One of the Most Helpful Addresses
Of the Convention Was Delivered
at The Closing
Session
STATEMENTS UPHELD
Or. o'shea of the University of Wis
consin Told of Child Development
and its Relation to Flu.
ture Civilization.

The civilization of the world is in
danger of decline due to the influences
of the city was the statement made
by DIR. NJ v. O'Shea of the depart
ment OF education of the University of
Wisconsin in his talk before the
teachers convention Saturday morn
ing. DR.. O'Shea had a message to
give to the teachers and parents and
he gave it in clear business like
manner. supporting his statement by
the liberal use of charts and letter
The Trend of the Teens was the
subject and in it many points were
| brought out that will be of great bene-
fit to all educators of children DR..
O'Shea showed by his charts that in
religious matters it was during the
growth of the child up to manhood and
womanhood that all impressions were
made. Rarely after person had re-
ceived their growth was any kind of
a radical change affected He. said
that even the savages realized that
it was during the period of Adde'S
cence that all lasting Impressions
were made and they acted accord
ingly.
By means of charts DR.. o'shea
showed the respective development of
the boy and the girl. The girl be-
gins to develop into woman a icoupie
of years before her playmates among
the boys begin to develop into men,
and the growth of a girl is completed
a couple of years earlier than in the
boy The change is more rapid in the
girl than in the boy This period of
growth is usually called the awkward
age and it is in this time that the
greatest harm or greatest good can
be accomplished for the child's char
acter.

A Reliable Mediclne-Not a Narcotl

A Reliable Medicine-Not a Narcotic.
Mrs. F. Marti, St Joe. Mich, says:
Our little boy contracted severe
bronchial trouble and as the Doctors
medicine did not cure him, | gave
him Foleys Honey and Tar Compound
in which | have great faith. 1t cureo
the cough as well as the choking and
gagging spells, and he got well in a

The Effect of the City.


In turning to our own problem, Dr.
O'Shea stated that we were following
closely on the footsteps of the Ital-
ians and it could be laid at the door
Of the cities. The excitement of the
city life aged the children before
their time. They mature too rapidly
and are not kept in plastic mold as
is the case with the German children
The dance, the moving picture shows,
the traffic, and the excitement for
adults is all shared BY the children
and it is harmful One bright spot in
the cloud was the growth of public
Fairgrounds which allowed the child
to develop without any great inter-
ference from adults
During the adolescence period the
greatest help for growing boy is to
have something living to take care Of
something that would suffer If he did
not look after it every day 1t was in
this matter that the country and
suburban life was in advance of the
city. But DIR. O'Shea stated that too
much work was worse than no work.
The boy should have chance to wan
der about and dream.
When it is noticed that the child is
in the period of adolescence it should
be watched very carefully, not to be
ridiculed or to be made conscious Of
themselves, but SO that the mind can
be filed with the best things OF life.
The stories of the Bible and Of the
I heroes of literature and history at
this time make lasting imprint upon
! the character OF the child
DR. OShea then told Of the many
indications of coming Of this period
They are similar TO nature. The boys
become conscious that the other halt
OF the race are girls and both wish
to attract the attention of the other
4 Cleanliness and dress become the inn
portant matters with both.
4 In closing DR.. OShea stated that the
best of Shakespeare's works dealt
with heroes and heroines in the de
veloping period of their life.

IMPORTANT CASE:
 FROM ALABAMA
CHAIRMAN CLEMENTS OF. IN- TERSTATE COMMERCE IS CON- ING SOUTH TO HEAR TESTI- MONY AGAINST CENTRAL

Washington, February 1.-Two of the most important cases respecting the shipment and eompressing of cotton that ever have been brought before the in terstate commerce commission today were assigned for hearing at Montgom- cry, Ala, beginning on March 3 and at Atlanta, Ga, beginning on March 6.
 The cases are those of the Commer- oial and Industrial association of Union Springs, Ala, against the Central of Georgia railroad and other carriers, and the railroad commission of Alabama against the Central of Georgia railroad and others.
 Both cases affect the rates on the ship ment of cotton from every part of the cotton belt in the south, not only TO points of compression. but to ultimate destinations in thls country and in Eu- rope. The complaipt in the first case al- leges unjust discrimination against cot ton buyers. cotton merchants and com pressers, and the second ayers that un- reasonable and discriminatory regula- tions regarding transportation and com presson. Not only cotton planters and every cotton buyer but every railroad in the cotton belt is interested directly in the adjudication of the cases They are regarded as of so much importance that Judge Clements, chairman of the commission, himself will go south to hear the testimony in them

Mexico City, February 13.-Military

These portable forts have the wooden exterior of theory fort car, ex- cept that they are painted like checker boards so that the port holes are hard to distinguish.

Test Will Be Real

Norfolk, February 13.-The battleship
 Texas will be sent out as a target for
 the ships of the battleship fleet just as
 she would be if she were steaming
 out to face a foe. None of her equip
 ment win be removed and all of her engines and guns will remain in place. It Is possible that the government will direct the Manakins be distributed about ship, the figures being equipped with gauges which will register the amount of pressure developed by the contact of the shells. In this manner the chances for the crew in actual warfare may be determined. The ves- sel probably will leave for the test
 about March 15.

DEFENDS POSTAGE
 RATE INCREASE ON
 ALL ADVERTISING
CONTINUED FROM PAGE D


 ---------~->-->~-----~-- adjustment of charges of transportation upon this basis alone the increase of rates on the more weighty and widely circulated magazines would seem to be justified
 Only Advertising Taxed
 By the proposed law magazines and periodicals insofar as they provide pub- lie information, are left exactly on a par with the newspapers and smaller periodicals, while the increase of rate of 5 cents on the pound attaches only TO those portions of such publications as are devoted to advertising purposes.
 Eco short hauls, as from New York to Washington or Baltimore. margarine publishers invariably patronize the ex- press companies. giving them the full benefit of the carriage of their publica- tions on the only hauls on which the government could receive anything like the proper return for the cost of car riage. while the long hauls across the continent are refused by the express companies and left to the overburdened public malls because the express con- panies will not carry them for a sum approaching the small price charged by the government.
 Various protests were registered today against the proposed increase of rates on second-class mail matter. M H. Mad den Of Chicago. representing typo- graphical union, came to consult with officers of the American Federation of Labor He declared that labor interests. especially printers, pressmen and allied workers, would be affected by the pro- posed legislation.
 w. c. Hollister. also of Chicago, head of committee of seven. representing Q the Ben Franklin club an orpa ni,otior of publishers said that more than 50 900 employees would be affected by the increase of rates.
 Frank Morrison. secretary of the American Federal tion of Labor. said that his organization was "heart and soul In the effort to defeat the bill"
 Clark Opposed
 Representative Champ Clark sent a telegram to a ma gazine publisher today in which he said:
 "Am dead against the increase in postal rates on advertising sections ot magazines. It is unfair. unjust, un. wise. If is a tax on information, q hindrance to education. It will increa sn already the too high cost of living The people will oppose 1t when they understand it.
 Senator Clapp of Minnesota tele- graphed a north western publishing firm which had asked his opinion on the matter that he never had encountered "a measure that seemed so unjust and so fraught with the purpose of de- struction."
 Norman E. Mack of Buffalo, chairman of the democratic national committee telegraphed to publishers here today that the increase in rates would be q great hardship, particularly on readers of popular magazines.
