for children that they may be induced
to choose home rather tnan Street ramb.
ling and visi1iu4 places ct questionable
propriety. There should be 10 ueces-
sity for compulsory inetsurts to keep
children at home ard ye. il would be
better to use mid comppIh!on than to
let them have their free will if lliey are
inclined to seek pleasure Elsewhere.
Children are queer, funny Little crea
lures who are either anNain} or oitend
ing their parents making them glad or
making them sad But how are chill
dren 10 be amused AMI made T." love
home as the dearest and hest spot on
earth? They cannot be expected TO sit
like statue and read history and the
newspapers during all these long winter
evenings, though this wOnld naturally
come in as part Of the evening pro-
gram. There are school lessons t. learn
but this should not take up more than
half an hour at the farthesl. After an
hour or more spent in lessons and read
ing the news of the day thcre is still
an hour or two left according 10 the
time of retiring which should not he
later than ten O'Clock. How 20 spend
the balance Of the time is the question.
We hold that innocent amusement
should have large space on the even
ing program. They are corrective
for many abuses and evils that gra1u
ally creep into the character of the
young. A great many of our American
people who arr extremely correct in
their department and b,du.rle,s in
character have warped and crude no
tions in regard to amuseb it,. Thrir
homes abound in everything s2"pt ia.
