SCHOOL SYSTEM

EDUCATOR !.
Prescribing Same Studies for
All Children Unfair, He
Tells Conference.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-The common
practice Of prescribing the same

It's entirety, said H. M. Corning
superintendent of the Trinidad
Colo, schools, today before the
meeting here of the Department OF
Superintendent of the National
Education Association.
He said intelligence tests had re-
vealed feeble-minded children and
others of the near-genius type in
the same class room. The same
studies for both, Corning said
works hardship on the near-idiot
while the genius skips from class
to class with ease, with the result
that by not applying himself his
mind becomes lethargic and flabby

FOX IS MAKING
SUCCESSOR To
THE SHE|K'
Desert Scenes Are Being
Photographed on Sahara
Like Dunes Along Pacific.

HOLLYWOOD. Cal, Feb. 26.-In
face Of the agitation against cos
tune plays, and the consequent high
cost of production, William Fox has
begun work on 1.-THE Shadow Of the
East" story of the Sahara desert.
1t ia the novel of f. M. Hull, and
was written following her now IA
nous "The Sheik."
Desert scenes are being photo
graphed five miles from Oxnard,
Cal. Practically every Sahara desert
picture produced in the last ten
years has been made in this loca-
ton. There is a stretch of sand
dunes of several miles along the Pa,
clfic ocean near Oxnard, and direc-
tors contend that 1t looks more like
Sahara than the real thing.
Conway Tearle can fight his own
battles. Anyway, the fact has come
out that he was q prize fighter in
England before he became an actor,
He is one Of the highest priced
actors in the cinema realm and has
been playing opposite Norma and
Constance Talmadge. Tearle reused
the ire Of many Hollywood actors
recently when he boldly announced
that no actor was worth more than
$500 a week for his performance.
and after that he must have dis.
tinct box office value.
When May Allison held up a
Metro production for two weeks
several years ago, because she had
a fever blister on her upper lin and.
therefore, could not be photographed
In close-ups, found its parallel this
week when Lilyan, Tashman skinned
her kneecap. Evelyn Brent held up
a picture, too, not long ago, when
she suffered a nervous breakdown,
Jesse d. Hampton, who has re-
made '"rhe Spoilers" has departed
for New York to find another story
to produce.
Hollywood hears on more or less
good authority that Harold Lloyd
will finance company which will
produce pictures starring his wife,
Mildred Davis.
Rupert Hughes has lost his wife's
favortte lap dog, Mrs. Hughes rs
in the Orient. Hughes philosophical
thusly over the loss of the dog:
"Some people express scorn for
people who love lap dogs, but, when
lap children grow up, the heart is
apt to turn to a lap dog, and I
doubt the real affection for children
alleged by those curious persons
who cannot love dogs"
Mrs. Sessue Hayakwa has come
home from Paris to sell the magnifi.
cent castle-like home she and her
husband own in Hollywood. It's
value has not been stated, but the
house and land should be worth
around 100000. The house was
built by German, and is a replica
OF a castle on the Rhine. Hayakwa
has been in Paris for almost a
year, and now has signed a contract
which will keep him abroad several
years. He is to make pictures in
England.

CELLS IN BODY
SOULS, SAYS
EDISON
Wizard of Electricity Asserts
These Little People" Have
Both Reason and Morals.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-That per-
sonality ends with the life Of the
body, that there is no evidence of
o soul and that there Is no such
thing as immortality, az the term
II commonly understood, is the be-
lief of Thomas Edison as expressed
In the March issue OF Hearst s
International Magazine,
He believes that we are made up
Of cells that have intelligence as
well as mortality and that the cells
continue to live after death. He
asserts:
81 believe that my brain Is in.
capable OF conceiving such thing
as soul. / may be in error and
man may have a soul, but I sim
ply do not believe in it. What a
soul may be is beyond my under
standing.
From Great Spaces.
IT believe that the force Of en-
ergy we call life came from some
where in the great spaces beyond
us. We know life could not have
been here when the earth was q
molten mass. Later life was here.
Was it created here or did it come
here? / believe it came here just
aS electricity comes from the SUM-"
Edison believes the kinship be-
tween all living things is very
close. The protoplasm that lies at
the bottom of all life is much the
same wherever it is found.
Even vegetable protoplasm differs
only little from the matter from
which man springs.
In speaking of his belief that
body cells have life and intelligence,
Edison held up a hand, one finger
Of which had been damned to such
an extent that the nail had come
off. Another nail was growing on.
He said:
Watches Cells at Work.
II watch the cells at work in
that finger great deal. did not
know how to grow another nail in
Its place, but the cells in that fin
ger knew
He calls the cells the little peo-
pie" He thinks them immortal.
II refer now to the intelligence
that resides in the cells. Iabelieve
they have an affinity for each
other that causes them to seek
association with those of similar
intelligence and temperament. That
believe is at the bottom of what
we call heredity or the tendency to
inherit qualities"
And Edison believes that these
cells have not only reason but also
morals; ',...'..
''The cells that have what we call
good instincts. would seek to COM
bine with other good cells, and bad
cells with other bad cells.
while we are living we should
therefore realize that when we are
so that our least admirable little
people are becoming worse we are
doing what will cause them to seek
worse cells the next time they COM
bine to form another human being"
