discipline is one of the most
wrongly designed Of all the methods
employed as means to good teach
ing. The main reason for this is
misunderstanding as to what really
constitutes good discipline. | once
visited teacher who thought herself
to be a model disciplinarian. AS
entered her room | was greeted with
this remark: John, take your feet
out of the aisle Five of the fifteen
minutes spent in her room were con-
sumed in correcting pupils. This
teacher would have been an excel
lent officer OF the law; she was con-
Stantly on duty, and she never let q
malefactor escape her. This idea of
discipline is not only harrassing to
the pupil, but it places an unneces-
sary amount of nervous strain on the
teacher and makes disconnected
recitation.
I'm another room ] found a group
Of perfectly drilled soldiers, but there
was a strained and an unhappy look
on the pupils faces. The cause Of
this deplorable state was traced TO
the almost cruel severity of the
teacher. The smallest breaking Of
the law was punished with the same
severity as the worst Offense. This
loom; her methods were enough to
crush the sOul-yea, even the life
out of the child. Such ideas Of dis
cipline must have been handed down
from the stone age and they are
now obsolete and should be so con-,
sidered.
"You have heard teachers say that
they must have good order, no mat
ter how obtained. The first of this
statement is correct, but these teach
ers make the great mistake of plac-
ing discipline above everything else
that is, they make discipline an
end in itself, rather than a means to
good teaching. They are right in
saying that they must have order,
but let this order come from the
child's self-government and not be a
forced obedience to commands. The
aim of education is to fit a child for
life, and there is nothing more essen
tial in mans life than government
OF self. If the teacher does all the
governing, how can the child de-
velop?

OF the vessel was not an unprovoked

OUR SPECIAL EDITION.

We are fast getting together the

which promises to be the most elab-
crate publication ever produced on

The edition will comprise not less
than 1000 copies, as already orders
are in for upwards of 5000 copies in
addition to our regular subscription
list. II is our desire to print a sufii-
cient number of these papers to meet
the wants of all. but as we do not
care to have an unnecessary number
left over, those who desire them to
send to their friends should not fail
TO get their orders in at once. The
price OF the special will be the same
as the price for the regular paper,

Going Wild Over New Counties.

The time of the legislature will
probably be occupied TO a great ex-
tent with county division bills. The
Capital News says that Boundary,
Buhl, Payette and Benewah division
issues bobbed up and were sent into
the legislative hopper Teton, Sell
way, Camas and Butte counties are
waiting for their debut. Boundary
county is to be created out of Bon
ner, Buhl out of Twin Falls, Payette
out of Canyon, Benewah out of Koo-
tenai, Selway out of Idaho, Camas
| and Butte out OF Blaine, Teton out Of
Madison. If they all pass eight new
counties will be born and as each
county is a district and each district
is entitled TO a senator, the senate
two years hence would have 4 1 mem
bers, or be three-fourths as large as
The house
In this connection We take the lib
crty TO correct statement which ap-
peared in the News recently to the
effect that Camas couny was to be
made up from a slice of Lincoln
county. We have a copy of the bill
creating Camas county before us
wherein no mention is made OF an
nexing any part of Lincoln county
as the entire new territory will bt
taken from Blaine county.

Reversing the decision entered by
il Nov :, 1914. the public utilities
commission Saturday granted the Id
aho Power K Light Co. a certificate
of convenience and necessity in the
Twin Falls section in competition
with the Great Shoshone & Twin
Falls Power Co. The first decision.
which was construed as being the
policy OF the public utilities commits
sion at that time, was written by d.
w. Standrod and concurred in by j..
A. Blomquist, president of the COM
mission The present decision is
written by A. p Ramstedt and IS con-
Cured in by John w. Graham. who
succeeded Judge Standrod.
Mr. Ramstedt did not participate
in the first hearing. so that the deci-
sion of Saturday is not reversal OF
Mr. Ramsiedt's opinion, but is rather
a change in policy as a result of tho
resignation of one member and the
retirement of another.
In explaining its decision the com
mission says: I'VE do not wish TO b'
understood as holding. or intending
to hold that the door of competition
shall be thrown wide open in thi
state: but, unless it is shown that tn
utility desiring to enter competi
tive field can give such service as vii

LOST ON SPUD SHIPMENT.
Idaho Potato Growers and Shippers
Swindled.

The issue of the Packer. under date
of Jan. 9. contains an article of some
length and interest, having to do
among other things with swindle to
the amount of $4,000 against the po.
tato growers OF this section and
Shelly.
The people implicated in the swim
die are McDuffie and Lowry of Dallas,
Texas, commission firm which has
since closed its doors, one OF the part
ners Of the concern being under ar
rest and the other having skipped out
and is said TO be we'll on his way
across the ocean.
The firm in question swindled ma
ny people. producers, raisers ano
dealers the country over and among
them were potato raisers in this sec
ton.
1t seems that from all that can b'
learned the firm in question sent
potato buyer into this section ant
Shelly and bought potatoes direc
from the growers TO the amount o
$4,000, the produce not having beel
paid for but consigned TO the firm Il

