HUMANE TEACHING
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Thoughts Worthy Of Consideration
BY Every Man and wo-
man in Utah.


what is the use of teaching Kindness
10 our dumb animals in our public
schools?
Answer: The eminent French teacb-
er, DeSailly, says that when he began
TO teach kindness TO animals in his
schools he found his pupils became not
only kinder 10 animals, but also kinder
10 each other
In large Scottish school in Edin-
ourgh, out of about 1000 pupils care
fully taught kindness TO the lower ami
mails, IL was found that not one had
ever been charged with a criminal Of
Tense in any court.
Out Of 1000 criminals inquired of In
American prisons a short time ago, It
was found that only twelve had any
pet animals during childhood.
Edward Everett Hale says: 1--WE are
al in the same boat both animals and
men. You cannot promote kindness TO
one without benefiting the other" Rev.
DR.. Hedge of Harvard university writes
of humane educational work: II
greatly approve of It, which seems 10
be the best charity Of the day"
WHAT has made the Quakers humane
How happened IL that while all the
other American colonies" were at war
with the Indians. the Quakers, under
William Penn alone maintained with
them the most peaceful relations?
Is there anything which strikes more
directly at the roots of wars, riots,
anarchy and every form of cruelty than
humane education OF children? II you
admit that humane education OF chill
aren IS good thing. the next question
Is how TO accomplish IT. Can you do II
by telling children they ought to be

the UTAH OUTLOOK.

Us THE HEAT and burden Of the
Il campaign in Utah draws nearer the
prospect for the election Of the Demo-
cratic ticket improves. Rent by dissen-
sions. the Republicans cannot hope to
poll anything like as many votes as
they polled four years ago. A short
time since a Democratic victory in this
state seemed impossible. Today il lacks
much of being impossible. There are
many who now believe it is not only
possible. but probable.
IL the Democrats gain as heavily IN
Utah as they did in Maine. and the
Republican increase is the same as in
that state, the Democrats win carry
Utah by a plurality of more than 5000
votes. To reduce the proposition to
figures: In 1900 a., 139 votes were cast
for Mckinley in this state and A, 006
for Bryan. In Maine this year the Re
publicans gained 5 per cent and the
Democrats "a per cent. That ratio
would give the Republicans this year
AZ, 495 and the Democrats 55.SO6.
The Herald will be satisfied with a
smaller Democratic plurality than 5000
votes. 1t viii be pleased, indeed, If the
Democrats carry the state by half that
number. But. given freedom from I'M
fair and improper influences, for in
stance freedom from the influence that
forms the foundation for the new party
that has just been organized, the Dem
ocrats should carry Utah with plenty
of votes TO spare There are thousands
Of Republicans who openly declare they
Will not vote the Smoother ticket.
Mr.. Spry, chairman of the Republic
can state committee, is on record as
saying that he viii win over two Nor
mon Democrats to the Republican
cause for every Republican who votes
against the Republican nominees.
Whether Mr.. Spry Will be able to make
his threat-for it is a threat-good or
not remains TO be seen. And just how
Mr.. Spry proposes 10 accomplish this
also remains to be seen.
We repeat that unless Mr.. Spry is
able TO bring sufficient influence to bear
20 change the votes Of the Democrats
he refers to. Utah will surely Sbe a
Democratic state this fall. The Demo-
crats are united and alert. Their cam
paign is in charge Of keen, level
beaded business men, who know how 70
take advantage of every opportunity.
Their nominees are clean, capable men
who, if elected, win give the state an
administration Of which it may be
proud, a representation I'm congress
that viii do something besides fight
against one another.
There is no reason why all Demo
Gratis should not support their ticket
heartily; there are reasons enough why
Republicans should support it. The
Democratic nominees are the creatures
OF no man, nor any mans machine. If
they are elected they viii go into Office
unhampered By any obligations Or
pledges that might prove embarrassing.
The Democratic ticket should be
elected

MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.

