TAFT COMES FROM GOOD STOCK
Family Ranked Among the Plain
People for Many Years.


The Ta.ts-thosc vino ut present are
the Tafts-hail uncestrally from Cs-
bridge iiass. They say that Tatts are
50 thick in uxbridse that even a won-
an can't throw stune without hlttins
one.
Sona years uSo-in 1874, to be exact
there was Il Taft reunion i'll Tx
bridge. to which descendants of The
original Robert Taft came Hooking
the cuusWcuous features of the affair
was historical address by AlploHso
Taft. father # the present Republican
candidate. lie traced the history Of
various branches Of the family. and
when lie came TO the one to which he
and his children belonged he SAID:
Our family have not embarked much
upon national politics, except that they
have SHARED In the battles of the cOun-
try when national independence was
to be won, and also when the Union
was at stake. But brilliant political
careers have MOI been characteristir of
the Tafts in the past, 1t is not safe 10
say what may be in store for them
There is IL tide in the affairs of men
and also of families
This is taken from the account of
the reunion published at the time. Al
phonso Taft would perhaps have been
somewhat dazziod if he could have fore
seen how quickly and brilliantly the
family would proceed TO embark upon
national politics. lie himself started
the turn or tne tide which he predict
ed. 1t seems TO be reaching its Hood
( in the c;rrerr Of the son who that year
was entering Yale.

son got certain characteristics. Peter

La lara School Notes.

The sixth year arithmetic class,
in charge of Mrs. Alexander, is
making good progress with the
work in fractions.
The basket ball team of the
Stake Academy is getting in readi-
ness for the coming season. An
effort will be made to arrange Il
schedule of games with La lara
The attendance has SO far been
good. The parents should CO.
operate with the teachers and
board and remove so far as posi-
BILE the danger of lack of interest
caused by Indifference in this mat
ter.
Does the school training make a
child what he becomes in after
life? Hardly. Ratqer it develops
what is already in him and shows
him the pruper way to take advan-
tage of his opportunities and the
correct method of employing his
talents.
Many and various are the ideas
concerning the amount of work
the child can accomplish and the
amount which he should do at
school or in the home. The child's
capacity increases or should in
crease with development and this
thought should be placed before
him at all times.
1t might be well to aim to make
the La Jara public school the best
in Conejos county. There is moth
ing which attracts the possible
settler more than the thought that
he will be located in a community
where the education of his children
shall be fostered to the greatest
possible extent.
The inside appearance of the
school house is different from that
of last year Every room has been
papered and the consequent en-.
viroument is good. Character is a
resultant of three factors, heridity
environment and will-power. The
school environment is not without
its influence upon the future OF
the child.
There are many things which
arise to disturb the peace of the
school room. The parent is often
given an account which might
differ from the actual occurrence
And why? Because, there is oft.

Christian Science does not antag-

discriminate between so-called cur
able and incurable diseases.
The Christian Scientists rely sole
ly UPON THEIR UNDERSTANDING
OF GOD AS THE SAVING TRUTH

But the new teaching is at least
partial Acknowledgement of the
command of the Saviour, to teach
and heal.
In that far Il Is an acknowledge
ment of the contention of the Chris
'tlan Scientists, that the gospel was
for the salvation of all from sickness
and disease as well as from sins.
