AMERICAN CHILDREN TOO
CLEAN, SAYS PROF. KOCH
Noted Scientist Declares Example Sst
by Fashionable School Teach
ers Has Bad Effect on
Pupils

CHICAGO, Nov. 7-"Ameriean chill
dren are too clean, too vain, and too
'puffed up American school teachers
too much are inclined to be fashion
able. American parents are too anx-
ious to earn money"
This is the view of conditions in the
United States pictured by Prof. Fritz
Koch of a Lake Geneva school, Swift
erland.
mot least among the detriments to
a natural development of children is
fashion, a forced culture of vanity and
extravaganza" he declares. mot only
do parents, but also teachers, set the
example. To follow all the extrava-
gances of fashion appears to be a far
stronger tendency than the desire to
be refined and simple.
Children while at play, are con-
stantly reprimanded because of their
dirty hands, spots on their clothes, ETC.
So frequently are they called away
from their real life because of this that
natural, intense, wild play gradually is
replaced by occupations of lesser value,
or by systematic games, like tennis,
basketball and baseball.
Real boys and girls are rovers in
field and forest, in alleys and in dan
gerous places"
