SAYS MUCH SEX VICE DUE
TO MISUNDERSTANDING
Arthur \. POiSsant Discusses CUES.
ton OF Publicity Campaign With
Associated Charities.

Arthur A. Poissant. secretary of
the Worlds Purity federation. lee
tured Monday afternoon at the regu-
lar weekly meeting Of the council
of the Associated Charities. The
speakers message was the educa-
ton along the lines Of sex teaching.
Two points especially were stress
ed by NJ. POissant in his talk. He
advocated the raising of a $4,000
fund TO be used in conducting a
publicity campaign in which pamph-
let's printed in many languages
might be distributed. The second
point in his lecture was that the
public should be awakened to the
pitfalls and dangers of society, and
that parents should instruct their
children about sex problems.
The speakers theory for the pre-
valence Of SO much sex vice and
trouble was that there was a lack
OF understanding on the part OF
many persons. He held that eu-
genics should not be taught in the
public schools AT the present be-
cause the teachers are not prepared
nor equipped 90 give this instruc-
ton.

TWP. TRUSTEES
TO COOPERATE
First General Meeting of Off
GERS of County HeId-DitCh
Law Discussed.

Cooperation among the township
trustees in conducting the business
affairs OF the IL townships Of St
Joseph county was the Keynote Of a
meeting Of the trustees held Mon
day afternoon at the court house.
This was the first general meeting
OF the trustees held for any other
purpose than TO transact the busi-
ness OF the county board OF educa-
ton AL Of the trustees were pres
ent at the meeting. as also was
County Atty HOulihan and County
Surveyor Mcclellan. Another sim
liar meeting viii be held on Mon
day. March 10.
The trustees paid particular atten-
ton Monday 70 the operation Of the
ditch law. 1t was agreed that, where
possible. the bitches would be cared
for under the provisions Of the 1913
ditch law, whereby each property
owner may clean the portion Of a
ditch running through his land The
1915 ditch law provides for the Sc
curing OF contracts on the cleaning
OF IN entire ditch. Where property
owners agree. the trustees will abide
by the old law. In the opinion Of
County Atty. HOulihan. a discrimina-
ton can be made so that the pro-
visions of the new law can be ap-
piled in individual cases where prop
erty owners are not willing TO abide
by the provisions OF the old law.
Attention was given also 10 the
matter of hauling overweight loads
contrary to the provisions OF a law
which specifies the width OF wagon
tires for certain loads The purpose
OF the law is 10 aid in preserving the
roads The trustees agreed that
more strict attention should be given
TO the prosecution Of violators of the
law.
The matter or greatest import
ance to come up at the next meet
ing will be that Of arranging for the
turning over TO the county of some
so miles OF free graveled roads
The portion of the automobile tax
now received back from the state by
St Joseph county is based on the
existence Of only 40 miles Of county
free graveled roads This amount Of
the automobile tax money received
by the county can be trebled If all
the graveled roads can be put under
the supervision of the county super
intendent OF roads This applies to
such roads as have the regulation
20-foot road bed. To turn such roads
over to the county it is necessary TO
secure the petition OF three free
holders for each mile of road.
At the next meeting the trustees
will plan also For uniform methods
in caring for the improved roads and
in improving other roads.
