Mysteries of Mind and Brain

women have had big heads, or
heads possessing particular shapes
and characters, popularity associated
with genius and intellectual super
iority; and other great men and
women have been notably lacking in
these particulars, having heads OF
only average, or even less than aver
age size, and possessing no distine-
ton Of form.
But in spite Of that, the whole
doctrine of human evolution, a.
now held, rests upon the. as
sumption that mans supreme
rank among animals Is the re-
suit Of his relatively larger and
more developed brain. In regard
TO brain weight, or skull capa-
city, somewhat arbitrary limits
have been set. Below the as
signed minimum, II Is affirmed,
the human being becomes an
idiot. All of the lower animals,
including the highest anthro-
poids, fall under this category
measured by the human standard
they are idiots. The question may
be asked: Would an ape with a
brain relatively as large and heavy
as a mans become, By virtue Of
his brain capacity human being?
This Is a problem with the solution
OF which the laboratory is (at least
as yeti unprepared to concern it
self. Brain grating, and brain
TRANSMISSION or transference, must
be left to the mysterious future. II
the time should come, however, for
such experiment, VIC may be sure
that the courage to try It, and the
imagination to prefigute its results
will not be lacking.
1t is all a fascinating mystery.
IL we believe Jacques Loeb was
right, we must dismiss the faith
which most of us probably have
entertained from infancy, that We
think our own thoughts, and, as
far as superior force permits, do
our own will, and accept in place
Of it the theory that mind and body
alike only 90 where chemical and
physical forces push them. For my

Professor Burt Green Wilder.
who with one exception, Wa the
only surviving member Of the orig
insl faculty of Cornell University,
died recently at his home in Mas
sachusetts. At Cornell he was
the professor Of anatomy and
physiology, and during his long
life he made, perhaps, the largest
collection Of human brains in en-
istenee.
Some men Of distinction be-
queathed him their brains for
study and for preservation. 1t is
noteworthy that be never found
any evidence in support of phres
nology. That does not, Of course,
mean that he discovered any
thing contradictory to the accept
ed doctrine that the brain is the
organ Of mind, but only that he

information Sources
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

Several understandable volumes
are now on the market and others
tare coming from the presses.
Most people in hazy way, con-
fuse the theory of evolution with
the ideas of Charles Darwin. Many
others do not know that no recog-
nised evolutionist ever said man de-
scended from monkeys.
As naturally, the other source Ia
the Bible.
Here Bernard Shaw's statement
has pertinency.
Often those who understand the
theory of evolution take for granted
the explanation of the Bible given
by William J. Bryan and other
self-appointed interpreters without
going to the original source and
thinking from it.
To think profitably about the
evolution trial your thinking should
be based upon these two sources.
If good comes out Of Tennessee,
it will be greater enlightenment on
the Bible and evolution. y
The depth of this good will de.
pend upon the number Of people
who are stimulated to turn to the
real sources of information for
their thinking.

TALKS
ON LEGISLATION

E. J. Parkin, secretary of the Boze-
man Kiwanis club, who served as a
representative from Gallatin county
in the last legislative session, ad-
dressed the club Monday upon laws
and law-making.
He asserted that the oft-repeated
cry against the making Of laws was
largely "the bunk" pointing out the
fact that as civilization develops new
laws are needed to cope with new con-
ditiOns which are brought about.
He cited the fact that a few years
ago no speed laws were needed and
highway legislation was unheard of,
but the advent of the automobile
brought about new condition which
forced the enactment of many sta
tutes.
He predicted that the radio and the
airplane would make further legisla-
tion necessary in the not far distant
future.
Members Of the Gallatin county
high school basketball team with
their coach were guests of the club.

One of the most active civic or
ganizatiOns in the Gallatin valley
Is the BOzeman Kiwanis club,
which was organized less than
four years ago. Howard Greene
was the first president and C. C.
Jameson served as secretary
from the time of organization uu-
til 1928.
The first year was largely devoted
TO organization work, and outlining
the program for the club, which was
started with so members.
Adopts Slogan
q. f. Carlson served as the second
president and during his term, 1922,
the club adopted as its slogan, "BOze-
man a Good Place to Live"
In 1922 the Kiwanis cabin at the
Bozeman tourist park was built and
equipped by the club and turned over
to the city. This cabin is shown on
another page, and it is one of the
most attractive features found in
an tourist camp in the country, with
the honey atmosphere created by its
deep fireplace, the comfortable arm
chairs and the many beautiful and
artistic pictures of scenic wonders

In 1923 the activities of the club
broadened still more. r. o. Wilson

The slogan, Nothing Was Ever

was coined by the club and became
real state slogan. 1t was used with
great effect in the Montana Month
publicity last winter and has stood
through the lean years as a terse,
concise statement of the real faith
Montana people have in their great
sasts.

me people of Manhattan, Belgrade

friendly relations between the people

BOBCAT BAND
RETURNS FROM
STATEWIDE TRIP
M. S., G. Musicians Report Most
Successful Tour Ever Taken;
Receipts From Concerts Paid
All Expenses
Band Men Entertained Royalty
at Miles City, Roundup
and Other Cities

The BObcat band has just re-
turned from it's sixteenth annual
tour over the state and Director
Lou Howard r-pOrts that it was
the most successful trip, in every
way, that the band has ever TAX
en-. Bigger crowds and more en-
thusiasm were in evidence on this
trip than ever greeted the band
before" he declared upon his re-
turn to BOzeman.
The trip was especially successful
from a financial standpoint. For the
first time, the receipts from the con-
certs were sufficient to pay all ex-
.penses of making the trip. This is
just another indication of the interest
state people are taking in Montana
State and its organizations.
Band Men Entertained 2
The entertainment features provid-
ed for the band members throughout
the trip was magnificent. M. S. C.
alumni, especially, did everything they
could to make the bands stay in their
towns pleasant. Some of them trav-
eled as far as 50 to IS miles to see
and hear the band.
At Miles City alumni met the band
at the train with cars and showed
them around the city. During their
stay there the musicians visited the
Industrial school. After the concert
at the high school at Miles, Principal
Violin took all the members of the
band to a downtown cafe and treated
them to a feed.
Reports are that the entire girls
basketball team from the Custer city
are coming to Montana State next
fall. At least, that is the decision of
some of the players following an ex-
tensive change Of notes during the
concert.
At Roundup the whole bunch were
, taken on a visit to the coal minea
: there.
The big time of the trip came at
HarlowtOn where "Shanks" Border
and Katherine Towne, M. S. c. grads
staged chicken dinner for the out
fit "that would knock your eye clear
out" in the words of the director.
Largest Crowd At HarlOwtOwn
The biggest crowd to attend the
concerts was at the last stop, at Har.

people were present. The dance after
the program was reported to be thc
second largest dance ever given il
the city, the biggest one being {

from all over the county.
