WAKENS MOTHER INSTINCT
kindergartens Teach Girl Scholars to
Regard Dolls as Children

ITO begin the training of the future
mothers of the race at the right
n period you must take them at the
doll stage and use the dolls as a
medium. This is the novel idea that
has been carried into practice by lead
ers in the world of women. The idea
originated in this way:
One day a woman who thinks and
who utilizes the result of such think
ing in trying to better humanity came
across a very small specimen of fem
ininity who was filling the air with
shrill seedlings. The object of her wrath
was a dilapidated doll that lay back
In a ricketycarriag staring at its
owner with open-eyed wonder. The
shrin cries of the child proceeded some
thing like this;
How many times am I to tell you
that you must not sit in that fashion.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-03

Now don't loll. Straighten your back
and hold your head up. No, not like
that Oh, dear, will this child ever do
what 1 want it to do? I'm so tired of
telling you. In a minute l shall lose
patience and give you a whipping. You
deserve it, too. There never was
child like you. Look at your hat all
pulled out of shape. When did you
wash your hands last? Now you go
straight to bed and stay there"
The doll didn't seem to care and the
child appeared to be enjoying herself
hugely as she slapped and snapped at
the helpless occupant of the carriage.
But the woman who thinks found no
humor at all in the episode. 1t was
entirely too obvious that the little girls
shrill TRADE was merely the echo of
the method employed at home to bring
her up in the way she was supposed
to go.
"If this is the way the little girls
mother their dolls, it Is the way they
will mother their children later in life,
unless steps are taken to prevent it."
This was the line of thought sug-
gested by the seedlings of the child
with the doll and it led to an expert
ment that is finding great favor with
kindergarten teachers in this city. 1t
is suggested that it should be adopted
by all mothers of little girls. Instead
of regarding the doll merely as play
thing it should be used as a means or

Outcome Of the Investigation By TIE
legal department viii probably ha
an actioH, in court to determine the
rlsnt OF the state to lease iands ON
which the timber has been sold to
lumber companies, to sheen men for
grazing purposes. the same as other
state lands are being leased.
Inc same question was raixed
during the Morrison administrators
Dy special Agent Hit. who reported
the matter to the land board. which
however. dropped the matter without
taking any action to determine the
states rights to lease such lands for
grazing purposes. The leasing OF
land was comparatively new at that
tlme' however, and very little of the
state lands had been leased for graz
ing purposes. the majority OF the
leases being for agricultural pur-
poses. The Importance OF the rev.
enue from such lands has increased
materially in the past few years, ow-
Ing to the rapid development and set
Element Of the state, so that 1t is
probable that the question will be
settled this time.
Many Acres OF Land Leased.
Within the past two years.
through the efforts OF State Land
Commissioner George A. Day. the
state has obtained over $4,000
In revenue from rentals for grazing
lands. Since the first of the present
year approximately 2OO,O acres Of
state lands have been leased for
grazing purposes. Special attention
has been devoted to leasing state
lands by the commissioner, and as a
result thousands OF acres of land ON
hillsides and valleys now bring the
state an annual revenue. The leases
are made for Ave years at ave to ten
cents per acre, the funds derived
from the same being devoted to up
building the schools OF the state. The
plan Of leasing state lands for graz
ing purposes has proved very salts
factory to the sheep men as well as
the state, the sheep men being pro-
tected by the lease from the state
and not having to contend with other
sheep men for the grazing lands dur
Ing the period covered by the lease.
The lasing of state lands has proved
even more satisfactory than that of
grazing in the forest reserve, the
sheep men being compelled to abide
by the regulations of the forestry
Oflcials, while with a lease from the
state they are in position to make
their own regulations. Objection
has been made by the sheep men
from time to time when the state
endeavOred to bring state lands on
which sheep were grazing without
rental being paid for lease or use Of
the land, under the lease system. but
In practically every instance this has
been overcome.
