School Report for
Marked Change
By Harriet A. Ferris
Youths. are deprived of nprsnnnl II
berties, their rights are Curtailed,
ana tnoir habits are unduly super
vised, so Bays the reDort nf tho
School Committee of Littleton, New
Hampshire, for the year 1856. It.
report follows:
"With much regret, the Commit
tee has to report four or five lads
leaving school Number 8 because de
barred from chewing tobacco and
spitting in the house during school
hours."
One can imagine the debates nn.l
corner p.rocery discussions caused hv
this incident. They bovs of thore
good old days felt that they were not
reai.y men until they could chew a
plug of tobacco a dav and hit n. unit.
toon at a distance of ten feet. The
parents too considered son a chip of
the old block when he could make a
creditable performance of these
manly accomplishments. That any
school master or school ma'am
should dare to interfere was consid
ered an outrage. To ask son to give
up his chewing was to make a "sis
sy" of him. What harm did it do?
The floor was swept every day and
even if a boy missed at time, it
merely helped to keep down the
dust. Rather than have his person
al liberties curtailed he would leave
school.
The teacher vainfv talked about
hygiene and cleanliness. Weren't
the women of that day the best
house keepers ever? Of course
everybody had to have measles,
chicken pox, and mumps. The
quicker you had them and got over
them the better they said; catch a
cold from some one spitting on the
floor I Well, did you ever hear any
thing so silly? Why everybody
knows that colds come from sitting
in drafts and sleeping with your win
dows open. All right if you won't
dismiss that teacher our boys will
leave school and they did."
But they went back the next term
because the new teacher had heard
the story and couldn't afford to

who are delinquent are usually con
fronted with the problem of staying
in school a whole semester and com
pleting a few hours, or dropping out
now and coming back later when
they can make a more effective rec
ord. Tho question Involves a mone
tary viewpoint as well as the waste
of time spent without completing full
work.
Approximately 90 percent of the
students interviewed on account of
scholarship were doing outside work,
sometimes as much as eight hours
daily. Outside work, coupled with
too many hours of school work, often
accounts for failures.
Horses Walk
On Their Toes
Says Dakotan
Vermillion, S. D., Nov. 30.
Horses have been "on their toes" for
so long a time that they now literal
ly waik on their middle toenails, in
the opinion of George M. Clement,
student at the University of South
Dakota, who is doing original re
search in the geology department.
Mr. Clement is reconstructing
part of a skeleton of a 'three toed'
horse found in the Black Hills .by
the state geological survey some
time aeo. The splint-bones of the
modern horse are remnants of the
other two toes of the original three
toed ancestors, said Mr. Clement,
and added that there are only eight
complete skeletons of the three toed
horse in the world, and five of them
were found in South Dakota. All
of the skeletons were taken outside
of the state, and are now in various
museums in the country including
the American museum, and Yale
University museum.
Horses at some prehistoric time
must have had five toes !n the opin
ion of geologists, said Mr. Clements.
The three toed horse, however, was
a small animal about the size of a
coyote. The teeth of the three toed
show that it was a browsing
animal, the teeth being adapted to
nipping buds from bushes. ine
Hio-h crown teeth of the modern
horse show the transition to the
grass eating animal.

bump her head against a stone wall.
So progress limped along but never
quite died.
The day did come when progress
in the shape of hygiene could be re
fused a hearing no longer. Before
wo condemn the good old days and
their reasoning, let us look to our
own times. Have we ever heard any
thing about curtailment of liberty?
Let us begin with a happening in
the lementary schools. A teacher
protested about Harold's excessive
liberties. She warned mother about
the effect of too frequent attend
ance at the movies and especially at
night.
Mother replied: "Did you ever
hear anything so absurd? The mov
ies are a wonderful education and
two evenings a week teach Harold
more than you do in five days at
school." Presently Harold falls be
hind in his work and Mother explains
to Teacher that Harold has devel
oped nerves she just can't under
stand why. Perhaps the family phy
sician is braver than the second
teacher of the good old days. If so
he points out the danger of over
stimulation. But perhaps progress
limps again.
In the high school, Jim the jovial
good fellow, has lately been burning
up cigarettes. The physical training
teacher protests, for Jim would be
good football material if he would
stop smoking. But they say; "He
can play football of course. See how
big and strong he is curtail his
rights by asking him to give up cig
arettes? I guess not! No Sir!'
Presently the doctor finds Jim's
heart too weak for football, but he
smokes right on, and now he is in the
University. His habits have never
been supervised. Why should any
one dare to do it now. Yes, he drives
an auto with one hand and stays out
every night beyond the time set for
freshmen.
At the end of the year he flunks
and the college faculty is blamed.
Such curtailment of personal liberty
is an outrage.
horse from a three toed animal to a
hoofed, or one toed animal accord
ing to Mr. Clement, is that the hprse
had flight as its only means of pro
tection. The horse has been on his
toes running away from danger so
long that he has lost all but the front
toe.
Mr. Clement is doing the work
under the direction of Dr. Walter
Searight, assistant professor of ge
ology at the university.
FOUR OKLAHOMA

