INFORMATION TO VOTERS

The following instructions are CIV
en- for the information and guidance
of voters:
(a) A voter upon entering the
polling place and giving his name
and residence, will receive a ballot
from the ballot clerk which must
have endorsed thereon the names or
initials of both ballot clerks, and
no other ballot can be used. Upon
receiving his ballot, the voter must
retire alone to a booth or compart-
ment and prepare the same for vot-
ing. A ballot clerk may inform the
voter as to the proper manner of
marking a ballot, but he must not ad
wise or indicate in any manner whom
to vote for

friendly visit with a close friend in
the medical profession, the father re-
cited his sons school experiences.
The doctor listened closely; then be-
gan to ply questions which brought
out definitely what had, hitherto,
been only vague, unrelated observa-
tions.
Let me state, parenthetically, that
during these years of unproductive
schooling, when the boy had appar-
emily failed to fit into any school sys-
tenn, he had learned a great deal by
absorption. Unfortunately, however,
his knowledge was most disorderly,
and his mind as undisciplined as the
manners of a Fiji Islander.
The physician suggested a possible
error in the boys eyesight as the
cause of his poor scholarship. The
father doubted it. His charity for his
son was about exhausted, and he ex-
pressed the opinion that the boy was
just pure cussed'' and down right
lazy. Nevertheless, an occulist was
consulted. The first rough examina-
ton showed that the boy had an eye
defect that was enough to account
for his aversion to the written Or
printed word The eye examination,
furthermore, removed the suspicion

A Wisconsin man has a son who,
while displaying most of the signs
of at least ordinary intelligence, had
always done very poorly in his school
work. Outside of school hours he
would barely look at book, although
he would urge others to read to him
by the hour
The father, man in comfortable
circumstances, feeling his own in
competency and being accustomed in
his business to hire the best assist
ance he could employ, withdrew the
boy from the public school and sent
him to an expensive private school.
1t took a couple of years for the
father to realize that the boy wasn't
doing we'll there either. He tried an
other and still higher priced school
and practically wasted another two
years.
