OUR FUTURE CITIZENS

The word mas been made safe for
democracy. Now democracy must be
assured by a strong and nealtny clti-
zenshIp, able in m.nd and body, fully
equipped to assist in the development
of the new wOrld-order being created
today This is the task that conf onts
the state. This problem is upon us
now. 1t must be faced with the same
enthusiasm and intelligence, the same
spirit OF selflessness and sacrifice that
has been shown in the war.
Such a spirit has been shown i'll
Missouri by the group of men and
women who have, as members OF the
Missouri Childrens Code Commission,
for the last two years given much of
their time and energy in the prepara-
tion of the constructive program of
chili-care, known as the "children's
cCde," to be submitted to the coming
session of the Legislature. This COM
MISSION was appointed by Governor
Gardner to revise the laws relating TO
children and to recommend such new
Legislation as is necessary for proper
ly safeguarding the cnildlen of the
state.
Under this children's code, educa-
ton and training TOR life and work is
placed within the reach OF every fu-
ture citizen; treatment is provided
children with mental and physical de-
IeCts, sucn as the feeDle-mInded, deaf,
band and crIppied cnIluren; the Oes-
utu,e anu neglecIed cnIIGren are cared
TO- Dy Inc sLaue. Here is a program
wnIcn Will go Iar TO prevent poverty,
u.sease ana crime.
The task OF preparing this children's
code Ior Missouri Is over. The COM
mission mas spent many months care
1uIIy studying the conditions in the
s,a,e aHecung the lives OF chIlLren.
1t mas stuuIed the present statutes in
Missouri relating to children and rec
ommenus the revision Of many of
tnem. 1t has asked authorities In ev-
cry state IN the UnIOIn wnat their eX-
perence has been in dealing with
these cnlIuren's problems. Inc work
OF the commission is over. The obli-
gatIOn now lies with the people OF the
state and with the members OF the
Legislature.

Hospital Unit 2S, which has been sta
toned at Limoges, France, since last
June, writes TO mis- parents that he has
been temporarily transferred to the
stars and Stripes, the official news
paper OF the American Exped. tionary
Forces. MIR. Parry was formerly a
student in the School of Journalism
Of the University.
In writing Of his new work he says
that it may mean London for him, or
the Rhine, or Germany, as the paper
will have representatives wherever
there are American soldiers, but, he
says, wherever l am, Uncle Sam will
take good care of me-"
Mr.. Parry's transfer was made two
days after the armistice was signed,
and he writes from Paris November
IA:
After reaching Paris | decided to
80 to Versailles and see the Palace
National and the Grand TrianOn and
all the wonderful places of history
there, returning early in the after
noon for the celebration and parade
in honor of the restoration of the lost
provinces of Alsace and Lorraine.

leon and saw the rooms occupied by
Queen Victoria when she visited
there; the Halls of Congress, a place
used only once in seven years, when
the deputies meet and elect a presi-
dent of the republic. l was then asked
by an American colonel 10 go with his
party to the Galerie de Glace, where
the kaiser's father was crowned King
of Prussia in 1870, and where in the
same room it is said that France will
ask to have the new treaty signed. At
one end of this galerie is the Room
of Peace and at the other end the
Room of War The palace chapel is
a beautiful place, where Louis and
his queen used to sit in state while
their people prayed below. 1t is hard
to relaize how humans could spend |
SO much money, and one can readily |
see why there was a revolution"
