tablets is not compulsory, but little
objection is anticipated from the
children.
Perhaps the plan is a praise
worthy public health measure. But
peddling pills is not normally con-
sidered a proper function of a
school teacher.
Iodine is not a harmless confec-
ton. 1t is a useful drug but even
in moderate quantities a deadly
poison. Though it may keep jul
venile thyroid glands up on their
toes and in Astounding health there
is no particular reason why it
should be included in the school
curriculum.
Some enthusiasts think that the
schools should have charge of
everything pertaining to children.
None has gone quite so far as to
propose that the schools should
bear the children but doubtless
that will come if the technical diff
dictulties can be overcome.
To such, no doubt, it is a mark
of progress when the pupils in
stead Of singing America" line
up, stick out their tongues, and
swallow iodine tablets in unison
for their morning exercises. Why
not at the same time give each
youngster gulp Of castor oil, and
apply freckle lotions? If it is
proper for teachers to dose chill
dren to prevent goiter why not for
all the other ills flesh is heir to
from myopia to fallen arches?
The health Of school children is
vastly important. But the pur-
pose Of the public school is train
ing the minds of the pupils, teach
ing reading, writing, arithmetic
and allied subjects. Teachers are
hired for that purpose not to prac-
tice medicine. They should be ex-
pected to give their pupils doses of
neutrality-suspicious. and qualified
physicians can attend to medicinal
dosing.

SEARCH AND
SEIZURE

~HE Indiana Supreme Court
Wednesday ruled that no
officer can lawfully search
an automobile on mere suspicion
that it carries intoxicating liquor.
IAN officer who has not. learned
through sight, hearing, smell, or
from other reliable sources, facts
that would justify a belief that
felony is being, or has been, COM
mitted, can not lawfully search
car on mere suspicion, or as a part
of a plan to search all passing au-
tomobiles to discover violators Of
the law" reads the opinion.
The same day a special Judge in
Marion County Criminal Court held
that a search warrant issued by a
justice of the peace was not valid
outside of his own township.
These two decisions ought to
cool the fevered brows Of over
Jealous officers prone to tramp
through private homes, paw over
private belongings and stop auto
mobiles on the highway at their
own sweet will. The courts are
not much impressed with the ne
cessity for such offensive activity.
However, enforcement of prohi-
bition has not yet entirely re-
gained its sanity in Indiana courts.
A Kokomo judge rules that infor-
nation or communications from
anonymous sources are sufficient
basis for issuance of search war
rants. That encourages vindictive
nefghbors to do their stuff with
impunity.
No sane man pays attention to
anonymous communications; he
consigns them to the waste bas-
ket. To the layman. IMMERSED in
law, they seem pretty poor excuses
for search warrants.
But, withal. Indiana courts are
taking the attitude that prohibit
ton enforcement must be conduct
ed with customary legal proprie-
ties. Some officers may feel ham
dicapped as a result-their style
may be cramped. Nevertheless.
real prohibition enforcement won't
suffer, but will gain in dignity.
Any law that is worth its salt can
be enforced lawfully.

Perhaps the Thirty-Fourth st.
tract is too small. It certainly
doesn't sprawl over all outdoors
like the Arsenal Tech grounds.
Still there is sufficient room for
the taxpayer to spend all the
money he wants to and for a build

students-which is about as large

How much more land is needed?

& Thompson shed some light on the problem
when he announced his move was designed to
correct a rotten condition existing at present.
This rotten condition, William E. Clauer,
Democratic city chairman, elucidates is the
quaint custom Of stealing elections, of manipu-
lating the ballots so that certain candidate
wins.
Certainly Councilman King has no desire
to encourage practices of that nature. There
is certainly opportunity and there should be

HE old question of whether
men or women are more in
IL telligent is giving way to the
question of whether men or women
are more emotional.
The development Of laboratory
methods of measuring intelligence,
enabled the psychologists to demon
strate that in general there is no
difference between men, taken as a
class, and women as a class.
The idea that women were moro
emotional than men has persisted.
And now psychologists are turning
their attention to this subject.
DIR. Donald A. Laird and DIR.
Thomas McClumpha of the Psyche
logical Laboratory Of Colgate Uni
versity, have undertaken a study of
the alleged differences Of emotion be-
tween sexes.
These two investigators conducted
tests with 600 college men and 400
college women.
These tests revealed greater emo
tional instability among the women
than among the men.
But despite the results Of the tests,
these two investigators are unwilling
to believe the matter as settled and
come forward themselves with valid
objections to any general opinion
based on their own tests.
RI IRST Of all, they call attention
r to the fact that their tests
III dealt entirely with college
people and they raise the question

IS MORE EMOTIONAL SEX

whether it might not be a feet that
the women who are most likely to
go to college are the ones who are
the most emotional, or to use the in
vestigators' language, possess the
greatest emotional instability.
This is a fact that can be settled
only by comparative tests between
college and non-college women.
A second question raised by the
investigators is whether an emotion
al difference between men and
women may not be entirely the re-
suit of training and in no way an
inherent difference. They call at
tention to the fact that almost from
birth, the training Of a girl differs
from that given a boy.
ARD and McClumpha have
also set about investigating
IL insane asylum figures as a
means of comparing emotional in
stability which is so extreme as to
result in insanity.
They find that in general the ratio
of asylum inmates in comparison to
population, is higher for men than
women.
However, when allowance is made
for men whose insanity can be
traced directly to physical forces
such as accident, shock or social dis
eases, the ratio becomes slightly
higher for women.
This would tend to support the re-
suits Of the tests with college
students.

Reports from the Pastor, the Pas

the work of this Church at the close
of the Conference year to be in a
most prosperous condition.

street, just off the main business
street was designated for the work.
The state officer, according to the
local police, changed his plans and
went to the corner of Front and
Walnut streets, South Milford, which
is Milford's busiest corner where he
commenced making arrests. A traf-
fic jam resulted and business practi-
cally ceased throughout the entire
business section. With this situation
confronting them the merchants
held an indignation meeting and ask
ed Mayor Reedy to act. Several per-
sons had been caught in the raid by
the State Police and had been order
ed to appear before Justice of the
Peace E. V. HendrixsOn at 9 o'clock.
Mayor Reedy and Councilman J. L.
Davis appeared before the nagis-
trate and requested that the charges
be ignored. This was done and a
very nasty situation smoothed out.
There seems to be misunder-
standing on the part of the state Of
ficials as to the attitude of the Mil
ford citizens regarding Saturday
nights affair. The attitude of the 10
cal business men as gathered this
week in talks with them is that they
are heartily in accord with the State
Police in their efforts to enforce the
automobile laws and all other stat
utes. They think it right and proper
that the offenders should be made to
live up to the laws; but they feel
that the State Police were inficting
a real hardship on the innocent bus
iness interests through their actions
in working in the business section
of the town on Saturday night. It |
was this situation that they wanted !
remedied quickly. At Dover State
Police stationed men outside the |
town limits and several arrests were |
made. Had this method of procedure |
been followed at Milford much fric-
tion and unpleasantness would have
been eliminated.
