Credit System.

The credit system is one of the
greatest evils that the laboring man
has to contend with. 1t tempts him
with its alluring offers, he eagerly
seizes the deceptive bait, and chains
himself-a slave. He can build a
fine house, or build fancy carriage,
own a new piano like neighboE BIS,
by simply giving his note to be paid
next year, when his crops will per-
haps be better, and the desire over
rules his better judgment. In an
evil hour he allows the trap to be
sprung upon him. With load of in
terest bearing upon him he struggles
on, growing fainter and fainter be-
meath the burden, and when the time
of payment arrives he is no better
able to pay the debt, than he was
the day it was contracted. The in
terest eats into his property like a
corroding cancer, and gradually,
takes everything he can earn above
what is absolutely necessary for his
family. The financial horizon looms
up dark and threatening. An hour
of adversely happens and then the
crash comes. His property is sold
under the hammer at less than half
its value, and he is turned out upon
the cold world, penniless and desti-
tute. In many instances the shock
of transition from affluence to pau
perism is more than his mind can
bear, and he finds relief in suicides S
grave.

HELPING A FELLOW ALONG.

An Australian statesman, visiting
the United States for ideas on the
subject of colonization, found some
thing in California that interested
him. What he found was a commun-
ity of little anders"-individua in
dependence, plain living and high
thinking by cultivating small pieces
of ground near a large city in the
most artistic way, without hired
help, and by adding to that founda-
ton of economic security the grace
full superstructure of advanced social
and intellectual development.
Australia is larger than the United
States and has less than 100000
population, yet already has one city
of 100000, another of 100000, and,
in some districts, less people on the
soil than it had ten years ago. This
traveller from the Antipodes was
struck with the possibility of trans
planting the idea of the little lands"
from America with a view of Joining
the social satisfaction that goes with
life in the midst of numbers to the
security that goes with hold upon
the soil.
Now comes the big, significant diff
ference between the American and
the Australian way of doing things.
The little landers" of California
had to fight their way in face of
poverty, ignorance and prejudice.
The little landers' of Australia
start with the heart, the soul and the
treasury of a nation behind them
an appropriation of $1,000,0OO to be-
gin with and the assurance that as
much more as may be justified by
the demonstration shall be forthcom-
ing hereafter.
Nor is that all. In California
the settler on little lands" needs
about $500 cash capital of his own
to make start on an acre But
in Australia $3.50 will accomplish
the same result, because the land is
leased in perpetuity at 21a per cent
of its unimproved value, while the
government builds the house on ten
year installments, loans 60 per cent
of the amount invested in improve
ments, and S5 per cent of the amount
paid for transportation, for ten years
at per cent interest.
Austrilia is partial to men. In
their welfare and happiness it sees
the best assurance of enduring great
ness.

FOR THE SAKE OF THE NORMAL
CHILD.

Psychology, that is to say, active,
scientific psychology, has of late de-
veloped a serious concern with ref
erence to the child in school. The
purpose is to determine the sub-nor-
tain what it is that makes the former
lag. In this lies the discovery of
physically defective children, which
is not necessarily psychological, and
the wedding out of the feebleminded
from among the others, for the rea-
son that the mingling of the two is
detrimental to both.
We have not concerned ourselves
with this line of school activity in
this city, possibly because we have
never given thought to the matter.
But in many other cities it is fast
becoming recognized as part and
parcel of scientific school admins
tration, and the further it develops
the more practical and beneficial it's
adoption appears to be.
The chief change in the admins
trative scheme of the schools which
modern psychology has begun to
work and proposes to amplify, is the
segregation of the underrate chill
dren, so that they may not be a drag
to the mental advancement or a men
| ace to the moral welfare of the 9TH
ers. The psychologist illustrates this
point by calling attention to what
is palpable school fact, namely,
that the presence of one or two de-
fective children in a room works un-
told mischief upon the other pupils
and imposes an unnecessary burden
upon the teacher. The general plan
where psychology has obtained a
practical working foothold is to es-
tablish a sort of clearing room or
| school where the laggard may be
studied and helped along, if possible,
in scientific fashion.
To many very practical people all
this may read great deal like fuss
and folderol. But in Chicago, Roch-
ester, N. Y, Seattle and in number
of other towns and cities throughout
the country the subject of adapting
psychological investigation to school
administration for the sake of the
children, and especially for the nor
NAL children, has become an estab-
lished fact.

