RESPONSIBILITY TO
CHILDREN TOPIC At
W. C. I. U. SESSION

Our Responsibility to Children"
was the topic of Miss Mabel Conner,
speaking Friday afternoon before the
Augusta w. c. T. U. at its regular
meeting held at the Y. NJ. C. A.
building. She pointed out that upon
the people of today devolve several
responsibilities which they may not
shirk and which have a great bear
ing upon the future of the children.
The first responsibility is that the
children be brought up in a wariess
world. She declared that there is no
matter under dispute that could not
be settled without recourse to war.
In this regard she deplored the
growing tendency toward military
training in the schools, expressing
her belief that training for physical
benefit is to be approved but that
mlntary training puts too mucn
stress upon war. She stated that she
was not preaching pacifism in time
OF war but pae;fism in time of peace.
Another responsibility is that they
be well born, that their condition in
life shall not be such that they must
slave under poor industrial condi-
tons. She deplored the opposition to
the Shepherd Towner bill, saying
that the objection to that is that II
would put child labor under govern
ment control
She declared that children have a
right to be born with good health
and pointed out the great number
OF children who are born blind and
with 0ther defects which are attri-
buted to prenatal, influences. They
must have good education, good
church influences and many laws of
the State should be changed to make
their condition better. She referred
IN this case particularly to the con-
dltlons under which children under
the age of 16 years are allowed 10
work and the Act that boys of IA
and girls of II may marry. Finally
she stressed the fact that they
should be brought up in world that
is as dry as it is possible to make 1t,
and declared that the work of the
w. c. T. L. in this regard is not yet
DONE
In closing she stated that some
one has said that the dance halls of
Augusta should be supervised, that
the curfew law should be enforced
and that legitimate pleasures should
be provided for the youngsters. She
expressed herself as having complete
confidence in the children of this age,
although they are living under more
complex conditions than ever before
A piano solo by Miss Cecile Gron-
Din was greatly enjoyed. Miss Caro-
lyn f. Chase, the president, was In
charge of the meeting.

able addition on the rear of the Au-

came known on Friday. Bids for the

CONY "CUE" EDITORIAL
STAFF TO Be HEADED
BY WILLIAM WEEKS

William Weeks, Cony '27, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel B. Weeks of
Bangor street, was elected editor in
chief of the Cony Cue for the coming
year at meeting of the Student
Council, Friday. He will be assisted
by the following Cue staff: Assistant

athletic editors. Charles Thorne, Fer
maid Bagley; copying editors, Bertha
Dudley, Helen Norcross; business

Because of the many duties which
fall to her as Dean of Girls, and head

advisor of the Cue for several years
has felt that she could not possibly
assume the burden this year. Ac-
cordingly Miss Dorothy Mossler. the

was named to that post. The Student
Council voted to issue the Cue but
three times this year, instead of four
as has been customary and the Cue
staff will make each issue bigger and
better than ever before A cam
palgn for subscriptions will be held
early in October.
