PARIS. MAINE. TUESDAY. MARCH Is. 1898
liug's Jungle Book Is Oft repeated In our
hOusehOld:
'sNow these are the laws Of the jungle,
And many and mighty are they.
But the head and the hump of the law

"Now these are the laws Of the jungle,
And many and mighty sre they.
But the head and the hump OF the law
And the haunch and the hoof is ooey."
But, on, the mistakes of punishment !!
In this connection let me quote from the
sunday School Times: "ReprOOf or
punishment should never be given for
the relief Of the feelings Of authority,
but always. and evidently, for the good
of the disobedient. To punish child in
anger cuts both ways, aud, unlike the
twice blest droppings OF mercy, Is doubly
bad, cursing him that gives and him
that takes. Punishment should be meted
according to the degree Of the offense,
aud not according to the nature OF an.
uoyance. Justice ls not mercurisl and
explosive, or self-absorbed. Its business
IL not to relieve It's own tension. u
should be serene, and certsln, and quiet
eyed. Think twice, and pray three times
before Furnishing child"
The last (and perhaps the most Inn
portant) of our fears is for the morals OF
our children at school. But this IL 3
something for which the busy teacher OF
fifty or sixty active pupils Is not TO be
held very largely responsible In pro-
portion 10 the mothers own inhu-
ence, for, after all, the influence OF the
teacher, as proportioned to the mothers,
u on the basis OF time alone. Is but NJ
one to ten. And the child who IL rightly
fortified In his heart, from within, Is not
likely to be hurt from without.
But In this connection | would like to
add n practical suggestion as to the ad-
visibility OF n wise oversight OF the
school ysrd during recess and the noon
hour, and TO the absolute prohibition Of
rudeness, boisterousness, bullying,
swearing and obscenity--fsults that In
their root are TO be blsmed TO the parent,
but which scar the soul Of n child even
To hear.
To sum up all at the end, school teach
Ing Is not brick making. The little
minds are not so many moulds, all to be
filled alike with the same clay. And yet
from another view IL is brick making
bricks that mold men and women, homes
and nations.
1t is q noble work, and one In which
the teacher should be nObly sec
onded BY the parent-and cannot help
thinking that II parents would send the
right kind Of children to school, the
and the teacher would

WAS not little surprised at the atti-
tude OF Rev. ID. l.. Moody on the liquor
question 10 his address before the stu
dents OF Yale recently. He Is quoted as
saying: AS to the liquor question, be-
lieve In local option. Ifsatisfactory strong
moral sentiment can be secured TO keep
Il from being dead letter, am In favor
OF prohibition. But IN states where there
is a large city, you can't enforce stat
utory prohibition because Of the lack Of
moral sentiment. II Il could be enforced
I wish New Haven would vote So"
Now, Mr.. Editor, II cannot be denied
that the liquor trsfiic l. one OF the great
eat evils that ever cursed the earth. The
d-y.ststion and ruin II has caused has
left \ scared spot In nearly every local
ity in the universe. All moral, intel
i.ctusl and spiritual forces have been
hlighted by this dsmnsble scourge
Nor. homes have been sacrificed and
NOR. carried In An untimelv grave nv
thi. iuhumsn rr .ffic than by all other
evil forces combined; and yet one OF the
gre ,test ev ,ng-lists OF the sge declares
for local option, becsu.e Of the lack Of
moral sentiment TO enforce statutory
prohihitorv Laws.
Would Mr.. Moody give Us to UNDER
stand that local option should hold SWAY
until moral sentiment comes TO the front
and decl,res In thunder tones, Thus fsr
snd no fsrther"s At what age 10 the
coming centuries would this desired re-
suit occur: IL not the moral sentiment
Of community made up Of individual
sentiment? What great moral. political
or social reform WAS ever brought to
successful issue that WAS not in Its In
cipient stages single-hsnded venture?

with God Is mightier than all the hosts
Of sin.
Have our large cities become so cor
rupt, so demorslized, 80 filed with
snarchism, as TO defy the law and chsl-
lenge Its enforcement? God forbid.
Let all law-sbiding citizens, Of whatever
name or order. arise In their might and
relegate to the rear the money power Of
the rum seller and the votes he controls,
which have served In so large degree
to hold the execution of the prohibitory
law in sbeysnce, and place men In official
position who will not be corrupted by
those destructive elements, and who will
prove themselves competent to enforce
all statutory law, and there will be no
lack of moral sentiment TO sustain them.
