It haii Wn Raid that if a Kentutkian can be riven the privilege to dabble in politics, he would rather run the court-house machine than to be tola owner of the International Harvester Company. Coupled with politics in hi Innate love for public speaking, and Kentuckiana in the part h well a the present have not ahown thetiinelvea puerile ami amateurish on the public platform. Some, times the mimt awkward and uns-atinly appearing lads have startled the world with their renius. Abraham Lincoln did not impress the world by hia handsomeness, but by hi power and character. Thru sublimity of character and power of speech ha became, an Apollo. Technician in tlcliBte and oratory have tried to develop dif ferent standard fur plain debating and public speaking, but the public at large Mill hld to the standard of oratory and elocu tion for both. Oratory will never oe it supremacy in America so long a there Is a need of reaching the public mind thru speech. Judges in debate will In intructed by chairmen to give 75 percent for argument and 25 for oratory, and in the majority of caw the judge will hand in their derision, bared, 75 percent for oratory and 25 percent for argument. In simple language the orator "get it aero." And the debater who would "get across" forceful argument muft be an orator. Berea College ha a wonderful opportunity in the held of oratory. Mountain people are swsyed by oratory. They believe in it, and can produce. Berea ha had an enviable record in the field of debate and public (peaking for many year, and it has been pro. duced without the aid of a Department of Public Speaking. Let u hope that the institution will continue to fend out son and daughter of eloquence, and that they may t imbue J win itivals f richteoune and patriotism. , For Highland Betterment ( Courier-Journal ) The Courier-Journal, in joining the Berea College Extension Service in an effort to stimulate the improvement of welfare W the mountain counties of Kentucky, takes part in a movement in witch it ha an interest beyond that of a mere offer of prizes in a rommendalde contest. A Kentuckian fully aware of the importance of the Kentucky Highlands to the whole of the State, alive to the potentialities of the people of the mountain, and to certain disadvantage under which they have lalwirrd, among them difficulties of transportation and iiiadtiiiai y of public education, thin newspaper value any practical project f r the social and economic betterment of the mountain counties. In the work of the Berea College Extension Service The Courier-Journal recognizes a thoroly practical project; one which will result in lenefit to many counties in addition to those who are found to be leaders in the self-improvement which it seeks to promote. It Is true, of course, that some of the mountain counties now are well advanced along the line in which the Berea College Ex. tension Service would lead those not so fortunate. Tt I true that there are counties not in the mountain which are in a much need cf improvement as the most backward of those Berea seek to aid. But Berea i a mountain institution devoted to work in its eniM-rial field. In that fiel'l. not because it stands alone a a sec tion of the State which would be benefited by just such work as the Berea Extension Service undertakes, but because it is a sec tion in which the work is to be undertaken by an institution which has proved it vigor and its worth, The Courier-Journal is glad to lend a hard. EVOLUTION AND DEVELOPMENT A formidable argument in favor of the proposition that the theory of evolution does not deny creation is a follows: The fart that each man today is the product of development from a single cell is held to be in perfect harmony with the doctrine of creation. It only shows to some ex tent how Cod creates. The idea, therefore, that the first man, or the speciiea of animal we call man, was created by a similar process, which is railed evolution, La equally com patible with the idea of creation and should Ive regarded aa God's method. The only reply the opponents of this proposition ran make is to assert that evolution and development are so radically different that we cannot reason from one to the other. Some even go so far aa to say that evolu tionists know this, and that if they were honest they would admit it Let us examine this statement. If we trace backward the develop ment of the individual, we come to single cell. But this cell ia by no means the beginning of the process, for it ia itself the product of develop ment in the parent, the grand par ent and the whole line of ancestors, running back, say 6,000 years or more. It should be remembered that in this continuous process of the re peated development of individuals from their parents, no offspring is exactly like its parent or any one of Its ancestors. Now the evolutionist be lieves that this process did not begin 6,000 or 60,000 years ago, but that, if a complete record