damages of two Americans sustained
during the revolutionary period havo

of bandits in the vicinity of Ameca,
in the state of Jalisco, and deprived
not only of his liberty but a con,
siderable sum Of money. The other

with startling results: no more tor
mented cats or dogs with tin cans. or
old folks peltedt with rotten eggs and
disrespect. That day has passed.
Few homeless and tormented ami
mails are to be found now. The old
and blind are solicitously helped over
the streets BY children. Many un.
kempt urchins of O few years ago
now are tidy and decorous. The
explanation Of this Transformation
il given by some persons In two
words--humane education.
It began In school thirty eight In
one, Of the dirtiest and most contest.
ed parts Of the city, where the prin-
cipa1, with what approached clair.
voyance, foresaw the results. A
humane society was started within
the school and the children taught
to regard the rights of household
pets. They were told that one
essence Of good citizenship was q
matter Of ones reactions to ones
contacts, and sense of response
bility was fostered. The children
were encouraged to bring lost and
unwanted animals to the school from
where they were gathered daily and
taken to animal shelters.
| AS soon as this started an I'M
mediate psychological change was
noted. Many lost dogs and cats were
adopted by the children. Il-treat-
| ing an animal was sufficient to cause
T. its decline. There grew in the chill
dren a spirit of civic pride, chivalry
and the desire to appear at their best.
It's morale went UP by leaps and
bounds.
Parents came to the school to tell
of their child. en- once so thoughtless
and selfish, but now anxious to
smarter their appearance, assist with
| the petty details of the household
and listen to their grand parents.
"Since I let Willie keep that lost
dog he's been a changed boy"
The same song In various keys
was the daily dozen. Willies and
Tommies and Katies had acquired
sense of responsibility, protection
and pride. They were unconsciously
becoming better citizens.
The work has spread. and humane
education has been projected into the
curriculum of almost every public
, school in New York City.
