FINAL EXAMINATIONS

1t is a somewhat fatefu moment in the ex-
perience of students when they take their final
examinations the result of which in
will determine whether they will get their coveted
diplomas or not.
Those who have done good work all through
the year faced those tests with confidence. that
if they missed things, the general aver
age of their attainment would pull them through.
Those who looked for the short cuts and smart
did little heathful trembling. and resolved
in future to have things done yesterday rather
than put off until tomorrow.
To be ready for examination, student
must not merely know lot of facts. but what is
quite as important, he must have reflected good
deal his subject aud looked into its inner
meanings, so he can do something more than re-
peat parrot like lesson. Examiners lenient
TO those who seem to have used their brains.

TRACES Of EARLY
CANN|BALS SOUGHT.
Smithsonian Scientist to Ex-
pIore Mounds of Forgotten
U. S. Tribes.

With the departure tomorrow for
the Louisiana coast of Henry Il. Col
Inns, ir., ethnologiSt, the Smithsonian
institution initiates an exploration OF
an almost forgotten area of prehis-
toric life on this continent. The re-
gion, which extends westward from
New Orleans. was the camping
ground of the Attacopa and Chitl-
macha Indians. 1t has ensoverlook-
ed by psychologists and nothing has
ever been written about it.
Mr.. Collins. who is assistant curator
OF ethnology in the National Museum.
and whose expedition the Bureau OF
Ethnology is financing, will lnvesti-
gate the mounds in the area with
view TO determining whether they are
true mounds or mere shell heaps, and
to collect bones, artifacts and pot
terry. So far all the pottery found
along the Gulf from Florida to Louis
lana has been similar, indicating a
cultural relationship among the pee
pies and suggesting migration route.
Known as 'Cannibals.
The Attacopa Indians were one OF
The few known cannibal tribes OF the
American continent. Whether they
engaged in the practice for cere-
rnonial purposes or for the love of 1t,
is not known. Other cannibal tribes
were found in Cuba, Jamaica, Nene'
zuela, Colombia and Brazil
The Chitimacha possessed mucn
higher culture and seem to nave peeh
related TO the Natchez. They had the
same caste system-division OF the
tribe into mobiles and proletarlat-an
their language Is similar. 1t Is inter-
esting to note that caste was trans
,,.1l, 81 l,n
a high caste mother could bear high
caste children to a low caste father.
while the children of a low caste
mother must remain low caste, no
mater who their father was Incidental
Is. one method of climbing the social
ladder and entering n higher caste
was to sacrifice ones relatives at the
death of a noble.
Going to Mississippi.
From Louisiana Mr.. Collins will
proceed to Mississippi to continue
excavations begun last year of Choc-
raw mounds. The old belief that
these mounds were the work of some
fanciful ancient race. entirely distinct
from the American Indian, has long
been exploded. 1t is now known def
nitely that they are the work of the
peoples. who built them as burial
mounds or more commonly as plat
forms for the erection of their temples
and the homes of their leaders.
The largest of these mounds is 100
feet high and covers an area of about
TO acres. When it is realized that the
builders had nothing but crude sticks
and stone implements with which to
dig and reed baskets in which to
transport the dirt, the intensity of the
religious feeling which could produce
such a monument may be understood.

there, too, to excuse myself early. The
heat was terrible, and the crowd, even
to look at, bewildering."
Il caught only one glimpse of you"
Hargrave remarked
Il saw you several times" she
answered. Il saw you even striving
gallantly to dance"
AN impossibility," he murmured.
II spoke just now," the princess
continued, ''of the privileges which be-

, beautiful thing, Hargrave," she went
on. I'VE have contrived to live very
closely and very beautifully together
in an atmosphere which Is not CON
ductve to the sort of life we have led.
We have found a kindred inspiration
in the music which has charmed US,
the poetry which we have loved to-
gether. the thoughts which have been
born between us. We have passed
through this rather meretricious world
with affection. I believe, in our hearts,
without a single divergence from the
beautiful ways. without gaucherie to
regret. 1t is very wonderful to have
done this. Hargrave. You are, l think.
the only man l have ever met with
whom it would have been possible,
and it has been chiefly through your
great unselfishness."
Still he said nothing. but there was
| in his face all the understanding, all
the sympathy she desired.
Last year. perhaps. there was a
slight cloud she went on. Il remem-
ber the light after the opera in Paris
and the princess supper party; we
drove home together through the Bois.
From that moment I have known
that, for all my pride, l remain hu-
man. | realized, too. that ] was play
ing a selfish part. Since then 1t has
been a faint reStleSSneSS between us.
Dear man, l have felt it as you have.
This year it was there from the mo-
ment your lips touched my fingers,
so I wrote to Paris. so I followed my
husband to Rome, to meet, as you
know, with failure. And now, shall l
finish in single sentence?"
IF you will" he answered.
''Hargrave. I cannot give you in any
lesser way what 1t would have made
me proud and happy to have given
YOU if l could have gained my free
dom"
She leaned back, as though tired.
The words We're spoken, immutably,
as he knew. Hargrave. looking past
her, through the dropping gold of a
great mimosa tree. across the tops of
he pink almond blossom, to the sea
and the spaces beyond, was conscious
of a momentary sense of great hu-
initiation. The friendship, with its
