Mr.. Woodbury. divided the main
part of his address into five semi
topics, the first letters of which
spelled the word habit and were:
Honesty, ambition. beauty Gin a har-
monious life), industry and thrift.
Mr.. Woodbury's address was told in
a simple manner so that the younger
people might understand and COM
prehcnd it. BY the raising of the
right hand the young people eX-
pressed their appreciation to Mr..
Woodbury. The boys of the ri Sig
ma club sang THE Building SorG

hegan- Ma olson schools. who took for
his subject Habit" In opening his
address Mr.. Woodbury. stated that Is
years ago he listened to an address
on Habit" saying he still remem-
bered much of the address. He said
that habit is. like fire, good servant
but a hard master: that a bad habit
was bad thing but it could be got
ten rid of and that a good habit
could be tremendous help.
Mr.. Woodbury. explained the
psychology of habit by illustrating
how an idea is formed in the brain
and is directed to the muscles which
perform the act as directed by the
brain, relating that the idea trav-
eled in a little path from the brain
to the muscle, and likened this path
to a rut in the frozen ground made
by an auto passing over it many
times. So, he said. the habit was
formed in the path made by the idea
passing.

'I've put Tanlac to tho test four

CHAMBERLAIN GIVES
REASON FOR RESIGNATION
SECRETARY MONTAGU

London, March 13-Austen Cham
berain, government leader in the
ouse of commons, told the members
this afternoon that Mr.. Montagu'S
resignation had nothing to do with
the merits of the policy advocated by
the government of India, but only
with the publication on hfs sole re-
sponsibility, without consulting the
prime minister or the cabinet, OF a
telegram which raised questions, the
Importance of which extended far
beyond the frontiers of India.
This was in reply to a question as
to whether, in view Of the effect upon
the Mohammedans of Secretary Mon
tagu's resignation, some decisive re-
pudiation of lack of sympathy with
the Moslems of India on the part of
the government might be expected.
The government, Mr.. Chamberlain
added, had given careful and SYM
pathetic consideration to the views
of the government Of India and of
the Indian Mohammedans with the
object of securing a just and hon.
orable peace between the beligerents
in the Near East.
Discussing Mr.. Montagu's speech
of last Saturday, Mr.. Chamberlain
declared the former secretary gave
no hint TO Lord Curzon, secretary for
foreign affairs, that there was still
time TO stop publication of the tele-
gram from the government of India.
Had he done SO, continued Mr.. Cham
berlain, steps would have been taken
Immediately to prevent its publica-
ton.
Reviewing the sequence Of events
leading up to Mr. Montagu's resig-
nation Mr.. Churchill said the first
telegram was received from the gov
crnment of India at the India office.
March l, and that Mr.. Montagu APP
pcarcd to have given instructions 10
circulate it to the members Of the
cabinet two days later. The second
telegram from the Indian govern
ment was received at tie India Office
March !. asking permission for i'm
mediate publication of the first tele-
gram.
Mr.. Chamberlain sail he believed
that Mr.. Montagu was in the country
at the time and the second telegram
was communicated to him. Where
upon he said, Mr.. Montagu directed
the India Office to send the telegram
in his name authorizing publication
that day. He said Mr.. Montagu's
message was a private telegram, ow-
ing to his absence from London. and
it was stated that he would telegraph
officially March g. At the cabinet
meeting of March g. Mr.. Chamber
lain said, Lord Curzon spoke to Mr..
Montagu about the question of pub
fishing the Indian governments first
telegram and that Mr.. Montagu re-
piled:
con, 7 authorized it on Saturday,
Mr.. Chamberlain repudiated the
suggestion of Josiah Clement Wedge
wood that the reasons publicly given
for the resignation of Mr.. Montagu
were a preteXt. as the government
found it desirable to get rid of Mr..
Montagu. Mr.. Chamberlain stated
that Lord Curzon intended replying
to Mr.. Montagu's statements in the
house of lords tomorrow,
