SUPERSTITIONS OFTEN
STICK TO A PERSON
Southern Educator Gives Out
Information on Subject
Reversing the usual order of things, a
southern educator went north the othei
day and told a Washington audience
some things to convince them that men
south of Mason and Dixon's line occa
sionally have ideas, and good ones, at
that. The educator in question talked
about "Suggestions on the Psychology
of Superstitions," but his speech was
not nearly as" heavy as its title would
indicate.
He was talking in plain terms, about
the curious superstitions that stick in
the craw of every peoßle. and asked
his audience why it was that even edu
cated people believe in things which are
utterly absurd on their face, says the
Richmond Times-Dispatch. To prove
that his question was a fair one, he
told of experiments recently tried by
him in one of the southern universi
ties. The name of this institution, we
may remark. In passing, we shall re
serve for the present, lest some may
be inclined to poke fun at its learned
teachers and its superstitious students.
The experiments in question con
cerned popular "signs." the stu
dents wrote out all the supersti
tions they remembered, and wrote
under them whether or not they
believed in them. The reports handed
in by the college boys were a revela
tion. Old folk legends which had been
handed down for generations were, re
called, and superstitions that are prob
ably as old as the world itself were re
membered by these educated sons of the
twentieth century. One boy, for ex
ample, expressed his firm belief that if
he picked his teeth with a splinter
taken from a tree that had been struck
by lightning; he would never have the
toothache. A number b?lit-ved that hair
cut at the time of the new moon- would
grow better than at any other time,
while many expressed their opinion that
if they dropped the kitchen dishrag
they' would coon have, company. Oth
ers held that the men who carried a
potato in his pocket would never have
rheumatism, while a large number be
lieved that when a dog howled a death
fn the family was Impending. There
were others as grotesque and as absurd
as these.
The amazing thing "about the whole
affair was that so many of the stu
dents believed in these superstitions.
Some $75 students were examined, and
of this number 45 per cent believed in
superstitions which numbered some
C.OOO. - Perhaps even a larger percentage
i of the students believed in some super
stitions, or at least partly believed in
I them. Not half the men were free from
| some belief In signs and omens.
These are the facts that admit of no
dispute. Men believe where they should
not believe, and that is all there is to
it.. Their fathers believed before them,
and their fathers before them, as far
as history is recorded, as .far as tra
dition v runs. Some of these same le
gends were believed when Ary^irl,an
cestors watched . the heavens In ' tfie
steppes of Central Asia, others were be
lieved when the German tribes "came
into. Europe; the Catholic" saints be
lieved them and /the Greek heroes
served them, the Anglo-Saxons followed
them and the Africans in the center of
the Dark Continent watched them day
by day.
Civilization may move on, and men
may wiser than their sires, but
there Is something In' the mind of man
that makes him believe where his rea
son doubts and his sane mind scoffs.
THE SAN FRANCISCO GALL, TUESDAY; [AIIGUST 23, 1910,
HEAVY ENROLLMENT
AT THE UNIVERSITY
Nearly 3, 1 00 Students Register
for Work for the Fall Term
on First Day
BERKELEY, Aug. 22.— Three thou
sandand ninety-one students had reg
istered at the university up to 6 o'clock
tonight and all enrollment figures at
the institution have been broken by
the gain of nearly 350 students for the
year/ The increase in new students is
90; in old students 186 and_ in gradu
ates 72. A' year ago the /lumber regis
tered on the first day was 2,399, and In
1909 the enrollment reached 2,250. The
gain each year, with the tremendous
jump this year, shows a^ marvelous
growth of. the university.
The enrollment will greatly crowd
many of the classes and the need of
more room will at- once become appar
ent. Tomorrow instruction will begin
in all classes.
"The purposeVof getting an educa
tion is to escape slavery," . declared
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler in his
Jirst address to the freshmen in Har
mon gymnasium this morning. Doctor
Wheeler was given an enthusiastic r.e
ccption by the students, who tilled the
building to its utmost capacity.
Continuing his address, the head of
the university said that a slave was a
piece of machinery which served the
purpose of its manipulator. He" said:
We can not ever expect totally
to escape slavery; habits and
prejudice and ignorance, do the
best we will, niust always leave
part of our action mechanical, but
the purpose of education is to
wrest the field of action as far as
we may from blindness and bring
it under the sovereignty of en
lightened reason.
