While other countries nave fostered
in every possible way all their indus
tries, the historians of the future will
have to record q period in the history
of the United States when the govern
ment and public opinion seemed desir.
u only of throwing obstacles in the
way of all great business enterprises.
The fact that certain evils did exist
does not SUN GENTLY justify this atti-
tude, says Leslie's Weekly. These
evils have now been rectified; business
men have sought to satisfy the public
in regard to all reasonable demands;
a changed attitude has gradually been
evolved toward business. and in the
new era of development awaiting
this country the captains of industry,
who will give to It the place OF undis-
puted leadership in the worlds mar.
kets, will once again be honored fol
their work.

Some persons are always in an un.
comfortable frame OF mind IL not
downright unhappy. And this even
when there is not any real cause : r
unhappiness or grief, but when small
o6enses or negligences to which no
second thought should be given are
magnified. Tho more one allows his
mind to dwell on these things, the
greater he fnds them. He views him.
self Is being always in the right, and
recounts the favors he has bestowed.
These so occupy him he forgets favors
received. With this disposition, a man
seldom stops at nursing his wrong
thoughts in his WI mind. He talks
of them to others. presenting the char.
acter of n with whom he is offended
in a wrong light. thereby doing an in
Justice. He Is SO filed with bitter
thought OF his grievance that his
gloomy face and dismal tone cast
gloom on those about him. He be-
m so morose that his company is
d~isagreeable. Others, observing his
disposition to take otense quickly, feel
that it may be their turn next to irri.
tate him. One cannot enjoy freedom
Of conversation when someone is
watching for sights. How much bet
ter it would be in the first place to
say, "He meant no offense," or Per.
haps he has troubles of his own that
make him negligent" Better first
look fairly at ones own conduct and
see If every work Or every act will
bear being weighed in the balance.

The Warren Associated Schools.

Anyone visiting the five schools
associated with the Warren schools,
will find much to commend in each.
In the first place, each teacher there
IN is showing keen interest in the
work of the school and is trying to
make it of benefit to the entire COM
munity.
The buildings themselves have
been cleaned and in some cases
painted and thoroughly repaired
within.
The Burnside school house is this
week undergoing a thoro and much
needed course of renovation and
seats suitable to the size of the
children are being put into the build
ing.
The patrons believe that the room
where the children spend so much of
their time from the age Of 6 to 16
years should be made as comfortable
and as beautiful as possible.
It is little less than criminal to
allow a child to sit in a seat where
his feet must dangle in the air with
out support for six hours each day.
Nothing could be more conducive to
curvature Of the spine, round should
ers and the resulting cramped chest
capacity. It is just as incumbent
upon school officers and teachers to
look after the physical as it is the
intellectual welfare of the child.
In visiting these schools, we have
been pleased to note the systematic
and orderly manner in which the
children pass to and from the school
room.
Three of these schools have had
basket socials and the money thus
J raised is being used to get some
thing useful for the school.
Miss Mabel Carney, state inspect
or Of the high school Normal depart
ment, is visiting some Of these
schools this week.
