er, II is assumed, the teacher or prin
cipal gives a systematic lesson on the
conduct of life. The various virtues
are taught not as distractions, but
by concrete examples and by inter
esting stories. The teacher is not

she is rather to say, This thing has
been done" Hearing constantly
about right actions, the pupils learn
to appreciate right conduct. The
spirit behind the instruction is the
spirit of service; but this and other
technical moral terms are to be
rarely, if ever mentioned. 1T is

scarcely ever use the word patriotism
and yet the temper of conservation

SIMPLICITY AND ECONOMY"

Disappointed over the receipts from
the income tax, which are said to be
$20,OOO,0O0 less than expectations,
the treasury department announces
its intention of putting special inves-
tigators on the track of men whom it
believes have made false returns, and
to set its law experts to work in an
effort to ascertain new classes of
firms, corporations, societies and in
dividuals hitherto believed exempt
from the income tax that may be
taxed. a...
1t Is all very we'll to run down the
man who may be guilty of lodging his
income tax, or to swearing falsely.
But the public generally will agree
with the Sioux City Tribune that
there is a better way of making both
ends of government finances meet
than making the income tax odious
by trying to enlarge its scope on
every possible technicality The bet.
ter way Is to cut down expenses.
