Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.
THE RECOVERY IS HERE. THE REPORTS THAT COME from all over the country concerning the return of confidence and prosperity in general, is the most welcome news that could possibly be imagined. The news from the business and industrial world seems to be of the most agreeable tenor. Deep-seated must be the megrims that will prevail against-such optimism. Sulfa, gospel is indeed cheery at this time of the year as the holiday season swiftly approaches. There is every reason to believe that business men in the Calumet region will never see a more prosperous season than that which is almost upon us. And will they deserve it? If anyone in the country deserves unlimited prosperity it is the business men of the cities of Hammond, Gary, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Whiting. They have carried a heavy load; they have worn cheerful faces when their bank books looked anything but encouraging.
fundamental change has come. The business men have been wait
ing anxiously for a sign and at last it has come, and it is one that they
cannot fail to be satisfied with. The re-employment is not merely pro
clamatory, it is substantial.
It is not of the bootstrap lifting kind. It represents a revivification
and there is nothing barren about it. Confidence is truly restored, this is the new fact of the business situation. We lost it and suffered; we have it again and will prosper. We don't need to talk ourselves back to good times. Those days are past. The panic is one, as it came, mysteriously. All hail to confidence. Let's get ready for business. ABOUT THE DAIRYMAN AND THE FARMER.

IT IS CERTAINLY GRATIFYING news that comes from Crown Point, anent the meetings of the milk shippers who met there last Saturday. The meeting has demonstrated that the milk shippers of Lake county have determed to get pure milk, and will work unceasingly until Lake county, as she does in many other things in the state, will stand in the front ranks on the dairy question.
The farmer has changed his opinion about the health officials and the pure food inspector, and instead of regarding them his enemies he now looks upon them as his friends. When the agitation for pure milk started, the farmer was wont to look upon the health official as an intruder, who knew nothing of farming pursuits and still less about handling milk. He was inclined to be clannish and protect hi3 neighbor, whose milk was regarded with suspicion. He figured out and very reasonably that some day he might be in his neighbor's fix, and that he would not like to have the whole county looking askance at him for i It did not take him long to realize, however, that while he was putting clean milk on the market others were spoiling that market, and that his product was viewed with suspicion in Chicago. Now the farmer has taken a new tack and will work energetically, to help bar the man who puts dirty milk on the market. Another matter which interested the farmer deeply at the Crown Point meeting were the announcements- relative the investigations along scientific lines for tuberculosis in cows. No farmer wants unhealthy cattle and the sooner the test is made the better it will please him. While the dairyman and the farmer have now taken such a healthy interest in the situation let them by no means believe that the millenium has been reached in the way of cleanliness, just because they are taking notice. They must act in accordance with the rules that have been pointed out to them, and if they will only look around them in their own' barn yards and in the barn, they will find enough to keep them busy for some time to come. The Times, however, wants to congratulate the farmer for having made a beginning. SANITY WILL RULE HENCEFORTH.
SCHOOL DUNCES. Do not become too much concerned if your child makes slow progress at school. Only a few students are expected to come near to the "standard." The standard is unattainable, which is absurdthat Is to say, the school accepts 60 to 75 per cent, which tacitly admits the fact that the standard is too high. Therefore If your boy or girl does average school work you should be satisfied. And do not be agitated if the teacher says your child is dull. Here are some remarkable facts com
piled by William McAndrew: Listen! Beecher was thirty-fourth in bis class. Linnaeus' teacher said he was onfit, Darwin's that he was dull, Seward's that he was stupid, Wordsworth's that he was a disappointment, Sheridan's that he was a defective, Humboldt's that he lacked ordinary intelligence, Heine's that he was a dunce, Byron's that he belonged to the tail, Huxley's that he was notably defective, Schiller's that he was very deficient, Lowell's that he was negligent.
More? Goldsmith's teacher said he could not learn, Wagner's that he was a mental sloven, Goethe's that be wa9 unsatisfactory, Emerson's that he was hopeless, Pasteur's that he was only average, Thackeray's that he was undistinguished. Gladstone's that he had no unusual ability, Watts' that he lacked the qualities of success. Besides E. J. Swift In "Mind In the Making" gives thirty pages of EMINENT MEN DUBBED FAILURES while In school by their teachers. There is a reason: School Is not life. Our present system of education provides an artificial mental diet It is
beypnd a few fundamentals unfitted for real life here and now. The men who formulated the system lived long ago. They did not study real life and try to reproduce it. Any well posted educator will tell you so if he is honest. The most that can be claimed for our school currlculums is that they will give the student mental discipline brain exercise. Well"Marks" and "credits" cannot determine brain progress. They may be indices of memory; that's all. Do not be disturbed if your child Is only "average" in school study. School is not life.

RESIGNS TO TAKE OFFICE. The resignation o? Judge William S. Haggard as a member of the board of trustees of the Soldiers' Home at Lafayette has been accepted. The judge was compelled to resign because of his election to the legislature, as one man cannot hold the two state positions at one time.

A GLANCE AT CONDITIONS in Gary during the past few months re
veals one strange fact and that is that sensational crimes have come to
be a thing of the past.
The county and state were wont to be constantly shocked by recurrent
crimes that took place in Gary, and they followed one after the other in
such a way as to distress the people of Gary.
It may be pertinently asked whether the decrease in crime is not almost wholly due to the decrease in the number of saloons. They are getting fewer and fewer. As the months go on Gary is getting more and more
a dry community.
The lessening of shocking crime is a source of unlimited gratification to the officialdom of the city, its lovers, its business men and its people in
general. ,
The situation as far as dark and bloody deeds are concerned Is splendidly ameliorated whatever the reason may be, all of which is a source of joy to
Its people.

THIS IS MY 70TII BIRTHDAY. Amos E. Doibeor. Amos Emerson Dolbear, a noted
American educator and inventor, was
born in Norwich, Conn., Nov. 10, 1837, and was educated at Ohio Wesleyan university. He early decided upon a
career as a scientist and his success in
his chosen field is attested by the numerous honors bestowed upon him by eientific societies both in America and Europe. Among the notable things he
invented or perfected may be mentioned
the magneto telephone, the static tele
phone and the spring balance ammeter. He is credited with the discovery of
the convertibility of sound into electricity in 1S74, and a process of photo
graphing with electric waves. In 1881
he exploited a method of telegraphing
without wires. Dr. Dolbear has written extensively for scientific journals and magazines. Since 1874 he has been professor of physics at Tufts college.

Muncic, Ind., Nov. 9. Carrying out an order that was given contingent upon the election of a republican president, last week, the Indiana Bridge company of this city, began this week the fulfillment of a contract for the manufacture of 1,100 tons of structural steel. This contract alone will tax the capacity of the plant and its several hundred men for two months and another order for 600 tons, just received, will keep the factory busy much longer. C. M. Kimbrough, president of the Indiana Bridge company, although a strong republican and anxious for the success of Judge Taft, refused to display these contingent orders until after the election, holding that it was not right to influence the votes of the men in his emp-loy and others by that method, even though he was anxious for them to vote the republican ticket.
