Stratford will compare well here, for there is no doubt but that this is one of the most normal, all-round MOST OF US STAGE HANDS.

Most People Frefer Owning A Home In many cities, fortunately not Stratford, the first of this month is generally recognized as moving day, and this particular form of household disruption continues spasmodically for the entire 31 days following. In being free from this particular mal- ady the city is particularly fortunate. Et is a well known fact that by far the greater number of Stratford pevo- pie own their own homes.

JORDAN, Mer. commend I The Fletcher Johnston Press for Good Job Printing (Mail and Empire) , The little town of Dayton, Tennes- see is on the map for the first time, that is to say the map of the Ameri- can daily newspapers, and Prof. John T. Scopes, athletic coach and science master at the Rhea High School has suddenly become a national . figure. Dayton business men are raising 4a fund of $5,000 to turn to practical ac- count the advertising the town is get- ting, and an enterprising manufactur- er is turning out little brass monkeys which are sold in the streets. The cause of all this commotion is the approaching battle between science and religion which has Prof. Scopes as its centre, Dayton as its scene and W. J. Bryan, Clarence Darrow 'and other famous men as protagon- ists. In brief, Prof. Scopes is charged with having infringed a recent sta- tute of the Legislature of Tennessee which makes the teaching of the theory of evolution a criminal of- fense. W. J. Bryan will aid; the state in his prosecution and Messrs. Dar- row and Dudley Field Malone, of New York, will help in his defence. The Mind in the Making. The law passed by the Legislature at its last session was in deference to the strong wishes of many religious bodies in the state. The Baptist clergy, particularly, were alarmed at what the students at the state university were being taught. They brought pressure to bear upon the Legislature and imported Mr. Bryan to appeal to the higher natures of the legislatuors. He was refused the privilege of addressing both houses put his presence had its effect and the law was passed. The Tniversity of Tennessee which is affected more than any other institution by the law had an inkling of what was coming two years ago when Dr. J. W. Sprowls, professor of psycho- logy, ordered some text books for his classes which were objected to 'py some university officials. Among the books were Prof. James Harvey Robinson's "The Mind in the Mak-, ing,' one of the most fruitful books written by an American in a gener- ation. It contained some remarks upon evolution, a theory which the author, in common with practically all scientific men, accepts. Shortly after the objection had been taken to the books. Dr Sprowls was told that he would not be recommended for re-election to the faculty. Dismissed Professors. There was much indignation among Dr. Sprowl's associates and several of them signed) a petition to the American Association of Uni- versity Professors, -- asking .that an investigation of 'conditions at the university should be made. News of the petition came to the Dean of the University, who cross-questioned all the professors to find if they had asked for the investigation or anything to say against the admin- istration of the. University. The outcome was that Dr. Sprowls and five other professors were informed that they would not be re-elected. Among them was Judge John Ran- dolph Neal, of the law faculty, a man with a considerable reputation, and as a former member of the Legis- lature, a strong and useful friend of the University. Judge Neal se itred to the practice of law. while the other professors found employ- ment in other universities. Later Judge Neal was a candidate for the governorship but was defeated, The The other day he said: "The question is not whether evolution is true or untrue, but in- volves the freedom of teaching. Or, what is more important, freedom of learning. As we see it, the great question is whether the Tennessee Legislature has the power to prevent the young minds of Tennessee from knowing what has been thought and said by the world's greatest scien- Issue. had | tists, and thus to prevent them from forming their own judgment in re- gard to questions of life and science. | We regard it as equally un-Amer- ican and, therefore, unconstitutional whether it is kingly or ecclesiastical | authority or legislative power that | would attempt to limit the human mind in its inquiry after the truth. Against this we set the state- ment of Mr. Bryan: "The hand which writes the pay- cheques should rule the schools. A majority of the people of the ~ Na- tion believe in the Bible.
