THE DRAGON OF IGNORANCE

ApPEARED from the muddy waters of that ocean ,,,hose surface never sustained a compass by which reason was pointed to any shore. This:dragon of tyrannical stupidity closed his eyes and ears to the panorama of the:eternal beauties in form, paintings and dec­ orations of color. This dragon hates and dreads'reason and would sacrifice the childo(thought upon the altar of his selfish-ambition. He seeks and labors to d'''ell under the dark clouds of fog. The black smoke and deadly gasses are.his breath and happy dwelling place. He:hates and would kill the child whom;: he finds sitting in the bright light ~of' the ascending sun of progress. He:hates the mother whose body gave that child birth, who unbosoms her breast~:with milk and love to nourish and~encour­ age that child whose choice is)ight in preference to darkness, His: amuse­ ments are the groans, shrieks and moans of that child's loving mother. That dirty old dragon has prostrated nations that were flowered and perfumed with learning, prosperity and.;progress. He has burned the manuscripts and books of the literati of the world. Like a blood-hound no foot-prints of intelligence can grow too old for his ability to keep on their tracks. He makes hideous gods who are minus of all that is good and lovable; strengthen? their arms that they may destroy all that do not love such gods. He was never known to create a god whose love extended beyond the personality of a brute. In his god making- he left out eyery prin­ ciple of kindness, intelligence and love except that of his own foolish dogmatism. © Still National Osteopathic Museum, Kirksville, MO 166 JOURNAL OF OSTEOPATHY.

E. R. BOOTH, A. M. PH. D., D.O., Formerly Principal rrechnical School, Cincinnrdi, Ohio.

Then it was that the excitement grew intense and the rooters again and again consulted their score books for a 'possible point that had been overlooked.

Althouhg we lost the day, nevertheless in such a defeat there is honor. From comparative obscurity one year ago in athletics the A. S. O. is now rated a "top notcher" among the schools of the state. Besides holding several state records in a number of events our school en­ joys the proud distinction of having among her members an athlete who with a few others holds the world's record, amateur, for the 100 pard dash. Negotiations are now pending between our school and S. S. Still College of Osteopathy, of Des Moines, for a dual field meet to be held on our field June 6th. Then comes the Pullman Handicaps at Chicago, at which we will be ably represented, to be followed by the grand athletic climax, the Pan-American athletic games. It may be that we are too optimistic, but if the bearers of the red and black do not bring back new laurels from these meets it will be because new world's records are established that in their importance will entirely obliterate the memory of Wefm, Rush, and Crum.
