Square church in New York City. In

tween the police and lawbreakers in

HearttoHeart
Talks.
our NATIONAL SONGS.
BY EDWIN A. NYB-
copyrighf. 1909. by American Press
Association.

Boards OF education in several west
ern states are now requiring that ev-
cry pupil that enters high school must
be able to repeat the words Of one of
our national songs.
It is required that pupils should
know by heart such songs as "Amer-
lea" or Hail Columbia" or ''The Star
Spangled Banner
It is a fact that not one In ten Of the
average American audiences is able TO
sing all the stanzas of America
A newspaper tells of a patriotic Sun
day school superintendent who was
surprised to discover that the national
hymn was not in the book used by his
school.
Whereupon the superintendent asked
the children to sing the hymn from
memory. They got through the first
stanza and then faltered. And the
adults who were present were unable
to lend them much assistance.
Do you suppose any company Of
Germans would fail TO sing every line
Of Die Wacht am Rhine?"
Or can you fancy any popular au-
dience of the French people that
would fail to remember the words of
THE MarseillaiseT
Or a gathering of Englishmen that
would sing one stanza Of God Save
the King" and forget the rest of it?
There are abundant reasons why we
should be the most patriotic people on
earth. And perhaps we are, but we
are a little short in our expression of
patriotism.
There are two ways by which We
the people-may best express our SEN
timents-display of the flag and songs.
OF course it is possible to be patri-
otto without knowing or singing the
words of our national songs.
It also Is possible to be patriotic
without the use Of the flag.
The dearest traditions Of the repub.
| lie are wrapped in the fields of the
flag. By some mystery of the mind 9
symbol comes to stand for a senti
ment, an object lesson for an idea
The greater the sentiment or idea the
greater the symbol.
And so Of the songs.
Not only the words, but the tunes
also, are forever welded to patriotic
memories. They symbolic in The
minds and hearts of the masses of thu
people glorious heroisms and achieve
mentS.
The flag should be raised over every
schoolhouse in the land. And the ma
tional songs should be taught In ever!

ABOUT THE BoYIsH PROFANITY

A mother has sent us the following
clipping which we are asked to publish.
We gladly do so for it deals with a
neglected subject and one that is
worthy of attention. The article
reads:

family has become common among

of the ordinary, here a group Of
boys Of ten and fifteen years is to-

but which are shocking falling
from the tongues of children of
tender years OF all stupid and silly
vices. profanity is one Of the worst
and most abominabIe A simple
statement of fact is much stronger
than any statement embellished
with swearwords, and no lie is
made any the more belieeabIe by
being framed in profanity. In fact,
both truth and falsehood are weak

Lords name In vain. Foul epithets
and comparisons are not convine-

use of them Profanity among
