~ EvERAL similar questions on
the same subject, received

the problem Of human speech Is
IN the mental atmosphere just

that exceed it in interest. Aris-
totle said that ''animals have

Cuvier averred that ''articulate
speech is the grand distinctive
character Of man." Huxley said
that "a man born dumb, notwith-
standing his great cerebral mass

Of strong intellectual instincts,
would be capable Of few higher
intellectual manifestations than
an orang or q chimpanzee Il he
were confined to the society Of
dumb associates"
Lord Monboddo, who was ahead
Of his age, and whose atheism"
troubled Doctor Samuel johnson,
the great talker and dictionary
maker, suggested that the cries
Of animals were expressions OF
emotions whose vestiges can be
detected in the speech Of savage
man.

Tower Of Babel view Of languages.

Bates College. May 22-Coach Jen-
kins is very busy getting his men
ready for the New England intercolle-
gate meet at Cambridge next Satur-
day. Although Bates is not expected
to be among the first to finish. she
will be well represented by at least two
sure point winners. Capt. "Cyke" Me-
Ginley and Clarence Archibald. These
two men have been displaying wonder
full running ability this spring. The
former will be pitted against Lermond.
the Boston College star, who came in
ahead of the Garnet captain at the re-
cent Penn relay carnival. Neverthe-
less the Maroon and Gold PAGER will
have no easy task ahead OF him; at
least the result Of the two-mile run
last Saturdays doesn't point that way.
In this event the Bates lad apparently
found no trouble in scoring win over
Payne, the Colby star.
In Archibald, Bates has one of the
best quarter milers in the country.
Archie" clipped whole second of the
State record last Saturday. However,
the Garnet fiier will be obliged to re-
peat his time Of so seconds in order to
cop over Jeppe OF N. I. T. and Mulvi-
hill of Holy, Cross. Both Of these men
travelled the distance in the same time
Saturday. With both men running
true to form next Saturday the fans
should be provided with a number of
thrills when these three get the word.
Aside from these two men the Lew
istonians will send Holt. Wills. Luce,
Corey, Sannella, Baker and Tracey.
Luce is expected TO place in the 1ayeIin
throw. as he COPIED second in the
meet last ySar.
