Barometer of Public Opinion
Clgnrcts IlyIdcncc OF ImmornlIty.

Editor World In these enlightened times It
s astonishing how many people cling firmly 10
prejudice which has no Justification in logic and
mistake tho appeals OF illogical tradition for
the appeals Of conscience. 1t is true. however.
that In all ages there have been people who
urged their unconsdercd prcjudccs with all
the force, Of moral conviction and were unduly
shocked because tile thinking public tolerated
approved things which their warped
sciences would not permit
These remarks are drawn out by several re-
cent cases Of people supposed TO be too en-
lghtoned to Indulge a. such folly. or course
there are some congressman who do not come
under the classification OF "eullEhtened," OK
Ccpt by Inference because OF their position, but
tho whole country rs laughing over attempts to
stamp out beauty contests and to make it un-
lawful To impcrsonate royalty In a play. But
right here at home somebody. perhaps In a
Joke, urged the city commissioners to Off
cially put end to the straw hat season. But
stiN more serious, the paper this morning an
nounces Bishop Mougons solemn conclusion
that the women OF Europe are immoral be-
cause many of them smoke cigavels. II the
bishop Is right we know OF many preachers
lawyers editors. business men and statesmen
some OF the countrys best citizens and bright
est minds and conscientious Chrlstians-who
must be included in his catalog OF moral de-
generates.

church over an argument about meat that had
been offered to idols being unfit for Chris

DO and Don't Method for Children
by NORA COLE SKINNER

Child study has become such an
impoTtaut issue OF the day that
psycholoEists are constantly study
ing the young child's mind and
largely agree that there is no sense
OF right or wrong in IL.
And yet they widely disagree an
to the treatment OF the "malady.'
In a greater part of the teaching
correction or punishment is thing
of the past-just let the children
do what they want to do, other
wise you might retard their de-
velopment and their individuality.
However, when you see them
heuded for the AnaniaS club or the
penitentiary, 1t seems to us a little
retarded development might not be
amiss II they know no sense Of
right and wrong and are going TO
develop one way or the other, II
Is natural to believe the odds are
fifty-fifty and that they will go
the wrong way about as quickly as
as the right, and sometimes little
quicker.
II they get started off wrong that
is the time to stop them, To wait
and see how they develop is too
late. when they are young II 4
little reasoning will not stop the
wrong development, little strap
will,
This is not modern teaching We
stamp ourselves old-fogy and out OF
date to advocate IT, The modern
way is the do" meth ID and not
the don't" But we saw Ihc

he was hit. The owner came out
and said:
''Dh, Robert, don't do that"
And wise little Robert, as he