This conquesi Is achieved, in
first instance, by learning to know
the cylinders and gearing of the
inneMself and establishing one's
seat at the wheel; and, in the sec
ond instance, by learning to Judge
for one's self the directions 'and
the ways in the outer world of
man and nature which surrounds
us. We shall never learn all or
any great part of the detail of
that world about us and must often
have recourse to maps, but we
must know how to use the maps
and how to interpret them, how
they are made, what their limita
tions are and how to supplement
them. He is still a pitiable slave
who, knowing not where. he is go
ing,- nor how to find out, knows
only that he's on the way.
It is ignorance first of all that
makes man slaves. An educated
man must know how the phenom
ena of the world, about him came
to be, or be prepared to under
stand. As concerns human institu
tions he must understand or be
prepared to understand how their
phenomena are historically condi
tioned; as concerns those of na
ture he must understand their laws.
Knowledge in one field of human
institutions prepares a man read
ily to understand in others; train
ing In one natural science almost
always carries with it prepared
ness to understand .another, and to
a certain extent, also. 1 each of the
two great branches of study helps
to the appreciation of the other.
Education means furthermore
liberation from prejudice. A man
whose action can be guided by an
allusion to race -or the shouting
of a party name or shibboleth has
merely responded to an external
stimulus, like a machine or a star
fish, and is not an educated man.
He is an easy slave to the dema
gogue and the trickster.
An educated man will not be
swayed by clamor or moved by
gossip and rumor. ~. Human herds
sometimes stampede like cattle,
but one chief reason why we are
taking pains to educate men is to
eliminate the stampede.
One of the chief dangers of the
republic is the stampede. Its chief
hope and safeguard, looking to the
future, is the body of 200,000 stu
dents occupied today in its col
leges and universities.
An educated man having learned
how to base action upon well ascer
tained facts assembled in the light
of history and law will not' easily
surrender his supreme right of ra
tional judgment and submit to dic
tation and take orders when ex
ecuting an office where he Is pre
sumed to be an independent judg
ing personality.
An educated man can ndt be, if
true to his calling, a mere tool;
he may join in action, but he can
not merely take program and cast
his vote after the manner of a
phonograph.
The educated man must be ex
pected instinctively to protest
against all unreason, against all
violent and .arbitrary procedure,
and against all suggestion of doing
things or getting things or giving
things for no good reason. "Ex
changing favors" and - "using in
fluence" represent the doing of
things for false reasons. To get
by influence and favor a position
one has not earned or deserved will
not appeal to the taste of a man.
trained in reason and reasonable
ness. .Exchanging votes, as in the
casft of voting for a man's measure,
in consideration of his voting for
yours, represents a trade in in^
commensurable quantities and is
arbitrary and unreasonable: but,
what is worse, it involves the ob
taining of a private favor at a
public cost; and public and private
must be kept sacredly apart and
in commensurable.
SIEGES OF CITY TO
BE COMMEMORATED
Monument by Bartholdi to Be
Erected in Belfort
The city df Belfort has definitely
adopted the model by Bartholdi, com
pleted by him some time before his
death, for a monument commemorat
ing the three sieges through which the
place passed in the last century.
The commanders were Major L,e
grand in 1814, General Lecourbe in 1815
and Colonel Denpert Rochereau in
1870-71. '^7::-: ,
Ari-angements . for setting up the
monument are well in hand, and it is
expected that the inauguration . will
take place in the spring of 1912. .
Bartholdi, an Alsatian .by birth, is
perhaps best known to English speak
ing people by his statue of, Lafayette
in Union square, New York, and his
"magnum opus,", the statue of Liberty,
in New York harbor. •
MINERAL INK WAS USED
IN THE EARLY HISTORY
In* ancient times Indian Ink, made
from lampblack and glue, was used
for writing on papyri, but inspection of
the earliest manuscripts, on vellum lor
parchment shows that iron gall inks
were introduced not later, than the
ninth, century. \ The reason, forv the
change, so we learn from the Univer
sity Correspondent, was that although
a carbon.lnk is more permanent<lt f , has
no penetrating power and can be

Iron Ink bites into the fibers and re*
sifts the action of air and. light.

16 months on his sabbatical leave of
absence from the Pacific theological
seminary. Dr. William F. Bade re
turned last night bringing the news
that Theodore Roosevelt will probably
lecture at the seminary in March while
in Berkeley. The former president has
already given a tentative promise to
lecture here, and final "word Is ex
pected in the near future. '
Professor Bade spent his time abroad
largely in study, and he completed sev
eral notable bulletins of literary and
archaelogical significance. Hhe wrote
the "Italian Social Movement in Rela
tion to the Vatican" while in Rome
and other Italian cities and made many
contributions to literature bearing on
Dante. His theological theses at
tractedattention of European biblical
scholars.