4 PRISONER, Alfred Beck. has just
\ been released from an English
prison. where he was about to begin
serving a second long term because he
had been convicted of duplicating a
crime for which ne had once before
been unjustly sent to prison Unjust
convictions are not, unfortunately. so
rare that they excite a great deal of
attention. But the story of Beck is Of
peculiar interest because the British
government recognized so clearly the
injustice done him that it has offered
him an indemnity of $4,000. Beck re-
fused the money on the ground that ne
ought TO have very much more.
Beck was arrested in 1896 on a charge
Of impersonating a nobleman and Sc
curing money and credit thereby. He
was sent 70 prison for seven years.
Three years ago his term expired. he
having received allowances for good
conduct, and he was leading a model
life when the police learned that the
crime of which Beck had been convict
Cd was being duplicated. Suspicion at
once Zen upon Beck, largely because he
was the first man the stupid officers
could place their hands on. Once more
he was convicted and was about to be
sentenced to a prison term Of fifteen
Years when another man, who gave his
name as John Smith, was caught in the
act Of impcrsonating "A nebleman.
Smith confessed that he was guilty
of the crimes for which Beck had been
convicted in 1896 and in 1904. An order
Of release. accompanied by a full par
don. was at once made out for Beck
and he is a free man today. Whether
he viii be able TO get more from the
government than the $4,000 offered him
remains to be seen. Certainly $40 600
is a very small sum to pay for running
z mans life. But Beck may count
himself lucky that he was not a citizen
Of the United States
Similar cases though perhaps not os
80 nagrant a character. have occurred
too often in this country. Men have
served long terms in prison and have
lived 10 have IL determined that they
were entirely innocent. More. innocent
men nave been hanged. But there is
10 record Of their receiving any COM
Densation whatever for their Injuries
in the case Of unjust imprisonment, nor
have the families of unjustIy executed
men been indemnihed.

the impression that the man who is re-
leased from prison, whatever the rea-
soe, Is 50 lucky 10 get out at all that
he ought not TO consider himself en-

good? Can YOU do It by telling them
they ought 10 love God, OF whom many
of them know but little? Can you do
II by telling them they ought TO love
fathers and mothers, many OF whom
are anything but lovabIe?
Please think and tell If you can find
2 better way under heaven for making
children merciful than by teaching
them constantly to do kind acts and
saying kind words to Gods lower crea-
lures. by whom they are surrounded.
and which they are meeting on the
streets and elsewhere many times each
day?
Please think again and tell US an
other thing. namely. whether every
kind of act we do and every kind word
we speak, which adds to the happiness
OF others, does not also add to our own
happiness. and when we teach the boy
or girl to be doing these kind acts and
saying these kind words a hundred
times a day to the lower animals. are
we not teaching what will make then
nwn lives happier? Is 1t not, then, de-
sirable to introduce this teaching into
our schools? Now. IL we find that hu-
name teaching ought TO be made a part
of the instruction in our schools, and
that no better way has thus far been
devised than to include in these teacn-
tnSs kindness to the lower animals.
how can we best teach it?
Answer: There has been formed al
ready in America" many thousands OF
bands Of mercy" They are in nearly
every country throughout the land
They teach by picture, song and story
Kindness beth TO our own race and
every harmless living creature. They
can be formed in any school in ten min
utes. II costs practically nothing t.
form them. and only as much or little
time as Is found profitable need be Civ
en- them.
In conclusion. then. please carefully
consider: First, whether you can f1nc
anything more likely to prevent cruelty
and bring happiness into the lives OF
those taught than humane education?
il Is certain that the prevention ol
domestic and foreign wars, and every
form of cruelty in the future, is to de-
pend largely on the humane education
we now give the children in our public
and private schools. Is it not equally
certain that the future strength ant
vitality of all benevolent institutions
| for prevention and relief OF human
suffering is to depend largely on this
same humane EDUCATION.

Kindly bear in mind the fact that it

Republicans when they hope to gain

that when they need the votes they
