FOR ARKANSAS EDUCATION 



Since the people of Arkansas have to 

 vote on the question of evolution Novem- 

 her 6th, many who never bothered with 

 such subjects before want to know what 

 it is all about. A seed planted in this 

 receptive ground should bear fruit. We'll 

 plant twenty copies of Evolution among 

 Arkansas voters for every dollar that you 

 remit "for Arkansas Education."

"TF YOU do nothing to help make the 

 world better, you help to make it 

 worse. If you do nothing to overthrow 

 tyranny, you assist in maintaining it. If 

 you fail to fight for freedom, you aid in 

 enslaving your friends. If you are not a 

 propagandist for truth, you are a supporter 

 of error." — Queen Silver.

 This is the most practical and effective

AIMEE IN ENGLAND 



The Reverend Aimee .Scrapie McPher- 

 son is now holding forth in Albert Hall in 

 London. In view of the report that 150 

 cities in England have asked for her serv- 

 ices we reprint for the consolation of our 

 British friends the following from E. W. 

 Howe's Monthly: 

 THE REVEREND 

 AIMEE McPHERSON. 



Every lime Aimee McPherson adver- 

 tises a religious meeting, and altracts a 

 considerable audience. 1 blush for ihc 

 race to which I belong; 



For all those who attend such meetings 

 in sober earnestness, and accept what 

 she says as important, are pitiful evi- 

 dences of degeneration; 



I wonder that statislio of such at- 

 tendance are not collected widely, printed 

 as matters of alarm, and something done 



HEIR OF ALL THE AGES, by N. K. 

 McKechnie, Bobbs-Merrill Co. $3.50. 



Here is a story told in reverse, the be- 

 ginning last and the end first. The end 

 is Mr. Hamilton Smith, a strap-hanger 

 like you and me, who clerks downtown 

 and chews gum. He is not an adventurous 

 soul at all, but he certainly did have 

 ancestors who got their thrills. He is not 

 a bit proud of them, what he knows of 

 them, but he certainly ought. 



There was Wat the Wagoner who loses 

 a night's sleep only four generations ago; 

 then Hubert the Smith who marches to 

 the King in the Revolt of the Peasants 

 back in the fourteenth century. Still fur- 

 ther back, Oswulf the Briton waif finds a 

 kind father among the new Sa.\on masters 

 of England. That was forty-five genera- 

 tions ago; the next is seventy-five. Cona:;. 

 the Druid boy, joins the blood-feud of 

 his Briton master to win a sweetheart and 

 fame. Long before that, Ith the husband- 

 man narrowly escapes death and deifica- 

 tion that the village crops may grow. 

 Skipping another six thousand years, we 

 see the uncouth Hu. migrant, woo his 

 fisher-maiden of the lake-dwellings. Long, 

 long before that, Firestick, he of the fire 

 magic, weathers the great Mediterranean 

 flood when the Atlantic waters break 

 through the Gibraltar land-bridge between 

 Europe and Africa. An earlier ancestor 

 was Twice-Born, lucky, though he and 

 his kin must needs follow the great rein- 

 deer herd food-supply across the cold 

 wastes of the Ice Age. And so on, plung- 

 ing back through the hundreds of thous- 

 ands and even millions of years; Fuzzy- 

 Wuz, the lusty voiced ape-man who es- 

 capes Sabre-Tooth, the tiger; then Out- 

 cast, the man-ape, who dies a heroic 

 death; Chat-Chat, monkey-like dweller in 

 a tree-top paradise; little Possie, first of 

 the mammals, who watches the mighty 

 dinosaurs do battle; Flip, the lizard, who 

 loses his tail, but grows a new one; and 

 so on, back through ancestral flesh, fish 

 and worm. Such are the progenitors of 

 Mr. Hamilton Smith, heir of all the ages. 



Mr. McKechnie knows his boys and 

 tells their kind of a story. No boy can 

 resist these vivid tales and no boy will 

 fail to understand this panoramic story 

 of the upward climb of the human race. 

 And that includes tomboys.

lo help save these poor wretches, as we 

 now endeavor to help other unfortunates. 

 The McPherson woman has no intel- 

 ligence, no message, no morals, and no 

 honest way of making a living. The fad 

 that certain persons go to such a crea- 

 ture for help is serious indictment of the 

 human race. 



GROWING UP, by Karl de Schw«inili, 

 The Macmillan Company, $1.75. 

 Parents who have wanted a good book 

 for their children on the facts and mean- 

 ing of sex will find it at last in this most 

 excellent work by de Schweinitz. With 

 its clear simplicity and beautiful pictures, 

 it reads like a child's story book. It is 

 just that to the child, a delightful, new 

 story about himself. The approach is 

 natural and easy, through flowers, fishes 

 and birds to the mammals and ourselves. 

 The entire story is told, the organs and 

 their functions, the sperm and the egg, 

 the meaning of sex love; it is all here, 

 nothing held back, no forbidden or de- 

 ferred mysteries. The tone, too, is just 

 right, — natural and intimate as a child, 

 without a trace of sentimentality and of 

 moralizing. It will spare parents much 

 embarrassment, for when you stop to think 

 of it, the embarrassment is all theirs, not 

 the child's. The child will be only de- 

 lighted and probably will come question- 

 ing happily to learn more of the thrilling 

 story. This book will start him on the 

 way of clean and frank and healthful 

 thinking.
