things. 1t is sincerely hoped that our
next legislature will look into the par
ents' responsibility more infinitely than
has been the practice heretofore"
The screw that is loose is not, as
Mr.. Kerr suggests, in the failure of
the law makers of the state to con-
slider this important matter. Rather
is it in the failure of the properly con-
stituted public authorities to do their
duty in this particular There is al
| ready a law on the statute books OF
Kansas which makes possible the just
punishment of negligent parents. 1t is
one of the comparatively new laws Of
the state and was enacted at the time
that the juvenile court system, under
the jurisdiction of probate judges, was
established. This law is far-reaching
and stringent. 1t gives the probate
judges and the police powers the wild
est of latitude in proceeding against
parents who permit their children to
run wild and get into all kinds of mis-
chief.
Not much attention has been paid
to this law. That's the great trouble.
A number of cases, a very small num-
Der, have been brought under it in
Shawnee county, but it is not recalled
that there has been much activity in
applying this law in any other section
of the state. 1t is an excellent law and
its application should be more general.
If parents who are inclined to be neg
ligent with their children and allow
them to get into difficulties. could be
impressed with the fact that they can
be punished by fines or Jail sentences
for such neglect there would not be so
many problems concerning young boys
and girls for society at large to solve.
There is only one way to so impress
these parents. And that's to make ex-
amples of some of them

REFRACTORY PARENTS.

In a letter to this paper. Mr.. James
Kerr, of this city, makes the excellent
point that too much attention is paid
by public authority to the correction
and punishment of refractory children
and not enough to their parents who
are primarily responsible for the mis-
demeanors and graver offenses of their
offspring considerable space is oc-
cupied at the present time in the daily
press" writes Mr.. Kerr. Gin regard to
the misdoings of children; but while
remarking on this painful condition Of
our ordinary life. care should be taken
to look into the responsibility of the
parents. With proper painstaking care
the laws pertaining to refractory child
rem are clearly set forth and the juve-
niles are promptly housed in houses of
reformation by laws which contem-
plate the welfare of the state and of
society. While this is so, there appears
to be screw loose somewhere in re-
gard to refractory parents. In other
words, and to use well understood
expression We have, in a measure,
placed the cart before the horse and
there is very pressing and immediate
necessity for reversing this order Of

FOR THE PHTHIsIs CAMP.

Subscription lists are passed around
pretty often in Topeka. But regard
less of the frequency of their appear
ance they seldom knock on the doors
of Topekans' generosity in vain. This
is probably because they are concern
ed with worthy projects which will be
beneficial to the town and fits people.
One of these lists is going to start
on the rounds on September 5. On
that day the workers of the Topeka
Anti-Tuberculosis society will start out
soliciting SIS memberships from the
business men of the city. The re-
Spouse, no doubt, will be prompt and
large, as it ought to be. For the work
being done by this Anti-Tuberculosis
society is of the kind that counts.
The money obtained in this COM
paign will be devoted to continuing
the maintenance of the consumptive
camp in North Topeka. Great good
has been accomplished by this institu-
ton. Its possibilities are almost limit
less If its capacity is developed to
proper proportions. 1t will reduce to
a minimum the danger of tuberculosis
being promiscuously spread around as
it provides a place for the isolation
and necessary treatment of those who
are seriously affected with the disease.
1t may be the means of almost eradi-
eating this plague from Topeka. It
does not prevail here to the same pro-
portionate extent that it does in other
localities of the country. On that ac-
count it can be combated here the
easier.
And considerable would be the ad-
vantage to Topeka if it could advertise
to the world in the course of the next
few years that it is practically free
from consumption. Such a probability
is within the realm of possibilities.
Great strides have been made through
out the nation during the past few
years in curbing the ravages of tuber-
culosis. 1t has become recognized
that even greater strides can be made
if each individual locality wages a fight
of its own against the scourge. Many
of them are doing so and with won
derful success. Topeka has started
such fight, has made good progress
and should not be compelled to give it
up now for lack of funds.
