Measures for Moral correotio,


President G. Stanley Hall recently
pleaded for the reintroduction of scold-
ing as corrective for children's moral
delinquency. "A sound rebuke from
parents and teachers usually has a
salutary effect, especially if the scold-
ing, when necessary. is followed up by
a punishment which has fallen still
more into desuetude, namely, fog
ging.'" So he is reported as saying
by The Catholic For.nightly Review.
This journal declares that at wa a
dark .icture Of the moral condition of
our youth that President Hall painted
in his lecture before the ST. Louis So
ciety of Pedagogy. Juvenile crime is
not only on the increase in this coun-
try. he asserted. but the crimes them
selves are becoming more serious" and
the age at which they are committed
is constantly growing lower. Condi-
tons are much the same in other
countries, however, where accurate
statistics have been compiled. "a CEN
sus lately taken in the schools of
Germany. France, and England, as to
the prevalence Of private vice and
moral unclaanness among boys" is, he
salO, one OF the most depressing ana
humiltating facts with which we have
to reckon" AS to crime among young
men and adults, the United States is
given first rank. DR.. Hall finds that
We lead the world in the number of
murders and divorces. Scolding was
not the only remedy for Juvenile bad
behavior that was proposed. This
Catholic journal adds:
President Hall further recommend
ed readings from the bible as preser-
vative of morality. This will no doubt
meet with the approval Of not a few
of those in charge of our public
schools. The next remedy will strike
many as curious. DR. Hill suggests that
moral stories intoxicating different
virtues be made a part of the common
school course. On. what basis, by
whom, or how, or, along what lines
these stories are to be written, he did
not clearly state. We suspect he meant
such books as are issued by the Ethi-
cal Culture Society. He spoke Of an or
ganization of German educators who
had already prepared nine stout vol
umes of morality books

argument can be given to that theory
by mentioning that at the present time
there is not a vacant store in town. and
one real estate man tells the writer
he had applications for sixteen DIV eli

more remarkable. when several new
stores have been built in the last few
years, and as each building was being
erected the wise men of the town
would shake their heads and wonder
where the trade was to come from.
One very peculiar condition of business
prevails here. Every line of business
and profession seems to be "overdone."

and effect, but here's another state

Grnnell on Sunday, this according to
population, than any town in Iowa
! These figures are made by reckoning

smaller towns the percentage OF
church members is comparatively 1arg-

WHY SHOULD BREADWl NINE Frs
COMPLAIN?

There are people here and there
and a good many of them-Who are so
unreasonable as to complain about the
diminution in the size and weight of
the loaves of breadl they buy since Mr..
Patten has succeeded in running cor
ner on the wheat market. These grum-
blers don't seem to have any magma
ton Whatever, says the Kansas City
Times They allow the sordid con-
sideration of the price of bread-which
is, at best, a bagatelle-to close their
ewes to the magnificent burst of genius
by which Mr. Patten, by a simple turn
of the wrist so to speak, will pull in
millions of dollars by way of profits on
his mastery deal.
The trouble is that those people who
allow themselves to fall into the rut
Of mere bread-Winners and who think
only of what they shall eat and where
withal they shall be clothed, really
become too ossified to appreciate the
effulgance and grandeur of such bril-
liant speculation as Mr.. Patten and
other plungers OF his stripe are capa-
bic. They appear to have no concep-
