SHOULD UNITE TO EAT.
Prof. BIacIunar Says That 1t Is q
Humanizer in Community.

1.-THE churches and Sunday schools
of the country use the greatest power
for good ever known, by which the
lives of children can be controlled"
declared Professor F. w. Blackmar,
head of the department of sociology
of the State university in the course OF
an address Tuesday night before a
special meeting of Lodge 331 of the
Horse Thief association in the
Highland Park school.
''All of US learn from our assoeia-
tons and if the church were to furnish
means for amusement there would be
no problem of handling the youth OF
the country. He are never created
fully until we are created socially. If
the church or Sunday school of the
neighborhood were to look after the
social as well as the so-called spiritual
needs of the growing voter, the nation
would be a great gamer as likewise
would the church and the Sunday
school
I'm my opinion the church of today
has not measured up to modern
American ideas. It should be a COM
mon social gathering place for the
neighborhood. The gospel should not
be preached, but lived. Everyone in
neighborhood should be a member
of the church and in small neighbour
hoods there should be only one
church.
ST recommend eating together as a
great equalizer and humanizer for the
people of every neighborhood. They
should get together and eat as often
as they can.
Therefore, say to every neighbor-
hood, organize. Any neighborhood
without a children's playground prop
erly laid out is detective

method of teaching civics in the
schools is to give an outline of the
national. state and city officers. and a
general idea of the duties they involve,
but there is nothing in that to instruct
the boy in the sacredness of his duty
and privilege to vote. He should be
taught to forsake party restrictions
and do his own thinking. and he
should be instructed in the real use
of political parties and the limits of
party loyalty. The girls Of the school

even If they did not look forward to a
time when they were to be voters, they
still should know the duties of citizen

proper ideals, the relative value of
money and culture, and encourage
