MAY SIMPLIFY SCHOOL ELEMENTARY COURSE Serious proposal is made, by a measure introduced into the Legislature at Sacramento, to limit elementary school courses in California. The studies that would be included in the proposed new course of study, which was introduced by Senator Harris, of Fresno, are: Reading, writing, spelling, language study, arithmetic, geography, history of the United States and of California, clivics, including the United States Constitution, music, art, training for healthful living, morals and manners, and three other subjects to be designated by local school boards. At present from twenty-five to twenty-seven studies are included in elementary courses. Many educators are convinced that this is too many studies, and that the number should be decreased. It is well to strive for thoroughness. And thoroughness could not be had with more than a score of subjects on the elementary-school bill of fare. So many studies is apt to produce mental indigestion. It is noted that this proposed new elementary course provides for training in healthful living, morals and manners. This phase of teaching most surely should be included in any elementary course. The welfare of the body, mind and morals of the pupil, as well as good manners, should be looked after.

They are the courteous, thoughtful ones. Courtesy is a sweet fragrance that perfumes the atmosphere about one. Let the task be ever so hard, but if those whom one meets are polite and thoughtful, one forgets the hardness of the task. Courtesy is a wonderful asset in business. It literally pays. Men and women will go out of their way to do business with a courteous person. Courtesy attracts patronage and holds it. Courtesy in social life is a lubricant, making the social machinery move without friction or grating. Unfailing courtesy is the greatest asset man or woman can have in achieving and holding popularity. Teach the children to be courteous. It adorns character. It aids greatly in achieving success in life. It gives happiness and brings happiness. Why not call some of them emotion pictures? Talking "hard times" and thinking "hard times" helps to make "hard times."

Born May 17, 1885, a posthumous child, his father, King Alfonso XII having died in Nov., 1885, Alfonso XIII has been Spain's nominal king since the moment of his birth, a position unique in history. Due to the seclusion and the false instruction to which he was subjected in childhood he came to appear to the Spanish masses to be the paragon of haughty despotism, a king caring only for the external magnificence of his court. Moreover, sports were, little understood in Spain, especially at this period of her history; and the fact that her monarch was devoted to polo, fond of riddling, shooting and motoring aroused suspicion and distrust among the Spanish subjects. At the age of 20 after an extensive tour of the Europen courts in search of a bride, the young King was married at Madrid to Queen Victoria's granddaughter, Princess Ena of Battenburg. About this time it was noticed the King developed an unusual thirst for knowledge of things political and in the opinion of certain politicians matters went from bad to worse. He actually insisted on visiting the remotest parts of his kingdom in order to understand specific problems at first hand. He let it be known that he had the people's interests at heart and with great courage he carried out his policy. From the first day of the World War, King Alfonso showed he was wholehearted on the side of the allies. Although he vigorously maintained, as Monarch, a proper attitude of neutrality, he personally went farther in assisting the al- navigable rivers. In consequence of this absurd of rule or principle, it is apparent that one side is at present often wrong as the other; and interference of governments with about equal frequency, properly invoked and improvised condemned. John Stuart Mill expounded principle that the sole end which mankind is warranted, vividly or collectively, in fering with the liberty of action of any of his number, is self-fection. "The only purpose for w power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civil community, against his will, and prevent harm to others," he h "His own good, either physic or moral, is not a sufficient rant." "He cannot be rightfully pelled to do or forbear because will be better for him to do because it will make him happy because, in the opinions of others to do so would be wise, or right. These are good reasons demonstrating with him or persuading or entreating him, but not compelling him, or otherwise do that, the conduct from whom it is desired to deter him must calculated to produce evil to so one else. "The only part of conduct any one, for which he is am able to society, is that which cerns others. In the part who merely concerns himself, his pendence is, of right, absolute." "Over himself, over his b and mind, the individual is u ereign." It is hardly necessary to that this doctrine is meant to apply only to mature human beings. Those who are still in a state require being taken care of others, must be protected against their own action as well against external injury. DINNER STORIES One of the witnesses before grand jury appointed to inquiry into a case of alleged bribery a local election stated that he received $25 to vote Republican and in cross-examination it elicited that he had also received $25 to vote Democrat. The jury foreman, in amendment, repeated: "You say you received $25 vote Republican?" "Yes, sir." "And you also received $25 vote Democrat?" "Yes, sir." "And for whom did you vote the finish?" I should say so," returned the latter, and added, without full consideration, "When I send out the invitations to my wedding I shall have printed in the corner, 'No babies expected.'"

HEALTH & DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" DESSERTS One of the most harmful dishes found on the average table today is some kind of tasty, sweet food, served at end of the meal and called "dessert." This is usually a palatable, pleasing mixture which one can eat easily even after a hearty meal on account of the agreeable flavor. PUDDINGS are always made from some combination of sugar and starch, and this combination is one of the worst from the standpoint of physiological chemistry, because fermentation will always take place. In addition to the sugar being added to the starch some kind of fruit juice is often thrown in which makes the combination even worse. FRUIT WHIP may be made from either prunes, figs, apples, pineapple, pears, apricots or berries, by mincing or grating up any of these fruits and adding them to the white of an egg which has been well beaten. They should be beaten in thoroughly with the whife of the egg, and it is not necessary to add any other seasoning. Prune whip is about the only kind that is commonly used, but it is altogether spoiled from a dietetic standpoint by the addition of an extra amount of sugar, which is not only unnecessary but actually produces an almost sickening flavor. You will find that any of these fruits may be prepared in the same way as the prunes, without the addition of any sugar. They may be served with a small amount of cream if desired. STEWED FRUITS make an excellent dessert, if one is desired, but you must see to it that this is not added to a meal which has already made you feel full. The addition of this kind of desert should not be made if it causes you to feel stuffy, as it will set up digestive disturbance no matter how perfect its combination may be with the other food.

