CHILDREN'S WEEK
 AT THE INSTITUTE
Books for Boys and Girls Form
 Interesting Display

Chi'dren's Book Week is being ob- served throughout the nation all this week, and in connection with this the children's department Of the New Britain institute, under the di. rection of Miss Helen Wainwright has arranged an excellent display Of books for children from infancy 10 high school age.
 The public is invited to visit the library this week, and especially the ehildrens departments, 10 inspect the books and find out the work being carried on for the education of the children who patronize the department.
 Beginning with the nursery rhymes and going through tho stages Of life there are books arranged for all children. Even children of for eign parents who have not yet mas tered the intricacies of the English language or whose parents wish them to learn their mother tongue simultaneously with English have the opportunity of getting books at the library written In their native languages.
 Several tables have been arranged showing the new books which have been placed in the children's de- partment at the library. On the right as the visitor enters are ar ranged the books for the little tots who have recently learned their A. B. C's. These include picture books and nursery rhymes, simple tales of wonderment and scrapbooks arranged by the library staff with pictures telling each a story of it's own.
 r A trip around the room will bring the visitor to the display of foreign tongue books. These are written in German. Swedish, Bohemian and | Trench and contain the tales told in childhood. On tables near the cen. ter of the room are the higher graded books, including the life of General rGant," historical and ic- ttion sketches aimed to be interest ing to adoIescent minds These are all new books On another table are arranged old books published in new editions, friends of childhood in a different form.
 A visit to the department and a perusal of the books brings one back to childhood days, when all the glowing tales of great men read before the romantic age sets in Set halo about the heroes of the na- ton and brought vividly 10 the mind in an entertaining form the history of the country.
 All this has been prepared in recognition of Childron's Book Week and a more complete and in, tcresting visit for those who are interested in the furtherance ot their children in good reading could not be found at another time except by inquiry.
 Miss Wainwright. who is ir charge Of the department, has pub. lished a list of new books which have been put in the department especially for childrcn's week. Visi. tors may visit the departmen. from 9 a. m. to ?. m, The list ot books is as follows:

RESPONSIBLE.

Now comes a campaign for ma
tionwide movie censorship to. be APP
piled at the source. 1t is urged that
all movies, before they can be re-
leased, must be passed on by fed
eral board which will decide what we
may and may not see.
1t is held, not without reason, that
many of the films now being shown
have harmful effect on young
minds-not because there is anything
so very wrong about them, but be-
cause they give distorted values
clarifying crime and emphasizing the
sex element unduly.
But it is right to ask the national
government to take a hand? Doesn't
the real responsibility lie with the
parents?
Any father or mother who is really
careful will see to it that an imma-
ture child goes only to such movies
as will not harm. him. 1t is going too
far to expect the government to dc
what the individual parents ought to
do

TRAFFIC ENGINEERING.

"In every community in the United States, .
says the American Engineering Council, "the
traffic problem is acute in some form. The
country is just beginning to realize that the
problem is essentially an engineering problem. {"
SO the engineers are going to get busy on it.
Thirty national and local societies connected
with the central council are going to study the
whole situation and try to work out solution.
1t is a little late to tackle the problem Gre
ated by the motor car but their aid is welcome.
The police, as the engineers remark, have
.reachedstheir limit Of accomplishment" It is
only in part a policeman's job, Fundamentally
it is an engineering job. Traffic must be prop
Eerly routed before it can be poperly policed.
Thoroughfares and their connections have
to be provided. In many cases it means such
a changing and widening of traffic lanes as
will involve almost the rebuilding of cities.
The changes, needless to say, will be expens-
i've. But when they are once made, COM
munities can start growing freely again, as
the traffic which is their life-blood moves
through their arteries and veins without OBJ
Istruction, and all the eommunity's organic
functions resume their natural action.

TODAY AND EVERY DAY.

