PROPER TRAINING FOR YOUTH
Some Really Pertinent Suggestions by
One Who Is an Expert on the
Subject.

The New York papers were full
Few days ago with the case of shop
keeper arrested for beating a boy tor
mentor. The court declared that he
would like to hear the opinions OF a
number of people as to the proper pun
lshment for the man, and Immediately
hundreds of letters began to pour In
upon editors. A great many of the let
tiers showed far more sympathy with
the man than with the boy, declaring
that bad boys "pestered" the very life
out Of some people, and that some or
them ought to be boiled in OIL" These
cheerful proposals are answered by
James p. Munroe, the well-known edu-
Gator of Boston, whose latest book,
New Demands in Education, has just
been published. In one of the most In
teresting chapters, entitled The DON
ming Of Long Trousers. Mr.. Munroe
outlines some of the peculiarlties OF
the hobbledehoy just coming into man.
hood.
''As to those extremely dissgreeable
qualities in YOUTH" he says, Ibis self
assertiveness, his arrogance. his scorn
OF his teacher and of everybody else.
cantankerousness. These sharp cor
ner-stones of his character which We
builders would so like to reject may
be made, on the contrary, the very
head of the corner In the boys educa-
ton. For it is these qualities which
will most quickly respond to any NOR
al appeal. II that appeal be wrongly
made, these qualities will all rise up
in rebellion against It; II it be rightly
made. every one will be a stout ally
to make the work of the teacher fruit
full and enduring. If the boy show the
self-assertion which he calls manli
ness, then let him prove himself
man by cultivating really manly quail
ties. If he love argument, argue with
him, but In the Socratic manner, so
that he may prove out of his own
mouth the truth. If he would be mas
terful, ovefbearing, pugnacious. put
him In charge of weaker or smaller
boys, making him responsible for their
safety and right doing. Unknown to
him those wards Of his will protect
him far more than he will them"

works and a palisade, and within The
palisade were built cabins after some
of the forest growth had been re-
moved. Civilization took its stand in
the midst Of the wilderness.
At the foot of the rock, on the level
bank of the river, bowling alley was
laid out for the Frenchmen. Around
this were other shelters, Of French
and, of Indians. The fort had become
a suburb of Kaskaskia, or, as the
French called it, LaVantum, across
the river. This town of the Kaskaskia
Indians was added to by arrivals of
other tribes, especially those of the
Illinois nation. The original settle
ment was west of where the Utica
bridge now crosses the river, but the
additions spread to the east along the
low bank of the stream. Including
the Indians gathered about the foot OF
the rock, La Sale estimated the popu-
lation at one time to be 10000 persons,
1000 Of whom were warriors.
Grain Abounded In Broad Fields.

Illinois were farming people and the
rich food plains of the Illinois needed
little filling. Tracts of land were
granted to score of Frenchmen. The
river provided fish; in the swamps
downstream were water fowl; the
prairies were dotted with buffalo.
The population lessened or increas-
ed from season to season. La Sale
died, murdered in far off Texas. The
mission was removed to the Missis-
sippi river in 100. Despite the ex-
hortations of Father Gravier, the In.
habitants of Kaskaskia fed to this
new sanctuary from the Iroquois.
Hence the new Kaskaskia on the
Mississippi, which became the first cap
ital of Illinois. The rock was left
deserted except by the garrison and
the traders. In 1902 the garrison was
withdrawn and twenty years later
Charlevoix. passing down the river,
saw only the rotting palisades. OF the
10000 Indians none remained. But the
story runs that Tonty, white haired
and feeble, was carried back to his
rock to die among a few wondering
red men and be buried in the swift
water below.
The old fort still served as a strong
hold for the Peorias. In 1922 these
Indians we're besieged on the rock by
the Foxes and their allies, but the
siege was raised. In 1869 at Cahokia
came the murder of Pontiac, leader
of the Pottawatomies and Ottawas. by
a Kaskaskia Indian, and the revenge
of the Pottawatomie nation. The Kas-
kaskias and the other Illinois tribes
were massacged. A few Peorias were
trapped on the rock and there, starv-
ing, defended the single approach. One
dark night those remaining made a
sortie and about a dozen-accounts
differ as to the number-escaped down
the river in stolen canoes, the last of
their people. Nothing remains TO re-
call them except bits of bone, pottery
and flint that are plowed up on the
site of the ancient city and the silent
rock standing unchanged through the
centuries and breasting the flow of
the river.

Fossil Camels.

The first fossil camels ever found
intact In America are being set up In
the Carnegie museum In Pittsburg. and
curious little animals they are, being
not much larger than greyhounds,
with slender legs and long necks.
These skeletons were clothed with
flesh ages ago and existed in the Mo
brara valley in western Nebraska,
where Professor o. A. Peterson of the
Carnegie museum and DR.. F, B. Loom.

These fossil camels are said to be
the remote ancestors OF the modern

Africa and of the American llama.

Wakao Ippei, the weafhiest man In
the province of Yamanashi, Japan, did
not learn to read until he was sixty
years Of age, nor had he up to that
time begun to accumulate his present
great fortune. At the age Of ten he
started TO make his own way in the
world. At one time he was a rag
picker. His first real business venture
was the purchase of crystal balls,
which sold at a good profit. AS he
grew in wealth he entered the silk
field, in which most OF his money was
made. After reaching the age Of sixty
he engaged tutor in Chinese classics,

This is indeed necessary, for many dis

diphtheria, consumption and many other

Many times the volumes are read by

the books by the patients is conducive to

l will not attempt to make denial or

brute animals, but would like to ask
whether human beings reason. 1t seems
to me that in the majority of cases they do
not. Man in his monumental egotism has
placed himself far above animals in intel

shows himself absolutely devoid of reason.
Take, for instance, man who is all

Operations will soon begin at the big plant of the Bradford Dyeing associa- tion at Bradford. but at the start it will of necessity be run on short time, as many of the employees will reside in Westerly and the transportation fla cilities are meagre. The Norwich & Westerly Traction company has under consideration the extension of it's sys- tenn to Bradford. provided financial en- couragement Is given by the Bradford concern. It is argued that to build an equt the extension would be a costly experiment and with no sur face indication of profit for a long period. However, with the co-opera- tion of the Bradford Dyeing associa- ton the tEssssy company is in readi- ness to build, equip and operate the road, provided the Bradford concern will take a specified amount of stock 3n the enterprise.
 In the opinion Of the trolley com pany, the dyeing company should sub ecribe to stock to the amount of $25, 900. but the Bradford company shows disposition to subscribe to only $5,O0O worth of stock in the enterprise It 3s argued that if the road is built it will be for the accommodation of the 0yclng concern more than to the vil- sage of Bradford. and that therefore that company ought to bear it's burden of the expense and share the loss or profit. as the case may be.
