AMERICAN CnIlO UNDERBREO

IN RESPECT TO ELDERS.
Due to Our Boosted Freedom-Miss
Ledyard Puts Responsibility
on Parents.

DENVER. July 1O-"American children
are forward, bright. often precoclous. un.
derbred and apt to be sadly lacking in
respect to elders or things of a sacred
nature" declared Miss Mary F. Ledyard
supervisor of kindergarten and manua
art, Los Angeles. in an address today be
fore the department Of child study of the
National Educational Association
She attributed this condition to "oul
boasted freedom having lapsed into
license with the uneducated classes and
in the cases of children who have inn
proper home environment
She commented most favorably upon
the civic efforts being made to emanci-
pate childhood through the = Juvenile
courts. ti.e pure food laws, theMfesh ali
associations. the medical inspection ano
care Of children IL schools, etc, but de-
elared that none of these are great
enough OF far-reaching enough to secure
perfect protection OF the childhood OF
America.
. But One Guarantee.
There is but one sure and unfailing
guarantee that we shall bring forth a
well-born. well-bred. representative type
of manhood and womanhood in our coun-
try. and that lies wholly in an enlight-
ened. intelligent parenthood. Let the
schools do what they can: let the state
do what it must; let the church do what
it will.
The real rise or fall Of this republic
lies in the intelligence Of it's parent
hood. and to the end that no mother
shall fail of her duty through ignorance,
the National Congress of Mothers was
formed. which, when it's full function
shall have been performed. shall reach
and instruct all parenthood everywhere
in the laws of right living and high
thinking"
That a department OF home making,
has been included in the courses of
some of our universities was considered
a most hopeful sign that the day is
breaking when the highest calling In
the world. the one most universally
undertaken. that of parenthood. shall
be as scientifically studied and carefully
prepared for as any profession or busi-
ness in which men and women engage"

money and 30 got his official story Of
his dash, as made to the Government,
and it II copyrighted and cannot be
used by any other papers without con-
sent. But the great Western News
paper Union, that includes this paper,
joined the syndicate. and 30 last Satur-
day the Free Press gave its readers
this oftieial account with his picture
from his last book
This paper has never spared expense
in giving its readers the very best and
latest, 30 its readers get their full
moneys worth and are always up to
the times. We make it worth the full
dollars worth every year and our sub

sons born whose parents were criminals it does not
necessarily follow that all criminals born as SUCH
Your born criminal is a rare proposition, altho the
supposition prevails that nearly all men IN prison
are such.
Judge Tuthill frankly says that to admit there
are born criminals is to deny faith in God He says
that all young needs is the lightkind OF en-
vironment and if this environment is uplifting there
need be no fear of the young man going astray.
There is much to be said both sides of this sub
ject for there any number of authentic instances
where young men have gone wrong who were sur
rounded by the very best influence and counsel. In
many such cases where environment is all that could
be desired, outside influence steps in and contamin-

II Kind Jztd6e,


In fiction we read of judges who are stern and
remorseless in the performance of their duty, but
occasionally we read item that presents them in a
different viewpoint Such an item we read the other
day which tells of Judge in the state of New York
who presented Christmas gift to each of the pris-
oners he had sentenced to the penitentiary during
the past year. It is refreshing to read OF an action
of this kind-t indicates that the humanities OF life
are not dying out Perhaps some OF these men were
strangers to his HONOR nevertheless he realized that
they were human beings and that they were not IN
different to kindness.
These little gifts may may not appeal elo-
ouently to these prisoners. Still, let hope that
thew will reawaken their vanished manhood and put
new courage into their hearts in order to win back
their lost standing in the world These gifts also in
dictate that this judge, in upholding the law bears nc
ill-wil against those whom he sentenced to pay the
penalty of their wrongdoing

The bill will also provide for payment OF smaller
