Love OF Art IN Children.

An art-lecturer declares that the lack
OF art atmosphere In this country, of
which artists complain, Is produced by
the want of sympathetic appreciation
OF art among the rank and file of the
citizens. The real art-lovers of the
country are too few to produce an ap-
precia BILE impression. The lecturer finds
further that the hope Of changing this
condition lies In awakening the love of
art in children. Study to surround
them with artistic things. If a china
mug is to be bought. for which five
cents may be paid, care should be given
to Its selectian.Ihat Its graceful form
or chaste simplicity may influence the
child's taste.F She urges parents to put
the price OF two or three cheap toys
that will be broken in a day into a pic
ture, that Will exert an unconscious in
fluence on the child. The penny pic
lures with which the country is flooded,
the speaker does not recommend. They
are not satisfying. She advises a land
scape. preferably without the human
element, and urges the selection of n
copy of a great model, in some good re-
production, and cites. the case of a
child who found enjoyment in an etch-
ing OF Rembrandt's Three Trees
given to him one Christmas. The many
cheap, coarse autographs that are TAX
en- to children with the thought that
their gay color will please them are
pernicious In their influence, and should
hesburned rather than passed on to the
children. 1t will be only by develop
ihg. genuine love of art in the rising
generatiOns that an art atmosphere for
the future will be forthcoming.

The lo.ll plp,r sh>1' be foun in
every home. No children should grow
up ignorant who can be taught to ap.
preciate the home paper. It is said to
be the stepping stone of intelligence in
all those matters not to be found in
books. Give your children foreign
paper which contains not word about
any person, place or thing, which they
saw or perhaps ever heard of, and how
could you expect them to be interested?
But let them have the home paper and
read of people whom they meet and of
places of which they are familiar and
soon an interest is awakened which in
creases with every arrival of the local
paper. Thus habit of reading is form
ed and those children will read the
papers all their lives and become intel
ligent men and women, a credit to their
ancestors, strong in knowledge of the
world as it is to-day.

We have received from s. H. Amos,
president of the Garden Grove board of
health, long open letter addressed to
the Leon board OF health in which he
severely criticises them for quarantin.
ing against Garden Grove on account of
smallpox. We offered to publish t at
advertising rates, but Mr.. Amos declin-
ed to pay for it, and We do not feel that
we should permit a lengthy controversy
between the boards of health Of Garden
Grove and Leon through our columns,
especially as we this week publish in
another column statement of the Gar
den Grove board as published in their
local paper. Among other things Mr.
Amos says the Leon authorities could
have learned of the true condition of
affairs by calling them up over the
phone, but we are informed by Mayor
Woodard that county attorney Olsen
did talk over the phone with Mayor
Amos at the request Of the Leon author
tiles and they acted on his advice to.
gether with that of DR.. j.. A. McKlveen,
the member of the state board of health
WHO was here and advised the Leon
board to quarantine against Garden
Grove. The town of Leon does not
desire to do anything to injure the busi-
ness interests Of Garden Grove, and the
quarantine was made simply as a matter
of self protection and to prevent the
spread of the disease.

An exchange hits the nail right on
the head when it says that small men
with small purpose do not help to make
towns lively and progressive. To forge
ahead as community there must be
plenty of push and plenty of generosity
among the people, not the poor people,
not the poor people alone, but the rich
people also. There must be spirit of
generosity abroad in the land and the
spirit Of pinch must be relegated to the
rear. We must look at things in this
way: Whatever helps the town must
help all the people in it, more or less.
Whatever keeps the town back keeps all
who have Lying to make back in the
rear.
