ESTABLISH COURSE
IN "SP0ONlhG ART"
Chicago Professor Would
Abolish Chaperones in
His Kissing College.

Chicago. May 23-At last it is here
the perfectly scientific courtship.
1t is the plan of Prof Robert E.
Oak Park. who first proposed it at
conference of the Child Welfare exhi-
bit
When you sit on the benches in the
park. and you're engaged and it's all
right. when you ask for just one more
kiss don't be surprised If she turns to
you and says:
mo, George; it isn't according to
Blount."
II you are modest young woman
and you are fond of certain young
man, and you want to know II it would
be proper for you to let him see your
true feeling, it will no longer be nee
essary to writ Laura Jean to know
| what course to pursue. Instructions
on such subjects will be part of the
school curriculum.
Il believe" said Prof. Blount, in ad-
vocating the kissing colleges" in
| which the art of spooning" is to be
taught, that there should be proper
course of instruction. preparing chill
dren for married life. This instruc-
ton should begin in infancy and con-
tinue through life and youth.
Thinks chaperon System Bad.
"Courtship should not be left to
chance and the unguided impulses of
youth" said Prof. Blount. Nor is
the guardians duty done when he has
impressed the importance of the pro-
prieties on his charges. To this neg
alive instruction must be added posi-
tive counsel and training.
| The European method of chaperon-
age is prohibitive of true courtship.
The very common practice in Ameri-
ca of allowing engaged couples almost
unlimited facilities for private meet
ings withous much regard to time and
place, and without any instruction
that would prepare them for making
good use of such privilege, is not a
good one.
| "Courtship ought to be studied care
fully by those intrusted with the train
ing of young people, to the end that it
may lead up to a beautiful married
life
| ''Sweethearts need to be alone to-
gether. Their love grows with express
sion. They ought to have opportuni-
ty for their endearments. But they
should be carefully taught the differ

Should BE Allowed to Plan.
There are a thousand and one
things for sweethearts to talk over.
We who are older know that they will
try to map out their whole life plans,
and then, as the years pass, will fail
to live up to their scheme. But that
is nothing against their working out
the plan.
This conscientious planning helps
to make life more harmonious and lifts
it to a higher plane. Questions Of
