new thing to advocate.
Miss Phelps statement that the
only thing which prevents indiscrim-
mate bathing and dressing together,
of men and women, girls and boys, is
mere prudery," we pass over, leaving
our readers to weigh just what her
words could possibly mean, and to
think of the logical outcome if sucn
views should become contagious. If
we are honestly looking for some Of
the causes of present day immoral
'ity'' and it's cure, why can't we see
them as all observing people can, and
do see them today? Instead of the
farcial imaginative picture of a
study of the nude" proving a cure for
immortality, why not be real honest
and admit that such methods have had
but one result in all ages, and that
certainly is not an end that would helm
solve present day problems of immor-
atty.
Why not look about us and see some
of the real causes that make for much
of the immortality Of today-conditions
which have within them the breaking
down of the walls of modesty and re.
spect for real virtue. The stage of to.

about them.

the matter of respect for decency and
modesty Much of the reading matter
We see now is a yelled acquiescence
in domestic infdelity and loose social
relations. All of these things are
bearing sure and deadly fruit,
The National Medical Association at
its meeting last year, gave out the
statement that the immodest styles Of
dress followed by many women the
past two years have had their part in
fostering the great evil of immortality
This statement is at least worthy rt
careful consideration.
We believe the real remedy can be
found and applied without the sugges-
tons coming to us from the new and
startling discoveries of the teachers

THE REAL CURE
Times-Recorder.

Editor Times-Recorder
A statement in a recent edition of
the Times-Recorder from an address
of Miss Phelps of Michigan State Nor
NAL, should not be allowed to pass
unchallenged. The statement is as
follows. Children of both sexes, AMI
adults as we'll, should battle and dress
together, frankly, openly and without
prudish apology" Miss Phelps also
urged open study of the nude, both for
adults and children as a corrective for
present day immortality.
If it is true that Miss Phelps holds
the views ascribed to her in the above
declaration, many a mother will pour
out thankful prayer that their chill
dren are not under the instruction Of
woman who must lack that discre-
ton any teacher should possess in
order that her teaching may not prove
absolutely hurtful.
Miss Phelps further advocacy of the
view that children should be taught
the true story of sex by the time they
reach their fifth year" is in keeping
with the more senseless tommyrot
that is being handed out by magazines
and dailies these latter days, from the
pens of some of their correspondents
on the subject of sex instruction for
children and young people. If this
thing continues, innocent childhood,
free from problems and truths that
belong to maturer years will be
thing of the past, and boys and girls

THE LETTER BOX
Under this head the TmesRecorder wM be glad publish
letters from readers subjects of interest," All articles
must be signed and the Times Recorders espon-
sibLe for expires sed in such communications

will have the question of sex drum
med into their ears on every side, so
it will necessarily loom up in an alb
normal way, bringing to pass evils
from which they have heretofore been
shielded.
Where one boy has sinned from ig-
norance in the past, we verify believe
five more will sin in the future, from
the thought life created and kept alire
by an endless discussion of sex. That
parents should carefully and wisely
give instruction of the right sort at
the right time, no thinking perosn will
deny. That the proper reading matter
should be placed in the hands of boys
and girls at the proper age, is also a
known truth but to tear aside the
veil Of modesty and sacredness, win
which these subjects should be
shrouded, is to turn hottest truth into
material for merely gratifying COARSE
and idle curiosity in premature years
of childhood
These matters belong to the sacred
home circle, and sex instruction has
no place in the public school, no mat
ter how conscientious and capable the
teachers. When parents have done
their duty, there is nothing left for a
teacher to do in regular and definite
instruction along this line at school
1t is kind of hobby some educators
are riding now, and many others are
mounting the same steed to blindly
follow, not properly weighing for
themselves the value of the ideas"

1t Depends On The Man

Of a later generation and like eX-
amples are numerous in the fields OF
literature and science. On the other
hand instances are not wanting to
prove that gray hairs are not essential
to full grown greatness in ony line Of
human endeavor. Pitt became prime
of England when scarce be-
yond the threshold of humanity, and
Napoleon emulated the military tri-
umphs of Alexander when still sneer-
ed at by the grizzled veterans of Eu-
rope as "a beardless hoy" but his final
overthrow came at the hands of
Schwartzenburg and Butcher, both
septuagenarians. Byron rose to fame
in a single night, when yet in the
bloom of youth, while Walter Scott
only began his career of authorship
when beyond the prime of life. Ma
ture has no inviolable law on this
subject which can be blindly followed
DR.. Osler is a living refutation of his
own theory, and on the contrary 81
has been abundantly demonstrated
during the last century that youth is
no bar to perfected ability. 1t all de-

he deserves none. Every body has
turned against the monster-destroyer

oyerhor Calls on People to Contribute
To Sufferers in Europe.
State of Mississippi,
Executive Department,

State of Mississippi,
Executive Department,
Jackson, Miss, Nov. Is, 1914.
Since the birth of our union it has
been a custom to set apart one day in
bach year as one of general thanks
giving. This is called to the attention
pf our people by proclamation of the
president and the governors Of the
several states.
Reaping having followed sowing,
land time having been given us to re-
count our failures and disappoint-
ments and to take an inventory Of our
successes and blessings, it is fitting
+ that this season Of the year be fixed
by the observance of one day when
our prayers shall ascend for blessings
received and for ealamities averted.
We have much to be thankful for.
While the greater part Of Europe is
plunged in death grapple, thousands
falling daily on the battle field, the
manned and wounded filling every
hospital, homes desolated, families
separated and untold misery being
endured, we of America have only
felt the i'll effects in a comparatively
small way in our business affairs. Our
crops have been large; our people have
been free from epidemic, pestilence
and disease. We have the necessaries
and many of the Injuries of life. God
has been merciful to US and it is not
for mortals to question the wisdom OF
providence that war has spread over
the European continent.
The human race is one family. The
sorrows and trials of one member OF
this family finds sympathetic chord
iE America. Large sums are needed to
alleviate distress in Belgium and
other warning countries. Our atten-
ton has been called to this need by
the Macedonian cry that has gone to
the ends Of the earth. earnestly
urge those who have an abundance
that out of that abundance they make
substantial contribution in the way of
food, clothes and money for our needy
neighbors across the Atlantic. Out
Thanksgiving can take no nobler form.
Recognizing the appropriateness OF
a day Of general thanksgiving, I, Earl
Brewer, governor of the state Of Mis-
sissippi, do issue this my proclama-
ton setting apart Thursday, Nov. rs,
1914, as Thanksgiving Day. suggest
and urge that our stores and places Of
business be. closed; that our people
meet in our churches and other places
of public assemblage and return
thanks to our Father for the blessings
we enjoy. Let our supplications as
