MRS. STETSON OUT
WITH NEW DEFENSE

NEW YORK. Nov s.-Mrs. Augusta
Z. StetsOn, vigorously defending herself
from the charges of mental malpractice,
Of which the Boston official Of Chris
Tian Science found her guilty, has is
sued a statement in which she justines
the teachings ard practices which have
been condemned by the Boston members
OF the church.
It is believed this statement will re-
suit in immediate efforts to excom-
municate Mrs. Stetson. This action on
the part of the Boston officials IS con-
templated because of the fact that in
stead OF cOnfessing any wrongdoing
Mrs. Stetson has. regardless Of d second
admOnition, taken just the opposite
course and IS defending the seIfsame
teaching with which the church found
fault.
In the beginning Of her statement
Mrs. StetsOn denies that she has deaed
the mother church. She and her fol-
lowers, she declares, are loyal TO Mrs.
Mary Baker Eddy. Answering the
statements in Mr.. Stickler's diary, she
says in part:
ION my return from Boston we had
the practitioners meeting. as usual; first
the reading Of the Bible lesson. at the
conclusion OF which as was our custom.
We discussed the problems pertaining 10
our Christian Science work At this
time l intimated to the practitioners
the possibility Of their being called upon
by the board Of directors of the mother
church 10 explain what they understood
by malpractice.
AT the same time in no way either
told or intimated to them that 1 had
been In Boston or that expected to go.
We then discussed at length how we
handled malpractice, also the differ
ence between that and the true practice
Of self-prOteCtiOn, or defense against
malicious animal ma gnetisTn (eviI
thoughts and their effects on the hui
man body; furthermore, what is i'm
piled by personal control.
Il found all but three or four clear in
their understanding. Among those who
were confused was Mr.. Strickler, and
was surprised 20 find that he seemingly
could not grasp the metaphysical point
that there exists a difference between
mental malpractice and self-defense,
and questioned the use OF names in self
protection.
Christian Scientists today are con-
fronting the sG-called claims Of hypnOt-
ism, messmersm, occultism, witchcraft
and the combined forces of sO-callei
evil which Christian Scientists prove TO
De poWerless when met with the right
understanding OF truth.
i was a member OF the board of
trustees that had 10 pass upon my
teachings and practice of Christian
Science / voluntarily relinquished the
right OF being present during the in
quiry.
II never requested or desired the per-
sons conducting the inquiry 10 stand for
me against the authorities Of the
mother church. On the contrary, II
said 20 them, when / appeared before

Eddy, and they should simply suspend

SAYS CHILDREN GO

Statement.

Far too many children are sent to
school without sufficient breakfast.
This is an evil which exists to a great
er extent than is supposed. and it
should be stopped by the parents who
are responsible"
This statement was made this morning
by Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, chair
man Of the committee or elementary
education Of the Board Of Education. in
drawing attention to what she considers
Is greater evil than that contained IN
the recent criticism leveied against the
present school curriculum.
Mrs. Mussey's statement is OF great
est portent to school authorities, be-
cause, as she explains It, this neglect
is not confined to the children OF the
poor. but a large percentage Of the
'breakfastless" children belong TO pa
rents OF the so-called comfortably
fixed" class.
Give the children a chance" IS what

that an insufficient breakfast is re-

Parents Leave Early.

1.-THE parents OF these children are as
a rule employed, and are required 70
rise early and leave home hurriedly.
Consequently, they get into the habit Of
expecting their children TO shift for
themselves, with the result that the chill
dren swallow what they find nearest at
hand, and then come TO school. In sew
eral instances of this kind that have
come TO my attention, the parents are
employed in Government service, and
their neglect of their children is not due

"a little more cooperation on the
part OF parents with the school children

ENGLAND'S SACRED BEAST.
Unwritten Law Against Shooting Even
Hen Eating Foxes.

"Down in the country the other
day there was a village sensation in
which l was called upon to adjudi-
cate for the farmers assembled in
the parlor Of the only village inn, D
writes the London correspondent of
Town and Country. Gone of their
number had shot a fox which had
| prowled about among the fowls for
so many nights that fowl keeping
was becoming a risky business.
'The ordinary farmer does not
| mind losing an occasional hen, but
reynard is greedy beast and kills
| for the mere pleasure of the thing,
and the hunt does not always pay
up promptly. So here was a fine
point in sporting etiquette to be
settled. The farmer had shot a fox.
He did not deny it. In fact, he pre-
ferred to throw out his chest with
pride. as if in defiance of all the I'M
written laws of British sport.
"Now, custom from time imme-
mortal has decreed that the fox
shall be as safe from gun and trap
as if he were sacred. He belongs to
the hounds and must be allowed to
roam through the covers and farm
yards at will, devouring what may
happen in his way. Custom, too,
demands that the hunt shall pay
the damages. The hunt generally
pays, though in innumerable cases
the secretary is well aware that he
is being swindled.
''But this particular farmer said
he had hunted for many years him
self and had never made a claim for
lost hens. A year or two ago, how
ever, a fox had paid a nocturnal
visit to his fowl yard and had played
havoc with the feathered denizens.
A night or two after it happened
again. A third time the fox came
around and made a most deplorable
mess of a lot of fine Wyandottes
and some expensive Bull Orplng-
tons.
"Then the farmer wrote to the
hunt secretary and asked for dam
ages. The reply was that the claim
would be attended to shortly, and
at Christmas the settlement came
in the form ola ham. Thereupon
the farmer declared war on all foxes
and killed them ruthlessly. And
this was the point which puzzled the
farmers on Saturday night.
"Jim Crawford shot a fox last
year, said one of the men, and no
good has come to him since. 1t
amt lucky and it amt sportsman
like. Let 'em kill your hens. That's
what they are there for, and if one