The matter was taken up by a. [

from Idaho Falls, he having secure

charge against him, providing SON

ling operations do not grab hi
first.
The names of the potato grove

in the Packer. but ii is claimed tn
morning that they are promine

$500 Per~Year


The efforts at establishing a -four
mill at this place as noted in these
columns some few weeks ago have
not been abandoned, but the matter
Is still being discussed. There Is am
pie grounds for argument In favor OF
one of these mills in the following
which we take from the Buhl Herald.
where efforts are also being made to
install a mill:
If there is one thing that Buhl
needs more than another 1t is -four
mill No good reasons exist for the
present high price Of -four in this
city. 1t is entirely out of proportion
to the cost of production and manu-
facture. Growers are receiving little
enough for their product, too small
price, in fact. The enormous profits
go to the middle men.
In a large measure this loss to the
growers and the community could be
overcome if a mill doing custom
grinding were located in Buhl. Truth
of this assertion is evident in Filler
where they have a small 25 barrel
mill installed. When -four was sell
ing last summer at s125 the farmer
could take his wheat to the Filler
mill and exchange it for -four for 85c,
saving OF approximately soc.
After going into the question OF
the installation of one of these little
mills we find that they sell at $500
f. o. b. the factory in Kentucky; or
TO bring it down further one Of them
could be installed here in a suitable
building with a cost for the two OF
less than $500.
Some would hesitate to invest in
one for fear of competition from the
large milling companies, but investi-
cations will show they have no cause
TO fear such a contingency. In the
first place the owner with helper
all or part of the time can do his OWL
: work; in the second place the bie
companies can no longer lower theil
price in Buhl and raise it higf
enough in Twin Falls or some othel
city to offset their loss in Buhl, bu
they must charge the same price a
o every place of business within tn
o state.

French WRITER'S CRITICISE
Aerial DEfENSES OF paris

Paris, March %, 4.45 A. NJ
Georges Clemenceau and other promi-
nent writers in the Paris press criticize
the aerial defenses of Paris. They de-
clare Zeppelins should not have been
aole to reach Paris Sunday night
which was clear and starlight. The
danger of an air fight over the capital
with the possibility of the fall of
Zeppelin with its cargo of unused ex-
plosives is pointed out. These views
are shared by the deputies represent
ing the Paris district, who decided at
O meeting yesterday to make represen-
tations on the subject to Premier Vivi-
ami.
Details have not been obtained as
TO the circumstances of the second
raid upon Paris which was attempted
last night. 1t is understood that two
fleets had planned to lombard the cap
ital, but it is supposed they turned
back because of the heavy rain storm
when % miles from the city. When
announcement was made that raid
was impending French aeroplane flotil-
las took the air from the entrenched
eamps and searchlights were trained
upon the sky from every quarter.
After the city firemen once had sig
nailed that the danger was past, a see
opd alarm was sounded because of a
report that Zeppelins had been seen
flying over the Department of the
Oise When they had not appeared at
s a. m. bugles sounded the retreat"
and the lights of the city were turned
on again.

TO SAVE HUSBAND TROUBLE
Penniless but Well-gowned Woman Left
Letter Explaining Suicide

Philadelphia March 23.-A we'll
dressed woman of 30, known both as
Mrs. Joseph L. Rea and Mrs. Fanny
MeFay, committed suicide yesterday in
a lodging house at l25 North Sixteenth
street. She was found with the end
of a hose, attached to an open jet, in
her mouth.
A letter to Jos. Rea, general deliv-
cry, Boston, which lay on a bureau,
said:
'My Dear Husband am sorry |
had to do this, but | think it is best
after all. Ny prolonged illness would
only have caused you more trouble and
worriment in the end. l will meet you
on the other side. y
The woman was apparently in eN-
treme financial difficulties, being In-
able, when she came to the lodging
house on Sunday, to pay the rent OF
$4. She was extensively attired, how
ever, and was of evident refinement.
Mrs. Charles Miller, III North Six
teenth street, who conducts the house,
said that a year ago the woman lived
in her house with her husband and the
couple were known at that time as Mr..
and Mrs Mckay. The man was sup.
posed to be in some way connected
with the Havre De Grace race track.
He was elected frCm this place, how
ever, for alleged intoxication. Deputy
Coroner McKeever telegraphed to the
police of Boston to look for the wom-
ans husband.

Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert a cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon the
lower bowels, removing the distractions
Of poisonous fecal matter and gases and
preventing their absorption by the
blood. This done, the food is allowed
free passage from the stomach, fer
mentation ceases and stomach troubles
quickly disappear.
George H. Mayr, for twenty wears a
leading Chicago druggist, cured himself
and many of his friends of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles of years
standing by this treatment, and so sue
eessful was the remedy he devised that
it has since been placed in the hands
of druggists all over the country, who
have sold thousands of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless, the ef-
feet of the medicine is sufficient to
convince any one of its remarkable
effectiveness. and within "a hours the
sufferer feels like new person. Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy is sold bv leading
druggists everywhere with the positive
understanding that your money will be
refunded without question or bubble if
ONE bottle fails to give you absolute
satisfaction.
