TAKING TO ENCOURAGE I'M
PROVEMENT.

The British deficit for I914-15 being
sure to reach some $27, ,0OO the
ministry must impose fresh taxes.
Lloyd-George's plans contemplate the
setting up OF a national system OF
valuation under which site values"
will be separated from Improvement
values, and under which relief will
be afforded the man who improves his
property. in proportion TO the amount
he expends to this end.
In most places in this country per-
sons are fined for improving their
property. Not OF course, in police
court but they are forced to pay in
creased taxes merely because they
improve their land. This is economic
folly. II discourages enterprise and
arrests industry. Shifting the tax bur-
den from improvements to land makes
the burden or tax on land SO large
that speculative holders of il can't
afford to carry 1t unimproved and
must do one OF two things; sell 1t to
some one who will improve 1t, or them
selves improve it
Lloyd-George IS working in the
right direction The growth OF cities
IN the Canadian northwest which have
tried out the system he now proposes
proves the wisdom OF 1t beyond doubt.

Kindergarten Progress in United States

In 10 years kindergartens in the
United States have grown from 3,244
kindergartens with 205,000 children to
1857 kindergartens enrolling 364,1s9
children, according to a bulletin is
sued by the United States bureau of
education.
Notwithstanding this encouraging
increase in schools and pupils, the
great majority of children are still
without the advantages of kindergarten
training. Only per cent of the chill
dren of kindergarten age-4 to O.
were in kindergartens.
Much constructive work must be
DONE" declares Miss Myra Winchester,
of the kindergarten division of the
bureau, reviewing the figures. THE
child of kindergarten age is so young,
so impressionable, so incapable of de-
Tending himself against the faulty
words and actions and mental atti
tudes OF the teacher, that means must
be devised to eliminate or at least
diminish the number of faulty teach
ers Standards of requirements as to
personality and, academic and profess
sional training must be raised and
maintained. for the surest guarantee
of the extension of kindergartens is
good work done by good teachers"
Miss Winchester traces the path of
progress in kindergartens from pri-
vate philanthropy to public support

First there were private kindergar
tens, regarded as more or less of g
| luxury for the well-to-do. Next, good
men and women began to provide
charity" kindergartens for the poor
and neglected children; churches, set
| Elements, kindergarten associations,
gave and continue to give
glad and generous support to such
kindergartens. Then as a direct out
growth of the work of the kinder
garten associations, there have evolved
training schools for kindergarten
teachers; the state legislature has
teen induced to pass a bill making it
legal to institute public school kin
dergartens; local boards Of education
have partially, then entirely, taken
over the care and education of little
children, and finally state and city
normal schools have incorporated the
kindergarten training school, making
them into a regularly integrated de-
partment."

vate and public kindergartens through

ties. The bulletin is illustrated with
of real kindergarten chill

JUSTIFYING LIES.

A French theologian. with the ap
| prevail of his vicar general. has taken
| the pains to revise the popular notions
/ of falsehood and simplify the delicate
art of veracity. His definition of a
/ lie is an effort TO deceive one who has
a right to know the truth. This leaves
wide range for falsehood that is
permissible.
The permissible lies" according to
/ this theory, include those told to guard
a secret and those told in self-defense.
| Thus, he says, a wife may ''lie" about
her infdelity, a witness in a law court
may lie" if he has reason to fear re-
sentiment by the prisoner, a con-
| fessant may lie" about sins already
absolved, and any case where his own
safety is concerned. And none OF these
lies will be lie. properly called"
This means, in short, that a lie is
permissible" wherever it is more
convenient than the truth.
And the real philosophy of It is that
the only lies" that are real lies are
those told without any definite pur-
pose in view except to astound and
entertain.
The attempt to draw line of dis
tinction between white lies and black
ones is not new. But II is somewhat
new for a distinguished theologian
with the approval of vicar general, to
attempt to show that fully nine-tenths
of the lies told are justifiable.
In the law courts various degrees
of truthfulness have always been rec
ognized. An accused man is allowed
to plead mot guilty." without perjury,
and perjury itself is of comparatively
recent origin, not having been known
in law before the time of Elizabeth
and still being confined to assertory
oaths only.
But the moral aspect of lying is sup
posed to be different from the legal
aspect. And now it appears that a
French theologian can present an as
pect that is neither moral nor legal.
The law judges lie from its effect
upon the person or persons injured by
IT. Theologians Judge a lie from its
results =pon the liars future exist
ence. But there is a nearer and bet |
ter way of judging, and that is from
the effect upon the liars own charac- !
ter. There is nothing more self-debas- |
ing than the habit of lying. The man |
or woman who has acquired it has lost |
the highest quality for true usefulness,
self-respect and content

