is his youth, The
boys mother attributes his remarkable educational
progress to be due quite largely to the fact that in
his early childhood he was permitted to play with
a typewriter. and thus became familiar at a much
earlier age than usual with letters, words, and the
idea that all children may be fitted for college by
In this case the mother does not advance the
idea that all cheldren may be fitted for college BY
the time they reach the age of 10 by the simple ex-
pedlent OF giving them typewriters as playthings.
That would be the conclusion reached by not a few
who have urged the use of unusual devices for the
of intellectual growth because occasion
al children with whom those methods have been used
have have made remarkable progress.
In spite of the numerous instances of rapid de-
v%elopment attributed to the adoption Of this or that
method, we do not seem to have made much real
progress in the speeding up of intellectual processes.
Nor does it appear likely that we shall make great
progress in that direction. While the fact is not
similar to those which govern physical growth OPP
crate in his intellectual development. The child's
body passes through several stages before it reaches
maturity, and each of those stages requires time.
The time required varies somewhat with the indi-
vidual, but there is a certain general standard from
which the great variations are comparatively rare.
Mans stature, strength, voice and other physical
characteristics are not reached in the years of child
hood. Neither is intellectual maturity to be 'ex-
pected then. r&,."I..
The possibilities of the race are not to be esti-
mated on the basis of the achievements of prodigies.
Any normal child may be crammed with informa-
ton, and may even be trained to a sort Of under
standing beyond his years. Possibly his real mental
maturity may be fastened a little. But all the ex-
perience that we have furnishes no basis for the be-
lief often expressed that by any patent process we
can shorten very greatly the period of intellectual

growth. 1t is probably we'll that it is so, for the
period of childhood is none too long as it is.

OF their property as substantial, as slightly and as
well finished as is provided on any other street, and
they are no more responsible than others BY having

The street railway problem in Grand Forks is
one which affects the entire city, and not the resi-

a particular street. If a satisfactory solution is to

A news dispatch dealing with conditions IN
China says that prospects for popular government
in China are poor, as out of the warning factions in
that country has grown a condition in which mill
tary relationships have sprung up here and there,
with little prospect of the unifcation of the country
under a common government representative of the
people, and responsible to them. The chances APP
pear to lie in two directions, reversion of the whole
country to a state of comparative anarchy, or the
creation of several small states in most Of which the
monarchical idea will dominate.
The road to real popular government is a long
and difficult one. Most Americans, no matter
where born, come of races whose traditions Of self
government reach back for many centuries. Kings
and emperors may have sat on the thrones of the
countries whence they came, but in spite of mon
archical forms, the people themselves claimed and
enjoyed a very real measure of self government.
The thirteen American colonies asserted themselves,
not as the discoveries of a new principle, but as the
defenders of liberties which their forefathers had
enjoyed, to which they themselves were entitled,
and which they were determined to retain.
Yet, with their traditions and their experience,
the colonists had a hard time to organize a govern
ment which would hold together. So hopeless did
the task seem at one time that influential men con-
sidered seriously the plan of proclaiming Washing
ton king of the new nation. d.
There can be no real self government without
understanding, and the Chinese millions in under
standing of the principles of government are cen
turtles behind the American colonists of revolution
airy times. In the very nature of the case the move
ment for the creation of a republic in that country
was a matter of leadership. Individuals, in their
cities and villages, and on their farms, responded as
local contingents might dictate to the urge of local
leaders when they espoused this OF that cause. There
was no such thing as a common sentiment, for there
was no common meeting ground, no means whereby
ideas could be interchanged and issues discussed.
The republic that was formed was a paper re-
public. Under favorable conditions it might have
become real. At times it seemed that this might
result. But the leader at once great enough and
patriotic enough to consolidate the local leaderships
into a general and effective movement for real de-
mocracy, was lacking, and the Chinese republic of
which men have dreamed seems to be a long way
off.

O.. Why was a church which Cen
e-al Washington attended called Po-
hick church? D.,H.
A. The church was given this
name on account Of it's proximity to
Pohick Run. This was probably so
named because of the many hickory
trees growing there. Pawcohiccora,
a food of the Algonquin Indians of
Virginia, was made Of the pounded
nut kernels and water. The name
was transferred by the whites to the
tree bearing the nuts, and was short
ened to pohickery and finally to hick-
