"The dolls have clothes that button

the dolls become real members Of the
social group demanding much thou

are live rabbits and other pets which
need food and care. Real tools
hammers and saws, together with
scraps of wood and plenty Of nails
tempt even timid ones to venture into
the realm of mechanics.
"Another striking feature is the
supply of low shelves and cupboards
where books, tools and the most
nsed material as we'll as individual be-
longings are conveniently kept. As a
result the children early develop a
sense of individual responsibility for
the care of materials.

JUDGE LINDSEY
MAKES ADDRESS
Discusses Parenthood OF State Be
fore National Educational
Association.
Associated Press

| bEo MOINDN, Ia; July o-f rom Il
different angle, but a no less import
ant one, than that Of natural pa rents,
is the "Parenthood of the State" to
the child, Judge Ben B. Lindsey said
tonight in an address before the nat
ional Education association here.
'This was first expressed in the
struggle for acknowledgement by the
State that it was its duty to educate
the child" Judge Lindsey added. "No
one today seriously questions this re
sponsibility. Since that acknowledge
ment, the State is becoming more and
more the over-parent O. the child"
The next phase of this struggle
concerns the responsibility Of the
State for the health and morals Of the
child, Since health and morals ere SO
nearly related, they may he 2onsid-
cred almost as one.
"The Parenthood of the State" IN
cludes its duty to see that the child
is we'll born. By strictest kind Of
marriage laws, the State must forbid
as far as possible, the bringing of
children into the world unless they
come from healthy parents. The child
must no longer be the victim Of con
ditions overwhich it has no control but
for which society and the State itself
is to blame. When the State is i'm
pefilled, it calls the child Of eighteen
to defend it with its life. When the
child is imperilIed, it has a right to
call on its ovcr-parent, the State, to
protect it with its wealth.
"The time will come when it will be
regarded as a crime against childhood
! if the State permits that child to suf-
| fer from undernourishmcnt due to
poverty or ignorance. Since it is the
accepted duty of the State to educate
the child, it is far more its duty to
! feed the child.
"The time to save many a boy ban
dit is in the nine months before and
the nine months after his birth. We
must have maternity laws. We must
have laws to see that the child does
not suffer for the lack Of proper nour-
ishment if the parents are unable to
perform that function, and if they are
able to perform it, to see to it that 1t
is performed.
"If this is "PatcrnalIsm" then all
of your free school system is Pater-
nalism, and if free schools are Pat
ernalism, then give US more of it. We
have the common experience in every
city of five children Of wealthy fam
ilv for whom the State has paid over
$25, 900 for their free education, and
the five children Of poor widow who
need to be fed even more than they
reed to be educated and for whom the
pxpense of education is wasted be-
cause of this neglected condition
which make them incapable of receiv-
ing its full advantages. Undernour-
ishe6 children are more dangerous to
the State than under-educated chill
dren.
at is not the purpose Of the "Par-
enthood of the State" to usurp the
function of the home or to permit the
natural parent to shirk, but rather to
see that the home performs its func-
ton where it is careless, and to see
that no child suffers because Of pow
erty where the home is helpless. The
State must perserve the home for the
child"
