An intensive study of the theory of evolution may ride into thec urriculums | of school systems throughout the coun- |try on the back of an enlarged study of biology, if a proposal made by Sec- retary of the Interior Wilbur to a meeting of State superintendents and commissioners of education yesterday is carried to full fruition in the halls of learning. Addressing the second annual con- ference of State superintendents and education commissioners at the Interior Department today, Secretary Wilbur | pointed to a further teaching of bi- ology as one of the great nesds of edu- cation in the United States. While he did not specifically mention evolution by name, study of the science of bi- ology includes a study of the origin of man. “My feeling is that biology is one of | the studies that is receiving too little attention,” Dr. Wilbur said. “Educa- tion. after all, is not of much use un- less its possessor knows of life itself. | True education lies in the capacity to see life iself. Supersititions, for | example, dog the lives of most peo- ple. They will not start on a| | journey on Friday and they leave the thirteenth story out of their buildings. laws_that control us is developed, the | handicap of superstition is banished. | ‘The further study of biology would ac- complish this end as well as provide an understanding that would aid us in more intelligent living. There should be more of it, as well as more study of other sciences that help the individual to appreciate the world about him. “The genius of the American people lies in its capacity to organize itself along the lines of its own interests. | Doctors, lawyers, business men are doing | this and the result is that they pool the | information in their fields that it may be more wisely and effectively used. It is wise that education should do the| same thing. It is a matter of pride that the peas raised by the farmer can be harvested by machinery and travel all the way to the sealed can without knowing the touch of human hands. | In education, mechanics should not go | too far. What the children receive as | individuals is the important thing. It| would be a great tragedy if all the peas | were turned out just alike.” Among those attending the confer-| ence were Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superin- | tendent of schools for the District of | Columbia, and nearly twoscore educa- | tion commissioners and State supenn-‘ tendents from as many States and ter~’ ritories.

BY ANNA SEWELL. (Anna_Sewell, 1820-1878, was a British author who earned lasting fame with her well ' known story of a horse. “Blac Beauty.” The story, from which the pres- ent selection is taken, is told in the words of the horse. as though the animal could write its own autobiography.) Before 1 was 2 years old (the horse, Black Beauty by name, is supposed to be speaking), a circumstance happened which I have never forgotten. It was early in the Spring; there had been a little frost in the night, and a light mist still hung over the plantations and meadows. I and the other colts wert feeding at the lower part of the fieid when we heard, quite in the distance, what sounded like the cry of dogs. The oldest of the colts raised his head, pricked his ears, and said: “There are the hounds!"” Immediately he cantered o, follow=d by the rest of us, to the upper part of the field. where we could look over the hedge and see several fields beyond. My miother and an old riding horse of our master's were aiso standing near, and seemed to know all about it. “They have found a hare,” said my mother, “and if they come this way we shall see the hunt.” And soon the dogs were all teariny down the field of young wheat next to ours. I never heard such a noice ar they made. They did not bark, nor howl, nor whine, but kept on a “yo, yo, o, 0, yo. 0, o!" at the top of their voices. After them came a mumber of men on horseback, some of them in green coats, all galloping as fast as Where a capacity to understand the | they could. The old horse snorted and | there was a sad sight; two fine horses looked eagerly after them. and we young colts wanted to be galloping with them, but they were soon away into the fields lower down; here it seemed as if There is no lady who We of them really “extreme.” and Zylonite.

On came the dogs; stream, and came dashing across the field, followed by the huntsmen. Six or eight men leaped their horses clean over, close upon the dogs. The hare tried to get through the fence; it was | too thick, and she turned sharp around | to make for the road, but it was too | late; the dogs were upon her with their wild cries; we heard one shriek, and that was the end of her. One of the huntsmen rode up and whipped off the | dogs. who would soon have torn her | to pieces. He held her up by the leg | | torn and bleeding, and all the gentle- | men seemed well pleased.

I thought the same, but my mother did not join with us. “Well, no,” she said, “you must not say that, but though I am an old horse. and have seen and heard a great deal, I never yet could make out why men are so fond of this sport: they often hurt themselves, often spoil good horses, and tear up the flelds, and all for a hare or a fox, or a stag that they could get more easily some other sald my know.” ‘Whilst my mother was saying this we stood and looked on. Many of the riders had gone to the young man, but my master, whc had been watching 1 what was going on, was the first to | raise him. His head fell back and his arms hung down, and every one looked very serious. There was no noise now, | even the dogs were quiet, and seemed {to know that something was wrong. They carried him to our master's house.

When Mr. Bond, the farrier, came to look at the black horse that lay groaning on the grass, he felt him all over, and shook his head, one of his legs was broken. Then some one ran to our master's house and came back with a gun; pres- cntly there was a loud bang and a dreadful shriek, and then all was still, the black horse moved no more. My mother seemed much troubled. She said she had known that horse for years, and that his name was Rob Roy; he was a goo@, bold horse, and there was no vice in him. She never wou‘lid g0 to that part of the field after- ward. Not many days after we heard the ch\;rch bell tolling for a long time, an a long, strange, black coach that was covered with black cloth and was drawn by black horses; after that came another and another and another, | and all were black, while the bell kept | tolling, tolling.
