THE last big picnic and outing
TO be held this season is Labor Day
which will be celebrated at the
Butler County Fair Grounds. This
will probably be the last picnic to
be held at the Fair Grounds by the
Cooperative Trades and Labor
Council. The state laws have been
changed in the past few years that
no liquor can be sold on the
grounds and without this source of
revenue it will be Impossible for the
picnic committee to meet the in
creased expenses. The expenses
of the picnic will be much greater
than previous years and this is one
reason why we all should do our
best to make it one grand success.
The picnic committee is holding
meetings every Thursday night and
they are doing their best to enter
tain all of the friends of organized
labor at the picnic Many amuse-
ments will be provided and it is up
to the good people of Butler County
to come out and help celebrate the
big event, Labor Day.

main purpose Of health teach
ing is not SO much to inculcate
knowledge about diseases as to
insure habits of living which
will enable children to escape
diseases and inefficiency. The
school hygiene of today is not
the school hygiene of yester-
day, but infinitely broader. It
has earnestly attacked the
whole problem of child welfare.
And this is right, for there is no
other institution through the
agency of which we can come
so near reaching all the children
of all the people.
It would be rash to set any
bounds to the schools possible
contribution to this end. In its
vocational instruction, play
supervision, moral education,
health examination, school feed
ing, and medical and dental
clinics. the school has once for
all cut loose from its moorings
to the three Rs.
It is foolish and short-sighted
to suppose that greater care and
activity on the part of the
schools in these matters will
undermine the parental sense
of responsibility, as some think.
Instead, it seems to be uni
versal law that the greater the
interest which society takes in
the child the more the parental
interest is stimulated.
The Heavy Toll of Disease
THE school must not think of
: children merely in terms OF
what they are. It must consider
also their probable future. Now

serious nervous disorder. To
grapple with this greatand grave
problem leading educators will
convene at Buffalo next month
in the Fourth international
Congress On School Hygiene.
Sex Hygiene For All
A MOTHER great need is the
= teaching of sex hygiene.
This is not only one of the most
important, but one of the most
difficult and embarrassing du-
ties of the teacher. The end in
view is to make certain elemen-
tary ideas common property OF
all intelligent people; to make
them a matter of course, to be
used unconsciously as a basis
of conduct.
So long as information of this
kind is forbidden knowledge, or
knowledge to be obtained on
the sly, SO long will the danger
of sex perversion exist.
It is especially important that
teachers be trained to take the
biological point of view. The
task of molding human life
can only be accomplished by an
appeal to those biological proc
esses common alike to animals
and to man. Therefore, teach
ers may be expected to famil-
iarize themselves, for example,
with the laws of growth, the
order of physiological maturity,
the causes of mortality and NOR
bidity, the relations between
physical and mental conditions
and the causes of fatigue. When
we have accepted this point of
view we shall cease to raise up
phantoms for children to fear in
their cropping ignorance.

This town claims 10 be the cucumber

Some 10000 of the cucumbers are

to pickle factories, the prices ranging
around 81. 35 a thousand. But that Is only
the summer cucumber business. and does

service. So it has come about that sery
ice is more than an ideal in Rotary-it is
responsibility of membership 1t soon
becomes a working principle in the life
of a Rotarian that the only trustworthy
means OF obtaining trade is to deserve
1t. Now the quality of service is gener-
ally the same. That which can obtain
trade for the manufacturer can nearly
always be adapted to the business of the
lawyer Hence meetings of Rotary clubs
have everywhere become market places
for the exchange of methods of service
or laboratories where the teachings of
the experience of many are crystallized
for the upbuilding of each.
with such training continued ii would
be surprising indeed II the members of
Rotary clubs did not fit themselves spe-
cially, each in his own sphere, for the
conduct of business upon an ever widen
ing scale. Service In the dictionary of
Rotary is service in the most worthy and
complete sense. Conscious of his own
ideal in his own life the Rotarian turns
readily to his brother In the organization
to obtain service of the same quality.
