ways Been Intellectual Development.
Elliot Smith, anatomst and anthro-
pologist says that there is no evil
dence of any essential modification OF
the human structure, apart from such
changes as result from the intermin-
Cling Of races, within the last fifty
centuries according to the London
correspondent of the Journal Of the
American Medical Association.
The Jews had already assumed their
modern form long before the artificial
titles of civilized diet were devised; the
little toe had begun to atrophy many
centuries before boots were invented
The study of fossil man shows a
steady progress in the early stages OF
the history of the human family, but
its accomplishment took a vast span
of time. The main element in human
progress is, and will always be, the
accumulation of knowledge.
THE popular idea that the man OF
the future will be big-brained mon
istrosity with a feeble body is not JUS
! tilted. We protect the small-brained
part of the population and promote
the cultivation of a physique that has
never been surpassed in the history Of
mankind.
1.-The conditions of modern civliza-
ton mean the protection of and the
failure to eliminate many individuals
who under less artificial conditions
could not possibly survive; and al
though this must act as tremendous
drag on progress it must not be for
gotten that not few of the most dis
tinguished persons who have exerted
far-reaching effects in the history Of
civilization have been physical weak
lings who under natural conditions
would have gone to the wall.
Hence it is difficult to generalize
as to the means by which the human
stock can be improved, in view of the
fact that real geniuses often come from
the most unlikely ancestry and under
conditions which one might imagine
would be absolutely fatal to any hope

During the past twelve months the
Nash Motor Company made records
unequalled in the motor industry, and
Nash dealers enjoyed extraordinary
prosperity. Yet the 1925 statistics
represent only continuation of an I'M

Company and it's dealers. The whole

The School Budget

TT1HE proposed school budget for the next
! fiscal year has the appearance of being
sensible and business-like. An obvious effort
has been made to reduce expenditures to the
minimum necessary for school operation
The principal item in the budget is
$3,76O,690 for capital expenditures-for the
most part, new school buildings.
Much has been said about the necessity for
more school facilities in Indianapolis. The
need is urgent and should be taken care of as
rapidly as possible. The school board is show
ing no tendency toward elaborate expenditures
in this respect and is planning only good, sub
stantial buildings. There are no frills in the
plans.
Is it too much to hope that the school
board will be able to carry out it's building
plans without interference from the little
group which for so many years has attempted
to block school progress in Indianapolisa
