ms To the arguments advanced by the
government and its supporters in the
general campaign for economy now be-

One Of their best arguments is to
point to the recent statement OF a

clared, "the whole womankind of our
country got out of tight skirts into lul

The True Scholar

A boy or girl that likes a beautiful
picture, a sunset, a rosebush, robin,
a sky full of stars, fine old melody,
a courtesy, generous deed or a good
book is better educated than boy or
girl could be without them, even II
he could work all the sums in algebra
and parse everything in Vergil Par
ents and educators should give more
heed to this view Of education, for it
is the phase Of it that makes life true.

Training the Horse

Horses should he educated or train
ed and never broken, according to DR..
G. w. McCamphell, associate profess
sor of animal husbandry at the Kan
sas state Agricu tural college When
one breaks horse he breaks its spirit
and the animal responds wholly
through fear.
The education of colt should be-
gin when it is but few days old.
The first step should be to teach it to
be led This will not take long and
1t is a lesson that, the animal will
never forget. Under average farm
condi ions draft colts are not handled
until they are ready to work and in
this case all they know is TO respond
to the halter.
Successful horse training depends
principally upon two things horse
sense rs per cent and patience IS per
cent, points out this authority. When
these Two are combined it is compare
lively easy to train or educate any or
binary horse. 1t may seem foolish or
sentimental to some to say that a
horse properly broken enters work
with enthusiasm while the one broken
by the force method works because he
is afraid to do otherwise, but it is the
truth nevertheless.