Besides his studies in Italian and
church literature in Italy, where he
spent nearly six months, Doctor Bade
devoted considerable time to the study
of the systems of teaching in the
various continental universities.
He was in Paris during the great
flood and escaped from his hotel just
a day before the water of the Seine
engulfed it. From the French capital
he went to" London, where he was ' a
daily visitor at; the British museum,
delving in archaeological -lore. He also
studied at- Oxford university.
AVhile abroad, the Berkeley savant
was the recipient of much attention.
He met Roosevelt in Italy and later at
Dorchester house during the re
ception of the American ambassador.
He was honored at : several universities
and assisted at the University of Turin
in the examination of candidates for
the degree of doctor of philosophy. In
Rome he was the guest of Count Co
voni and the Prince and Princess Bor
ghesi. At Berne, Switzerland, Dr. and
Mrs. Edwin Mendi entertained him.
In England, where he devoted time
to the study of the social movement,
he attended the annual meeting. of the
social democratic party and sat be
tween H. M. Hyndman and the count
ess of Warwick, the former founder
and leader of the English social
democracy.
Doctor Bade also attended the Hetch

"NINETY-THREE"
The Story of a Famous Name
and How It Originated J
The foremost dermatologist in
France, .Dr. Sabourand of Paris, and
Professor Unna, Hamburg, Germany,
discovered that a microbe caused bald-
ness. To prove 'their, theory, Dr. Sa-
bourand infected a guinea pig with
some of these microbes and in a com-
paratively short time the animal was
denuded* of every hair*that was on.its
body. -
Some eminent histrologlsts and chem-
ists were employed by the United Drug
Co., Boston, Mass., to find the means
of destroying these microbes and a
remedy that would create a new growth
of hair -where the hair roots 'had 'hot
been entirely destroyed. .
After months of study, experiment-
ing and research work, they discovered
what they claimed would do what was
demanded. To 'unquestionably prove
their theorjv-100 leading druggists, ,lor
cated In as many different cities,. were
requested to each furnish the , name
of a responsible person suffering from
falling hair and baldness. Each of these
100 persons was furnished three, bot-
tles of the. preparation with a request
to give it a thorough trial and report
results.' ; , v
Five of , these people failed to report.
Two" declared they had been bald for
yearsr-that their hair follicles had long
been _closed,- and 'their scalps were
smooth and- glossy. " "' : .. '"-:
Ninety-three of the 100 sent in en-
thusiastic-, reports, - stated that , they
were delighted with: thft-hair-restorlng
qualities of the preparation, and ex-
pressed sincere thanks for the .wonder-
ful benefits brought about by its use.

NO WAY TO TRACE THE
PENNIES THAT ARE LOST
Whef^ the 100,006,006 Turned
Out Yearly Go a Puzzle
What bjecomes of the-vast volume of
copper pennies that are turned out each
year by the government? ' They are
never- called in and; redeemed' like some
kinds of currency., and- coins, but they
seem to "disappear as7fastas they are
stamped and put in' circulation. V^"i:i
It" is unusual if the date on any of
the pennies in a man's purse at the
end of the day is over 10 years back,
yet the Philadelphia mint, which coins
all the copper' pennies, sends out in
some years as many as as $1,000,000
worth of them' to the trade centers—
100,000,000 one-cent pieces,, says the
New" York Times. If laid flat, edge to
edge, in a row they would reach more
than 1,000 miles. . And still there are
some sections of the country, where the
penny is little known. '
In many of the mountain districts of
the south the "York shilling," 12%
cents, is still .spoken of in trade, bilt
no one ever hears the 1 cent piece men
tioned. In. many towns in the south
and west the tradesmen offer nothing
for a penny, a & cent purchase is the
smallest that c£n be made. But of
late there have been more demands for
pennies from the west, and the govern
ment experts have declared that this
is a sign of increased frugality.
In the east the - chief use of the
penny, outside of. filling the chiM's
bank ' and buying the morning paper,
is for the purchase of chewing gum and
1 cent candies. This is a habit which
Is. Increasing in New York- city every
year. All the railroad and ferry termi
nals and the subway and elevated sta
tions are lined with penny in the slot
machines, and they reap an enormous
harvest every day. So accustomed has
the public become to their use that
many of the more important stations
and waiting rooms have as many as
a dozen of these machines, which have
to be emptiedat least once a week.
Uncle Sam takes in many pennies for
stamps and postcards, and many of
them- flow into the contribution box
in the churches and religious societies.
But all these ways in which the penny
is put to use does not explain where
they eventually go or 'what makes
