Diseases of Youth

The United States Public Healtl
Service has recently completed study
Of several thousand cases Of venereal
disease. II was shown that infections
occurred most frequently between the
ages OF II and Is years. Just at the
time OF life that character is being
formed, habits established, and plans
! for the future being matured; ;and
when hope burns brightest in seeing
visions Of a separate home and fam
lily.
These diseases therefore, may prop
erly be called diseases of youth, and
the; control and possible elimination
is problem of early life.
The report says, "The best protec-
ton Of youth against the venereal
menace is sound knowledge and train
ing regarding the'sex life. Many chill
dren reach the age of 10 and 20 with
out any real understanding Of the sex
instinct. Yet these young people have
'NSSS SS''SSihihB oSN. IHS pan WHICH
instinct plays in life is too large for
them miss it atogeather. Too often
these IDEAS are false or distorted. The
source OF information is not trust
WORTH or of doubtful value.
The light kind must be provided. Pa
rents and every organization and in
stitu,ion which deals with activities OF
youth must see TO it that all possible
steps are taken to instruct young peo-
pie correctly in regard to sex nature.
This s especially the duty Of parents.
for self control may be most easily
developed in boyhood and grlhood
when the influence Of the parents is
the greatest.
Churches, clubs, schools, welfare
organizations, and the entire communi-
ty en- supplement the direct instruc-
tion through their influence on the
conduct of young people and on the
activities Of the parents. Let the
boys and girls know the facts con-
corning venereal disease. 1t will be
their best defense"

A NEEDED MEASURE

During the war, the government,
not only thru its regular departments,
but many bureaux founded for war
purposes, issued a food of literature,
some of it necessary but good deal
useless. The newspapers printed
nearly all then, free for nothing, be-
cause it was no time to pick and
choose. 1t is evident that no one ex-
pected the practice to continue any
longer than absolutely necessary.
However, the close of the war has
rot cut off and but little reduced the
stream of printed argument that is
poured into newspaper Offices with ev-
cry mail. 1t looks to us as tho most
oil the newspapers have quit printing
the stuff, but it continues to be sent
to them. War literature being no
longer appropriate, lot of so-called
economic, scientific, financial, agricul-
tural and sociological matter has
taken its place.
It seems to the Star that the news
papers should unite and make sus-
tanned demand on Congress that the
sending out of this sort of literature
should be stopped. IT costs an inn
mense amount of money, which the
taxpayers have to supply.
The government, like everything
else, in time of peace, when it has
something it particularly wants to
bring to the attention OF the public,
should do SO by regular paid adver-
Using. 1t would cost it less to pay
for advertising than to pay for the
paper and ink it is now throwing
away, and the advertising would get
further than the bottom of the edi-
tors waste basket
Cali this matter to The attention Of
your senator and representative.

THE HOLIDAY LAW

The boys and girls Of the high
school, who went on a strike against
the abbreviation If their Christmas
holiday Moaday, were under the inn
preston that their school alone was
the victim Of an unexpected regula-
ton.
IN this they were mistaken. The
rule applies to all the public schools in
the state and is in compliance with the
following law, passed at the last meet
ing of the legislature:
"sec. 6. (432). Vacation and Holl-
days-All public schools shall observe
the period from December oath to
January /, both days inclusive, as a
vacation, and independence Day and
Thanksgiving Day as holidays, and no
ore of these days shall be counted as
taught in teachers monthly report.
It is reported here that the school
boards of some other counties have
disregarded the law and given two
weeks Christmas holiday as usual,
but this of course would not excuse
the Marion school board, which has no
discretion in the matter.
We do not see any reason for this
new regulation. The children have al
ways had two weeks holiday at Christ
mas, and we fail to see what argu-
ment can be advanced for shortening
the time. The teachers who live in
other parts of the state will have in
adequate time to go home, rest and
return. Home school boys and girls
will have to return to their studies
while those who &C to schools in
other states or colleges in this one
will have another week. The law is
not a hardship but it is an useless
curtailment of the pleasure of the
young folks at the very time of the
year when holiday means the most
to them.
This law was not in response to
any popular demand-in fact, the
people didn't know it was passed until
it was sprung on them. However, it
is the law, and the only thing school
children can do about it is to grow up
and try to send to the legislature men
who will repeal it and all the other
fool laws on the statute books.