Professor at Stillwater A. and M.
College Gives Students Intelli
gence Tests
Stillwater, Okla., Nov. 30. (Spe
cial.) Four girls out of the 137
freshmen students in education at
the Oklahoma A. and M. college are
reported as being of very superior
intelligence. Twenty - eight were
judged to be superior by Dean Her
bert Patterson of the school of edu
cation under whose supervision in
telligence tests were given.
The tests are given all first year
students in the school of education
and each individual informed of his
grade in the mental test. If the
grade is high, Dean Patterson cau
tions the student not to depend en
tirely upon his intellectual ability to
make his grades in the course, and
those who are low are advised to
spend more time on their studies.
Hard Work Is Necessary
It is explained to the students that
success in college work, as in life,
does not depend entirely upon intel-

Danish King is
Donor of Honor
To Dairy Head
Ames, Iowa, Nov. 30. To be
decorated by a king and made a
member of the order of Ridder of
Dannebrogordenen in Denmark,
which corresponds to knighthood in
England and the order of chevaliers
in France, is the honor which has
just come to Martin Mortensen, head
of the department of dairying at
Iowa State College for the past
eighteen years, and a native son of
Denmark.
The arrival of the royal decora
tion and certificate announcing the
honor came as a complete surprise
to Professor Mortenson. He believes
that the recognition is due in part
to the recommendation of members
of the Royal Agricultural college in
Copenhagen who have watched the
development of the dairy depart
ment of Iowa State college. The
certificate announcing the member
ship is signed by Harald, prince of
Denmark, although the honor is con
ferred by King Christian X.
While in Denmark a year ago last
summer, Professor Mortensen con
ducted the first ice cream short
course ever held in the country and
this, he believes, may be one of the
reasons why the royal honor was con
ferred. Attending the short course
were about seventy of the prominent
dairy manufacturers of the nation
Ice cream making there previous to
that time was very limited, but since
is understood to have multiplied sev
eral times.

Harvard University Plans Scientific
Films As Visual Educational Medium
Harvard University has entered
the field of visual education through
the medium of motion pictures.
As a result of a contract made re
cently a series of pictures dealing
with different scientific subjects,
will be prepared.
Although these pictures are des
igned primarily for university, col
lege, and school uses, they will be
appropriate for the theater, the
church, the club and other social or
ganizations. These scries, when
completed, will be distributed all
over the country. The first of the
series will be ready for distribution
by January 30, 1928. , The contract,
which extends over a five-year pe
riod, was signed by President A.
Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard.
Anthropology Is Mentioned
Only one branch of science, an
thropology, the study of mankind, is
specifically mentioned in the con
tract. However, the division of Ge
ology has also decided to participate
in this work and has a series of pic
tures in the course of preparation.
Dr. Kittery F. Mather, of this divi
sion, and Dr. Ernest A. Hooton, of
the division of anthropology, are
heading a committee which will su
pervise the preparation of the pic
tures.
After representatives of the two
divisions have selected film which
they consider of value, graduate
students will classify, cut, assemble
and title the various pictures in the
series. A workshop has already been
set up in the Peabody Museum at
Cambridge and two graduate stu
dents in anthropology and one in ge
ology are already at work.
Make Two Sets
One set of pictures will be made i
for use in universities and colleges.
These will be of a highly technical
nature and the supervision of the
heads of the various departments
will assure scientific accuracy. They
will follow closely the courses in the
various subjects as given at Harvard.
University authorities feel that this
series will be of the greatest Value
to other educational institutions,
especially small colleges unable to
support large scientific divisions, but
which are eager to present these sub
jects to their students.
The second series will be for use
in grade and high schools. They
will be scientifically accurate and
prepared with the same care as the
series for university use, but will be

edited so that they can be used in
connection with school courses in
geography. Outlines cf such series
have already been prepared by the
divisions of anthropology and geol
ogy. The former has in mind sev
eral scries. The first will deal with
physical conditions and life on the
different continnents, showing vary
ing types of mankind, and the hab
its, customs, homes, industries, flora
and fauna of the different parts of
each. Th second will show the
different types of man and the cri
teria by which they are differ
entiated. The third will demon
strate how different people adapt or
fail to adapt themselves to their en
vironment.
The division of geology is work
ing on seven pictures dealing with
this subject in a manner which will
be of interest to school children. The
subjects treated are shore lines and
snore development,! vuicanism, o
the study of volcanos, the work of
ground water, glaciers, the mechan
leal work of the atmosphere, the
work of running water, and the
cycle of erosion. The last mentioned
shows the slow but tremendous ef
fect running water has on even the
most durable substances.
