"A brief outline of the plan shows that it provides for classroom instructlon Tn morals each Monday; manners each Tues day; respect for property on Wednes- day; safety on Thursday, and thrift and patriotism on Friday. Other subjects taught the children are honesty, gentle ness, faith, self-control, industry, loyalty, honor, duty, humility, politeness and other attributes of integrity and char acter.
 WTNHE Character Education Institu-
 tion, aroused by the prevailing need of character instruction to youth, has done great deal to stimulate research in this field of character training. Moral instruction has been tried on large scale in France, and reports are that re- suits are gratifying. From the experi- ence already gained little doubt exists
New Britain herald., 1926-07-30

that methods can be successfully evolved to meet this obvious need of character building, which formerly was supplied In the cld-fashioned home.
 And right here would like to say word about the church schools America owes a peculiar debt to them. For time the brunt of battle for education and, to larger extent, for higher liv- ing was borne in America by the church colleges. Witness, for example, the fact that of some one hundred and sixteen colleges and universities in the Missis- sippi Valley, more than hundred of these were denominational in origin and control. Some of our State universities of the present day were denominational in their origin.
 "The contribution which these church educational institutions have made to American character and national in
New Britain herald., 1926-07-30

from the school for religious instruc- tion in the church of their choice, such as are in use in Gary, Ind; Toledo, O., and other places.
 "1n both these cities system has been worked out in which the school becomes the community center surrounded by churches of all denominations. The chil- dren step out of the school into the church. Some State universities are also planning an arrangement similar in nature.
 "In the public schools of Elgin, H., a regular course of character education has already been inaugurated. The an- nual' report of the superintendent ex- plains that its purpose is to assume phases of child training neglected in the home. Better manhood and better wom- anhood is the slogan of the new cur riculum.
New Britain herald., 1926-07-30

WTNHE old-fashioned home has been
 l. swept away in this avalanche. Children have lost in large degree the moral instruction formerly given by their parents at these family gatherings by the freside and around the dinner table. These opportunities for character building no longer exist. An American satirist recently insinuated that parents nowadays only teach their children to walk and talk, leaving the remaining task of rearing their offspring to the teachers of the public schools.
 q do not believe this to be true, but with the disappearance of the old-fash- toned home there Is no doubt that there has been a serious breakdown in char acter and integrity. The public schools must meet this issue. Moral and char acter education in the future must be- come a fundamental purpose in the scheme of the schools. It must become a part of the regular curriculum. The principles of virtue, honesty, loyalty to duty and obedience to law must be in- stilled in our modern children through the public schools if 1t is to be no longer done effectively in the home.
 "Sharp instruments are needed for surgical operations" Dr. Tigert con. tinued, "but it is far more vital that ths instruments be sterilized. Dull instru- ments that are clean are less dangerous than sharp instruments that are fopI The man who first learned that instru ments should be sharp made an imnor tant discovery. But the man who found that instruments should at the samo time be sterilized made far mora ;r, portant discovery. If I had to bs on erated upon, would prefer dull krie. that was clean to a sharp knife that was dirty. The former would do littla s ss no damage. The latter would carry tba nocuous germs 50 far into the bodv ~ to destroy life.
 WTHE same situation exists with u
 A gard to the education of the Ara~, can children of today. To enlighten th. minds means nothing without the nroner direction of morals, without instr,ct;o, in cleanliness in living and witbo,,t character. Society needs enliehtenment but it needs virtue also. An educated criminal is more dangerous than an ignorant one. Knowledge and character must go hand in hand, if we are to com bat the acute social changes through which this country is now passing"
 Dr. Tigert's solution of the problem i, not return to the iron discipline of the schoolroom of some generations ago, when reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic were taught to the tune of the hickory stick" Nor does he want the schoolroom to revert to the still older generations SC faithfully pictured by Charles Dickens ir David Copperfeld."
 "But the pendulum has swung too fal in the other direction" Dr. Tigert zoe. on. "As result of the social revolution that has swept the United States, chil dren have obtained 80 much freedom that
New Britain herald., 1926-07-30

it is confused in their minds with license
 Of course, any moral instruction in the school will require the re-enforce- ment of religious teaching and feeling. We have wisely separated the functions of church and state, but, in avoiding the Scylla of political interference with re- hgion, we have steered upon the Charyb- dis of state education without religion. In private, parochial and church schools religion can be given with secular teach ings, but cannot be given in publicly supported schools.
 Tt is doubtful, therefore, if religious instruction can actually be introduced in the public schools without interfer- ence with religious freedom. We can, however, find way to teach character effectively in them, and this seems to be the crying need of our present day and generation. In order to accomplish this purpose the Church should become a supplement to the school.
 "There are various plans now in effect whereby children are dismissed
