Sir: OF late many accounts both in the
United states and Canada calling attention 20 how
profane and bad language is Increasing among the
bows The truth Of this cannot be denied by any
one who happens to come in contact with the groups
of boys who Congregate IN public places and on
the streets. The youths most addicted 70 this
habit are those ranging IN ages from twelve 70
twenty. who to believe that oath or some
other form of bad language makes them appear
more manly. This idea they get from their elders
Blaspheuous and other degrading language has BE-
come very common Of late, not only among ne
lower classes. but also among those in the higher
walks of life which seems almost incredible seeing
that such a habit profanity answers no good
purpose
This practice owing to strong opposition by the
press the Church. the Holy Name Society ETC. has
been greatly Iessened among the men. but I DO NOT
believe the above methods will have the desired
effect among the youths, where the seed OF pro-
family has been sown while many OF them are sttll
practically ignorant OF its evil II has been stated
that the schools might assist greatly in checking
this evil among the children. but do not think
they can accomplish very much without its use
being discontinued by the older people and BY their
parents in their homes GEORGE " RIGHT
