NEW YORK. Sept-Human ma
ture will find a way to overcome
any difficulty. 7 am sure. after dis
covering how some pet-loying but
labor-saving Manhattanites manage
their affairs. It is nice to have
cat or dog around TO welcome you.
particularly IL you live all alone
but isn't always easy for busy
or disappointment dweller to take
one Of them out for exercise. At
least, I always used to think it
wasn't But down in Washington
Square lives man who has solved
the problem. About O'Clock every
afternoon. he comes to his window
with a large white cat, fumbles
about g. bit and then lets the crea-
ture down by long rope attached
to a sort of harness fitted about the
cats body. The rope is long enoug 9Th
to let the cat run about the court
as much as 1T likes. After half an
hour or so, the man pulls his pet
safely up again.
1T Is a sad mmentary on our !
educational system that the Consti-
tuition of the United States has he
come better known to the people
through its last three amendments
than because of it's general value |
says LLOYD Taylor. chairman of the |
Committee on Constitutional In
struction of the National Security |
League. Tt Is necessary to know /
the rules OF any game before you I
can play it. How can the people of I
this country play the game OF con-
stitutional government unless they
know the rules set forth in the
CONSTITUTION? Ny COMMITTEES is
seeking TO make all OF the Con sti-
tuition as well known as the last
three amendments. We find the
teaching of it has been so neglect
ed that the only way to solve the
problem is to make proper Consti-
tutiona1 instruction a requirement
of law. Illinois, Iowa. Michigan.
Vermont and Rhode Island have led
the way In putting such laws on
their statute kpokx We EXPECT
other states to follow. although
there may be a. certain amount of
Opposition from Those educators
who object to man datory require
ments. Our bill has the support of
the Americanism Commission of the
American Legion: and such leaders
in education as the Federal Com
missioner Of Education are on our
committee. We will continue our
fight until every child acquires
knowledge of it's equality in rights
as an American"
It's bad enough to be behind bars:
but it's worse TO have to listen to !
