JUDGE GOODWIN RESPONDS
TO CALL OF THE WILD.

Unable to withstand the lure of Ne
vada and the opportunity to meet the
friends and companions of the days of
long ago, Judge G. @. Goodwin has az
cepted the invitation to visit Carson
City and deliver the oration ON the
Fourth of July. The letter containing
this information was received by Gov
ernor Boyle yesterday and is as fol
lows:
Salt Lake City, June 7, 1915.
Ny Dear Governor have just writ
ten Mr.. Hunting of the Fourth of
July committee that | will try to be
in Carson to help celebrate the nation
al anniversary.
| have been in doubt about being
for not sooner replying to your most
cordial and much cherished letter of
May Goth, and sincerely thank you
for il.
I held the friendship of your father
as special honor for many years,
which makes your beautiful letter the
more touching to me.
But to your invitation to be your
guest while at Carson, permit me to
plead an old mans excuse, that save
when the guest of the governor of Ore
gon for three days, thirty seven years
ago, have not slept under any gen
tleman's private roof for forty years.
Old men are full of kinks and VIII m
travelling, like to be where they can
swear at the landlord, damn the want
ers and go and come as they please
II has been my custom on this coast
for more than three score years.
Again thanking you and assuring
You of the very great pleasure I an
ticipate upon meeting you, | am most
sincerely, your obedient servant,
G. C. GOODWIN.

THE REIIGNING PASSION

"Throw up your hands.' the robber
said. The girl still held her ground
And put a little powder on her nose.
She rushed out into the street and
stopped, as autos flew around,
And put a little powder ON her nose.
A safe was falling from floor Just
nineteen stories high
Look out - the workmen shouted
as the girl came tripping by.
She opened up her handbag aad,
while others tried to fly
She put little powder on her nose.
One day the girl was i'll, and when
the doctor said she'd die,
She put a little powder on her nose.
And just before she passed away she
gave little sigh
And put a little powder on her nose.
st. Peter met her at the gate and of
fered her his hand.
Step in,' he said; ''we welcome
you where all s sublimely grand.''
"Exeuse me just moment" said
the pretty maiden, and
She put little powder on her nose.

NEwLANDS DISCUSSES
BIG CARSON PROJECT

Serious attention is being given by
the federal government to the upper
Carson Reclamation project, according
to Senator Francis G. Newlands. The
government looks upon the upper Car
son field as the biggest and most i'm
portant reclamation project in Nevada,
Newlands said.
The farmers of that district must,
however, he added, cooperate with the
government. The ranches through the
district must be cut up into small
tracts and sold at reasonable prices,
so as to promote settlement and not
monopoly
Thousands of acres contiguous o
Reno will soon come under cultivation.
Senator Newlands believes, as the re-
suit of the recent acquisition by the
government of the Lake Tahoe dam

Morning Session

DR. T. A. Robinson addressed the au-
dience at the Chautauqua meeting this
morning on g. An Undiscovered Conti-
nent of Education
DR. Robinson began by telling of how
the discarded and so-called science CT
chronology had led to the study of
nerve centers, and the location of brain
areas that control certain physical and
mental activities. He illustrated by
showing that if certain nerve centers
were affected one would not be able
10 see words, if others were affected
one would lose the power of speech,
and so on.
He pointed out the value in eduea-
tion, of laying aside to great degree
the study Of books and having children
educate themselves through motor ac-
tivities such as manual training hand
work, sewing, tipping, etc. These motor
activities develop the corresponding
brain eenters and make the pupil self
reliant.
DR.. Robinson S undiscovered eonti-
nent in education is in the moral edu-
cation, laboratory method of teach
ing moral education that will make the
moral standing of the nation just as
great as its industrial standing and
efficiency. He would do this work bv
having the child assume for himself
certain moral obligations and carry
them out, thus developing the centers
of control of moral activity inst as the
motor centers are developed
Or. Robinson has real message Tor
educators and he is pointing the way
for vast Improvement in our eduea-
tional and national life.
