The Unknown World About Us
_ ___————————^
THE WORLD is full of colors sounds and objects and no mar
has been able to sense all that there is to see and feel and
hear.
Of the world which science has discovered we know only
about one-eighth.* The remaining seven-eighths is hidden from
our consciousness.
Take for instance the colors. The human eye responds only
to seven primary colors and the shades and tints* that come be-
tween red at the one end of the prism and violet at the other
Yet science has discovered the infra-red below red and ultra-
violet above violet.
The ear responds to vibrations between those of 32 per sec-
ond at the lower end and those of 4224 per second at the uppei
end. Between 32 and 4224 vibrations per second lie the musical
tones that we can hear with our physical ear.
But there are vibrations below our consciousness and sound*
above. Where sound ends to human ears electricity begins. High-
er ifi the frequency of vibration electricity ends and something
else begins—science hasn’t yet discovered what. But still higher
up in vibration frequency comes light visible to the eye and
there is a wide range of vibration frequency that we can cogniz.f
by the organ of sight. Still higher in the scale are vibration*
which science has not identified and far up occurs the vibration
which manifests itself as the X-ray.
What a different world it would be if these unknown vibra-
tions could be sensed by human organs. We are told that if our
senses were attuned to the electrical vibrations an electric oi
telephone wire would be a hole. Our rooms would be lit not by
an electric bulb which would be invisible but by the wires alon*i
the wall. In fact it is said if we possessed electrical sight
there would be no need of wires since the electrons of the atom
would furnish us with light.
Materialistic science by its discoveries hints at a wonderful
world all around us of which we can only conceive in imagina-
tion. But occultists make bold to state that what we see in the
physical world is but a fragment of the true world and that that
which we do no^perceive by any of our developed physical sense*
- is the more real and vastly more wonderful.
If all this be true has not science and occultism immeasur-
ably glorified nature and its maker and not belittled them a*
some of our narrow-minded critics would have us believe?
Closing the Doors to the Pupil
THE state text book board commission has ordered that all re-
ference to evolution be eliminated from the book entitled
“Biology for Beginners” which the commission approved for
adoption. /
R. T. Ellis secretary if the Texas State Teachers Association
probably speaks for the majority of the membership when in an
editorial entitled “Autocracy in Education.” in the associations
official publication he takes the position that the action of the
commission is wrong in principle. Says the editorial:
“If we are not.permitted to learn anything about these awful
social economic and political and scientific and religious theories
and doctrines it is certain that we shall not beable to defend
ourselves against these doctrines. Our only recourse will be tc
establish a dictator or series of dictators to settle all debatable
questions for us.”
He goes on to say that both teachers and pupils are seekers
after truth and are not propagandists. “They (the pupils) re-
fuse to become excited even when the theory of evolution is undet
discussion” he says. “They want all of the evidence. And when
all of the evidence is in conclusions will be formed or modiiieu
as the case may be all for himself. But not one really good
teacher anywhere will try to force any student either to belie\c
or disbelieve this or any other conclusion that can not be demon-
strated in a concrete way.” .
The commission of course has a legal right to eliminate the
reference to evolution since it-is empowered to select text book^
for the children of the state. Whether it has a moral right to
throw any obstruction whatever in the child s search ror tiutn
is another matter. . .
A text book commission or a legislature or even a gieat oot >
of religionists assumes a grave responsibility when it starts out
to decide God’s method of creation and having decided to close
the door on all other theories.

