this year conceeds that this one was
almost. if not equal to, the great Inter

WAS probably the finest lot of cattle,
horses and other live stock on exhibition
at Denver the past week that has ever
been brought together west of Chicago.

Two National confsraness.

The University of Colorado was repre-.
sented this year at two national confer
ences by John B. Phillips of the Depart
ment Of Sociology and Economics The
first meeting was that of the National
Trust Conference in Chicago, conduct
ed in the later part of October under the
auspices of the National Civic Federat-
ion. On account of the Importance of
the subject, THE Relation of the Tariff
to the Trusts many of the most able
men in the country attended. Repres-
entatives of the Government, of corpor-
aoinns and of universities debated and
the question from all points of view. In
its final resolutions the Conference re-
commended to the President and Con-
gress the appointment of a commission
to investigate the conduct of corpor-
ations and report the most efficient met
hods for their regulations
In Columbus, Ohio, November 13, the
session OF the National Conferance on
State and Local Taxation were opened
The delegates consisted of Governors of
differant states state auditors, members
of tax commissions, xnd professions
from various institutions. Professor
Phillips delivered an address upon the
'Habitation Tax" This form of tax
alton though not of late origin has been
proposed as a new source Of revenue and
as a substitute for the general tax on
property,

belp. In a week or two she mas formed
opinions of the characteristics of her
pupils and naturally of their parents.
Meantime from the children discussions
at home, mothers have formulated their
opinions of the teacher.
AT this point what blessed help to
teachers if they could become acquaint-
ed with tho MotheA of that mischevious
boy, that Indifferent girl. etc.
Mothers should early visit the school,
not to flatter, not to criticise but to see
the conditions under which teachers
must labor, and to co operate with the
teacher for the welfare mental. moral,
physical of the pupils.
Mr.. E. G. Cooley. Supt. of Chicagos
public schools says:"It takes four quail.
tiles to visit school courage. devotion
to duty, tact and humility" The teach
81 wonders at any lack of courage on
the part of the mother for SO often it is
she who fears the visit of the parents.
1t is surely an often neglected duty,
certainly if mothers realize that it is a
duty to intelligently visit school, they
will unquestionably rise to meet this
duty.
And tact, that delicate touch that
knows how to praise without tlattery
and mako criticism without harshly
finding fault.
And humility, that rare flower %of
Christian grace . mother visits the
visits the school to air her opinions, to
criticise rather than sympathize = her
room, am sure is better than her com
pany.
Don't visit just on festive day nor
at 30 P. NJ, but go whom teachers and
pupils are at their best, in the morning
or better yet. go and stay all day.
Teachers of this day and age meet in
normals- associations and meetings
of various kinds to be taught the best
methods of instruction - to exchange
ideas of management, etc.
Mothers, too, are awakening all over
the land to a better motherhood. Moth
Srs clubs and associations are being
formed
Magazines for mothers are being pub
lished pages devoted to motherhood
are printed in our leading magazines =
lis sign Of a new era and a good one.
American motherhood should stand for
PFogress. if it means anything = Oh,
that we might have trained mothers as
well as teachers.
Now once more we face the question,
should mothers and teachers meet joint.
ly = say by all means. And to what
purpose = School room sanitation and
appliances. think of the heating sys-
EN- of your very own school house,
neatness of grounds and bui ldings. Don
display false modesty that forbids the
examination of closets, boys as well as
girls, where perhaps your little one is
being initiated into secrets OF vice that
may once and for all poison his mind.
Another great help to mothers and
teachers, and may add a sure pleasure
is to invite your teachers into your home
meet them socially and let your child
ren meet them socially.
Teachers may do much mothers may
do much but the doing may be multi
piled manifold by intelligent co o-opeaa-
ton of teachers and mothers.
