THE LATE GOVERNOR MOUNT.

Indianapolis News: In war, in peace in
public and in private life, there appeared
the same earnest effort to do the best that
lay in him. Surely the much quoted phrase.
well done, good and faithful servant"
can be said truthfully OF him IL ever 1t
could of any man. His life ends with a
respect, regard and an effection from
those that knew him best that is accorded
to few whatever have been their lives.
He is sincerely mourned.
Indianapolis Press: James A. Mount was
one of the finest specimens Of American
manhood; an example of what our institu-
tions can produce; a citizens Of the re-
respect, regard and an affection from
the ranks to large sphere of influence,
and who always used his powers for the
best result.
Servant of God, well done.
Rest from thy loved employ.
The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy Masters JOY.
Chicago Record: Ex-Governor James A.
Mount, whose sudden death causes general
regret, was of a type OF men whose partici-
patton in politics should be welcomed Es-
sentially man OF the people in habits and
methods Of thought, Mr.. Mount during his
term as governor of Indiana kept the
peoples point of view and tried honestly
to serve them as they would like to be
served. AS a result he held a degree OF
confidence and esteem which enabled him
to take a stand against political intrigues.
to improve the civil service and to ad-
minister state institutions on a business
basis even when the politicians opposing
his course were most insistent. His career
has served to illustrate what satisfactory
service may be given in public Office by
men who, even II they are without especially
brilliant gifts, have honesty OF purpose and
true regard for the interests OF the ma
jority.
Indianapolis Journal: To the dead ex-
governor belongs the honor of putting the
penal, reformatory and benevolent institu-
tions of the state upon the high plane OF
possible, but less conscientious and reso .
Lutte executive would have made the law
ineffective. 1t was not an easy thing to
do, but Governor Mount did ii. His boards
are made up OF some OF the best men In
both parties, and the result generally rec
ognized Is clean and vigorous admlnistrs- =
tion. General Harrison expressed the con
viction OF the intelligent people OF Indiana
when he said that Governor Mounts non
partisan administration of the benevolent
penal and reformatory institutions OF the
good men," and when General Harrison
further remarked that every subsequent
administration is put under bonds not 10

4 birthday surprise party was given

esteem in which Mrs Burns is held
as neighbor and friend A bounti-
full spread was soon laid out before
our view or set out rather. The table
did not grOan-that's the mistake
some people make. But those who
were not expansionists had to do the
groaning because they could not par
take of all the good things in sight.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burns have lived in
this county about twenty years al d
have had their full share of the trials
and fluctuations incident to a pioneer
life in Western Kansas. But if their
surroundings indicate anything Mr.

joyable affair, the participants were
about thirty.
All departed about p. m. wishing
Mrs. Burns the return of many more
birthdays.

wardness or even of his faults than
pure carelessness- The time was when
a public school was looked upon as
place for corraliing the unwilling
young and driving them in herds
along the road of decency and knowl-
edge. 1t has been in recent years on
ly that a child's right to Individual
ty was even considered. Children
were educated in masses and it was
held with considerable spirit what
was good enough for one must do for
another. II child was backward it
was a sign of stubborness, laziness or
a pure delight in causing the teacher
trouble and therefore must be pun
isted to a terrible extent and TO sat
isfy the teacher and doing the child
no actual good. More OF less extend
ed experiments and repeated procla-
nations have been made by individu-
ais and by school officials that every
child should be studied a separate
individual and his peculiarIties taken
into account bv those who seek to
teach him and governed accordingly.
There is a great difference in the
physical development of children
some can very easily be made to obey
with very little trouble-while others
can not. And there would be no sue
cess in the management of a school if
the teacher was not armed with some
coercive power i'm regard to the rules
of the school and co the charges of
children. Command obedience and
control stuhboruneSS and yet be mild.