In the program announced for the observ-
ance of National Education Week during the
present week. today is designated IS that day
in the week when there is to be general atten-
ton to education along the lines of patriotism.
National education officials suggest that the
day be utilized to recall the ideals which have
builded into this nation through years of en-
deavor and sacrifices, to recall what the flag
means to every one who lives beneath it's pro-
tecting folds and as a special evidence of this
to teach the rules and regulations for display
ing the Stars and Stripes SO as to continue
to inspire patriotism among all who see it.
1t is good idea to set aside day for this
purpose but. there should be "a more general
attitude on the part of the people of this land
to keep these things in mind on every day.
Some way or other the impression has arisen
that patriotism is Unborn but such is not al
ways the case. This fallacy has gwen rise to
the general opinion that the native born are
not in need of being taught to love and honor
their country and all the ideals for which it
stands, but that instruction in patriotism is
chiefly for those who have come to this land
from overseas and have adopted this as their
country. vsrsars4 eEs~.v ~r.~
This is not entirely the easeess There are
some PERSONS who. though born overseas, have
developed real. patriotism for their, adopted
land almost as quickly as the ink has dried
on their naturalization papers. These people
often apply themselves so zealously to the task
of learning what the ideals of this country are
and what Old Glory means that they soon sur
pass some of the more sluggish native born
in the real patriotism Therefore, it is for all
of us today to give thought to this question,
and today and every day strive to- have deep
seated in our hearts, a real patriotism for this
land of ours. sa} ~zA

MAKING THEIR BURDEN LIGHTER.

Kenoshans are being asked to contribute to
the fund which is raised yearly by the Badger
State Advancement Association of the Blind
for the support Of 1.-THE trade school for the
blind operated by that association. Atten-
ton to the campaign was fttingly called by the
Right Reverend Archbishop Sebastian G..
Messmer of Milwaukee, in directing that all
churches under his control take a collection
for this fund on next Sunday.
It is worthy cause and one which deserves
the support of all. In the olden days the only
refuge for the blind was either to be entirely
dependent on others or to become beggar.
One of the great problems in dealing with the
blind is To provide something for them TODD
so that their hours of darkness may not seem
an eternity It is not enough to provide them
with food and shelter; besides this they must
be given some employment which will help
them to spend their lightless lives and get
some enjoyment out of them.
The Badger State Advancement association
and other organizations of this kind are trying
to do that. thing Besides its home for the
blind, it maintains "a trade schools where use
full trades are. taught training the blind to
become ablesto support themselves and there
by giving them a. real interest in life.
Wisconsin numbers over $500 adult blind
residents Of these more than half sustained
their affliction after their twentieth birthday.
Over 200 persons have been taught trades in
the blind school and the institution strives to
help others in learning gainful occupations.
Among the trades taught are carpentry, box
making, massage, piano tuning, typewriting,
making of baby carriages, cane chairs. rug and
basket weaving and certain required opera
tions in the making of shoes The blind are
proving themselves to be steady and efficient
IL
ployers and the continued interest of all who
help them to help themselves.
This is the period of the year when we are
urged to practice the spirit of thankfulness.
The campaign for the blind gives an oppor-
tunity to put this spirit Of thankfulness into
USE We who enjoy our sight, should be
thankful enough for it to contribute somewhat
of our money to give these Jsightless ones some
reason to be thankful

Views of Others
Successful Failures.

The world has usually been slow to
appreciate the worth of its geniuses
and outstanding leaders. New ideas
have always had to fight for their
lives. History is full of the stories
of successful failures. ~
Cervantes, the greatest of all Span
ish novelists, died in poverty, neg
lected and ignored. His grave isrun-
marked and the place of his birth is
unknown. Although gallant soldier
of the king his loyalty went unre-
warded except for the honorable Scars
he carried to his grave. 1t is doubt
full whether a hundred people in Spain
in 1916 believed that genius had
died, yet his book, Don Quixote, has
gone throughi more than 800 editions
and has been translated into more
languages than any other piece of lit
erature in the world except the Bible
and Pilgrims Progress.
Lincoln's Gettysburg address, which
now adorns the walls of offices, ;upE-
versities, libraries and homes, did not
receive editorial mention in single
newspaper in the nation at the time
of it's delivery, except in terms of
ridicule and derision. The files of the
papers during the days of the Civil
war show Mr.. Lincoln to. have been a
man in high disfavor with enemies
and supporters alike. 9a+
John Fitch, the man who first OPP
Grated a steamboat, exhibiting his in
vention before the members of the
Constitutional convention in Phila-
delphia in 1887, was considered crank
and visionary. George Washington
thought so little of the steamboat ex-
hibition that she accepted dinner in
vitation for the same hour and did not
attend, although the convention adj
journed for the purpose of being pres
ent. -
Charles Goodyear failed for eleven
years in his search for some means of
vulcanizing rubber and finally died in
poverty and was carried to his grave
in obscurity. Now the world rides on
air as a result of his labors. .rs
