The Colored Supplement Horror.

A writer, quoted in American
Motherhood, says OF the colored sup:
plement which accompanies so many
Sunday papers: 1T would not be sc
bad II these wretched perYersions OF
so innocent and helpful relish to
life as the comic only reached per-
sons of mature life. Even readers
whose time Is so Valueless that they
can afford to waste more than
glance at a. Sunday supplement must
realize how worthless pictures of this
sort really are. 1t Is the children
who suffer, for they absorb uncon-
sciously the unsavory quality of such
efforts to amuse, and are thus the
involuntary victims of voluntary and
responsible corruptionists. At time
when this country Is seriously trying
to implant knowledge Of and stimu-
late a taste for better things, artis-
tic and aesthetic, through exhibitions
in museums, Libraries. and even Sun
day schools, it Is not little disheart-
ening to realize that every step in
this direction gets a weekly setback
through these colored atrocities.
There are certain negative re-
suits at least that parents have a
right to expect from every educative
force that Is brought to bear on their
children; that these children shall
not be deliberately taught disrespect
for old age, or for physical infirmi-
ties and deformities; that they shall
not learn to cherish contempt for
other races or religions than their
own; that they shall not take salts
faction in the tormenting of animals
or weaklings. A morbid
gloating over the deficiencies and hui
Mutations of our neighbors is pretty
sure to develop vulgarlty and lax
moral fibre in ourselves"
Another writer, speaking through
the same magazine, says of the charm
these colored pages have for children:
THE thought came to me that the
charm lay In the contin-
ued action of the pictures.
The child Is interested In what things
do, rather than In what things are,
ChIldren's books and periodicals
show that action in pictures is be-
coming more and more popular. In
the latest pictures the characters are
all doing something;
movement appeals to the child; HIS
first stories are pictures, and for a
long time after they cease to be the
only ones he reads, they remain his
favorites. The best story In words
will usually make tho best story In
pictures II it covers only a short
period in time, and is not wanting in
movement. The standard OF purity,
in morality and in style OF these pic
ture stories should be as high as that
of the word story. Stella G. Dysart.
