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 sponged from the vellum.iwhereas' the Iron Ink bites into the fibers and re* sifts the action of air and. light.

Dr.W.F.Bade;Who; , Has Returned From A Tour of Europe ROOSEVELT WILL SPEAK AT SEMINARY Former President Gives Tenta tive' Promise to Professor, Who Returns Here BERKELEY, Aug. 22.— After study and travel in Europe during' the last 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 Hetchy. hearing in Washington,' D. C, in the interests of the Sierra club, of which he Is a director. He was also editor of the New York ' Independent during the absence of Editor William Hayes Warren. He is now a contrib uting editor of that publication: JUDGE RETURNS— Alnmeda. Anjc. '22.— .TndK* It. B, Tappan has returnod from a hunting trip of three weekß in the mountains of Trinity county.

"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.

' 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 rioneer parley rarmers of the great northwest fought many a stubborn battle with the red mas in defense of their farm lands.
