MATRIMoNY VS.. EMPLOYMENT.

me lands of Missouri can be re-.
CLAIMED and the population of the
state can be greatly increased if the
mothers in Missouri viii advocate
matrlmony in place of employment
This is the theory advanced by Mrs
Pearl L. Curran, newly elected presi-
dent of the Missouri Development as.
ISOLATION
Mrs. Curran proposes to go into
the rural districts and plead with the
mothers to have their daughters mar
ry in their own stations and become
wives and mothers of future Mis-.
sourians instead of becoming clerks
stenographers, bookkeepers and the
like. In pursuance of this policy she
went into the rural districts near
Springfield, Mo, few days ago and
pleaded with her women hearers as
mothers to keep their daughters at
home and teach them the science OF
domestic economy instead of sending
them to the cities to work, Among
other things, she said
THE little red school house on the
hill will teach your daughters the
three RS, and you can teach them
the rest.
Let them inhale the pure ozone of
the country-let them marry in their
own station, and last, but not least,
let them become mothers.
"The farmers wife is the real queen
of this country, and her children are
real sovereigns
IF the women in the country dis
tricts of this state will promote these
principles, the lands of Missouri will
be reclaimed quicker than by immi-
grafton,

sonal appeal to the women of Mis-

Mount Pleasant Free Press: You
may think you have a hard row to
hoe with the present high prices, but
listen to this: Eugene Russell at
Rome, section boss, lost his eyesight
in a gas explosion; he has but one
thirteenth of the eye sight of one eye
left, and he cannot see even with that
unless he has on powerful spectacles.
Yet he works every day, supports a
family of five or six and is not stand
ing around bewailing his hard luck.
When you think your wages are low
and that you are not being paid what
you are worth or il your farm did not
produce as big crop last year as gou
had expected and you feel all out Of
sorts with the world, think of Eugene
Russell.

A judge in Missouri has shown the
country bit of sense regarding the
qualifications of jurors. In the trial
of a case one of the lawyers, with the

the familiar question whether the
talesman had read accounts of the
case in the newspapers. Whats the
difference if he has read the newspa.
pers? demanded the Judge. Hell
make the better juryman. To say
that man ought not to serve because
he has read the newspaper accounts
is saying in effect that jury of in.

justice; neither is it law" AS the
Springfield Republican observes. it is
satisfaction to have so sensible a
suggestion clothed with the authority
of judge.

SEX in fhA crhooi.


Marshalltown Times Republican.
MRS, Garroll's advice and suggestion
tnat sociology should become part Of
the school curriculum OF Iowa by com
puision is not likely to be seriously
taken nor to be seriously considered
Inc study of sex does not belong in
tne public schools. The parents OF
children and patrons of schools win
wax indignant over the mere sugges-
tlon and their attitude will be entirely
justified. There Is no prudishness in
the indignation of mothers and the
disgust OF fathers over any attempt to
make sex study compulsory; it is
rather from a sense of delicacy among
iowa mothers and of common sense
and experience among Iowa fathers.
There may be an idealistic frame of
mind which may approach the study
IN absolute purity and delicaey but it
is not found in the average child of
school age. Parents may be and are
remlss in teaching their boys and girls
the secrets of physical life but the
home is the place for such teaching,
not the public school room. This may
De old fashioned and scarcely up to
date OF the long haired men and short
nalred women who spend their time
upon sex analysis but it is of a good
human fashion and of the fashion of
the gentle mothers who have gone on
IN their purity and delicate secretive-
ness to the land where they dwell. We
do not want nor are we likely to have
sex study which shall open to our
children what in the complete conf
dence of the home we hesitate to re-
veal. There was philosophy in Aris-
totes assertion that some youths are
unfit for the study of moral philoso-
ply.
The suggestion arises from a ten
dency which is weakness and is rap
IDLY becoming vice in present day
society The tendency is to dodge SO
far as possible parental responsibility
and also so far as possible and the
bounds OF imagined possibility are
wide flung, Judging By this latest sug-
gestion-impose this neglected and
denied responsibility upon the schools
and the teachers. 1t has become an
accepted fact among some mothers
that the teaching force of the schools
are to be made chargeable for the
character of the members of the
school. One most excellent woman
and mother not long since complained
bitterly that the things are not as
they should be among the pupils of a
certain high school and sharply crit
icised the teachers as responsible for
alleged immortality existant. This is
a growing opinion and growing
tendency. given strength by social de-
nands and desires which must be
gratlfied at the expense OF maternal
duties and the sacrifice of parental re-
sponsibility.
Sex study nothing, Let the mothers
of the growing girls teach them the
beautiful mysteries which are part of
maternity and let the sires of sons
teach them the sacredness and spien-
dor of sex. Let us cease to enirk. The
women who would relegate to the
teachers of public schools the highest
and privileges Of mater
nifty do not deserve to be mothers
Let us hear no more of the new de
parture and let Us hear more of hon
est work In the school room.

Would Call it Lake Des Moines.'
To the Editor of The Gate Cify.


Having read the several suggestions
for a name for the lake that will be
hereafter formed by the back water
on the rapids between Keokuk, Mon
trose. Nauvoo and on up to Burlington,
believe l have the proper name to
suggest, viz: Lake Des Moines," for
the following suggestive and historical
reasons: First, that this lake will
be formed on the historical Des
Moines rapids; second, Montrose was
known in the early thirties when gov
eminent troops were stationed there
as Fort Des Moines; third, the city
of Keokuk is situated at or adjoining
the mouth Of the Des Moines Hver.
