The opinion is spreading that

The Chucks Decide on a
Place for a Home.
Blest is he who has a friend,
True and loyal to the end.

Johnny Chuck and Polly Chuck had
turned up the Long Lane which leads
up to Farmer Browns barnyard, and,
as usual. Polly Chuck was in the lead.
Though Farmer Browns Boy didn't
know il, they had been in the Long
Lane once before. Farmer Browns
Boy was following them, but by the
time he turned up the Long Lane they
had disappeared. He knew that they
were somewhere in the bushes grow
ing along the fence on either side. but
he didn't stop to look for them. You
see. he knew that they probably were
looking around for place 10 make a

The Story of Life.

Chicago public high schools threaten
to teach pupils about human life ana
the threat has has aroused consider
ahle discussion, with the majority OF
educators who know anything about
life apparently not enthusiastic ABOUT
the departure. There are precious lew
high school teachers who are compe-
tent to handle this subject. Maybe
Chicago will train a corps of hiolo-
sists especially for the work. IL de-
nands such training. Life-human
life--is not taught in ordinary tram
ing schools or colleges for teachers.
It isn't done that's all.
In the course OF our preparathiiu,l.
FOR war the United states pubic
health service began to issue free
pamphlets regarding human life, re,
production, the hygiene or sex anu
the diseases which result from wrong
sex living. These pamphlets are
still obtainable through your own
state board OF health or the CnlIea
States Public Health Service. 10 .tn
street southwest. Washington, u. Z.
The pamphlets are llSted lot THESE
particular classes:
Pamphlet A-For young men.
Pamphlet B-For the general pup
lie.
Pamphlet C-For boys.
Pamphlet D--For parents.
Pamphlet E-For girls and young
women.
Pamphlet F-For educators.
In writing for these pamphlets be
sure to specify which one you want.
Do not write to me about them. Inc
one for educators at least helps teach
ers to realize how little they know
abount teaching sex hygiene or any
thing appertainirg to sex life unless
they have been trained for this spe-
cialty.
Health Service is going into the
subject further, trying to help pa
rents with the formidable problem
of instructing children about life. A
special pamphlet has been issued, en-.
titled 1.-THE Wonderful Story OF l.lfe:
IT is along the lines of a mothers
talks with her daughter regarding
life and it's reproduction.
