fathers and mothers are so educated
as to be able to teach their children
the true laws of life from an early age.
every school and center of young life
should have instructors TO teach the
dangers of sickness and disease. To
be warned is To be forearmed. If
mother wants her children to be
strong and healthy. she must teach
them purity. If we do not wish TO fail
like Rome, we must realize our re-
sponsibilities as fellow citizens of this
great country in raising strong and
powerful race to face the great world
must not leave children to servants, or
trust too much TO schools.
The European war taught the world
in way which should never he for

Thousands of young men have gone
out from the office and the warehouse
and the factory. pale and thin, and
after few months of open-air life and
physical training have developed into

discovered the value of physical fit
