Millions of years ago the great coal

gle species Of this carboniferous period
is known in all the living world. The
period was one of natures expert
mental stages in evolution and was
wiped out and followed by others.
Recently, the fossil remains of a
small plant, belonging to the club
MOSES, was found. This plant lived
during the carboniferous, period and
had learned to form a true seed. This
was great advance over all the low
er forms of vegetation of that period
and marked a distinct step in evolu-
ton. The question then arises: Why
did 1t not survive? The answer is not
known. 1t had the advantage of
propagation by seed, but it failed in
the struggle for survival. This plant
is called miadesima end it is of great
interest to scientists because of the
mystery surrounding its failure to ex-
list and because, if it had survived,
the world would be far different today.
for it would have different vegetation
and would not be in possession of the
flowers and fruits it now enjoys.

PRESIDENT
MISTAKEN
Citizen Takes Issue With
Coolidge Statement About

To The Editor Of The Times


What the President had in mind
when he said we need a faith broad
enough to let the people make their
own mistakes" would be of universal
interest just now. The statement is
too broad to be understandable, unless
we assume the attitude of a student
deeply interested in the rise of the
human race from the cradle up to the
presidency. Pray tell-why Is the
8President and Congressman obliged
to be of a certain age before they can
hold office? Why are not all the Con
gressmen elected to office at one and
the same time? They are supposed TO
be Government specialists and give to
the people the best they have to offer

or cook. or attorney, or captain of a

lectually, politically, economically" if
we are obliged to hobble along in each
Of these fields of action and conduct
making all the mistakes that would
necessarily accompany such an under
taking.
Let the people make their own mis-
takes" is not that very dangerous
thing to do among those entrusted
with affairs of estate? A teacher is
better than a bailiff only when he pre-
vents, instructs and warns the pupil;
physician is better than an under
taker only when he prevents his APP
pearance; newspapers are better than
law only when they inform the people;
minister must prevent, as well as re-
form the devils actions: a newspaper
may elect a good man or a bad one
through mistaken notions and infor-
nation, but should the people be made.
to suffer for such a mistake? Why
does he allow a Cabinet to advise him,
if not to avoid mistakes? Why did
he make Mr.. Stone instead of Mr..
Lucey a member Of the Cabinet. when

in life and then correcting them. The

Test Yourself

A 1o-year-old child should be the.
subject Of this test. Draft your son
or daughter or a neighbours child.
But you can also try it on yourself
and see how superior you are in NAM
ing words
The idea is to see how many words
can be named in three minutes. Have
some one keep time. telling when to
begin and when to stop Also. have
the timekeeper count the words as
they are said. Any words will do in
this test, such as book" "autonlo-
bile" goat" "air." etc. Urge the per
son being tested to do his best and
name as many words as he can as fast
as he can.
Words such as four" five" six"
etc, are not allowed; neither are words
put together forming sentences or
phrases, such as the little dog" All
words must be distinctly separate.
However, words having the same
meaning are acceptable. for instance,
That" cap" bonnet" etc.
The normal 1O-year-old should name
sixty words in the three minutes.
