indianapolis Starr

1t is really refreshing to learn from
the interesting letter Of President kel-
ly of Earlham college to the Star, that
the perpetrators of the recent hair
cutting outrage at that institution have
been identified and dismissed from the
school; and also that both the faculty
and the overwhelming majority Of the
students disapprove of hazing in every
form. This. necessarily means that
the students there are IN some way be-
ing impressed with respect for the
rights of others. Education has no
more important feature so far as fit
ting one for intelligent and useful cit
genship is concerned. than this. 1t IS
not only the christian doctrine as
taught in the Golden Rule, but also
is the American doctrine as set forth
in the constitutions Of the United
States and Of every state in the union.
The very corner stone of American
ism Is the protection of the rights of
the individual. and no man can be a
good American citizen who does not
respect the rights of others.
This is seen throughout large part
of the prevalent lawlessness, not mere
ly in crimes, but in minor offenses,
The gangs" of boys who gather on
street corners and make themselves
offensive to passersby are the products
of lack of education in this line, and
of the idea that their actions are
smart" or funny In fact this per
verted idea Of amusement is probably
in large part responsible. President
Kelly says: Now that the newspa
pers are ceasing to make heroes Of the
boys who engage in these outbreaks
feel sure all the colleges which real
" desire to do so will be able to elimi
nate hazing." The responsibility Of
the newspapers Is more seen in treat
ing such outrages as funny than in
making them heroic. And this fault
is seen in their treatment Of practical
joking in many forms. 1t is probably
safe to say that "Peck's Bad Boy" and
