The River Fails dehaters had made

The River Falls debaters had made
very conservative statement regard
ing the decision against them-be-
lieving Judgment should have been
awarded in their favor on the score of
argument, conceding the better de-
livery to New Richmond. In stating
the conditions that were unfavorable
to them they did not attribute these
to any dishonorable acts on the part of
their opponents in the debate. That
their statements in criticism are
worthy Of consideration is apparent
from the fact that the allegations in
their complaint have not been de-
MED: that the rejection of their chal-
lenge is a concession of their conten-
ton; and the following statement
from Mr.. Shaw of the Record, one of
the judges, whose integrity is above
reproach and whose intelligence and
honorable intentions are not subject
to criticism, subscribes to the correct
ness of the contentious the River
Falls boys presented:
1.-THE River Falls Journal printed
an ingeniously wOrded article on the
New Richmond debate last week, in
the main with which we heartily con-
cur. However, close examination re-
veals that in weaving this delicate
fabric quite few stitches were drop
ped. For instance it says that the
Richmond prof selected nine of his
personal friends and that the River
Falls boys were obliged to select the
judges from this list. What was Prof.
Ames doing while this proceeding
was enveloping the River Falls boys in
its unholy wiles? We know from per-
sonal knowledge that each of the
judges is warm friend of Mr.. Ames
as we'll as of Mr.. Callahan. Ellis
worth Record.
The puerile attempt of the Repub-
lican TO belittle the force of the boys
complaints by ridicule is a cheap
method of answer. The manner of a
mans reply TO an argument is an un-
mistakable test of his intellectual
equipment and mental capacity. He
who can answer an argument with
cogent reasoning, reinforcing his logic
with pertinent facts, is com mended
for his acumen and intelligence. If
PERSONS only reply consists in set
phrases of scurrilous abuse we set him
down as a contemplate ignoramus or
pitiable i'm becile. Billingsgate and
pot house slang do not rise to the
dignity of honorable notice in the
discussion of any question and the
mud singer is regarded only as an OBJ
iect of disgust.

Mothers Meefinu,

THE Duty OF Telling the Truth was the
topic which occupied the attention OF the la
dies who attended the Mothers Meeting az the
Kindergarten Room last Friday afternoon.
After Rock-a-bye song,-'sThere'S a wee
little nest by Mrs Thatcher, the leader Mrs.
j. NJ. Smith, opened the meeting by repeating
an imaginary story which mother once told
her little boy, A short time afterward when
asked by herjf he had divided his apple with
not done so. What prompted him to tell the
falsehoodg Was il TO please his motheri Had
telling the falsehoodg These questions and
many similar ones We're summed up by the
leader in single query: Should we always
make our statements correspond with realitiesf
The questions as to whether IL is an Injustice
TO the child to tell him of Santa Claus, and
whether 1t Is right for papa to play he is bear
We're discussed at some length by the ladies'
In childhood the reality and fancy is not
clearly drawn. Children live in fancy. II Is q
part OF their being, and is it any wonder that
they often tell for fact, that which is really
fdneyg There Is no innate knowledge in the
child concerning truth; II must be taught him.
Punishment for wrong stories should not
be given until the child is old enough to know
that he has told falsehood. How to punish
for this is perplexing question, and careful
Judgment must govern the mother, or the
teacher at such time. For some children to
be obliged to confess to the falsehood would
be SUFFICIENT punishment, or to be shut up alone;
while to Others these would not serve as any
punishment at all
Why do children tell falsehoodsi More often
from fear than for any other reason.
MISS Peckham has been troubled by little
folks coming late to school, and vet they have
horror of being late. When they find they
are late they begin making up all kinds of ex-
cuses, telling as many as they can in a
breath. But when she assures them that they
Will not be punished, then the excuse usually Is
Il played on the way to school showing that
fear of punishment prompted the wrong stor-
les
The mother, often unconsciously, sets the
child an example in deception. She does this
when she sends him TO the door to tell callers
"A IN
something and fails to secure it for him. The
mother should be like the man who studied
drawing that he might learn TO tell the truth
she should study to tell the truth at all times
For what the parents are the child win gradu-
ally grow to be. s&&
