It contains the magnificent library
of the philosopher Victor Cousin.
Cousin was a good Influence in
France all his life. His think
ing, advice, and protests were
sound, and he was a great teacher.
But the best that he ever did for
France, and for the United States
as well, was to bring back from
the prison in which the Prussian
King kept him for six months a
careful study of the Prussian sys
tem of public education.
He stndied in that prison, took
back and developed in France
the Prussian public school system,
which was then by far the. best in
the world. And as a consequence
he did more in one year for the
education of youth in France than
had been done in all the history
Jt France all the way back to
Charlemagne and earlier. Said he:
To carry back the education of
Prussia into France afforded a
"Hobler (if a bloodless) triumph
than the trophies of Auslerlitz

The book that Cousin wrote on
Prussian education for France
ran through innumerable editions
there and in translations here.

more valuable than all the gold of
all the countries of Europe.
To do a thing you must know
HOW. ,
Every little while it is neces
sary to discover over again the
soundness of that axiom.
Russia is the most recent dis
coverer of 'the fact that things
dont run themselves, and that you
can't satisfactorily replace ef
ficiency with high sounding words.
The Russian Bolsheviks, showing
the high intelligence of three-year-old
children deciding to take
charge of the nursery, have paid
out so far more than one thousand
minion rubles to make up the loss
on factories that have been run
ning under what they call "social
isation of industry." which means
turning the factories over to work
men without any directing boss
cr bead.
Scientists perform a slight oper
ation on the brain of a pigeon.
After that, when it files it turns
over and over in the air until iU
strikes the ground and breaks its
neck. Bolshevism performed that
slight operation on the brain of
Russian industry, which is also
'turning somersaults and breaking
its neck.
The feet seed the head to guide
them.
Cables from Europe say that
the problem of feeding starving
populations in liberated countries
is Just about solved. "The United
States will do the work without
claiming credit for It" That
ought to be satisfactory to every
body. One Interesting difficulty is the
' wheat problem. The United States
crop will be Increased by hundreds

Europe, now that the war is over,
will not pay us for wheat more

All possibility that an ins&alty

yesterday afternoon going over the
scene of the murder, conferring'with
Dr. Edward N. Brush, in charge of

Hartman's announcement that he

who was the pivot of the tragedy will

DOES THE STUDY
Of Mmtal Diseases
Drive Doctors Mad?
&
c
By DB. ADOLPH XETEB,
Head of Johns HopkUs Hospital.
I am convinced that the study
of insanity does not induce in
sanity. On the contrary, I be
lieve that a deep study pf that sort
develops the brain, broadens its
scope, and widens JJae perspective
as nothing else can. ,It is the man
of limited scope who is most apt
to lose his reason. It is the man
who thinks too much of the same
things or gets one Idea too rigidly
in mind. The more-interests, -the
more studies, th emore mentality.
To be sure, were the individual
unstable at the start, the intricate
and complicated study of the hu
man mind might unseat his reason,
but not to any greater extent than
concentration on any other-scientific
study. Although I personally
have known a number of psychia--trists
and alienists who have had
mental disorders, in practically
every case the real source of the
trouble was known in some cases,
,ll was from infections, and in'
others family inheritance.
It is my unequivocal t'oplnhm;
that in no case was it the'.stndy
which caused the mental collapse.
N
By Dr. D. PEKCY HICKLING.
Official Alienist for the District
of Columbia.
I see no reason to believe that
the fact that Dr. Ishida was a stu
dent of mental diseases in any
way affected his own mental con
dition. Mental disease is not
caused from any Rerm and is in
no way contagious or infectious.
And as for the study of mental de
rangements, a man studying law
for instance is equally as liable to
insanity as a man studying in
sanity itself.
It is a fact that there is a larger
percentage of physicians and
nurses caring tor mentally de
ranged people In Institutions for
the care of such persons who go
insane than physicians and
nurses in other medical institu
tions. This seems not to be because
of the character of the institution
in which they work nor the condi
tion of the people with whom they
are thrown, but because a larger
percentage of such nurses or phy
sicians are permanently attached
to such Institutions.
Summing up the situation. I do
not see how the fact that Dr.
Ishida was a student of mental
disease could have affected his
mind so as to render him abnormal.

An elaborate menu is lielng pre

is still there.
The review will be held at a hamlet
containing 100 houses, a brewery and
a cheese factory. It Is Just outside of
Langres and a main line railroad
passes the field. The big guns and

On the way from Chaumont the
President will pass numerous war
hospitals, Including a base hospital
and a couple of prisoners' camps,
where German soldiers captured by
doughboys In battle are Interned.
The huts are surrounded by great
fences of barbed wire. These captives
are employed chiefly as wood cutters,
but a few are working on the roads

Presidential party will pass also an
aerodrome where machines guarding
