 was proceeding. He wanted to know If the amendments were being offered for the purpose of delaying the pro- gress of the bill. It looked to him, he said, as though some one might be trying to delay matters. There were several other revenue bills to come up, and there might be such a thing contemplated as the delay of some of them until after recess.
 Mir. Hoffman was on his feet in a l moment, resenting the imputations of the gentleman from Montgomery. He resented the statement which, ne said was not only unfair to those who were offering amendments in entire good faith, but bordering on being un- parliamentary.
 Mir. Tunstall of Hale spoke In fa- vor of the Hoffman amendment. It would, he pointed out, add to the vol- ume of property to be taxed, and would be in that manner a distinct element of strength to the bill. He had not investigated the matter close Iy, but if the gentleman from Mobile was correct in his statement that some such action was necessary to get the cotton mills on the assessment rolls for the current year, which he was in- clined to believe the amendment was q FSAS tAhpOI ldHI One. ID Id1l 10 dQOpt 1t would, In effect, be to extend the period of exemption for the cotton factories from ten to eleven years. In any event the amendment would affect no other portion of the bill, be- ing very plain and simple. and could do no harm.
 Vote is 4s to 3I.
 Mir. John of Jefferson seemed to have tired of the discussion. and moved the nFAViOMR dtIaGfinn h1 This being ordered, the vote was taken. and the amendment adopted by a vote of 4S to S1. as follows:

 As soon as the result had been an- nounced. other amendments. of a minor nature, were proposed. first to one sec tfon of the bill and then to another Several were defeated but others were adopted.

 HOfTman's Motion Defeated.
 Mir. Kornegay of Dallas opposed the mo ion to go into committee of the whole. believing the measure could De considered properly in the House itself
 The question reverted to MT. Hoff- mans motion to go into committee Of the whole, which was defeated by vote of I3 to 61. The affirmative votes were cast by Messrs. Ballard or Au- tauga, Ballard of Pike, Coleman of Lowndes, Cranford, Gunter, Hoffman. Lancaster, Parker. Pitts of Dallas. Price, Scale, Tunstall and Urquhart.
 The first of the revenue measures, House Bill No. 610, was then taken up and two or three amendments of minor character were proposed. One was adopted, and the o hers were rejected, as the friends of the measure suggested.
 An amendment proposed by Mr. Kirby of Madison, providing that traveiing vendors of sewing machines. stoves, musical instruments, vehicles. etc, should be required to pay a license tax m distribu ing or displaying such ar- ticles. resulted in a great deal of de- bate. The amendment was tabled by vote of 30 to 2S.
 After an hour had been spent discus- sing a minor amendment proposed by MT. Maner of the Ways and Means Com~ mittee and adopted. the vo.e os adop- ton was recons.dered, on motion of Mr. runstall of Hale, and the amendment tabled. .-.e

you a summary of the interpretation of child character. arrived at by some of the most notable students of this sub- ject.
 Tn the new born child. all the eie- ments of the future man are present In germ, but education decides which fac tors are to grow and. which are to atrophy. In the first years of life, growth of all parts of the body Is far more rapid than at any other time. and educational, that Is. environmental. in- fluences are most rotent."
 Mrs. Matlock, in recommending care of the physical child. said:
 'The connection between a sound mind and a sound body is so close that it Is of great importance for all who have charge of children to know some of the common symptoms of disease. Often children are considered stuf i'd, obstinate and bad, who are only par tiai1y deaf or blind and others are sup posed to be fnnate,y wicked or lazy. who are suffering from some form of nervous deraneement We wish to sharpen our eyes to see wrong condi- tions so that they may be speedily re- lieved ard yet we must guard against expecting to find imperfections and ail- ments in children The mental atmos- phere surrounding the child has much to do in determining his mental and hysical condition"
 Tn speaking of the advisabiIity of forming habits of roral thoueht and action early in life. Mrs. Mat,ock said: Tt is unpardonable for parents so to neglect child that when he Is 12 or IA years old he has to spend his time learning regular habits of eating. hah- It's of cleanliness-all those. habits which re''eve him of constant thought of his bodily wants and make social intercourse easy The boy of this ase has before him the more important task of forming habits of moral thought and action. He Is rhan'ns his ideal of character. and he ought not to have to struggle constantly over these iit- tie things which small child learns SO easily. It Is one of the important tasks of parents. therefore. to see to It that the little child grows insensiblv in- to good habits of taking care of hts hodv. and Into the social habit of con- sider'ng others equally with himself. |"
 Speaking of religious education, Mrs. Mat'ock said:
 "Dr. Hall saws. Tt must begin in the cradle with the feelings of love and gratitude toward the mothar who stands then in the rlace of God. Rev erence. obedience, and the whole list