BABY HANDS.

Baby hands, In all the world
there is nothing half so pure. 1t
seems at times as if God created ba-
bies that weary men and women
might not abandon faith in Him.
What tongue can tell, what pen
can describe what a baby means?
Everything that is holy, that is beau
tiful, that is good, clusters around
baby. It's tiny hands fasten
around our hearts with a mighty grip
that naught but death can loosen,
and men and women are nearest God
when they kneel at baby's feet.
No man may ever know the thoughts
of a mother as she bends over the
babe for whom she went down into
the valley of the shadow A halo
ever rests over mother and infant, as
if they had caught something of the
radiance of another world as they
fingered at the eternal gates.
Every baby is a completed mira
Gle, and is so priceless that Kingdoms
are worthless in the balance.
In that wee form is wrapped up
the hopes, the ambitions, the illu-
sions, If you willard our illusions
are often the most precious things
we have-of man and a woman.
For that morsel of humanity a wom-
an has paid terrible price and a
man has pledged his honor and his
life. All that we have fought for,
all that we have believed in, all that
countless generations have fought
Tor and believed in, the blood of mar
tyrs and the heroes, the anguish of
the oppressed and the tears of the

Trees.

Thank God for trees! What glad
ness they diffuse into our lives and
how they adorn our world! Who
would exchange existence with the
inhabitant of some ice-bound coast,
or shadeless, arid desert even to have
the soul supremacy of such a re-
gion? Better were one little wood
within our happier cline, whose trees
form a grateful shelter from the
summers heat and a protection
against the winters storms.
What a voiceless significance is
there in these sylvan friendsl Is not
the forest monarch, the proud and
lofty oak, that could tell the story of
centuries, an emblem of grandeur
and endurance? And the snow-lov-
ing pines, they symbolic the brave,
fearless spirit, ever erect in tempest

them to know. Teach them truth
full, gentle ways and they will be true
and gentle. If boy learns bad Ian
guage from his father he will repeat
it just as certainly as he has tongue
in his mouth, and if little girl hears
her mother gossip she will gossip
just as soon as she meets a playmate.
People who devour their food like
cattle must not expect their children
to have good table manners. Cen
tlemen and good women are home
made. There is nothing on earth
for which one ought to be more
thankful than for having been
brought up in the atmosphere of a
pure home. Such a home may be
narrow and even hard; it may be
deficient in material comforts. A
man, sturdy as an oak, once said:
Il was the son of poor parents and
from my youth up was Injured to self
denial and hardships, but | do not
remember of ever hearing a word
from the lips of either my mother or
my father that was not as it should
be. Better such recollections than a
great inheritance.

Many Would Be Police Matron.

According to members of the COM
mittee of the Greater Medford Club
named to recommend some person
for the job of police matron in that
city, there is no dearth of candidates.
A large number of applications have
been received, not only from women
in the city but from many outside
cities, from Los Angeles to Seattle
as well.
The women have not as yet decid-
ed as to which one of the applicants
they will recommend, but are care
fully looking over the list. The
committee, however, is opposed to
the importation of a matron.

Better Than Riches.

The desire to accumulate some
thing for ones children is a COM
mendable one; but it is well to bear
in mind that the best things are to
be given to the children personally,
in good examples, kind words and
thoughtful teachings. A very sensi-
BILE writer recently sid about this
important subject: children must
be taught what the parents wish
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1912-12-02

Many mothers pay too little atten-
tion to the laws of health; they allow
the children to do things with i'm
punity that will wreck a sound con-
stitution, and the future holds for
them sad harvest. Don't shut out
all the air and crowd all the children
into bed. Be careful in the way you
handle and play with your children;
it is very painful to witness the way
many parents throw their children up
in the air or let them hang, head
down.
