We do not know whether prOfane
swearing Is distinctively national vice
or not, but we do know that 1t Is dis
gustlngly prevalent. As a habit 1t de-
serves the Reproduction OF all sane and
healthy minds. 1t IL coarse and vul-
gar practice even regarded apart from
ethical considerations. The small boy
INDUCES In prOfane language because
he thinks 1t smart to dare the canOns
of profanity In speech, but too often
when he becomes man he ceases to
put away this childish and revolving
thing. What no does at first from a
false and immature motive becomes
later In life confirmed habit that Of.
ten marks him to others as person Of
much coarser fiber than he really Is.
