EASY TO MIsJUDGE CHILDREN
Youngsters Called "stupId" In Early
Years Have Later Been Found
Possessed Of Genius.

Let me remind you of the sufferings
Of the stupid" child. Real stupidity
Is a great affliction, but one which
rarely receives the sympathy it stands
so much in need Of. Now, many chill
dren who are thought stupid are not
stupid at all. They may have certain
defects Of a physical nature which can
be remedied, or their schooling and ed
ucation in general is Of kind that
is not adapted to their special needs.
If juggling with figures, enormously
called arithmetic, Is made test Of in
telligence. then the constructive or ar
tistic genius Of child may remain un-
discovered; and If parents and teach
ers judge those children to be bright
who can. by so-called parsing, arrange
the dead bones of the language in ar
tificiai order, or who shine out from
the others by brilliant Rotations and
unchildlike discussions Of adult prob
lens at graduation exercises, then the
dreamer the philosopher and the poet
will pass for ounces.
1t is only too true that many of our
greatest minds have been considered
absolute failures during their school
career, not to say in the homes Of their
childhood. How many Of them had to
assert their native excellency against
the most violent resistance of those
who were too blind to perceive the d.
vine spark in their children's souls?-

Odd Mascot That History Records as

There is in the history of the state
of Kentucky an odd incident in con

by the Kentucky troops in 1872. A
company Of volunteers, destined fol-
Selby's army, assembled at Harrods
burg and formed nucleus around
which the military recruits Of the
country gathered on the march to the
Ohio.
On the outskirts of the town named

two pigs fighting and delayed the
march to watch the combat. When the
march recommended 1t was observes
that the victorious pig was following
the company; and when the men en-

near at hand. OF course the soldiers

the pig followed them, and this 1t did
daily on the march to the river.

TAMPERLNG WITH ELECTION LAWS

The announced intention n the part of the Republicans in the
state legislature to tamper with the election laws during the coming
session should put the people on their guard to see that none of the
advantage gained are taken away from them. The direct primary
may not be all that was expected of it, but it is far better than the old
convention system dominated by one or two corporations through the
political bosses of each party.
Whatever changes are made let it be constructive rather than de-
structve. If any of the legislators have ideals for Strengthening the
primary laws let the proposed changes be presented to the public that
they may be thoroughly discussed in the open before any attempt is
made to jam them through the legislature.
There is no doubt that the political bosses would like to see the
direct primary abolished. To be sure, the Organization is able to
put its candidates across pretty much as it used to, but it is a great
deal harder and it costs the machine a great deal more money to ac-
complsh its purpose. Then, too, the people have their opportunity to
overthrow the machine at any time they desire. The direct primary,
as a principle, has come to stay. If it can be improved and strength
ened, all well and good, but the public must be convinced that it is
being improved and strengthened before they will tolerate any change.
The plan advanced last year and which was partly adopted to
various sections of the state where it was given a fair trial that there
is reason for charging on this proposition this year. The Use of the
school houses for voting was a decided improvement, especially in the
large cities. There are excellent reasons why the IS of school teach
ers, including the women, should be extended next year.
There is no question that an improvement can be made in pro-
yiding for the soldier vote. The mixup in Hudson county last fall
shows what differences may occur. The legislature might well iron
out a few wrinkles in this feature of the election laws.
The one great Improvement, however, is in the way of a consu-
tutonal amendment providing for assembly districts in each county.
Here is the great work to be done this year. The advantage of the
assembly districts is apparent. 1t concentrates each locality on one
man for the assembly who is known to the people of that locality. 1t
divides the representation throughout the county and it gives the can
ddate a chance to make a personal appeal to each individual voter.
The assembly district proposition is the one big thing to be put across
in the way Of improving the election laws. 1t would be well to go
slow regarding any other changes at this time.
