M. Rendu is heart and soul with DR..
Bertillon and tells me that he is agitat-
ing to secure a diminution of taxation
In proportion to the number of a fam
lily. For instance, as taxation may be
reckoncd at about one-tenth of income,
he would tighten the burden of pater-
families by as many tenths as he has
children. and, more than this, would
grant dfSpensation from military
service to one out of three sons. He
points out that in Belgium bonuses are
annually given by the Countess of
| Flanders and the court to mothers of
| large families, and thinks that this cx-
| ample might be followed with advau-
| tage In France. SO. too. the heads OF
] industrial and business undertakings

Der of their children. other things be-
ing equal NJ Rendu points out that
it is the father of a numerous family

pays most taxes. As taxation is cal

ANY man can assail with bitter invec-

fellow voters to save the country from
the wickedness of a few hundred Con-
gressmen. But the local, immediate
salvation which can be secured by the
petty officer In his own community is
a jewel often lost, and requiring the
highest courage to win. The sheriff

Of his dearest neighbor-these men are
the bravest of patriots, the most potent

1t Is not every one who proves the in

years of age; that is why a youngsters
experience. as the Louisville Courier
Journal records 1t, seems remarkable
enough to quote.
The father of the lad, who was about
years old, was a physician, and when
the child found difficulty in getting to
sleep, was ready with advice.
"I'll tell you something that will soon
put you to sleep" he said. "You begin
and count slowly up to one hundred.
and then another hundred, and so OH.
and before you know it you'll be Sleep

Everything remained quiet that night
until the father went to retire. AS he

But the wakeful youngsters query
was not answered; his father had van

President Eliot, in an address before
the Fortnightly Club in Chicago, said
that in the education of children the
old practice was to set before them the
tasks that were hardest for them, but
that the modern method is to give them
the sort of education they desire and In
which they are able to excel. These are
sound ideas and, when properly quail
fed, are of the greatest Importance.
There are two separate principles in
volyed In them-one ia respect 10 the
child's maturity and the other in re-
spect to his mental bent. Every one
will admit that the human mind passes
from concrete to abstract ideas, and
that the power Of abstract thinking
hardly belongs to childhood at all. 1t
is clear, therefore, that the imposition
OF abstract studies on young children
Is not only useless but discouraging and
hurtful. English grammar is type Of
this kind Of study. A celebrated pro-
fessor In a Southern university used to
lecture a month every year ON the dis
tinction between noun and verb.
Certainly the discrimination between
the parts of speech and the different
moods and lenses of the verb is per.
formance for which very few adults are
prepared. Yet this was formerly one
OF the first studies taken up in the pri.
mary schools Just as bad Is the prac-
tice. wherever 1t exists, of ignoring the
bent Of child's mind. His mind ma y
be that of mechanic, mathematician,
n naturalist, historian, poet or a
physicist. President Eliot says the
modern practice Is to take advantage of
this bent, whatever it may be. And 1t
Is to be hoped that this is the practice.
President Eliot no doubt believes that
these principles can be followed without
total or even an injurious neglect OF
mental discipline. A child's powers
ought to be called into play as fast as
they develop, and certainly at some
stage he must be required to make a
mental effort which goes against the
grain. Otherwise he will be unueces-
sarily narrow minded and poorly edu-
Gated. But the leading idea in the edu-
cation of children should be that due
regard must be paid to their stage of
development and their peculiar talents
and bent of mind.

The Colony Plan.


If you want vigorous chickens and
hens that lay do not overcrowd them.
Forty or fifty in one flock are suffi-
cient. If you have more than this num-
Der by all means make change, for
your chickens are probably costing you
more than they are worth. If you do
not care to sell any Of your birds then
start into the chicken business on the
colony plan. Divide your flock into
colonies Of about forty fowls each and
build houses for them in different parts
of the farm. For instance, if you have
one hen house on the east side of the
barn, put another house on the west
side. Then if you have enough birds
put another house down by the calf lot
and another to the farther end of the
barn yard. A dozen different places will
suggest themselves If you look for To-
cations on your farm. If you have
made failure in raising chickens or
your hens don't amount to much"
try this method. 1t will surprise and
please you. Your hens will be healthier,
will lay better and will require less
feed. The reason for this will be easily
seen when you have once tried it.
Chickens, or anything else for that mat
ter, cannot stand. crowding. Also the
colony plan gives the fowls wider range
and encourages the birds to hunt for
their living. Exchange.
