HOW no MAKE HIM DUNE.

It's a wonder children ever accomplish any
thing when they grow up, considering how

early youth.
It's bad psychology on the part of parents,
this endless stream of don't" 1t leaves last
ing impression on the young developing mind
generates a tendency to draw back and hest
tate whenever instinct prompts the child to
take the initiative.
Take baby, prowling into everything. This
isn't spirit of mischief, as most people be-
lieve. Rather, it's manifestation of the inqui-
sitive instinct that prompts to investigation,
discovery and progress.
The child approaches the unknown. He
wants to learn. His brain Graves knowledge OF
the thing that has attracted his eye. Just as
he reaches for new knowledge, he is startled
by Tut tut!" or Mama spank"
Achild naturally cannot be allowed to pry
into everything. Nor can he be permitted to
tear the house down and wreck the furnish
ings to crafty his curiosity.
But when he exhibits interest in something
that has never attracted him before, his lazy
parent should join him and assist in the ex-
ploration

GUN TOTERS BEWARE,

Gun toters got a lesson which they will not
soon forget in Kenosha one day last week when
Judge r. " Baker, sitting in the Municipal
Court, imposed fine of $50 each upon two
young men who came into court and pleaded
guilty to the charge. Revovers were found in
the pockets of these men and they were
loaded for business.
The young men gave as excuse that they
were carrying considerable sum in cash and
for that reason felt that they had a right to
tote gun for use in the event that they were
set upon by thugs Be that as it may, we be-
eve the court was exactly right in deciding
that it was no sufficient excuse for carrying q
gun
Many Kenoshans remember the day-and it
has not been so many years ago-that it was
not unusual to find a revolver in the pocket
Of some man picked up by the police In those
days 1T was also more customary to hear that
there was duel on some street corner in Ke-
nosha for fellows who carry guns usually find
that they have occasion to use them The DO
lice staged most successful campaign against
gun toters and eliminated them largely It
took lot of hard work on the part of the
police department to convince the young gen
try of the town who liked to strut around with
thirty eight" sticking out of their hip peck
ct, that this was contrary to law but this was
accomplished. 1t was not entirely unexpected
therefore that the shooting from ambush and
the like disappeared gradually from Kenosha.
Gut-toting should not be allowed to again
get foothold in Kenosha Whenever it threat
ems to crop out again, it should be severely
dealt with just as Judge Baker dealt with it
several days ago. This kind of medicine for
gun-toters will teach those inclined to flash a
gat, that it is serious thing to do in Kenosha

When little James falls and cuts
his head on the kitchen table or dad

aid treatment often prevents serious
consequences.
These chests should contain the
following items:
Cotton, adhesive plaster, gauze,
gauze bandage, Turkish towels, table
salt, mustard, cinnamon, tincture OF
iodine, powdered alum, boric acid,
baking soda, collodion, glycerin, car
bolic acid solution, tincture of arnica,
flaxseed meal, extract of witch hazel,

olive oil, glycerin suppositories (adult
and infant), camphor, ammonia,

While it is advisable to call a
doctor in the case of bad accident
every mother and father should be

the rule. No teacher would be permit
ted to teach students in the United
States that a monarchy is the only

would be permitted to Islander presi-
dents and libel our form Of govern

statesmen and soldiers of the Civil
war we're traitors; neither would
northern teacher be permitted to 90
from the north and teach in southern
school that the southern soldiersa nd

illustrations are sufficient to show that
teacher must respect the wishes Of
his employers on all subjects upon

suggest that teacher receiving paw

just powers from the consent OF the
governed Some seem to think that
schools are excepted from the control
of the people. Legislatures enact all
state laws, and in most states the de-
cision is made without the possibility
of referendum. Legislatures fix
the death penalty for crime and the
form and extent of other punishments.
Legislatures regulate marriage and di-
vorce, property rights, descent of
property, care of children, and all 9TH
er matters between citizens. Why are
our legislatures not competent to de-
eide what kind of schools are needed,
the requirements of teachers, and the
kind OF instruction that shall be given.
People Authorities.
If not the legislatures, then who
shall control? Boards of Education
1t is the legislature that authorizes
the election of boards and defines
their duties, and boards are elected
by the people or appointed by officials
elected by the people. All authority
goes back at last to the people; they
are the final source of authority.
Some have suggested that the scien-
lists should decide what shall be
taught. How many scientists are
there? And how shall their DEGREES be
proclaimed? Professor Steinmetz put
the number of scientists at about five
thousand; Professor Leuba, in one of
his books, puts the number at about
fifty-five hundred. The American So
ciety for the Advancement of Science
has about eleven thousand members,
but that includes Canadians as we'll as
citizens Of the United States. If the
number is put at eleven thousand, it
makes about one scientist for every
ten thousand peoples pretty little
oligarchy to put in control of the
education of all the children, espec-
tally when Professor Leuba declares
that over half of the scientists agree
with him in the belief that there is no
personal God and no personal immor-
tality.

SAVING THE BABIES.

Kenosha is a good place to be born.
This was demonstrated the other day when
the statistics made public by the State Board
of Health revealed that the baby death rate
is becoming less and less in Kenosha. The time
was when Kenosha did not rank SO high in this
important work; the records show that there
was time when II out of 1000 babies born in
Kenosha died in infancy. Now it is reassuring to
note that only So out of each thousand die in
infancy,
It has taken hard and consistent work on
the part of many agencies in Kenosha to bring
about this decrease in infant morality. The
Health Department of the city, the city nurs-
es, the Service League, the Hospitals and 9TH
err agencies have all done their work. It is no
more than fitting that they should be given a
word of credit now for this work.
In this work there is always room for i'm
provement. The records show that Beloit and
Madison rank just little higher in this work
than Kenosha. We are confident, however, that
Kenosha is now headed in the right direction
along the lines of protecting infant welfare
and we believe it will not be long when Ke-
nosha will lead this list as it does others.
"Save the Babies" is a slogan which Keno
sha may we'll add to it's list It looks as if it
has all ready become part of these slogans.
