Training the Child’s Mind and Body BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER.

It was a rule with my own wise and loving mother never to give her children anything that they cried for. Tears were few. It never oc- curred to any of us to cry for what we wanted. ~We knew that our e pressed wish would be granted un- less there was an excellent reason for its being refused; that she would go to_almost any amount of trouble 10 give us what we desired, but a refusal was final.

The anti-evolution law @f Tennessee scarcely stirred a ripple beyond the borders of the State until the Scopes case brought from abroad advocates who happened to be great masters of publicity. / Louisiana now joins her sister State, the legislature having passed an anti-evolution law. A drastic bill has been introduced in the North Carolina legislature, pro- posing not only to prohibit the teach- ing of any theory whieh centradicts or denies the divine ofigin of man or the universe as taught in the Bible, but also to make it unlawful to teach anything in the arts or sciences that *‘contradicts the fundamental truth of the Holy Bible.” : A Baptist minister ‘in Minnesota has succeeded in getting a bill intro- duced in the legislature proposing to * prohibit the teaching of evolution in the schools of the State. Similar movements are afoot or presently will be launched in other States. 1f the theory of evolution were any- thing like the notion which some folk have of it, such laws would be desire- able. But the theory of evolution— one must say theory because of course it is a theory merely, and probably it will always remain a theory—what does Pope say in his great sermon?— “Presume not God to scan"—the theory of evolution is a beautiful thing, a thing that cannot fail to inspire in the true student’s mind a deep reverence and awe of supreme cause of it all. Every avenue of evolutionary thought which the mind of a scientist can follow leads inevitably back to the same starting point which must perforce serve both fundamentalists and liberalists: In the beginning God. All mankind, enlightened and ig- | norant, civilf and savage, recognizes the unfolding of a flower from the bud as a beautiful thing. This is evolution. Who was that thoroughgoing funda- mentalist pastor who insisted only last year that the earth is flat. Probably he is now traveling around some of these States. . T should hate to intrust myself or a loved one to the medical care of a doctor -whose education has mot erh- braced the theory of evolution. Medical science would be in a sorry plight if the teaching of evolution were pro- hibited.

So that the actual mutation of species, one of the important factors of evolution, has been observed in the laboratory. This opinion of Bishop McElwain of Minneapolis in reference to the pro- posed anti-evolution law covers the situation: I believe instructors in the department of science should be allowed to teach exactly what their investigations lead them to believe Is true. This has nothing to_do with religion.” il Sweetbread Pie.
