ScOlA1ng Reform.

It IL accepted as a truism among ed
ucators that no child can be made per
manently good by simply scolding. The
overscolded child Is made worse by the
process. and the overscolded politician
Is likely to deteriorate, and for the
same reason. Even a good dog will
try to earn a bad name II he has 1t
thrust too often upon him. Probably
It would be an exaggerated statement
to say that the essential spirit Of re-

the scolding parent, but it resembles

where a pavement is used which needs
constant repairs.
The heavy cost of repairing and
keeping asphalt streets in repair Is the
greatest objection to that kind OF
streets, and it is an item of expense
that has been given a great amount
of thought by the city. A year or so
ago the city purchased an asphalt
plant of it's own, and since then 1T has
cost less to repair the streets. but
still it costs about thousand dollars
la mile per year. In a smaller place
where there is but one or two asphalt
streets the city could not afford to
maintain a plant of its own.

What 1t 10 Worth.

'Many subjects in the high school
course are not inherently interesting
to children. The chief thing is the
proper Introduction. A school course
is worth SO day to a boy. But sew
en-eighths OF the boys do not go
through high school. The hope of the
country is in cities the size of Rich
mond. Select your mayors and coun-
cilmen from your school graduates.
Do not take them from the mass at
large. The schools must be made to
improve the children and to do this
they must be made to meet conditions
as they exist.
In his lecture to the teachers, DR..
Kinnaman this morning talked on
ounce OF prevention being worth
pound of cure. He said the chief sub
ject must be how to avoid transgree-
sion, not how to punish the transgres-
sor. He said more effort must be put
forth on how to train the youngsters
not to need correction, than to learn
how to punish them.
"You have saloons and other places
OF evil open to your children. the
speaker said. "Then you have to
have police to arrest them and laws
to punish them. Why not get rid OF
the temptations and remedy matters
in this way, rather than learn how to
inflict punishment for the transgres.
sors?''
DR.. Kinnaman suggested a commu.
nifty of interest as the solution. He
said in the school, the thing to do is
to induce every child to see he has a
part of his own to>play. He must feel
an interest in the school. The teacher
must be the same way. A close rela.
tionship must exist between all.

Told Things to Teachers.
Yesterday afternoon DR.. Kinnaman,
the institute lecturer took a fling at
the introduction of Latin and other
foreign languages in the rural schools.
He ridiculed the idea of this method
of teaching. He said, tell the children
something they may expect to be OF
some benefit to them.
He also took up the subject Of SAM
tation and disease. He lambasted the
house fly saying it is the worst enemy
of man. He declared the bedbug is
gentleman as compared to the fly.
He told how the feet of the creature
carry disease and infection OF all
kinds. He charged flies with being
responsible for typhoid fever

LeavenWorth. KAN Aug. 31.-Ac-
cording to records of patients kept by
the medical staff at the federal prison,
the history of the hospital and the
hospital annex has been very credit
able one. Statistics kept by DR.. A F.
Yohe and his assistants show only
five-sevenths of 1 per cent of deaths
out of a total of TOO bedrfdden patients
cared for at the hospital during the
past year.
Since January 9, 1909. there have
been tWenty-Seven deaths at the
prison. two of these were the results
of accidents. Sixteen deaths were due
to tuberculosis. This is a better rec
ord than that of the Minnesota state
penitentfary at saltwater, the location
of which is said to be the most sani-
tary of any penitentiary in the country.
Particular attention is given the
prisoners affected with tuberculosis.
Especial care is exercised in sell citing
the food for the tuberculosis patients
They are given chiefly such foods as
eggs. Irish potatoes. beef and milk
The patients are kept in the open air
and sunlight as much as possible This
vigilance and care shows results of
most encouraging nature.

cred to be affected with tuberculosis.
He was taken to the hospital and given

entered the hospital he weighed 125
pounds When discharged a month
later he weighed 157 pounds and was
in excellent physical condition Many
cases have been treated with similar
results.
