KANSAS COAMENT
AS No PREJUDICEs


Get a prejudice into your system in the
days of your youth and then observe how
much it becomes a religion as you grow
older. Many years ago we took an aver
sion to a certain character and about the
time that prejudice was getting a good
mold on US we fell in with a. man who
intensified it by what we presumed to be
accurate statements to the shortcom-
lnsS OF the individual deteSted. So as
time went on we measured this Individual
by yard stick that had been shortened
to suit our convenience. We were able
to see every little flaw, while the appar-
ent virtues were supposed to either be
convenient cloaks for vice or sops to
appease the critics. Recently there came
an awakening and we discovered that so
many of our preconceived opinions were
founded on false foundation and learned
further that the men who really knew the
truth and had no personal axes to grind
were united in sincere esteem for the
virtues of the one we considered beyond
redemption. And this is not an isolated
an exceptional case The most of the
prejudiceS of mankind are based on mis-
information. Slander is more often heard
than is the tribute deserved; the charac-
ter assassin can get hearing when he
who would speak a word of deserved
praise is unheeded, and so as a general
thing it has come that the most of our
likes and dislikes are based on prejudice
rather than wledge.-Marysville Ad-
vocate-Democrat.

PoLITENEss IN SCHOOLS.

The city of Cleveland has taken a lear
from the academic notebook of Chicago
and has elected a woman superintendent
of schools. Miss Harriet Keller, the new
superintendent, is a woman of high lit
erary attainment and for 50 years has
been associated with school work; she
must know something about education.
Miss X eeler has a hobby that she wishes
to see tried out in the schools, and it will
interest the people of the whole country
it is that poiiteness should be taught in
every grade.
Miss Keller is in favor of devoting a
short time in each grade to a practical
Illustration of politeness in everyday life.
This idea is 50 natural and yet SO new
that its very mention wins favor Some
pupils may have home advantages that

street, in travelling and in being thought
full and considerate of other peoples feel
