Des MONIES to Get Cars Back.

street railway company suspended operations
when its application for an increased fare was

officials that the property was being operated
at loss with the scent fare but the city ad-

Plenty of Coal.

Announcements have been sent out in va
rious parts of the country by large dealers that
there will be plenty OF coal to supply the de-
mands of the coming winter. That is good
news and even better will it be if the price
does not go to soaring But-it is poor time
il which to advance prices of this commodity
for just at present the government is keeping
close watch on the agencies that do this kind
of work and profit by it. As matter of fact
there is no present excuse for advancing prices
Nothing else is on the increase. The tendency
is downward. The biggest producers of the
country, the farmers, still suffering de-
clines- In many lines wages have been re-
duced. No advances in, the prices of fuel can
be justified by the present conditions. But
think back to that time during the war when
coal began to soar, and kept on soaring Think
Of the great strike that at that critical time
in the middle Of winter was engendered Re
call how the procuring of coal was made
monumental task and how even in this city it
became necessary to make a survey of the adj
iacent territory to locate mines from which
fael could be procured Then remember how
President Wilson issued proclamation de-
handing that the miners return to their work
and furnish the shivering millions with coal,
and how he denounced the walkoct as a con-
spiracy against the comfort and welfare Of the
American people. And that proclamation was
seconded largely by the people themselves, who
shortly would have been reduced to great
extremity.
But that is history. Since then there have
been in this industry, 80 -important&to all, no
great strikes 1ocszouts. The outcome is that
the country is facing winter with a pruspect

not care to have that branch of edu-
cation established in the schools.
Several months ago, when you
published a list of pamphlets deal
ing with sex hygiene, some OF
/ which were for boys, I sent FOR
them, sorted them over, and read
some Of them to him as occasion
arose. We had some serious talks
and he said he could tell now what
boys to avoid at school.

Some mothers have said to me
at don't like to spoil my boys in

ton their boys and find out how
innocent they are.
The scoutmasters are now
preaching clean lives, and son came
home the other day and said: why,
mother, he tells Us exactly the same
things you told me-"
I hope you will continue to deal
with this subject from time to time,
to keep it before parental eyes.

AnswerIt seems evident that
You approve, the teaching Of the
subject by the. scoutmaster. My idea
is that teachers in the public school
should be especially trained to in
struct the children concerning the
mystery of sex-which by rights
shoald not be kept the mystery
it is, in the childish mind. A prop
erly educated teacher of physical
training might handle the subject
we'll.
Your motto, never to tell your
boy a lie when he seeks informa-
ton from you is a fine one. Would
that more parents followed it,

from a published address OF one
Charles e. Barker, H. D. and P. G,

Doctor of Hygiene and Doctor OF

fthe lecturer didn't want his boy

school instructors And taking up

ated that 1 want my children taught

school, for / felt that a teacher
who could be trusted TO teach my
children history, geography and
physics should be morally ut to
teach them the truth about physi-
elogy and hygiene.
OF course, no teacher is co1npe-
tent to instruct children in sex
hygiene until he or she has quail
fed for that special chair by a
course of special study. When the
average teacher of the three RS
or other subjects assumes that he
or she is capable of handling sex
hygiene instruction as a mere side
line or minor subject, as too many
teachers attempt to handle physical
training, then i am with DR.. Barker

plause with which the members OF
the Rotary organization in another
city greeted DR.. Bankers fervent
declaration that he did not believe
in the teaching of sex hygiene TO
children in the public school under
high school age, indicated that his
hearers construed his meaning as

Raise My Boy" They were evil

Jonathan Bede leaned heavily up
on his hoe and surveyed the wreck

of several long rows of potato

He shook his clenched fists at
them for a few moments, and then,
dropping his hoe, he strobe across
the street, swung wide the neat
white gate, which protested witt,
an audible squeak at such rough
handling, and, stamping up the
steps, gave a long and violent ring
at the doorbell. The door was open
ed by a buxom lady, clad in a long
gingham apron and dust cap. Broom
in hand, she smiled cordially at her
caller and gazed at him over her
glasses, which hung so far aslant
that they seemed on the point of
falling from her nose.
