Excess Of Attendance Upon En-
tertainments of Any Kind

Nearly all city boys and girls are
In the ha0it of going to the theater.
When the only Shows provided were
either expensive or uninteresting to
children, the number of boys and girls
In attendance was not so large as to
arouse any special discussion or
alarm. But with the advent of five
and ten-cent vaudeville performances
this number began to increase. Now
that the moving picture shoy has be-
come universally established, it is APP
parent that show-going has become a
fixed habit, so widespread as to cause
serious consequences.
A Serious Question. :
This situation demands attention
because. Of the serious physical effects
upon: many of these children. The
most manifest in these effects are
dullness and nst1essness, and the
over-straining of the nervous system
which undermines the capacity for
subsequent physical endurance. Still
more serious are the effects of the
moral and spiritual nature resulting
from the constant witnessing OF
scenes and actions which arouse
either immoral or unworthy ideals.
Physical Effects.

PENSION WANTED
BY RURAL CARRIERS

Rural free delivery mail carriers are
doing their utmost to bring about legis-
lation which will enable them to be put
on the retired list with part pay at the
end Of a period of adequate service.
At the forthcoming convention of the
National Rural Letter Carriers Associa-
tion, composed OF delegates representing
the rural carriers, this action Of retire
ment system will be one of the chief Ques-
tions discussed. The rural carriers feel
that their pay is small, considering the
work they do. the exposure to which they
arc subjected, and the distances they
travel over bad roads in all manner Of
weather and the fidelity with which they
serve the patrons of the rural free de-
livery system. They have been agitating
the question of retirement pay for some
time, but Congress has turned a deaf car
Now, the carriers hope to perfect and
strengthen their organization and to
strengthen the movement for a retirement
system.
II the carriers on the rural mail routes
were thoroughly organized they would be
a strong force. They number about 1000
The difficulties in tho way of rural car
rlers getting a retirement plan sanctioned
by Congress are the same difficulties that
have always stood in the way Of any re-
tirement plan for government civil em-
ployes. At once the matter comes before
Congress. a cry goes up against a civil
pension list. Some Senators and members
OF the House have declared unending war
on the idea of civil pension list. Whether
the fact that the rural carriers are po-
tent force in the country districts will
have any bearing on the matter remains
10 be seen.
