Art of Writing Leads in
Expression of Thoughts
The long centuries of development
of systems of sight and sound signals
have been paralleled by another evolu
tion in the Held of communication—
that of the art of writing.
From the days when prehistoric cave
men scratched crude pictures upon bits
of bong, or upon the walls of their
crude dwellings, down to the age of
fountain pen nnd typewriter, this evo
lution runs without interruption.
The history of writing consists of a
long roster of systems for the expres
sion of thought in visible form; the
hieroglyphics of the Egyptians, the curi
ous wedge-shaped characters of the
Assyrians, the complicated Idea-sym
bols of tlie Chinese, the alphabets of
Phoenicia and ancient Greece nnd those
in which the words of modern man are
written.
On papyrus, on tablets of clay and
wax, on parchment, on paper, men Iihv.j
written in many languages, not alone
that they might record their thoughts
and thus give them permanence, but
that their thoughts, when visibly ex
pressed, might travel—that man might
send messages to his fellow man.
Montana Once Held Weird Life
That strange animals once inhabited
the Crazy mountains region in Mon
tana is revealed by the studies con
ducted by Hr. George G. Simpson of
the American Museum of Natural His
tory. More than sixty species of weird
creatures have been found, ranging
from squirrel-sized animals regarded
as distant relatives of the great family
of primates to creatures called bear-
dogs, although they were not ancestral
to oitlier. These latter animals ap
parently were carrion-feeders, with
hyena like habits. Some very primi
tive forms of hoofed animals are in
the Smithsonian institution’s collection
from t It is region. These creatures lived
in the paleocene epoch, or Just after
tlu? dinosaurs had vanished.—Popular
Mechanics Magazine.
General Morgan’s View
A Union soldier who had been cap
tured by Gen. John Morgan during the
latter’s raid through southern Ohio in
tlie Civil war raised his arms to break
his musket across a rock. To prevent
this, one of Morgan’s men instantly
drew a revolver to shoot the prisoner,
hut Morgan forbade this with the state
ment: “Never harm a man who lias
surrendered. In breaking his musket,
lie is doing just as I would were I in
liis place.”
Education
The term "education” has had vari
ous definitions, more or less satisfac
tory. It is agreed that nothing can
he described as educational which is
more acquisition of information that
leaves unchanged the individual’s ap
proach to a new problem. Educated
people usually are able to find their
way unaided through the study of n
subject to a satisfying conclusion. Edu
cation improves the Individual’s ability
to conduct a search for validity.
