GREAT RACE
TO APPEAR

Illinois will appear a greater race
of people than the world has ever
known, declared Theodore Roose-
welt. This will be due to the ANAL
gamation of the Teutonic and the
pioneer people who began the civ
ilization in the new country.
The above was the opening
thought of Miss Lutte e. Stearns
Of Milwaukee when she addressed
the members of the Kiwanis club
on Wednesday at the regular lunch
con at the Warren. Miss Stearns
came from the state of Maine, also
1.-THE former home of the late Johr
and Mary Luce of Fairfield and
others who came to this region
from the New England. state. She
gave a beautiful tribute to Mr.. and
Mrs. Luce and among other things
said their relations as husband
and wife were ideal. Miss Stearns
predicted that in time there would
be in this state the greatest race
of people on the earth and then
dwelt on the advance position that
Wisconsin now holds in the galaxy
of states. In Wisconsin there are
few bank failures, less speculation,
a great home loving instinct, few
er strikes, and no bread lines
Miss Stearns spoke of the thou
sands out of work in the east, Of
| the prolonged strikes and of the
bread lines.
Wisconsin is a state where there
is an opportunity for great body
building and Miss Stearns would
like to sec the child well born.
She holds there should be a ply
steal examination of both the man
and woman before a marriage Ii

Most girls want freedom free
dom in clothing, freedom in hair,
freedom in discipline, and freedom
in economics. They seem to desire
self expression. They want to let
themselves to go to the dance, the
automobile ride, the many diver
sions. The speaker said there
seemed to be no parental discipline.
Grandmother Shines Boys Shoes
Miss Stearns told an incident Of
where a small boy asked his
grandmother in the evening to
shine his shoes after he had gone
to bed. The speaker thought that
something else should have been
blackened besides his shoes. The
independence of the youth of today
gives her concern.
In every community there should
be a director of recreation. Miss
Stearns deplored the bunny hug,
dog walk mule walk and other
dances. In the east some of the
factories run but five days yet the
workers do not employ the extra
day to advantage-idle it way. In
every community there should be
an open forum where all may as
semble and discuss problems blow
off steam.
The greatest thing in state is
moral quality, and education should
lead to that end. To make Bara-
boo stand out every man and wom-
an should live a life of service.
The introduction
Miss Stearns was introduced by
her friend, Mrs. E. Aug. Runge.
Both are members of the board of
Normal school regents in this
state. Mrs Runge spoke of the
noble work the visitor has done
in the field of the library, educa-
ton, community building and the
like. She speaks from coast to
coast
