 As a means of getting the parents and others interested in the school work, a public exhibit of the work done by scholars at the Pleasant Street school was held Thursday and will also be repeated this afternoon from until 4 o'clock. An opportu- nity is also given to see the children at play and methods used in getting the best possible results from their recreation. Last year general eX- hibit was held at the high school building, but this year the schools are planning to hold separate displays of their work. The Pleasant Street school is the first to have an exhibit of its own and by the number of par ents and friends who visited the ex- hibit Thursday it was evident that this method of having the townspeo- pie get an insight into the school work which is being accomplished is already proving popular.

In the realms of science, of positive knOWl-
edge, there is no trouble in having experience as
a guide when facts are certain.
The young chemist believes what the older
chemist tells him about the composition OF
matter.
The young astronomer believes what the old
astronomer tells him as to the location of the
suns and nebulae, the method of taking the
parallax.
Positive PROVED truth is handed on from
the old to the young, and there is no waste
there.
II is only in the development of the mind,
only in the development and the control of the
passions and emotions that youth refuses to be
taught.
And lucky for the world it is that that is so.
Old age says to youth, Such and such
thing cannot be done; do not try it." And youth
says, ''YOu could not do it safely, but perhaps
can"
Youth suffers, but knowledge is increased
and the power of man is increased

has been compelled to go through the whole
gamut of life its disappOintments, its mistakes,
from childhood into old age. Each Individual
has made the mistakes of his period and those
older than himself with their warning words
and pointing fingers, have not availed to stop
one single error.
Many man has exclaimed against the in
justice and the folly in divine government that
make it impossible for the young to profit by
the experiences of the old.
But the laws that regulate the lives of little
men on this planet-and that regulate thought
and life in the planets and suns billions of
miles away-take little heed of mems COM
plants.
Every human being must earn the
whole lesson of life for himself
Every child before it is born goes through all
the stages of animal development, from the
single cell all the way up to the fully developed
human being. And science can read in the
various stages of the unborn child ALL THE
PHYSICAL EVOLUTION OF ANIMAL LIFE
ON THIS PLANET.
And as the body goes through physical evOlu-
ton BEFORE birth, so the brain goes through
mental evolution AFTER birth.
The child, from its first day until its last fol-
lows the line of mental development on this
planet. The first emotion that appeared in the
lowest animal was fear And that is the first
emotion that appears in the child.
The second emotion that appears in the low
est animal is anger. And that is the second emo
ton in the child.
And so it goes. Each must run the gamut and
learn everything anew.
And it is a good thing for the human race that
it is so.
For the fact that we refuse to be taught by
experience is responsible for the glorious fact
THAT WE REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT

time on one single telegraph wire. And so we
have the benefit of EdisOn's work.
And the first men that put their faith-all
young men-in steam refused to believe the
wise ancients who said that such things were
impossible. So we have the locomotive instead
of the stage coach
And so it has ever been. The old will tell you
that because we always have had poor people
we always MUST have them. But young man
will come one day who will refuse to believe
and will prove that it is not true.
The old will tell you that we must suffer here
on earth miserably in order TO 90 to heaven
later. But men to-day refuse to believe that and
they are making this earth almost fit to live
upon.
Men will tell you that women must stay at
home and suffer and tOil-each woman the
slave of cooking stove and the slave Of two or
three children. The older women believed it.
BUT THE YOUNG WOMEN REFUSE TO BE-
LIEVE 1T And so they will be free from The
cooking stove as life occupation, free from the
honor and glory of waiting for some second
rate man to come home. They will have their
share in the worlds wOrk-and their children
will be the better for it and their homes the
happier.
1t is fortunate for the world that the boy IN
the picture THINKS FOR HIMSELF AND DE.
CIDES FOR HIMSELF. Although the old man
is nearly always right and the little boy will sui
fer for doubling, yet in the long run the world
is better off, because that little boys doubts may
give one new truth, make one new experiment,
add to the accomplishments of the human raind
and the possibilities of the human race.
Let that be the consolation of parents who
suffer because children make the mistakes that
they made and uluSt suffer the DuuiShmentS
that they suffered.
If the day comes when the young will listen
and believe, and not 60 beyond the bounds and
limits set by the DID, that will be the day when
this little race will have reached its limit-and
then it might as well die out and move away to
another planet with bigger opportunities and
a better career

FUNNY SAYINGS OF KIDDIES
Much embarrassment In Church
Caused by Alarming Discovery OF
Preachers Small Daughter.

One Of the most embarrassing stu
atoms in which was ever placed.
says Hildo Cowham, the artist, in the
Strand, was caused by niece OF
mine whose father was clergyman
and whom took to church for the
first time. She did not in the least
know what her father did and for a
long time did not observe him. But
after sitting quietly beside me for
some time. hardly daring to raise her
eyes because told her she must be
quiet or she would not 90 to church
again, she suddenly, in the middle OF
the sermon, looked up and saw him.
and screamed: "Auntie, look, there's
daddy up there! And whatever 's he
yelling about?"
Which reminds me Of two little
nephews Of mine who were taken to
churchyard by a very old and picus
aunt. She, thinking to impress the
surroundings on them, said, You
kno&, Jack and Fred, II Is only the
body that lies here. Now. what part
of him goes to heaven" His head,
suppose"
There are probably many mothers
who have had cause to smile at the
quaint additions which their children
at times have made to their prayers.
A little girl friend Of mine was once
taken to a ventriloQuial entertain
ment, which impressed her very much.
While saying her prayers that night
she asked God to look after all her
brothers and sisters and make her a
good girl. Then there was a pause
and one heard, soto voice. "Al
