LESSONS ALL RIGHT

Waller high school, Chicago, is the
latest instructor to remove the Ice
pack from bulging brow and give
to the world the Inspiration no found
by putting his brain in cold storage.
1t is this: kissing according to
scientific rules, and huGglng accord

part OF tho school course to Mt the
etudonb for married 1ifel
This instruction, according to
Professor Blounts inspiration, must
begin with infancy and continue
through life right up to the altar,
The bride or groom who Is a grad
uate In the art OF making love. and
wears a diploma to the altar, will
be the greatest success as partner
in matrlmony, according to the Chi
cago professor.

"need to be alone together IheIr

ought to have opportunity for their
endearments."

sniff and Father snort, and If you

"Courtship," adds Prof. Blount,
"ought to be studied carefully by
those lntrusted with the training OF
young people, to the end that it may
lead up to beautiful married life. "
But married life is the very last
thing that battle-scarred Father and
that tired veteran of unceasing war,
Mother, desire for the children they
send off to school, and II Prof
Blount knows as much OF the hu-
man heart as he knows of books, ne
is aware of 1t.
"Courtship," says the man from
Chicago, sis too important a factor
in life to be dwarfed by undue es-
pionage. Young people must be pre-
pared for it by proper training, and
then, only after adequate instruction
should they be provided the oppor-
tunity for private meeting"

Professor Blount hasn't carefully
considered the difficulties to be en-
countered in this important training
for along no other line will it be as
impossible to find i cal instructors
The instruction, he says, must be-
gin In infancy which means that
mothers will have to be put on the
public school payroll, for, who or
earth but a mother will practise with
the wet, sloppy kiss of babyhood,
kiss that in it's crude state tastes OF
buttermilk and suggests the milky
way, and make of it kiss thai
tastes good and doesn't blot? Would
any spinschool teacher do it?
There will be shrinking on the
part of the teachers in the primary
grades when compelled TO teach 6

PUP or a frog, and who looks as i
he hadn't washed his face since
Easter, and this "hrinking will re
