make an impression upon that child's
mind"
Judge Tailey said that he did not
mind being rated as old.fashionnd.
I'VE have tried many schemes
to keep youth safe and wholesome
and fine, md in my opinion there
is only Cne remedy left, and that
Is to teach religion and ethics to a
child in its formative years in school.
would include religion in the
curriculum to come up in regular
school hours.
Everything else has been tried.
and everything has failed. I would
teach the children the faith of their
fathers, no matter what their sect
is. Religion would teach them that
and decent. and 1t would teach them
that the beginning of wisdom Is
the fear of God in their hearts.
] Mental Cowardice.
I'VE have adopted mentally
cowardly attitude which Is destruc-
tive to a great people. We do not
teach religion in the school because
Of the fear that one sect might get
little precedence over the other.
We have adopted the line Of least
resistance and abolished religion
from schoolrooms entirely, and I
think that we are now beginning to
reap the whirlwind.
When children grow to maturity,
and understand why they were re-
strained, the respect for parents in
creases with the years"
The Girl Phase.
Judge Talley holds no better brief
for the girls than for the boys, for
he said:
Whenever a boy of seventeen
or so is brought to court there is
invariably out in the corridor, in the
shadow Of the courtroom, a girl the
same age, waiting around to show
her loyalty to the young offender.
All these young fellows have girls
who beleieve the same as they do.
What is In New York is typical Of
large cities throughout the coun.
try"
Old Times Better.
The judge insisted that the old
generation was never like the pres
ent, although every crop of youth
has its own growing pains. There
Is a wave of disorder over the whole
world, and our youth have caught
IL up more than others. The older
generation was young. too. and in
its youth had spirit, but II did not
see the necessity of overthrowing
everything and stamping around
wild with rebellion.
1--WE must adopt home life again
as It was known a generation ago
and which has disappeared. A child
should have a home where II can
bring its little friends. Children
should learn to Ste at home, and
fathers and mothers must learn to
stay at home. The wild and sense
less chase in which we are all en-
gagged, hunting after amusements,
leads to nothing. 1t is too trite to
repeat that it never brings happiness
and never will"
Pities Them.
What this present. turbulent gen.
Grafton hates most is to be pitied,
but pity Is the parting shot by
Judge Talley:
THE only res son people think
as I do and press themselves az
! do. Is because / have a great
solicitude and love of youth. Young
people have infinite possibilities for
| good and their minds are precious
things. To me the neglect of their
physical needs is far less important
than the neglect of those things
which will make them good men and
good women who depend for their
happiness on the decency and mo.
rality Of their lives.
"There is nothing more waste.
full than a lot Of undisciplined men
and women, without stability or
character. They can't get any.
where that way!'