of the facts were before us, it could be traced back for millions of years, and that during the process such changes of offspring from their remote ancestors have taken place aa to result in the grad ual formation of the different types of individuals which we distinguish aa different species. The process, according to this theory, is absolute ly continuous and uninterrupted and is the same today that it has always been. It ha been the same process since 6,000 years ago that it was be fore that time. The growth of an individual from its first cell is but one of the countless similar steps of the entire process. If it is develop ment today, it has alwava been d velopment If it was evolution a million years ago. it is evolution to day, ir the process today Is consist ent with creation, it has alwavs been The fact that it is God's method to day does not prove that it has alwava been His method, altho it does at least suggest such a probability. Let it be noted that the writer is not here attempting to prove the ori- gin off species by evolution. The ract that individuals are the product of evolution or growth or develop, ment does not prove that species are the product of the same process. The argument here presented is to prove that the origin of species by this method is no more a denial of creation than is the origin of individ uals by the same method. -Geo. H. Felton By Abo Baker O, Willie Jones waa a fanner boy And a husky lad waa he; He drove his team and he held his plow Till the farm went on a spree. Now William Jones drives a limou sine And he rides with a lady fair. And the lady smiles thru the pleas ant mile He's a moonshine millionaire. O, Susie Smith was a kitchen girl And a greasy tfrl was she; She washed the pots and she scrubbed the pan Till the house went on a spree. But now she rides in Jones car With a diamond in her hair, For she is the bride and sits by the side Of a moonshine millionaire. O, Lawyer Steele was a pirate bold And a parlous man was he, Who took hia toll in a legal way Till the courts went on a spree. But now his friends are aboard his yacht, Where he sits in a gilded chair And the ship sails south as they slake their drouth With the moonshine millionaire. O, Elder Swan had a saintly way . And a preaching man was he, Who preached and prayed and he al most starved Till his church went on a spree. But now he rides in his private car And his soul hath not a care For he owns a block of the Home Brew Stork He's a moonshine millionaire. Now i? usie Smith and the gospel ier And Jones and the pirate gay Are moving powers in the world at la're. And a Heir quartet are they. And the pirate bold can enact the laws While the Elder reads the prayers And the world reels on down the route they vc gone With the n.ct nshine millionaires. OUR SCHOOLS This i the second of a series of articles which The Citizen la publish Inff on the educational needs of the "Highland Field." THE PRINCE OF IX)LLYPOP RESOLUTION I've cloned the door on yesterday, Its sorrows and mistakes, I've lucked within its gloomy walls Past failures and heartaches, And seek today another room To frame within its walla Love, joy and hope that cannot fail, Since God is over all. I've closed the door on yesterday And thrown the key away, Tomorrow holds no fear for me Since I have found today. Rachel NorvalU Come hoist up your colors And sweep off your floors. Scrub out your kicthens And paint up your doors, Put on your smiling And take off your frown. For the Prince of Lcllypop's coming to town. He come with his nursie. With poodle and gun, And twenty umbrellas To keep off the sun; And there's never a lass But who hollos "hello!" For the Prince of Lollypop's coming some, you know. They come in a carriage And drive up the street, He bobble and bows To the people they meet, .And there's never an urchin Who get in the way. For the Prince of Lollypop's frac tious, they say. He sits by his nursie. Who speaks not a word. For she must keep silent That he may be heard, And all of the people They shout "Hip-hooray 1" For the Prince of Lollypop's coming to stay. And oh, the commotion The people do make O'er such a wee prince, That it seems a mistake; They bow and they bob, And they courts y just so, For the Prince of Lollypop's royal, you know. Co clear off your gardens, And rut down the weeds, Spade up the soft earth And scatter your seeds, Take down your catsup . And bring up your wine, For the Prince of Lolypop'a coming to dine. Kill all the roosters And muzzle the cowa, Drawn all the cats So therell be no more meows, Hush up the froggies And shut up the sheep. For the Prince of Lollypop's going to sleep. So all of the people They flutter and shout To see the woe prince When he's walkinr about. But never a blink Nor a smudge cares be, For the Prince of Lollypop's royal, you see. John P. Smith It has always been exceedingly dif ficult to persuade educators who put their faith in culture courses that there are other things of vastly greater importance to people who are not yet free economically. In their zeal for scholarship and culture they often forget that people who live by toil need to know about the things they have to do in life a great deal more than they need to know about the literature and history of the long ago. Meat and bread, homes and home comfort, clothing and health, way of adding to the income are all due lung before culture studies ar rive. And the school or the" teacher who fails to provide first things first i robbing children of their educa tional birthright. What are the thing that should have right of way in the schools for the working folk of the mountains? 