HARDING PLEADS FOR
THE HOME SPIRIT
President Elect Calls on the Mother
hood of America for Proper
Training Of Children.

Marion, Ohio, Dec. IS. - American
mothers were asked by President
elect Harding tonight to give to school
officials and other public servants
full measure of cooperation in the ed
ucational, religious and physical
training of children.
Speaking here before state meet
ing of the Child Conservation League
Mr. Harding said it was the duty of
motherhood to keep the oldtime home
spirit alive in spite of the growing
tendency to entrust the instruction of
the child almost wholly to public in
stitutions. He made a particular plea
that religious training be kept within
the province of the heart and voiced a
hope for revival of religious rever-
ence in the trying times ahead.
The President-elect also asked that
/ the public welfare agencies of the ma
tion be kept democratic and expressed
disapproval of the practice of the ricl
in withdrawing their children from
the public schools and entering then
in private institutions. He reaffirme'
his hope that great good would be &C
complished by the new Public Welfar
Department to be proposed by his ad
ministration and said he had foun
sentiment in and out Of Congress
, strongly supporting the plan.
