EUGFNICs IN SCHOOL.

A sehoolmistress in Hertfordshire.
England, is teaching eugenics, or. as
She calls it, the facts of nature, to
boys and girls of the ages from ten
Ito fourteen years. And she talks to
them after this fashion. There is
nothing wicked in nature You are
IAN going to be fathers and mothers
strong, healthy bodies you will not
have strong healthy children. To
have such bodies you must breath
fresh air, take plenty Of exercise and
keep clean" To a visitor she said.
IF you don't teach children the facts
.of nature in sensible, open way.
they find them out for themselves in
Ia vulgar, improper way. believe in
telling children those essential facts
which they must know sooner or later
They ought to know. Their ignor-
.ance is not a moral safeguard. 1t IS
the reverse. If you can make a child
understand the blessedness of a sound
body and the awfulness of an I'M
sound one. you are doing as much or
more than all the rescue homes put
together"

Of Hammond

of Hammond.
But when the movement for a new
organization, the Hammond Chamber
OF Commerce. was started THE
TIMES saw from the personnel of the
sponsors that at last Hammond was
to have civic body of which it could
be proud.
Il gave unlimited space to promot-
ing the new organization and was
pleased to find that its view of the
situation had been correct and that
the entire public and press Of the
city Joined in an effort to make the
new project a success.
That it is a success is proven by
the fact that the Hammond Chamber
if Commerce now has a membership
of 40 and is housed in the finest club
quarters in Northern Indiana with
the exception OF Gary.
No great or important thing is ac-
complished without friction. The
man who avoids friction may have
greater peace Of mind but he is less
of a factor In the community.
1t requires friction to scrape off the
barnaeles from the good old ship. She
may be strained while resting in stays
in the dry dock but she will run
smoother after they are all removed.
There are people who still SWEAR
AT instead of SWEARING BY THE
TIMES as a result of It's campaign
for new civic organization but after
all everything IS judged by results
and the Hammond Chamber of Com
MERGE is the result.

FRICTION MAKES FIRE

Former business men, associations
In Hammond were dominated by the
barnacIes Of the community who had
an idea they are progressive. With
some notable exceptions the members
of those bodies were a drag on the
city.

tions. They plugged along. met oe-

Lays Of Ancient Rome
In all times OF Gary's short history
there never was such an assembly cf
people as were gathered yesterday to
attend the funeral Of Billy Rugh. the
cripple newsboy They met to honor
one Of the city's humblest citizens.
The gathering was remarkable both
for it's size and for the emotions that
stirred those present. It showed
that the love of humanity is invested
in us in greater degree than we
think.
The people of Gary have already
taken steps to keep the memory Of
the heroic newsboy. Their testi
monial possibly viii be in the form
Of a statue to be erected in Jefferson
park and a bronze tablet to be placed
along side the building where Rugh
had his newsstand Doubtless money
from many outside sources will flow
into the memorial fund
The mayor Of Gary has said that
the memory Of Rugh shall last as long
as the city. At least. those of the
present will preserve it so that those
who came after will revere 1t.

GOVERNOR WILSON ON HIS Eel
LOW CITIZENS OF FOREIGN
pTpTH

To the supposed discredit of the
Hon Woodrow Wilson the New York
Tribune exhibits what he said in Chi
eago the other day about his fellow
citizens and what he said about them
when he was writing his monumental
History Of the American People.
The merely superficial or fippant
mind may think that it detects an al
most ludicrous inconsistency between
the utterances of the candidate and
those of the historian upon the value
of our foreign immigration We put
them here side BY side.
