More About Miss Chameleon

ONE BRIGHT, warm morning Miss
Chameleon hung by her tall from a
leaf-covered shrub and meditated on
what she was to do that day.

So, without wasting any more time
in thought, she pulled herself up to
the branch of the tree and stretched
herself out at ease. Hardly had she
made herself comfortable till she re-
allied that she should change her
dress.

.that I do not have to go to lot OF

turned her right eye up to watch for

and then she was settled for the day.
For you see Miss Chameleon was
far from q greedy creature, such as
many Of the animals Of the forest
were. She didn't have to think or
eating all the time-indeed no.
To be sure, she was not ayerse to

RULE OF DIRECT RESPONSIBILITY.

17HE man who is to become governor OF an eastern
state in a few days has had falling out with some
of the leading political lights of his party ap-
has been wise enough to tell the story while the
others in the remain silent far the public is con-
cerned The governor states he had taken into consdera
ton the recommendations of his party organization to
the heads Of institutions always considering the merits of
the and reserving the right irrespective of political
influence of removing any appointee shown to be unit
He objected however to interference in the selection

their own men, eff things do go right III appoint
head he said.
That is the way it is done in the business world. The
responsibility directly fixed In politics, though, it has
been almost the universal practice to not only the
head of the department but to most if not all his
subordnates One result is in lax discipline, which
spells anything but efficiency. Any appontee designated
in that feels he has Influence" above. Again,
those who the heads of departments if they have
important duties at hand do not have time to attend to
many of the details of the departments after they have
loaded the departmental heads with subordnates they
cannot surely control there is usually just enough inter-
ference in matters with which the powers not wholly
familiar in the attempted adjustment of difficulties they
have brought about to at least partially dsorganze.
That program is not always followed to build up political
machine When that is the object it be accomplished

lent management goes long ways toward dsarmng the

This may not be true in the smaller states where the

but it is true i'll most states Moreover the rule of direct
responsibility is applicable to many local governments

WHY u MEN FAIL.

It is unfortunate that every high school student, every
pupil IN the higher grades, every young man in American
Falls and every parent did not hear the Sunday night ser
mon by Rev. j. Wesley Miller, at the M. E. church. He did
not scold or criticize, but in a constructive way, using his
own experiences and observations as a basis, brought
home to all his hearers a realization of their own respOn-
slblity in the matter of preparing children to meet life.
Whether success or failure results is largely a matter
which lies with others than the child. The past generation
is responsible for the educational, social, business and re-
Egious environments of the present day. Those living now
are responsible for the conditions which will prevail dur
ing the coming two decades. How and why this is true
was forcibly and interestingly told. Any boy or girl,
young man or young woman attending school, who might
apply the lessons he taught, might be taken out of the fail
ue class and made into successes. Our schools are main
tanned to give a training which will make successes of our
young people. They do not always do so. Their plans are
often too general; they deal with numbers and not with
individuals. The address of Rev. Miller dealt with specif-
ic causes and their effects; it was practical, real lessons
from real life. 1t gave an insight that those present will
be able to apply to advantage all their lives. His subject
for Sunday evening is "The Young Man and His Oppor-
tunities" Weather should not be too cold to prevent any
high school student and every young man who has fin
ished school who feels that he is not making an entire sue
cess of life from attending.

COLLEGE FARMING.

Sons who do and not sires who have done are demanded
by the times. All of that wonderfully complex structure
which we call civilization all of that marvellous subsection
of the laws of nature to the will of man which has conquer
ed the wilderness, sounded the seas, mapped the moon,
bred the bacilis and anihilated distance belongs to the old
man and his forbears. But the maintenance of all this
and the worlds future development belongs to the youth.
The old man learned by the rule of thumb, his knowledge
came through his experience and time moved but slowly
for him. The young man learns by the rule of science, his
knowledge comes through the gathered experience of the
ages and the great clock of time shows him but one thing,
NOW. Last season there was produced more of crops,
more of human food, in one state than grew in the whole
United States under the methods of fifty years ago.
The old man CLEANED from his observation, his neigh
bors and his experience and was a tolerable farmer only
when life's autumn drew nigh. The young man CLEANS
from his teachers. his tests and his texts and is an expert
in four years with his lifetime before him. The old man
spent his life time and strength in acquiring that knowl-
edge which enabled him to live. The youth begins where
his sire ended and lives from the start with years for his
fellows. ,
The old man in his slow-won wisdom established the
farm school that his son might have advantage where him
self had lacked and this is extended till both are benefit
ted. It's long course is provided for the youth who must
develop while he learns; the short course for him who is
developed and needs enlightenment only while the Farm
ers' Week" brings both together for their common good.