1. The fundamentals, of course.1 There are a few things that must be known before further progress can be made. 2. The practical problems of citi zenship. Schools rather generally pans this matter by on the assump tion that the conventional courses of fer the best possible training for cit izenship. But In the face of this crime flourishes, yet the old ideas jersift and some whr. teach will not1 see anything which they have not al-' ways been accustomed to. ! 3. Wood carving and cabinet mak-' ing. The mountains ought to be the center of toy making in America; but few people know how to do such work, and the schools are not in-J strutting them in the art. 4. Weaving and other household arts. A million hands are idle much of the time because of nothing remuner-j ative to do. And hundreds of thou sands of children are often under nourished because of insufficient in comes; yet many teachers insist that the culture studies must have right of way, and these same teachers of ten consider it poor educational pol icy to administer to the first element-! al wants of the human race. 5. Forestry and conservation of natural resources. Over five-eights of the timber supply of the moun tains ia already exhausted, and most of the mineral rights have been sold. Trees are not being replaced, natur-, al resources are being squandered, and children of the future are being robbed of their inheritance. All the classes that can be taught to moun tain children will not restore one tree or bring to one child the income which it ought to have from the re sources of the land. 6. The economics of everyday life. The need of bigger and better vege-l table gardens; the art of storing and preserving food for winter; the or-! ganization of rooperaitve credit so-j cieties; the relation of good transpor-j tation to health, education, religion, satisfaction with country life, gener al prosperity; other questions which are closely related to life should re ceive special attention. In mosf ele-j mentary and high schools, and in other secondary schools all such mat-j ter is subordinated to courses that1 prepare the few for longer courses. The majority must struggle on un- prepared. 7. The history of the Anglo-Saxon j peoples. There ia a great wealth oft tradition and accomplishment that - should be known to every child of Anglo-Saxon blood. His race has long been the race of empire builders and the chief exponent of freedom. A history of the English race that reaches out to India, Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, Canada, South Af rica, elsewhere on the earth would be vastly more important than a knowl edge of ancient thiags. Few schools offer any history of the mountain people. There is plenty of it to of fer if teachers only knew it them selves. Whatever contributes to race pride should be encouraged; whatever meets the elemental wants of the) people should be emphasized. Thei culture courses should wait until ether needs arj met I John F.

THE RED WAGONS ARE COMINO I Hugo Brothers' Great Consolidated, Showa will exhibit in Berea, Tuesday, I May 9, at the old circus grounds near the depot. This announcement is hailed with delight by the juvenile element,' while some of the "older boys" are already looking; about for their stray. nepnewa and nieces. They are say ing they will probably have to go and carry the children to see the animals. But deep down in their hearts they know they would not misa the show if there were not a amall boy within a thousand miles of Berea on circus Many new and novel features will be seen in this year's program of the Great Sanger Show. Foremost among these Will be the Flying Jor dans, daring and intrepid aerialists; the Silverton Trio, dancers on a lofty double wire; the Alpine Sisters, dainty and marvelous equilibrists; the peerless Potters, gymnasts; the Nelson family acrobats and two-score educated Shetland ponies, monkeys and dogs.

There will be two performances, at 2 and I p. bl, the door opening an hour earlier to permit a concert of popular and operatic music by Prof. James Norman and his military band. A series of free exhibitions will be riven on the show grounds at 1 and 7 p. m., in addition to a band concert on the downtown streets at noon.
