STATE ASKED
TO AMEND LAWS
FOR CHILDREN

FOR CHILDREN
Creation of child welfare
bureau in the state board of
control where much like work
is already carried on and estab--
lishment of a board of chill
dren's guardians in each coun-
ty of the state, are important
recommendations in a plan by
which Minnesota will better pro-
vide and care for dependent, ne
elected and delinquent children,
as presented to Governor J. A.
A. Burnquist by voluntary
commission on revision of laws
relating to children.
The powerful and wealthy
state, says the report signed by
Chairman E. F. Waite, judge of
the Hennepin county juvenile
court, and which probably will
go to the next legislature, is un-
der a three-fold obligation to
provide every child a fair chance
to begin life sound in mind and
body and with two responsible
parents; a reasonable opportun-
ity for development appropriate
to its natural capacity in body,
mind and morals, and the great
est practical relief from the per-
manent consequences of his
wrongdoing and correction re-
straints of his antisocial ten
dencies.
On this basis the need is cited
for new legislation and changes
in present laws. Marriage law
amendments as recommended
would add communicable di-
seases to the list of barriers to
legal marriages; require publ
cation Of applications for mar
riage licenses and a delay be-
tween the making Of the appli-
cation and the marriage and
provide for the examination Of
both parties as to the legality
of the proposed marriage instead
Of one as heretofore.
More adequate state facilities
for the care and supervision of
the feeble-minded to prevent
propagation of that class is the
subject of another recommends
ton.
Provision for compulsory COM
mitment of feeble-minded per-
sons under proper safeguards,
express authority to the state
health department to regulate
against ''baby blindness" and
venereal diseases, and legisla-
ton to increase the responsible
ties of the adjudged father of
an illegitimate child are other
proposals in the general plan to
better insure the welfare of the
/ unIOfCunaJo cnllQ.
| A measure to make child aban-
donment felony under certain
conditions and another relating
to adoptions are other recon-
mendations by the commission.
Because eugenic laws of 9th
er states are proving impractic-
al and for that reason are fail
/ ing to bring results expected,
the Minnesota plan as proposed
in a revision of laws relating to
children and based on conserva-
tive and thoroughly practical
views of the commission per-
|fecting it, is a model in the opin-
lion of experts.
Amendments to the present
statutes on marriage are simply
common n-sense proposals. Com
lmunicable diseases will be added
to epilepsy, feeble-mindedness
and insanity, the present list of
barriers to legal marriage. To
prevent hasty marriages, it is
proposed to require lapse of
ten days for publication of the
license application before the
marriage takes place and fur

THE SEASIDE ASSEMBLY
Prospects Brighter Than Ever Before
Charity and Children.

Notwithstanding the turbulence of
the times, the prospects for the Sea-
side Assembly at Wrightsville Beach
are brighter than ever before. One
reason for the hopeful outlook is that
DR.. John Jeter Hurt, the pastor of
the First Baptist church of Whining
ton is on the spot, and DR.. Hurt is a
man who has never been able to spell
the word fail. And the program COM
mittee has done excellent work in
providing list of speakers that
would make an assembly a success at
Pembroke or Parmele. The Assembly
opens June 28th and will wind up on
the 4th of July with stirring ad-
dress appropriate to the occasion by
the most engaging public speaker in
North Carolina-Governor Beckett,
as A. T. Robertson, D. D., of Louis
vile, one of the foremost Greek schol-
ars in the world. Rev. Wesley Brun-
er of Raleigh will deliver several lee
lures on evangelism. and it would be
hard to surpass this selection any
where in the South, as DIR. Bruner

tors conference will be in charge of
DR.. Vines of Charlotte, DR.. Hale of
Lexington, DR.. Greaves of Lumber

Forest. Conducting the Woman's
conference such women as Mrs. w. N.
Jones Of Raleigh, Mrs. H. T. Pope of
Lumberton, Mrs. H. c. Moore of
Raleigh, Miss Ruth Caldwell of Lum-
berton and Miss Bertha Carroll of
Raleigh will appear. Special lectures
will be delivered by Rev. R. F. Y.

E.. M. Wharton, D. D., of Baltimore,
Rev. John Roach Straton, D. D. of
Norfolk and Rev. B. D. Gray, D. D.
Of Atlanta. The music will be in
charge of L.E.Wolslagel of Asheville,
Such feast of reason and flow of
soul has rarely been offered to our
people. Mr.. E.. L. Middleton our
Sunday school secretary is glowing
with enthusiasm over the fine pros
poets and if this bill of fare will not
draw a crowd to Wrightsville they
cannot be drawn. The hotels will not
over charge. Arrangements have al
ready been made. and the prices of
entertainment will be reasonable
ranging from $3.50 to $500 a day.
We sincerely hope to see great out

