PRECOCIOUS VICE

There is growing up in III days a certain precoGty in vice which
should alarm the people of the entire land. Somehow it goes hand in
hand with a marked frankness in the treatment of subjects hitherto pro-
scrhoed and which purport to " the growing generation from the
evils OF ignorance" It seems this generation is not only sufficiently
supplied with information but is possessed of a tendency o make use of
it not for the purpose of toying with vice with impunty.
This very sufhciency is a consequence perhaps never contemplated
by the eager instructors Of the young. In making a clinic OF the most
intimate problems and, at the same time furnish the key whereby the
adept la avoid the cry obscure pitfalls that otherwise by reason IF
their very obscuity and terror would keep them at a safe distance.
clear that it is a substantial and concrete problem. Nevada has been free
to a great measure from these scanda1s-these incongruous adnixtures
of experienced depravity and immaturity-but it is no sign the freedom
will be long. In educational institutions Of neignbor states, in the high
schools and ven graded schools, stories are told that should make the
parent cringe with fear. In all of them the main question seems
to be n of consequences rather than Of the effect o n character and
reputation. 1t is {, alike, with the education that is given on such
subjects-the avoidance of material consequences to the litter disregard
OF the oHghtng and corroding influence OF a disregard of the rules Of
social decency.
1t is to be hoped a public spirit will soon arise that will do away with
the clinical treatment of moral subjects and that such a wav will be evil
denced before the consequences OF the present tide of materiaism re
