Little Talks on Crime

Why does one boy 60 to prison
and another to career of useful
ness? That question comes to us
often.
There is no explanation that COW
ers all cases. 1t is certain that
crime and lawlessness spring from
disregard of authority.
The first symptom of this mala-
dy is seen in disregard for a pa.
rental.control in the home.
The young child who breaks
over every regulation that should
govern the home and is permitted
to do it, is developing lawless
spirit that is certain to bring grief
to parents and child later in life.
The boy who disregards the
wishes of parents at home will at
tempt to walk all over the authority
VI Uuc UcdCuCI dU SCuOOl.
Very early in the school career
of such a boy there will be con-
test between teacher and pupil to
! determine whether the authority
of the teacher is respected or the
boy permitted to 60 on in a career
of lawlessness.
This is the crisis period in the
boys life. If the teacher proves
to be the master of the situation,
by controlling the unsubdued boy
and overcoming the effect of pa
rental failure, the tide will be
turned in the boys life.
By creating a healthy regard for
authority, the teacher may be rob-
bing a prison cell of an inmate and
shaping life for honorable service
and good citizenship.
On the other hand, if the teacher
fails to create healthy regard for
authority, the boys days in school
will be dull and stormy, until he
either tires of school and quits or
is driven out for violation of set
regulations.
The boy has clashed with the
authority of both bone and school
and has not been controlled. His
next clash is with civil authority.
He may override the regulations
of city and state for time, but
sooner or later the officer of the
law lays hands upon him and the
next step is a prison cell.
The natural and certain outcome
of persistent disregard for
authority is a prison cell.-Charles
Parsons.

ERHAPS, without excep-
tion, the most enjoyable
Wednesday evenings en-

NESEz tiOn, the most enjoyable
| NXNO8A2N Wednesday evenings en-
EA gy tertainment which has
taken place in our Auditorium for
some time was that of last Wednes-
day evening" when a very good
movie show, a most excellent pa
triotic Grafton and delightful
musical program, that would have
been keenly enjoyed by the patrons
of any high class movie theater on
the outside, was presented for the
delectation of the intra- mural pop
ulation.
Miss Charlotte Greenwood, in
''Jane,' a Morosco production of
five reels, was the movie feature
of the evenings entertainment. 1t
was comedy of a very high order
and was thoroughly enjoyed by
the inmates, whose risibilities we're
continually aroused by the many
laugh-producing episodes. The act
ing was great" especially that of
Miss Greenwood, who made her
debut as a comedienne to the in
mate audience, and pictured part
entirely new and unique in the
comedy line.
After the second reel of the
movies had been run off, Warden
Reed introduced our ''O&cial Um-
pire," Mayor Kolliner of StiIlwa-
ter, who, without doubt, made one
of the most entertaining and i'm
pressive patriotic addresses that
the inmates have heard since the
United States entered the war.
Our "Oficial Umpire'' certainly
surprised the inmates by his
oratorical powers and his ability
to arouse the interest and hold the
attention of all those who heard
him, as was evidenced by the re-
peated applause that created all of
his most telling points.
Mayor Kolliner made it plain to
the inmates that what they had
done in a financial way towards
helping our country in this great
struggle was considered by those
on the outside as wonderful and
that every citizen of Minnesota
who had heard of the liberality of
the inmates of the Minnesota State
Prison appreciated their spirit of
generosity.
He spoke of the great American
game of baseball as being a game
of peace, but that the game upon
which we were now entering was
a game of blood and iron, and that
while the enemy, at the present
time we're having their innings and
are at the bat and making num-
Der of scores, our turn at the bat
was coming soon, and we would
''score! SCORE! SCORE!" and
finally win the game!
In speaking of the work of the
inmates at this institution, Mayor
KolIiner said that we must remem-
Der that the work which is being
done here is of the greatest i'm
portance to the country in helping
to win the war. The men who
are working at the machines in
the twine shop should picture in
their minds eye the starving peo-
pie of the down-trodden nations of
Europe, and that they should trans
late the click and hum of their
machines into the words: Hurry
Hurry Hurry" And those men
in the machine shop who are
listening to the clatter and crash
of machinery should remember
that the noise means: Rush !!
Rush! Rush !" On the farm,
when the first green shoots appear
above the ground, our farmers
who are watching the coming crop
with soliticious care, should say:

Text of Resolution.

1t is made clear in the resolution
that war conditions, over which the
Commissioners had no control, made
1t impossible to build the school after
the money was appropriated for the
building. In conclusion. it states:
Resolved. by the Rhode Island
Avenue Suburban Citizens Associa-
served by the aforesaid greatly need
ed additional school facilities so con-
templated by Congress, That the hon.
orable Commissioners of the District
of Columbia are hereby earnestly re-
quested to urge upon the Congress
lation authorizing and directing them,
the said Commissioners. to enter i'm
mediately upon contract for the
erection of a school building on the
site aforesaid. at cost not to exceed
such sum as the said Commissioners
of the District of Columbia may deem
necessary. under present conditions,
for the erection of said building in
accordance with the plans heretofore
prepared therefor and adopted by the
said Commissioners"
1t was brought out at the meeting
that four of the forty temporary
portable schools authorized by the
War Industries Board are to be To-
Gated in the associations territory
and probably will be set up for use
in the near future. These buildings,
it is expected. will go far toward re-
lieving school congestion pending the
erection of the permanent building.

A demand for milk. cream and butter
