To the end Of life the mind continues to expand and to
learn unless there be interfering disease
Everything else that lives has its period of growth,
maturity and decay.
The insect Of the air lives out its whole process

The elephant and turtle may live for centuries but
they have their cycles just the same and eventually pass

sions made upon our senses in
connection with names that in
themselves had no significance
whatever for us.
Now, to begin with, these ideas
relating to size, weight, ETC.,
were entirely haphazard in their
character and origin. Some Of
the measures. as, for instance,
the foot and the inch, may have
been suggested by the ordinary
dimensions of the human body,
and a pound may have been an
average meal Of meat; but even
so, they were badly combined,
lacking systematic connection and
interchangeability. They were not
fundamentally org an fee by
means Of fixed relations enabling
anybody to pass, by very simple
calculations, from one class OF
measurements. such as weight, to
another class, such as spacial di.
mension.
But here. where the old dis.
connected measures are absurdly
in fault, lies the great strength
and beauty Of the metric system.

r NOTICE a suggestion by q
professor that q good way
l. to promote the extension Of
use OF the metric system would
be by having the agricultural ex-
pertinent stations plot the!e ex-
perimental fields in meters, thus
inducing. or practically COMPEL.
ing, farmers to think. and conse.
quently to measure, in the units
Of the metric system. 1t Is
pointed out that the meter is of
the same order Of magnitude as
the yard, and that the yield Of
field expressed in Kilograms per
hectare approximates very closely
to that expressed in pounds per
acre.
1t may be worth while to ncte
that a meter equals 1887 inches,
or is 3.37 inches longer than a
yard. A hectare equals about
two and half acres can. A
hundredth of a hectare, called an
are, equals about one.fortieth Of
an acre, and would be found a
very convenient measure for
small plots. Ten ares equal one
quarter acre.
But the only effective method
Of promoting the universal adop.
ton OF the metric system in this
country is by teaching 1t to the
children In the pubic schools.
Arguments on this sui ject with
adults are almost useless. They
are not disposed to learn a new
set of arithmetic tables. 1t would
be almost as hard for many as
to learn a new language. These
things can only be successfully
presented to minds In the train
ing.
OF course, It would be neces.
sary to retain for q time in the
school books the old tables Of
English weights ana measures;
but their places should be re-
versed. The pupil should not be
asked what a hectare is, and
taught to reply: "a hectare iS
about two and a half acres" but
the question should be: What Is
an acre?" and the reply: IAN
acre is an old measure of land.
about two-fifths Of a hectare."

The pupil would be taught to
think in metric units, they being
for him always the basis of defi-
milton or comparison. After a
while the abandoned units would
become only historic curiosities.
The definition Of a yard would
stand on similar ground. with re-

It's dream. Trotzky knew little more he would know
that United States craftsmanship is the innocent in the

to carry them out if it did.
The funniest part Of Trotzy talk is his demand that he
