The Gospel of Health

The gospel of health ought to be
preached from every pulpit, taught in
every school and lived up to in every
home, says Good Housekeeping. Yet
how seldom is it mentioned by the
preacher, how it is violated by the
school, how neglected in the home! The
principal of private school, of high
repute for its success in fitting for col
lege, admonished her overworked class:
Your lessons are more important than
your health" Several parents heard of

reflected the institutions policy, and
they wisely withdrew their daughters
from the school. Health is the most es-
sent1al purpose OF development in chill.

Red skins and white skins alike s,lf-

place on the Sabbath
Although the whipping occurred in
the colonial days with what seems to
us shameful frequency, there was some
limit put upon it; not more than 40
stripes were permitted at one time.
Slaves were corrected at the whip
ping-post. When the civil war put an
end to slavery, the post fell into dis
use in the south, save in Maryland.
Delaware, too, retained it for some
time. These states have been con-
demned for keeping it, but Delaware
to-day stoutly maintains that it is
the one thing that successfully deals
with wife-beaters and other cruel
criminals.
Perhaps as ignOminiOus a punish
ment as ever was invented was the
pillory, concerning which Hawthorne
declares there can be no outrage more
fragrant than to forbid the culprit to
hide his face for shame. Forced to
stand in the most public spot in the
village, with the head held in wise,
the culprit must have been very
hardened indeed that did not feel
broken in spirit Often the rabble
made a target of the victim, who.
wholly defenseless, had to endure
double torture. History tells us not
only of criminals being pilloried in
England, but of martyrs of note, Pur-
itans and also those made to suffer
during the Reformation. In New Eng
land the pillory was commonly en-
ployed, and also in the southern
states; the offenseS that would bring
one to this disgrace were numerous;
cheating, stealing, making counterfeit
money, "regrating" (speculating, re-
selling), perjury. The pillory lin
gered on in this country for awhile
after the beginning of the nineteenth
century.
We have come to regard the duck
ing-stool as mode of punishment in
stituted for subduing women scolds,
but history tells us scolds of both
sexes were subjected to it's ignominy.

shadow of the pillory has an effect

Other states, moved to it by the
many cases of wife-beating, have pro-
posed like return to the whipping
post. Such bill was proposed in the
Massachusetts legislature and also in
the legislature of Connecticut. A few
years ago there was introduced in the
Maryland legislature a bill embracing
the adoption of the whipping post as
a method for furnishing wife-beaters,
which had the effect of almost entire
ly doing away with the beating in
that state.
The man that has strenuously advo-
Gated such measure is himself a
bachelor, but a bachelor that, stands

Congressman Adams, of Pennsylvania.
When years ago, Mr.. Adams, as
member of the legislature of Penn
sylvania, introduced a bill providing
for the punishment of wife-beaters at
the whipping-post, he brought down
upon himself an avalanche of crlti-
cism. 1t was contended that his pro-
posed measure was unconstitutional
under the prohibition of cruel and I'M
usual punishments. Philanthropists
decried it as opposed to the humane
spirit of the age. The police and
police magistrates seemed the only
approvers, but Mr.. Adams declared
that it would only be matter of time
when there would be a general dis
position to regard it seriously as the
most effective check upon a mean and
cowardly crime" Recently he has
taken opportunity to bring forward

report, and analyses its figures, he will
soon discover that he has been the recip-
lent of the bounty of kindly men whom
he never knew and who never heard of
him-men whose love for their fellows
led them to give their money to the col
lege for the benefit of all who might ap-
ply. A typical case is that of one of the
smaller colleges. which pays S28, ZOO a
year in salaries alone to the professors.
and receives in tuition from the students
only $4,000. In several of the large col
leges the disparity between the cost of
instruction and what is received in
tuition Is so great that they are serious
ly considering raising the rate of tuition,
SO that the annual deficit may not be
quite so large. 1t is not the college stu
dent alone who is dependent on the
benefactlons of others besides his par
ents. Civilization itself is the product of
all the kindly efforts of those who have
gone before-efforts made with the more
or less conscious purpose of benefiting
the children of the future. When the
fact of dependence dawns on the mind
the sentiment of gratitude is aroused.
