Are the Children In
School Being Trained
Best For the Battle?

J. Sanders. warden of ne state prison in
Florence Arz. says In recent letter 90 the
Paa isrs club in Detroit
"isuoraace Of the laws OF governing me iupul.
SEES and emotions. lack az sslttise re and self
control are the causes eof crime. ard until We
have learned these things an are potential erin

In order to eliminate crime. then. we mus, de-
vote ourselves 70 the strengthening OF the VIII

In other words BUILD CHARACTER and this
is exactly what the Pathanders club is trlng 70
Our negative emotions such as worry fear, an
ger jealousy must BE- held in check or they viii
destroy Us either thru loss o. health or Of moral
calibre, wAioh results in crime.
Sanders believes that the man who commits
crime is az ignorant. uncivilized man even tho he
may have had college education.
He is without self disc piine and self control
and lacking these, he believes that we are an
barbarians.
It IS obvious from this that this important
training begins in TIE young chnd.
It's mother is It's first teacher and should DO
what is possible, not 20 break the vii u the
child but TO turn it in the right direction
Nearly anyone who h1s observed the children
OF today will realize that this early lesson OF
self control has not been learned. No one thinks
much Of II and II It stopped there. little harm
would be done
In the school children are held IN check by
certain amount Of authority but the actual train
ing OF their wills. for the purpose Of doing the
RICH; thing, IRRESPECTIVE OF AUTHORITY.
IS thing NOT considered
In some hazy sort Of a way. they are expected
to evolve that out Of themselves and for Their.
selves without education OF constructive IA
ture
Sanders is OF the opinion that the American
schools are turning our human waste a. finished
product. and that the most important function
of the school that OF character bl.iding has been
utterly overlooked

We mean that all ones past energies

power masses as he goes forward, in

SO we look at Bernhardt with wonder.

The international army and navy could

A MAJORITY representation in the

jority would vote in the court TO fight

Actual Phone Talk
Heard in Palisade
On a Crossed Wire

A crossed wire the other evening
gave "Palisadian" representative
few minutes of real fun. He was
in the act of calling number him
self when there came long, unend-
ing ring. Then when it was over and
the reporter undertook to say "Hello
he heard voices from crossed wire.
ooh, l saw you last night" said
one voice.
"Did you? l didn't see you," came
the answer.

"You think so? Thank you. How

"Oh, you mean thing, you! He's

"Glad you think so. When you
going to let me come up?"

Then the telephone man caught on
that the lines were crossed, and that
is as far as the conversation progress
sed. But it was enough to convince
the reporter that he had broken in on
a couquette and very serious young
man.

Young Girl on Ferry
Crows to Doll Baby .
And Attracts Notice

A very pretty young gilr, eighteen
or nineteen years old, rather well
dressed, and pretty, of course, created
unusual interest Monday morning
last on, the 6:30 ferry boat from
Edgewater.
She came in through the women's
cabin alone, carrying small pack
age done up in newspaper. She
passed out to the front of the boat
and stood near the iron railing.
Then she suddenly tore off the wrap
per from the package and disclosed
one of the park chubby dollies about
ten inches high, which she held in
front of her face and talked to in
the most affectionate and motherly
baby-talk fashion She crooned songs
to it, smiled, laughed, and made
pretty faces at the little effigy, and
seemed to be so terribly in earnest
that it became almost pathetic
incident. Totally oblivious to all
eyes, she continued her fondling with
the dollie until just before landing
on the New York side, another older
woman went up and spoke to her.
Then she stopped singing and the
two spoke few hurried words and
the boat landed. The girl went on
off the ferry with her newly found
acquaintance. She wore no hat.
