VISITS WITH the Directory for those wishing bueinei of my of the following men of Provo. ad-dr- ees VMGMBY UTAH The Educated Will. classes of thinkers, realizing that education is the nations first problem, have contributed to the discussion ol the school qivstion. The physician has made his plea for the child's health, the clergyman has put in his word for religious instruction, the employer has asked the schools to send him graduates trained in the rudiments of business. All this interest in education stimulates teachers and keeps the schools abundantly equipped and progressive. But under all the varied questions, the fundamental purpose of education is sometimes buried from Bight. Prof. Friedrich Paulsen, a German teacher and philosopher, has recently summoned his countrymen to remember the old moral roots of education. His article, translated In the Educational Review, bids us hold fast to the principles that education means training in obedience, application, and the subjection of the young will to the older disciplined will. This philosopher and teacher of ethics knows that the civilized human being Is he who can drive a controlled mind to a definite goal, and that schools and parental discipline and churches have aa their object the making of civilized men and women out of raw material. So that when a devotee of C. F. Decker & Co., Fruit end Produce. Back Talk. All child-psycholog- advocates study of the child-benand adaptation of educational methods to tbo young individual soul, the teacher agrees, provided the teacher and not the child is to do the adapting. When the preaeher of health and nature shows the beautiful development of free childhood running wild in the open fields, the teacher admits the poetry of the idea, but insists that the child will never enjoy freedom until he has learned methodically to do as he is told, indoors and out. And when the pedagogical expert devises a course in manual training, French, music and nature study, the same teacher accepts the combination, provided the pupil be required to do his work thoroughly in each sublet, whether he likes it or not. t The Benevolent Parasite. The part that parasites play in checking and preventing the ravages of insects which injure and destroy shade trees, grain, fruit and other vegetable products is now so well recognized that it seems the matter of getting rid of any particular sort of pest is merely a question of finding the right kind of parasite. The fruit growers of Australia have just had a A noted enconvincing object-lessoin found India the parasite tomologist which would do the trick, but the difficulty was to overcome the difference in seasons and climate's between India and Australia. The problem was solved finally by putting the parasites to sleep and then transporting them to Australia, where they went to work in the good old summer time quite as if on their native heath. It seems like a mean trick to play on the little creatures, but doubtless this was a case where the end Justified the means. If the pests would not come to the parasites, the parasites, could be made to conform to circumstances and go to the pests. Anyway, science scores another triumph and indicates another way of escape from the ills to which the vegetable kingdom is heir. fro io J. Beck, Of all the sinful wasters of mans inheritance on earth," said the late Professor JShaler, and all are in this regard sinner-;- , the ery worst are the people This is not a popular phrase, hut a of America. scientific judgment. It is borne out hy facts. In the mowment of modern times, a huh has made the world commercially a small place and has produced a solidarity of the new race such as never before existed, we have come to the point where we must to a certain extent regard the natural resources of this planet as i common asset, compare them with demands now made and likely to be made upon them, and study their judicious use. Commerce, wherever untrammeled, is wiping out boundaries and substituting the world relation of demand and supply for smaller systems of local economy. The changes of a single generation have brought the nations of the earth closer together than were the states of this union at the close of the civil war. If we fail to consider what we possess of wealth available for the uses of mankind, and to what extent we are wasting a national patrimony that can never be restored, we might be likened to the directors of a company who never examine a balance sheet. The sum of resources is simple and fixed. From the sea, the mine, the forest and the soil must be gathered everything that can sustain the life of man. Upon the wealth that these supply must be , conditioned . forever, as far as we can see, not only his progress but bis continued existence on earth. By the fixed rate of increase in the past, we must count upon a of over 200,000,000 in the United States in the year 1930. The annual increase from natural growth is about Uo per cent, each year. Adding for immigration only 750,000 a year, which is less than of the figures reached in recent years, we shall have about people in 1925 and at least 200,000,000 by the middle of the century. Where are they to go, how are they to be employed, how fed, how enabled to earn a living wage? The pressure of all the nations upon the w'aste places of the earth grows more intense as the last of them are sccupied. We are approaching the point where all our wheat product will De needed for our own uses, and we shall cease to be an exporter of grain. There is still some room in Canada, hut it will soon be filled. The relief will be but temporary. Our own people, whose mineral resources will have that time by greatly diminished, must find themselves thrown back upon the soil for a living. If continued abuse of the land should mark the next 50 years as it has the last, what must be our outlook ? pop-alati- three-quarte- rs 130,-000,0- 00 The persistent break in logic when we touch the unseen is due to rebellion against certain forms in which the doctrine of God has been taught and ideas and requirements associated with them. When a man is able to step aside from these and contem- . OE plate the simple question he follows the thought unhesitatingly that the explanation of the universe is a supreme, indwelling intelligence. Four great facts about the world seem to carry this beyond possibility of doubt. The stability of nature is one. What holds this plexus of instability in such ordered and permanent working? Ilersehel once said that gravitation to demand or a ieems will, somewhere in the universe. consciousness, The intelligibility of nature is another. We can think it out. Why? Because it is in thought relations. These we do not make. We find them. would chance what a By nonthinking power produce a thought related world? A third fact is the practicability of nature. Says one, Nature is a great armory of weapons and implements for the use of will. Many of them are too ponderous for man to wield. . . . But there are many lesser tools which man can use. He can not alter or modify them in shape or pattern in quality or in power. ' Only if we know how to use them, All civilization is built on that truth. The fourth fact that use is ours. is the mystic interpretation of nature. There is an influence permeating nature which both adapts it to us and us to it in exquisite harmony and makes our normal association with it a suggestive aid to character and culture. Prophecy is the function of the inspired. Yet it seems not assumptive to forecast the further unfolding of the laws of nature and life until by their intelligent use poverty and disease shall disappear and the earth be the home of one harmonious and happy people. Nor is it improbable that the investigation which each year conquers more of the unknown may some day catch the secret which shall bring us into conscious communion with that unseen life for which God is our assurance, and thus the bitterness of death be The Roosevelt Dam In Arizona. The Roosevelt dam will eclipse in magnitude of cubic contents all of the dams at present under construction by the reclamation service. It will contain 330,000 cubic yards of masonry, or over six times more than the Pathfinder, and nearly five times as much as the Shoshone dam. Its height will be 280 feet from foundation, length on top 630 feet (or, including spillway bridges, 1,080 feet), and Its forever put away. thickness at the base 165 feet.