Mrs. Lindsay Patterson in Progress

Really it seems as if the least as
well as biggest and finest thing we
Little Gardeners" can do this year
is to plant the whole face Of the earth
in corn and depend on that almost
entirely for our bread so the wheat
may all go to the starving ones
across the sea. Personally, I prefer
corn bread anyhow, and everything
that corn can be turned into is good.
even rejoice in the popcorn balls
with the children, so it's no hard
ship. Then, too, eating corn bread
will kill a whole flock Of birds with
one stone. It will enable US to Give
at home" and reduce the high cost
Of living, which we bring on our
selves by paying some farmer West
or North, who has no more sense than
we have, to raise food for US that we
could easily raise for ourselves. We
could save the freight, and the rail-
roads could turn their. attention to
coal and other necessities that must
be hauled. We could keep our money
at home-exeept plenty for the for
eign missionaries. (Patience knows
We don't ever want to be SO economl-
cal that we let the servants of God
suffer.) I fairly lie awake at night
thinking of places to plant corn or

TYPHOID PREVENTION
A PATRIOTIC SERVICE

Epidemic Reported-Typhoid Costs
State Millions Of Dollars-Counties
Making Arrangements to Fight
Typhoid i
On account Of an epidemic Of typhoid
fever, of 25 Or more cases, IN one
of the most prosperous counties OF
the State, but one that has never con-
Quoted an anti-typhoid campaign Tor
its people, the State Board of Health
is moved to say that while it does
not believe that the food conserva-
ton idea is being over-stressed IN
the State, it does believe that the
conservation Of health is matter
quite as important from patriotic
viewpoint as any movement the State
can adopt. The board says that it
cannot imagine greater calamity
Detailing the country than uncontrol-
led outbreaks Of sickness and dis
ease coupled with hunger and NAL
nutrition. Therefore it is advising
that while people do all in their pow
er to raise more food and take care
of what they make, that they become
not unmindful Of conserving the 9TH
er important forces of life, particular
ly the productive forces like health.
The board points out that there are
about 744 deaths from typhoid fever
in North Carolina every year, and
7.44O cases of illness from this dis
ease. Allowing $4,000 for each death,
the accepted money value Of a death
from typhoid, this disease costs the
State something like $2,157 800,
which amount does not include any
of the cost of the sickness or time
lost by the 6,696 patients who got
we'll. -'~-i-''
Just here, the board believes, coun-
ty commissioners can go a long way
toward helping their counties to con-
serve their resources, both in money
and human lives, by making arrange
ments for a campaign against ty-
phoid this summer. They may have
to spend a small sum. Of money to
pay doctors for their time in giving
the anti-typhoid vaccine, it is true,
but the sum spent will in no wise
compare with the sum saved, not only
for this summer, perhaps, but for
several years to come.
The means Of preventing typhoid
fever by vaccination, says the board,
has So proven it's efficiency, that
Wake county and the city of Raleigh
have made arrangements for another
county and city campaign to be con-
Quoted this summer. Two years ago,
this city and county were among the
first in the State to wage campaign:
Greene county, also Caldwell, will
conduct county wide campaigns
against typhoid this summer.

Common and Vulgar

The distinguished woman who
made the literary address at the
closing Of the State Normal college
at Greensboro may not have got off
much poetry and classical references
to literature, but she certainly told
the young ladies some sensible and
lssaful things. The most striking
one was the statement that wasteful-
ness is not only sinful but vulgar and
common. Those Of the present gen
Grafton who imbibed the sentiment of
the preceding generation which was
necessarily clothed in an atmosphere
of fraguality, have never quite got
over the idea then Promulgated that
waste was sinful. But somehow the
idea Of sin held not much check for
the present generation. Expense and
display and waste and extravaganza
might go on if it were merely sinful.
Sinfulness might go hang along with
other more rigorous doctrines of the
past. But if waste is vulgar and
common, that is something else. Of
course it is vulgar and common and
has always been, but nobody has been
saying so. If the necessities of war
should teach US that they will not be
in vain.
And the lady speaker told some
thing else, close akin to the other.
That is that she had noticed that the
expenditures for dress were always
on rising scale, bull market, so
to speak. Now, if a man had said
this, we men folks might have been
afraid to repeat it. But it was not
a mere man. 1t was a woman, and
one speaking with apparent authority
before a body Of women. So to speak,
it is ex cathedra. Did the lady mean
to say that the women might take a
spoonful less of sugar and dollar 5
worth more of hose? Did she mean
to say that-or but what's the use
The point is that if this war is going
to put all the men to work, as we
devotedly hope it will since we have
a war, what should it do for the wo-
men in the matter of useless and ex-
travagant expenditure?

BULLY FOR NORTH DAKOTA

Duluth Herald: Since there was
criticism Of North Dakota's partlclpa-
ton in the first Liberty Loan, it is
only fair to note that there certainly
can be no criticism of its part in the
second Liberty Loan.
Assigned a quota of six million dol
lars, North Dakota seems to have sub
scribed more than ten million and a
haitian over-suhscription of seventy
six per cent.
Of the fourteen districts into which
the state was divided, all but one over
subscribed it's share. In one township
of Barnes county every farmer was a
subscriber.
This, after poor crop year-a Sec
ond poor crop year-is doing mighty
we'll, and Minnesota is proud of its
neighbor. e
Another tribute to North Dakota
comes in the statement of the mayor
of Charlotte, North Carolina, where
thirty-fve hundred North Dakota mill
tiamen are training along with other
troops from the farther Northwest,
that it has not been necessary to ar
rest single man for any infraction
of the civil law, and that 1--WE take off
