CHARACTER BUILDING IS

De outraged, c. L. Moran, of this
city, states in his answer to the
QUESTIONABLE of DR.. NJ. NJ. Parks
state school superintendent. asking
his views of the educational prob
lem. '''' p ~
Mr. Moran believes that character
building is the greatest need Of the
DAY and that, in their eagnerness to
master the higher branches, moral
education is being overlooked by
both parents and teachers.
Mr.. MOran's answer follows:
In my opinion, character building
IS the greatest need today. Moral
education is being neglected by both
parents and teachers. In our eager
ness to master the higher branches,
this all important lesson is being
overlooked.
"The child should be taught, and
have the idea indellibIy impressed
on his mind, that the law of this
country is sacred thing and must
not be outraged, and that moral OBJ
legations and moral duties can not
be thrust aside with impunity.
ITO my mind the Indifference
along this line on the part of those
in charge of our educational system
is largely responsible for outrages
almost daily committed by mobs
throughout the state"

FORGER CAUGHT

J. NJ. Larson, who issued a number
of worthless checks in New Richmond
recently, was caught in the northern
part of the state and convicted of
forgery by Dist. Atty. w. R. Kirk.
Larson, who had several assumed
names, claimed innocence when ap-
pretended and stated that the checks
which he had cashed were for salary
due him. Some of the checks were
upon a Milwaukee bank and upon
making inquiry in that city the dist
riot attorney learned that Larson was
wanted there for the passage of
about fifteen worthless checks.
He made out his checks for small
amounts. They were apparently
entirely regular, some firm name be-
ing printed in the upper corner and
the banks name in the lower corner.
He filled in the amounts with pro-
tectograph and apparently wrote the
signature himself, which however
bore strong resemblance to that of
his endorsement. Larson travelled by
auto, had liberal supply of blank
checks with him, for a rainy day and
was accompanied by young lady
who claimed to be his wife.

Obituary
MISS JOSEPHINE NYE

1t is with exceeding regret that we
record the passing of Miss Josephine
Nye, late of 622 West 135th Street,
New York City, who died May 29th
at the Fifth Avenue Hospital. Miss
Nye was known widely through her
social service and educational activ-
tiles.
Miss Nye was a native of Wiscon-
sin and received her education at the
River Falls Normal School. For
several years she was on the teach
ing force of the Minneapolis schools,
then removed to Florida in the hope
Of benefiting her health, coming
north again some four years latter,
to New York, where she had since
resided.
Her activities were many, for her
sympathies were ll-embrac:ag and
she was never happier than when
giving of her time and strength and
above all, of her radiance, to those
who needed help of any kind. For
that was the greatest of her many
gifts-the power to bring joy to those
about her. Witty and gay and SYM
pathetic and tender-she was a
rarely gifted woman and those who
have known her will sorrow greatly
for their loss but give thanks that
they have had the friendship of this
courageous and winsome soul.
