NO@LAZY'' CHILDREN
THEY ARE EITHER ILL OR POOR
LY NOURIsHED.
New Scientific Pedagoglcs Declares
the Normal Child Is Interested,
Alert, Bright Minded and
Full Of Physical Vivacity.

In many ways the, world is growing
less cruel. For this we must largely
thank the scientific spirit which is
daily recognizing more and more of
the affairs of life which belong to its
department. 1t is coming into fashion
not to kick the man who is down, but
to call a committee to inquire into
why he is down and that leads natu-
rally to helping him up. The lev
method is to be welcomed most of all
as 1t bears upon the destinies of little
children.
longer divides children summarily into
good and bad, stupid and clever. On
the contrary, 1t takes close cognizance
Of the wonderful relation between
mind and body. stomach and brain
and learns thereby that persons, and
above all children, are much more nat
urally divided into the sick or the
we'll, the hungry or the fed, the weak
or the strong.

been made, with significant results.
One fact proved by them is that there
is no such thing as a "lazy" child. The
normal child is interested, alert, bright
minded. full Of waking ~curiosities
about the world into which he has
come and endowed with an almost un-
quenchable physical vivacity. What,
then is the matter with the little, in
ert, stupid. dull-eyed creatures for
ver at the bottom of the class, who
never put a question or seem to pass
q given point?
The matter is that they are Ill.
Some Of them are hungry, and it is as
hopeless to expect a child to study
well when he needs food as it would
be to expect a fire that needs fuel to
burn we'll. The hunger may be due
to an actual lack of food or it may
be that the teeth are in such poor con-
dition that the child cannot chew and
therefore does not digest. Or 1t may
be that the food offered to it at home
is entirely unsuited to its needs.

Many of them have never drawn one

recent Investigations made by a
French physician show that among

among the poorly nourished over sc

C. "MILKED" STATE
ANNUAL STATE INCOME FROM
ROAD is INCREASED.
Under Courts Ruling Illinois in Fut
ure Will Receive 100000 a
Year From Road.

Springfield, Ill.-In deciding on the
demurrer of the Illinois Central Rail
road Company to the suit of the state
of Illinois to collect back taxes from
the railroad, the supreme court ruled
in favor of the state in all but one
point.
The court holds that the charter
agreement of 1851, under which the
railroad was to pay the state Z per
CEN of it's gross earnings, is a con-
tract, and that the Z per cent is not a
tax in the legal sense. The court holds
that all interstate commerce business
of the road, as well as income from
eating houses, express business OF
charter lines as we'll as of trunk lines
form the principle on which the 7 per
CEN shall be paid to the state.
Under this ruling the $15,O0O,O00
which the state sought from the I'LL
nois Central, dwindles, roughly esti-
mated, to about $1,000,000.
From 1905 the court lays down the
rule for accounting by which the state,
it is estimated, will receive $1,000, 900
revenue annually from the road, in
stead of $1,000,000 OF less, as at pres
ent.
1t is the contention Of Gov Deneen
that for thirty-three years the rail-
road has been milking" the state
through its system of accounting for
gross earnings, on which 1t is requir.
ed, under its charter, to pay Z per
cent to the state in lieu of other taxes

SPECTACULAR FLIGHT
CHlCAGOAN CIRCLES STATUE OF
LIBERTY AT 5000 FEET.
Beats White and De Lesseps-Used a
BIieriot He Had Purchased
Ten Minutes Before.

New York.-John B. Moisant, an
American, the same man who flew
from Paris to London, Sunday after
nOon was the victor in the most per.
ilous and spectacular %aeroplant race
known to the annals of aviation.
Dashing at more than a mile q
minute speed from Belmont Park to
the Statue of Liberty in New York
harbor and back again tu Belmont
Park, a distance of thirty-three miles
as the crow flies, but thirty-five miles,
including the extra mileage covered in
the turns at both ends, the daring,
brown-skinned little American won
over Count de Lesseps, the French
aviator, and Claude Grahame-White,
the English champion, by a margin OF
fOrty-fve seconds.
What makes Moisant's victory one
of the most extraordinary aerial feats
ever performed is the fact that he
flew in a machine which he had never
driven before and which he had pur-
chased only ten minutes before he
set out on his wonderful cross-country
journey. And what is considered more
remarkable still by aviators is the fact
that the dauntless little sailor steered
over the eleven miles of Broklyn's
most populous sections with it's miles
of residences, factories, tall buildings
and church spires, as well as narrow
streets, solely by the aid of a COM
pass.

NEW CROP TO EXCEED LAST
Later Frost Than Expected Raises
Former Cotton Estimates.

New Orleans, lathe Picayune in
it's report on the condition of the cot
ton crop in Louisiana and Mississippi,
says:
Nov that the first heavy frost Of
the season has occurred and in many
places the first freeze, the work OF
accurately estimating the cotton crop
will 500 be begun. The crop, it is
conceded, will be somewhat larger
than was anticipated some months
ago, when it was thought that frost
would occur earlier and put a stop
to the maturing of the crop. While it
seems that the crop ranges from 25
to so per cent. below normal, it will
still exceed that of last year in all
probability"

Is Frisco Census Padded?

the census office has held up the San
Francisco census, in order to investi-

the part of some enumerators, who
have great pride in seeing their city
come to the front with a big showing
of population. 1t is said that these
enumerators padded ships passenger
lists and counted them as permanent
population. In 1900 the population OF
San Francisco was 342,782, showing .
gain of 14.6 per cent. in ten years.

The candle shades may be studded with little stars. and the place cards be cut in star shape.