Congress Adds to National Forest

Nearly 1900 acres have Just been
added by act OF congress to the Car
obou national forest. Idaho. This IS
one of the first OF such additions
through congressional action. and is
the largest so far made by direct leg
islation.
Those who have followed the nation
al forest movement in this country
will recall that most OF the forests
have been created through presiden-
tial proclamation, which set aside, for
timber growing or for water protec-
ton, certain areas of the public do
main. In March. 1907. however. con-
gress passed a law that no further ad-
ditions should be made to the national
forest areas in the states of Colorado,
Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington

drained should be submitted to the
kerosene treatment. Back in the hills
in and near the city are a number OF
ponds which annually breed millions
of the insects. There is no reason
why these should not be filled or
drained in every case. Where the old
fashioned rain barrel is in use II
should be tightly covered and care
should be taken that no receptacles
or depressions exist about the premises
in which rainwater can accumulate.
To eradicate the mosquito It will be
necessary for everybody to help. The
added enjoyment of being out of doors
in the evenings will justify all the
pains Il costs.

HELPS DEMAND FOR HORSE
FLESH.

There are indications that the pre-
parations of the federal government
for a possible war with Mexico will have
material effect in advancing the
prices OF horses and mules. The sup
ply of these animals in the middle
west, largely decreased during recent
years, is being exhausted by the de
mand for cavalry horses and for
mules for transporting army supplies
during campaigns. The St Louis
market has shown evidence of the
growing scarcity of desirable
mounts.
Present plans call for the purchase
of $500 mounts for army use, and a
regular army officer is stationed at the
St. Louis National stock yards to sup
ervise the purchase. But should pros
poets of hostilities increase, this num-
her will be but a drop in the bucket
TO the number of animals that will be
required for army use. Dealers who
have recently contracted with the gov.
eminent for 3.425 horses say that Hi.
nois, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and
Kansas will be drawn upon for thesi
animals.
With a conceded shortness of supply
throughout the west, the prospect for
demands for government use which
will necessarily be larger than usual.
even if war does not ensue. will in
crease the price of horses and mules,
and make them higher for years to
rome.
This prospect should warrant more
liberal operations on the part of west
ern horse and mule breeders.

Bed Time Tales
SeUen Little Pigs
By Clara Ingram Judson

n nee there were seven little
pigs who lived with their
mother in a corner of a big
barnyard.
Their tiny corner was all right
for while, but as the little pigs
grew and began roofing about they
were decidedly too crowded. So the
farmer took some rails and carefully
fenced off a corner OF big meadow
and there the seven little pigs began
the second period of their lives.
For a time they had great fun
running about, digging in the soft,
mellow ground and being happy in
a nice, contented pig fashion.
Till one day the biggest pig of
all happened TO look over the fence.
(You know yourself what ira
gedy it is to look over the fence
around your own life, so you can
just imagine how he felt)
, All that lovely pasture-all the
woods beyond - fields and green
trees in the distance-and a miser-
able fence right at handl
That. poor biggest pig stuck his
nose through a space between the
rails and looked and looked at the
big beyond.
"Come on, Biggie," shouted his
little brother, what makes you hang
around that fence all the time?
Don't you want some corn"
"Oh, i can get some corn pretty
soon," grunted the biggest pig.
what / want now is to root in that
meadow yonder.
The six brother and sister pigs
simply couldn't understand such un-
piglike sentiments, so they turned
their backs on their queer brother
and began gobbling their dinner and
grunting for more, just as they al
ways had.
But finally they got about enough
and had time TO notice their big
brother, who was still looking
through the fence.
1T wonder what he really sees
over there" said one.
"Foolishness," exclaimed another.
! Lets so see" said third.

day was allowed these pupils for out
side study.
Close observation of 500 school boys
through a period of seven years to dis
cover the effects of the tobacco habit
demonstrated to Superintendent Davis
Of Menominee, Mich, that the non
smokers averaged from to 10 per
cent higher in scholarship and were
at still greater advantage in the ath-
letlcs of the school. Idleness and
poor conditions of home life were the
almost invariable accompaniment of
all cases of smoking and all cases of
failure which he observed.
There are 100000 students enrolled
in professional schools in the United
States this year, according to figures
compiled by the United States bureau
OF education. OF these S5,1O2 are in
endowed institutions; the remainder
In institutions supported from public
funds. The various professions are
represented as follows: Theology,
1895; law, POSTS; medicine, 1928;
dentistry, S,015; pharmacy, 6,165; vet
Urinary science, 1924; nurse training,
34,417. New York state has the great
est number of students in professional
schools-13,945. Illinois comes next,
with 1888, and Pennsylvania. Massa-