Prostrate On a disheveled bed in n
room from which day w.is vanish'ng
Amtura Airsicy^went. Her body shook
her head ached her soult writhed for ir.
all the worlt^ there was no happiness.
Her thoughts naturally were in tur-
moil. . . . She made a mess of things.
She was a fool. . . .Going off like an
idiot and giving up the man she loved
and the things she enjoyed most—for
what? . . . Tommy Loughley Vey
Ardle Johnson—they didn't matter.
They were hateful detestable. Philip
—how she loved him! . . . Oh I’m a
fool a fool! ... If only he were
going to marry y gi"l who would make
. him happy. Hut such a person only
after his money. Money money money!
Worthless because it won’t buy the
things we want most—Philip love hap-
piness. . . .
"Oh Miss Amoura!" Della’s knock
responded on the locked door. ‘"Miss
Amoura!" <
Amour i raised her red eyes from the
silken pillow. "I don’t want any din-
ner.”
Della made apprehensive by the tone
of the answer ventured: "Is there any-
thing the matter Miss Amoura? Any-
thing I can do?”
Amoura wiped her eyes and nose and
Itied to say "No thank you Della”
pleasantly.
11.: maid went downstairs to her
i mistress. ' Miss Amoura she doesn’t
wa.it no dinner. But Missus Ainsley I
think there’s something wrong."
-With Miss Amoura you mean
Della?"
The maid nodded. “I dunno but she
sounded like she’s cryin’.’
Mrs. Jf Reginald Ainsley regarded
her servitor then went silently up the
stairs and tried her daughter's door.
vWho is it?” came the voice from
within.
...
ai owier o?ar.
-I’ll be down shortly mother."
Mrs. Ainsley knew now that some-
thing was wrong. Amoura’s voice was j
enough.
"I’d like to see you for a moment j
now. Open the door please."
She waited impatiently to see her j
daughter who tried to clear her eyes
iearranpe her hair and tidy the bed
in the minute before she opened the
portal and admitted her mother.
The elder woman walked in without
looking at her then when she was in
the middle of theroom turned. - Dear-
est! You’ve been crying."
“I have a headache.”
-Come lie down then. I’m sorry 1
got you up."
Amouraj complied without r sj•
ing. -Don't turn on the light?; th v
hurt my eyes.” She wished her mother
would leave her alone.
Mrs. Ainsley sat down on the edge of
the bed and took one of her daughter s
white hands. "Aren't you happy mv
dear?" she asked as only a mother can
ask such a question.
There was no use to keep up the pre-
tence and Amoura knew it. "I’m just
angry with myself for being such a
little fool" she murmured.#
Mrs. Ainsley uncertain what to say
was wisely silent.
“Oh. mother. I’ve been such a terrible
little fool." The pats of her mother’s
hand were as the balm of Gilead.
-There! Don’t cry. dearest. You’ve j
just been youth" she added vaguely j
Amoura was ashamed of her tears*
her loss of self-po3session. She dabbed
her eyes and tried to make a conversa-
tion.
I -It was so lovely on the mount this
afternoon. You mu|t come riding with
me sometime mother."
"You know I haven’t been on a horse
lov yea:.-j.
••Well III hit.h up a ca;t for you
then." Her^eycs were clearing now and
her mind was becoming more orderly.
Why should she grieve? If Philip VVtin-
rich was idiot enough to go off and
marry some gold-digging little actres .
then let him* . . . Tears appeared in
her eyes again and she sank her head
into a pillow.
“Amoura my dear!"
“Please let me be by hiyself mother.”
But Mrs. J. Reginald An.ley was]
above all else a mother. Ore of hei
children was unhappy. Dignitv sel -
possession she discarded. She laid
down upon the bed and took Amoura
into her arms.
Della when she came upon this un-
usual scene some minutes later snatch- |
ed the conclusion that J. Reginald '
Ainsley was responsible for the grief.
"It’s Mr. Weinrich on the telephone
Miss Amoura” the maid said uncer-
tainly explaining her entrance into the
room.
"I’m not at homo.”
"No dear go and tall: to him” her
mother counseled.
“No mother” was the r-'f-ly

“I believe in the probation system
and when properly administered I am
confident that as to the cases of most
individuals dealt with it is doing much
to reduce crime. But it cannot neces-

Many Not Prosecuted
"But a3 to the increase of crime.
Me cannot always depend on statistics.
Thousands of criminals are dealt with
unofficially or are not brought into
court at all. A Chicago man told me
eight youths in his employ had stolen
money from him and had not been pro-
secuted but merely discharged. A prin-
cipal of an Eastern high school told me
there were seventeen hoys in that school
who had been guilty of stealing automo-
biles or accessories and not one had
been taken to any police authority."
the electrician who would rather see
h comedy than a tragedy filled the
blank shell in the "un with ro'-k-sa’t.
The person in question was duly shot
at. He shouted his “My God! I’m shot!"
and rolled dead by the footlights. Soon
he began to feel the stinging effects of :
the -alt and became highly nervous.
Jut before the ’ curtain came down!
the audience was terribly surprised to
sec the apparently dead man rise to
his feet. As he arose he announced
in a loud voice - By God! I AM Shot!”

He always has thought of progiess in terms of pleasure.
Man has never taken to heait Aristotle's admonition that "Not
pleasure but freedom from pain is what the wise man will aim
at. ’
We are all born as Schiller says in Arcadia. In other words
we come into the world full of claims to happiness.
Most of us live for our momentswcf pleasure.
And in old age he remembers all o ' the pleasures he has ex-
perienced and few or none of the pains.
* * * * „
But we must remember that not only men of different races
but also men of the spme race and even the same men at differ-
ent periods of life have different standards of happiness anil
pleasure.
Every age has its pleasures its style of wit its c wn way.
Remembering this we cannot with justice criticize the mod*
other persons travel in pursuit of happiness.
Our standard cannot be every one’s.

• “Moralists of one class derivd moral rules from a suprerr *
political power” Herbert Spencer observed. Those of another
class recognize no other origin fer them than the revealed divine
will.
“And though men who take social prescription for their gu
do not formulate their doctrine yet the belief frequently be-
trayed that conduct which society permits is not blame-wo.tr
implies there are those who think right and wrong can be made
such by public opinion.”
* * * ♦
It ought to be-apparent by now after several thousand year;
of failure that men cannot be made moral by law.
Because as Tacitus long ago remarked. "Things forbid.?* •
have a secret charm” forbidden pleasures alone are loved im-
moderately.
It is a weakness of man that to him what is common and law-
ful is undesirable; and what is unlawful is very attractive. Th .
explains more than one problem of today.
Do You Like
Spiders?

-In his early days you remember Mark Twain was
editor of a Missouri newspaper t A superstitious sub-
scriber wrote him saying that he had found a spider in
f
« his paper and asking whether it was a sign of good
luck or bad. The humorsit replied:
“Old Subscriber: Finding a spider in your paper
was neither good nor bad luck for you. The spider was
merely looking over our paper to see which merchant is
hot advertising so that he can go to that store spin a
web across the door and lead a life of undisturbed peace
ever afterwards.”
