CONGRESSMAN WHIPS FOUR
DEPARTMENT STORE CLERKS

Washington, d. C.-Representative
Charles ID. Carter of Oklahoma Gre
ated a furry of excitement in fash
ionable f street and incidentally gave
a severe drubbing to four clerks in
a department score, whom he ac-
cused of insulting his pretty 1S-year-
old daughter, Miss Italy Carter.
The Oklahoma congressman, who
is seven-sixteenth Indian put n of
the clerks completely out of COM
mission with his fists and later put

the rescue of their associate, to route

and uplifting standards OF conduct be-
fore the child.
Ideals exert the most powerful in
fluence for righteousness on children
when they play. Ideals exert a pow
erful effect on the formation of char
aoter. The man or influence that con-
trolls the ideals of children at play
helps to decide what their character
shall be.
The games hat educate the child
best also interest it most. They are
both social and competitive, and COM
petition and social relations are fea-
lures of all its after life. Their in
fluence on him through his play
shapes his nature as a person n his
usefulness to society. 1.-THE soul Of
the child in his play" as wise old
Plato put it, should be guided to the
love of that sort of excellence in
which, when he has grown to man.

No all of education is acquired in
the schools. They are far from be-
ing the sole teachers, says a Spokane
paper.
Emerson perceived this fact. He
remarked that we send our children
10 the schools to be taught Roman
history or English literature, but that
il is the boys and girls on the play
ground who educate them.
The sage of Concord discerned that
play constitutes the largest and most
Tital factor in the real and funda-
mental education of the child. But the
scant provision made for play by the
schools would seem to suggest that
only a saving remnant realizes the
truth articulated by Froebel and ap-
Treciated by Emerson.
Education chiefly consists in draw
ing out the latent powers, moral as
we'll as mental, locked up and stored
away within the child. Play draws
cut these faculties and the real life of
the child as does no other agency. Its
susceptibility to suggestion and its in
stinct for imitation stimulates it's self
expression. The power of unconscious
suggestion from games and playmates
may be utilized to strengthen the
mental faculties and to set up strong

SHAVE THE CATS.

The Kansas State Board of Health,
realizing hat "the fur of the domestic
cat is a harbor for germs" and that
cats bring disease to children, sug-
gests that 1.-The domestic cat should
be shaved" DIR. Deacon of the
Kansas state Board of Health, issues
this order:
shave the cats. Keep their hair
short, just as you would hat of a
horse or dog. If this is Toe much
trouble, kill them, for they are not
worth much, anyhow"
Cats are sensitive, modest animals
says a San Francisco paper. 1t would
hurt their feelings to shave them. And
they would probably catch cold.
1t would do no good to keep the
hair short. For the disease germ is
much shorter than the shortest hair.
And whether the cat brought home
five million disease germs in hair
three inches long or two and a half
half long would not make much diff
ference.
1t would be necessary to shave the
cats until they should be more hairless
than the hairless Mexican dogs and
then disinfect them on their return
home after each journey in order to
make them safe as playthings for
children.
And it would be necessary to shave
them almost every day, as the hair
would keep growing.
We are glad that the Kansas Health
Board realizes, as do the Boards of
Health of New York, Chicago and
Boston and many other cities, that it
is a crime to have young children
playing with cats. D%iphtheria is dis
'tributed by cats mere than by any
other agency, just as the bubonic
plague is distributed by rats, the well
low fever and malaria by mosquitoes
and the sleeping sickness by the tse-
tse fly.
The friends of the cats defend
them on the ground hat they kill
rats and mice. 1t is a poor defense.
The cat will kill rats and mice only
as long as you keep the cat hungry.
A cat properly fed may occasionally
play with a mouse if it is not too
much trouble. But the well-fed cat
won't bother rats at all. And the
friends of cats ought to be the last to
suggest keeping them h~alf-starved
in order to make hunters of them.

OLYMPIC RULES REVISED
BY SWEDISH OFFICIALS

NEW YORK. June 10.--The Anna
teur Athletic Union headquarters has
received Welcome news from Profess
sor Sloane, the American Olympic
representative abroad In the shape
of several changes In the rules which
govern the big International games
Best OF all Is the assurance from
the Swedish Olympic authorities that
as far as possible crack athletes hall
ing from the same country will not be
thrown together In the same heat az
they were at the London games in
1908.
This practice, which was directly
aimed at the Americans at the Brit
ish meet materially reduced the
point score of the Yankee team. A
notable example was when Sheppard
and Halsted were forced to race each
other in one of the preliminary heats
Of the 1900 metre race, while each
