TEN LITTLE FINGERS and ten
little toes may be a mothers rosary,
as a popular song writer once said,
but they become the bane of mo-
TIERS existence when they get some
what bigger. The pink little digits
of the year old baby become the
grimey hands of the ten year old
boy. No parent, however blinded by
loving prejudice, can claim that
cleanliness is exactly an overpower-
ing obsession with children. It takes
home training, in large doses, to de-
velop in them sanitary sense"
This is one of the fundamental du-
ties of the home for the sake of the
child's health and future welfare,
and its importance cannot be over
estimated.
The Importance of leading reluc-
tant children to water is constantly
by the statements of bac-
and doctors. Hands, they
tell us, are primary factors in the
spread of disease, and disease pre-
ventiOn consists partly, at least, in
keeping the hands clean and in see
ing that they do not travel unnec-
essarily to the mouth, nose, and
eyes. Sanitary habits are difficult to
inculcate because the eye, unfortu-
nately, is not an accurate judge of
the sanitary character of an object
or surface.
"The child must be taught to be
clean," says Doctor Jean Broad
hurst, Professor of Bacteriology at
Columbia University. Probably the
best way to teach cleanliness habits
to children is to put the matter on
an aesthetic basis. That is not the
only reason, but it ought to be suffi-
cient in any civilized society. A
second way of presenting this hy-
giene phase to children is by ex-
making sure that example
speaks as implicitly as precept. Why :
insist that children must wash their
hands before coming to the table if
you get up from the table to lift the
log into the easy-chair, or change
he child's soiled underclothes, and
'eturn to the table without washing 4

AT THE PRESENT TIME the As
state governments have a gross
bonded indebtedness of $1,971,S54 ,167,
an increase of more than 125 million
dollars in year. This exceeds by
So millions the total public debt of
the United States just prior to the
war.
The Indebtedness averages 1851
for every man, woman and child in
the country, an increase of 85 cents
as compared with a year ago.
Five states in the Union have
bonded debts in excess of $10O,OOO,-
900, and, since 1920, the outstanding
debts of 25 of the states have meas
urably increased.
These statistics show graphically
the trend in state expenditures.
They show, as well, adequate reason
for the present high taxes that bur-
den most communities.
Today state governments assume
responsibilities, make expenditures
and embark in new fields of endea-
vor on a scale unknown 10 years
ago. The result is steadily mount
ing tax rates, discouraging to indus
trial development and damaging to
prosperity.
The extravaganza of local units of
government is an outstanding prob
lem of the times. If reforms are not
Instituted, it must inevitably result
in many communities being buried
under a mass of debts and taxes 1
from which it will take years to re- 1
cover.

IF A business is going to advance,
the heads and managers of that bus
mess find it necessary to keep study
ing the conditions in that line of
trade. They are constantly improv-
ing their methods, to conform to the
best modern practice.
If we want our communities to
advance, they are under the same
necessity. They have to keep study
ing the most modern ideas Of mu-
nicipal and business development.
And as the voters and citizens are
the managers of their own civic af-
fairs, It is not enough for a few mu-
nicipal officials or leading people to
study such progressive ideas, but
