The temptation to make balls of the

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE,

To the Editor of The Journal,

To the Editor of The Journal,
I wish to express myself in regard to
school discipline, which Is under discus
sion, and I for one will take the middle
ground. There is danger in exercising
too much love for the pupils ana there
is injustice in being too severe. The
glory of our republic Is that We are a.
law-abiding people and the best thing we
can do for our children in preparing them
to be fit citizens of this republic Is to
teach them to respect the laws gov
erning their schools. Where two or three
laW-break1ng pupils are operating in a
schoolroom they should be Immediately
removed and sent to a place where they
can be dealt with. I have been a. teacher
myself and know what a nervous strain
our teachers are working under and ]
know they would experience a blessed
relief If they could be helped In this
manner. Let us uphold our teachers and
respect the fruits of wholesome sensi-
BILE kind of discipline for the sake OF
the permanent good it will result in our
children. "A Mother of Experience(

SHOULD TIE THEIR HORSES
Careless Drivers Apt to Cause Repetition
of Thursdays Tragedy.

To the Editor Of The Journal. "a 81.
The awful accident of Thursday even
ing thru which Mrs. H, L. Woltmann lost
her life, serves to call attention to the
fact that many drivers are extremely
careless in leaving their horses unhitched
on the streets. This practice is the cause
of a great many accidents, but little or
no effort is made to reduce the danger,
altho the laws cover the subject amply.
Section "a Of the ordinance prohibiting
unlawful practices on the streets ex-
pressly provides that no person shall per-
NIT any horse under his control to stand
in any public street or alley unless the
same is in charge Of some suitable per-
son or is securely fastened or hitched
The maximum penalty for violation Of
this ordinance is a fine Of $50 or impris-
onment for sixty days.
Altho this ordinance has been on the
books for many years it is rarely en-.
forced Some years ago the police made
q crusade against standing horses in ths
street without hitching and many arrests
were made but that crusade has beer
forgotten in recent years. --
Nearly every carriage or wagon in thu
city carries weight which is snapped tt
the bit when the driver finds It r,eces
sary to leave%the horseSf ort any length O.
time. While this is intended as a com
| pAance win the law the weight is Otter
of: little benefit. Competent lawyers agre
that hitching with weight does not com
ply with the language Of the ORDINANCE
which commands that horses be ''securel

Still weight Is much better than moth

he Made Christmas Shopping Pleasant
for One Girl.
To the Editor Of The Journal.
A little incident in shopping appealed
to me quite forcibly the other day when
purchased In a local store a Christmas
calendar to send to a girl friend as a
remembrance of pleasant days spent to-
gether in holiday seasons gone by. The
calendar was very pretty, and l thought
1t happy chance that was obliged to
pay only 40 cents for gift so dainty
The clerk handed 1t to me in a manila
envelop in which the calendar did not fit,
and expected to purchase another some-
where in which I might enclose 1t for
mailing, The fact that the house did
not furnish one did not surprise me, and
I did not for q moment think Of request
ing this addition to my purchase.
Just as I was turning away from the
counter the proprietor Of the store, who
happened by, stopped me, explained that
their supply of envelops which should
accompany these calendars had been ex-
hausted. and insisted upon taking my
address in order that he might send me
one as soon as more were received.
protested that it was a great deal OF
trouble for the house to bother about
sending me this, and said that possibly
could get one from stationery store
which would serve the purpose.
The following day there was brought
to me an envelop of excellent quality and
of buff color matching exactly the cal
endar purchased, Whoever wrapped II
took great pains to enclose a stiff card
board in order that it might not be bent
The premptness Of the delivery was sur
prising, to say nothing Of the courtesy
in sending it to me unsolicited.
Christmas shopping under such condi-
tons becomes pleasure, and am truly
glad that it is possible to find now and
then so much. courtesy and attention t.
the little things. It adds. to the Christi

70 the Editor of The Journal
Please give me a small portion Of your
valuable space to present few argu-
ments in line with the proposed installa-
ton of an implement factory in the Min
nesota state prison. A bill providing for
the establishment Of this industry in the
Saltwater penitentiary was killed by the
retail implement dealers last year, and I
congratulate them on their triumph.
Nevertheless I agree that it is necessary
to find something more for our convicts
to do; something that will give them
valuable training and at the same time
pay it's own expenses. A friend has sug-
gested that the heavy machinery, such
as township and city governments are
compelled to buy be manufactured in the
prison. This stuff is not handled by re-
tail implement men and therefore can
not wreak the hardship upon them caused
by the binder twine industry AT the
same! time the state would be the means
of saving the public thousands of dol
lars by selling these grading machines,
