By David Starr Jordan TUST now America organic evolution has come to the front as a popular issue With it is the broader question as to whether scientific teaching and scientific in research shall be subject to official censorship of men of such matters As to the final issue who know nothing there can be no doubt, for science will insist secure upon and own freedom its The word evolution second class called evolutionists, often very baffling workers themselves, are the imperfectly educated accept evolution but are impatient with the slow progress which actual knowledge demands They delight to run ahead of science and to anticipate it by methods of fancy, using fragments of philosophy, bits of poetry or of assumed "logical necessity." as commonly accepted comprises making of the material universe and the development of life and mind on the earth Cosmic evolution deals with the formation of worlds, moons, mountains, crystals, seas, rivers and glaciers matter that in itself has no organic life This bears no two A to who distinct conceptions, the we can know out Science A third It is that true which nothing we can trace is, it But men who of lives to the life and are therefore in full agreement as to the meaning of what men have found to be true No man can have an opinion of his own on all can all to subjects authority He must for trust most the edu- the But the mark of man is that he knows what authority he can trust To enable men to this is a central purpose of educacated in all details, perfectly orderly its nomena authority the escape It is true that all are undergoing change, and that all such change so far as it and much larger class realize they must acaccept most conclusions on study of the science of same universe, the in from find embarrassed by tradition and intuition have given their on the earth of animals and plants is In science we can alike intimate relation to organic evolution, the development are the truth only so fast as unite the pheof life and those of one group of to tion To teach this conclu- inert matter as sion or that, one set of dog- phenomena mas ignore and confuse our knowledge of the essential qualities of organized life Cosmic evolution in these days presumes gle is to rather than another, truth even rather than false- hood, is business no one not a university's rather to It is such training as will enable the student to find give to doubt Its strug- with tradition is virout for himself Only by The facts of orsuch means can any man David Starr Jordan ganic evolution are equally acquire the "courage of his well, though not so exhaustively, settled, but there perconvictions."

Or literally in the image of God in this respect also? did he inherit his normal "dental formula" from some members of the ancestral stock of the anthropoid Darwin inferred? Let us follow this line further How many principal points or cusps has the reader got on his second right If he is like most people he will or left lower molar? find only four cusps, separated from each other at their bases by two main grooves forming a cross This is a distinctly human arrangement and taken by itself is a far-off apes, as follows: on either side of the upper jaw two incisors, one canine, two "milk molars"; on either side of the lower jaw two incisors, one canine, two "milk molars." Is it a mere coincidence that normal human children also have twenty milk teeth? And that they also have, on either side of the upper jaw two incisors, one canine, two "milk molars"; and on either side of the lower jaw two incisors, one canine, two "milk molars"? And is it a further coincidence that when gorilla and human children grow up they should as a rule have thirty-two teeth in the adult set, arranged as follows: on either side of the upper jaw two incigors, one canine, two premolars, three molars; and on either side of the lower jaw two incisors, one canine, two premolars, three molars? conspicuous point of difference from the corresponding known apes, living and fossil, which have normally five cusps on the second lower molar But about one-fourth of white people have a fifth cusp on the first lower molar and a good many negroes, black Australians and other primitive individuals have five And as there are cusps on all three lower molars hundreds of jaws in which the fifth or hinder cusp has almost disappeared, so there are other jaws in which tooth of all the it is less and less reduced human jaws known, namely Turormlkinchors GorillachUcC kJhitechHU twoffiilXmolars lower In the most ancient fossil the Heidelberg jaw, the EVOLUTION Pace Four Mousterian jaw and the Ehringsdorf jaw, there are five main cusps on all three lower molars Is it another coincidence that each of the three lower molars of all the known anthropoid apes also bears five main cusps? And is it also by chance that in all known apes and many men these cusps are separated at their bases by six main grooves, each of which obviously corresponds in position in apes and men? Thus if the reader wears the sign of the cross on his second lower molar, the chances are that his first lower molar is impressed with the mark of the ape, and certain it is that the oldest December, 1927 known human lower molars are the ones that most closely approach the "Dryopithecus pattern" of the primitive ape molar We not yet know the direct ancestors of man as well as we know the direct ancestors of the horse, but what little we know of fossil men and fossil apes is fully in accord with the vast mass of testimony already gathered by the students of human and comparative anatomy and physiology Their verdict has long been that man is a blood cousin to the ape What scientific evidence is there to the contrary? fossil Bamboo ^0 BABY animal in America today is attracting more attention from men of science than fourteen-months- old Bamboo, the infant gorilla in the Philadel|ihi;i He the most is human animal When Bamboo arrived at Henry Bartel's New York he proved so charming Zciu iiiv of his callers could not be prevailed in- fant in captivity for his ways are decidedly like those of a normal ^B9BD£ paper '^^^^^Bt ^°>i FiiiF M) How He Explain • a teacher I will, without compromise, stand ment fundamental these for actively resist every encroach- and upon things, my them within sphere of liyARFARE enemy evolution convention, which will be held dur- ville Cumberland Christmas week, a number of noted McKemie, Bulletin, The association adapted Tenn attention lution, he and teaches evostinking skunk and a liar."