As they rounded the turn the woman called Mike. "Please help me down." With some difficulty Mike complained the feat. She panted up to the foot of the tree. The she stood gacing upward for moment, and then in a loud, elec voice called out: "O tree, I salute thee." Then she went back to the horse. "Help me up, please," she said to Mike. They accomplished the mounting with even more difficulty than at first and moved forward. "What did you say, Mike?" another guide inquired when Mike told the story. "I said nothing." replied Mike; but I just thought I'd hate to tell the fellier to guide her through California redwoods." THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1925 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying ATTACKS ON CALIFORNIA UNJUST—Stockton Independent While there is an active advertising campaign in California to bring settlers and tourists to this state, there is a counter propaganda in the East to keep their people at home. For the next hundred years these two movements may be expected to go on, with diminishing energy. When the saturation point of population is reached, the situation will be reversed, and all parts of the country will be encouraging the export of population—if there is any place left to go. Since people pay, and will continue to be profitable during the present century at least, it is natural that there will be a conflict of interest between the East and the West. That contest, however, ought to be carried on without misrepresentation. Unfortunately it is not being so carried on, especially in the middle states. The hoof and mouth disease, the doubtful cases of plague along the Mexican border, and the forest fires were all magnified east of the Rockies in a quite conscious and deliberate effort to keep people from coming to California. The last canard in the East is that tourists visiting California can be taxed for all they own under a new law. The reference is to the constitutional amendment affecting securities of California residents. The amendment does not apply to non-residents, and moreover, it authorizes the Legislature to reduce the present tax applicable to securities held by residents. The propaganda has been broadcast to such an extent that M. D. Lack, secretary of the State Board of Equalization, has deemed it advisable to issue a statement in disproof and denial. He said. The fact is, there was no law adopted by the people at the last election which brings into taxation any property which has not been taxable for many years. Neither dos this nor any other law of California, make the securities of intangible property 'non-residents,' 'tourists,' 'sojourners,' or 'temporary visitors,' as these articles style them, taxable in this state." After explaining the purpose of the amendment, he concludes with the parting shot: "It is difficult to understand how a law conceived and carefully designed to relieve the tax burden on these classes of property could by any system of reasoning, however faulty, be constructed to do the exact opposite thing and be also mistakenly and absurdly set up as an attempt to cover properties and classes not by any stretch of the imagination embraced therein." GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE EDUCATION IN EDUCATION It is because the body is a machine that education is possible Huxley held. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organization upon the natural organization of the It is difficult to understand how a law conceived and carefully designed to relieve the tax burden on these classes of property could by any system of reasoning, however faulty, be constructed to do the exact opposite thing and be also mistakenly and absurdly set up as an attempt to cover properties and classes not by any stretch of the imagination embraced therein. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE EDUCATION IN EDUCATION It is because the body is a machine that education is possible Huxley held. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organization upon the natural organization of the body; so that acts, which at first required a conscious effort, eventually become mechanical. Ignorance is visited as sharply as wilful disobedience—incapacity meets with the same punishment as crime, he believes. Nature's discipline is not even a word and a blow, and the blow first; but the blow without the word. It is left to you to find out why your cars have been boxed." Huxley, who opined all artificial education ought to be an anticipation of natural education, said that man has a liberal education who has been so trained in his youth that his body is the ready servant of his will, and does with ease and pleasure all of the work that, as a mechanism, it is capable of; whose intellect is a clear, cold, logic engine, with all its parts in smooth working order; ready like a steam engine to be turned to any kind of work and spin the gossamers as well as forge the anchors of the mind; whose mind is stored with knowledge of the great fundamental truths of Nature and of the laws of her operations; one who is full of life and fire, whose passions are trained to come to heel by a vigorous will, the servant of a tender conscience; who has learned to love all beauty, whether of Nature or of art, to hate all vileness, and to respect others as himself. To him it is not a question whether one order of study or another should predominate, he once told students. It is a question of what topics of education you shall select which combine all the needful elements in such due proportion as give the greatest amount of good, support and encouragement to those faculties which enable us to appreciate truth, and to profit by those sources of innocent happiness which are open to us; and, at the same time, to avoid which is bad, and course, and ugly, and keep clear of the multitude of pitfalls which break through the natural or moral laws. "In an ideal university, the force of living example should fire the student with a noble ambition to emulate the learning of learned men, and to follow in the footsteps of he explorers of new fields of knowledge. "And the very air he breathes should be charged with that enthusiasm for truth, that fascination of veracity, which is a greater possession than much learning; a nobler gift than the power of increasing knowledge; by so much greater and nobler than these, as the moral nature of man is greater than the intellectual; for veracity is the heart of morality."
