We should keep in mind the

fact that just as they are incap-
able of grasping the serious side
of life, so are they incapable of
judging the merits or dement's of
their amusements.
1t is our duty as guardians of
the morals of the community to
see that our young people are not
only kept free from the WRONG
amusements, but are FURNISH
ED with the RIGHT kind.
An up-t -to-date opera house or
CLEAN moving picture show is a
modern necessity in every town.
A frst-class gymnasium, ball
park, etc. are essential to the
right development of our young
people.
The churches and parents are
charged with the moral develop
ment of our children. The schools
are held accountable for their
mentality and educational quail
fcations.
But amusement alone can de-
velop that physique which will
insure success in the commercial
pursuits Of later life, and which
will supply the health that leads
to ripeness of age.
Study this subject over care
fully, you mothers and fathers.
Consider the buoyant spirits and
overflowing energies of your boys
and girls, and recognize the plain
truth that they MUST have an
outlet. Then ask yourself the
question: "Are we furnishing
them SAFE and HARMLESS
means of diversion?
Never fear but they can find
amusement in plenty if we turn
them loose to hunt for it. They'll
find it, and it may suit them, but
will the QUALITY suit us?
1t would be we'll for US to pause
in the chase of the dollar long
enough to make sure that the
young people of our community
have sufficiency Of SAFE and
HEALTHY amusement.
We spend thousands in fitting
them to chase the dollar. 1t were
better if we spent a portion Of
those thousands in tiding them
over the period of their lives
when they are most liable to con
tract habits that will UNFIT them
for ALL of life.
