Forum of the People

introduced thus early thru the med
ium of cheap art and low humor.
There is no class in the community
whose moral and intellectual life
ought to be more carefully guarded
than the children, and 1t is into their
hands that we are placing these comic
supplements, in the most susceptible
years of their life.
In 1908 the Boston Herald abandon
ed the comic supplement The Out
look. of June Bird, 1909 made the fol-
lowing statement: Eight months ago
the Herald abandoned the comic sup
plement, in recognition of growing
dissatisfaction. Not only has the
abandonment of the comics been
praised by social and other organiza-
tions, but by the approval from the
homes into which the Sunday Herald
enters, has come the most convincing
evidence that colored comic is not
essential, even to the amusement of
the children. 1t is an unfortunate
, estimate of the American people that
/ assumes that the grosser and lower
humor is the most popular.
The agitation against the comic sup
plement for children is making head
I way, but has not yet gained momen
: tum enuf to change the practice OF
the newspapers. The attitude of the
newspaper proprietor is frankly com
mercial. 1t is only when public opin
ion has developed far enuf that he
will make a change.
Much work has been done, in the
east, among the Woman's Clubs, par
ticularly under the leadership of Mrs
Josiah Kern. In letter from her re

Shall Children be Allowed Free Use
of Newspapers? What of Comic
Supplements?

Editor News:
This is no child's world! 1t is an
adult world, which recks little of the
effects of it's adult ways upon the SEN
sitiveness and innocence of the young
In the newspaper world the child is
uncared for; he is constantly nudged
with the rest of us, to interest himself
in all that concerns his elders, and he
is everywhere invited to enter prema-
turely into the life and concerns of
the grown ups.
THE newspaper may be regarded
as one of the strongest influeaces that
enters the home. 1t is supposed to
speak with authority, and, too, it is
supposed, however violent that sup
position may be, to speak the truth.
Therefore, what it says is excepted
as being true, and Truth, or what one
may believe to be true, always finds
