Chamberlain has resigned his position
as head of farmers institute interests
of this state. This will be regretted
by majority of our readers, especially
among the farmers, for under his
direction the farmers institute has
developed from little more than joke
to one of the principle practical educa-
tional institutions of the state. To no
man can be attributed this success as
to Superintendent Chamberlain. His
aggressive and untiring efforts for the
betterment of farm methods and farm

friends in the state will wish him
abundant success and prosperity wher-
ever his lot in future may be cast.

SIGNS INCOME TAX MEASURE
Gov. McGovern Upholds New Law
and Says Provisions Will Bring
Relief Rather Than a Burden.

Madison. - Gov. McGovern has
signed the income tax bill and de-
posted it with Secretary of State
Frear and it now becomes law
Immediately upon its publication
though not effective until next year.
In statement regarding the bill
Gov. McGovern seeks to correct mis-
conceptions regarding the measure
and to invite its favorable reception.
1t is a relief, rather than a burden,
he says, being a substitute for the
personal property tax which has
failed, and he sees no reason why it
should drive capital from the state.
The net proceeds of the tax will all
go for the support of local govern
ment when the cost of administration
has been deducted.

TRAINING THE CHILD MIND
important Thing Is Quietly to Point
Out to Little Ones Their
lmperfections.

My youngest child is a very sensi-
tive little fellow, throwing himself
with complete abandon into every
thing he does, and 80 eager to make
an impression when he speaks that
he shouts everything he says. After
much consideration there came to me
an idea Of way to correct this, So,
as reply to a remark he made, l
asked, pitching my voice on the same
key that he had used, and raising it
to the same degree of loudness:
What makes you scream so when
you talk?"
Quick as fash, he answered:
why, 1 don't scream, do l, mother?'
And it was true for that time, for
he had brought his voice down, in
replying, to a well-modulated tone.
This question and answer were
many times repeated between us in
the same way, with the result OF a
marked improvement on his part.
l have thought since that l stumbled
upon an important principle in child
training, to show children in varying
methods, as by a mirror, exactly what
their fault Is. For children love the
good; they have their standards OF
what is right and fitting that develop
as fast as their limited knowledge
will permit.
What Plato said of men applies to
little men and women, too: Man
holds to the good and will not know
ingly or willingly be deprived of it. b"
They only need to have the good
clearly presented to them so they can
recognize It. 1t is not fair to them
to assume that they are perverse,
when probably the trouble simply is
that they have not yet had sufficient
chance to see the difference between
right and wrong -Harpers Bazaar.
