SCHOOLS AND CRIME

The American public school system-prde OF the ma

Justice Levy explains 1t thus: Fully 1000 900 children
In our public schools, tenth Of the total enrolment
are below normal mentally. Given cpecial attention,
nearly all Of these could be developed into useful citizens
But since the ordinary school makes little provision for
them. they fall behind In their classwork are dubbed
dummy" by their school fellows and rapidly develop
ansocial attitudes that later lead many OF them into
criminal pursuits.
The remedy. he 1t. Is the establishment OF UNI
graded schools in which such children could be educated
without being made to feel inferior The cost he ad

crime bill would more than counterbalancc It,
His suggestion is worth earnest consideration The
National Education Association might we'll give 1t some

BIRTH OF JEFFERSON

BIRTH OF JEFFERSON
Today is the anniversary of the
birth Of Thomas jefferson in Abe
marie county, Virginia. In 1743. No
man contributed more to the early
American republic than this lawyer
farmer, whose insight into the future
made him outstanding among all his
brilliant contemporaries.
Jcfferson's part in the struggle for
independence dates from the first
moment Of colonial unrest. His first
political writing, "A Summary View
Of the Rights of British America"
was written to urge the first general
meeting Of representatives Of all the
colonies. He wrote, at least in part.
many Of the state documents OF the
early republic. In debate he was
handicapped by poor voice and the
fact that he hated personal contcst,
but his written language was unsur-
passed N its time for clarity and
force.
Jefferson's physical measurements
were as large as his intellectual. He
was six feet two inches tall and
strongly built. His plain dress was IN
sharp contrast to the formal attire o.
most OF his contemporaries. His per-
sonality was unusually winning and,
history says, he addressed his slaves
as kindly as his fellow statesmen.

Talks 1o&&&
e Parents
THAT'S LOVE"
BY ALICE JUDSON PEALE

Two young ladies in their early
teens were talking to each other.
How do you know when you are
really and truly in love?" asked one.
"Oh. that's easy" said the other.
when anybody gives you a tingly
feeling all over, that's love-"
This is perhaps q fair example OF
the much talked of sophistication of
the younger generation. They don't
know what It's all about, and from
each other they gather such pearls
of wisdom and helpfulness as the
above.
OF course these young people want
to know what love is. And Of course
they can learn only by falling in and
out Of love few times. But even
the girl who is blessed with a variety
of experience may never find out
what she needs to know unless she is
helped to know her own nature, and
to understand her own experience.
The girl who is not allowed to live
through and accept her experience as
a part of life may remain always con-
fused. She mistakes the erotic aspect
AOA VAAO WAAOAO Va AVtC 6tlIN R1u1lAC0
headlong into an unsuitable marriage
Or, brought up in the puritan tradi-
ton, she is unable to accept the
ero.ic element in an otherwise salts
flying relationship.
Therefore. s'hen we see her in the
joys and sorrows of her first love
affairs, we should maintain a tactful
and sympathetic silence. She will
sense that we understand and will
talk to us freely II she feels the need
of our help.
Soon she will learn that there is
more to love than its thrills. II she
Is permitted 20 work things out with
out censurc or interference, she may
one day know her own feelings and
say with some likelihooduf being right
about it, that's love-"

CHILDRENS DISEASES ARE UN-
NECESSARY

Several hundred thousand children
die every year in the United States
from diseases which are absolutely
unnecessary. Many people believe
that such diseases as measles, chick
enpox, scarlet fever and whooping
cough are unavoidable, but this opin-
ion is far from being true. We know
that these illnesses are usually con-
tracted because the child Is exposed
to these diseases, and the boards OF
health are undoubtedly doing much
good by compelling known cases OF
contagious diseases to be isolated to
prevent epidemics as much as pos
sible. However, want to impress
upon the mind Of every one Of my
readers that 1t is impossible for q
child to contract these diseases unless
1t first has become weakened by
enervation Of toxemia. This condition
Is only possible when the child has
been subjected to errors in diet, ex-
cesSive mental strain, late hours. and
lack Of bathing or fresh air, or other
unhygienic habits. The fault must
usually be laid to lack Of knowledge
on the part Of parents. as the child
Is almost completely under their con-
troll.
Nature should not be unjustly
blamed for these diseases Of child
hood. The parents are frequently
careless and permit their youngsters
to do things which are known to be
injurious, and one parent tries to out
do the other in bribing the child with
sweets in order to gain the child'S
affection. Mother buys her loved one
q lollypop, and father tries to 60 one
better with an ice cream cone. then
grandma comes along and treats to a
bag of popcorn, while aunty feels that
she is negligent unless she buys a
sack Of jelly -beans. And SO the game
Of bribing goes on at the expense Of
the health of the youngstcr whom
they all love so dearly. When the
child becomes sick, the parents are
willing to spend any amount of money
and many weary hours at the bed
side In an effort to beat off the
demon" disease while nature is
really trying to adjust the metabol-
ism and bring the child through a
difficult crisis.
Much the same causes are respon-
sible for all of the chronic diseases
Of childhood, such as the enlarge
ment Of the tonsils and adenoids,
bronchitis, catarrah and undernour-
iShment.
If children are properly treated,
they recover from these diseases with
remarkable rapidity because their vi
tally is much greater than the vi
tally Of adults. There is no doubt
in my mind that most of the deaths
occurring to children from the acute
diseases are absolutely unnecessary
and could have been avoided had the
parents sufficient knowledge Of the
important subject of raising children.
Nature wants children to live and
survive and they often do SO under
tremendous handicaps. Even child
born in the worst surroundings from
unhealthy parents can generally be

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

cation and function of that particu-
lar organ in the human structure
which scientists Of today arc finding
out is held responsible for most all
the diseases we seem to be heir to
and, at the same time have learned
that we individually, are able to con-
troll to the extent that we can keep
from having all these troubles that
the human family is complaining OF
today?"
Answer: There is no one particu-
lar gland which is responsible for the
diseases Of the human body. Perhaps
you are referring to the ductless
glands of which there are quite
number in the body, each having
special functions-some Of which are
unknown.
Olive Oil
Question: A. S. B. asks: us olive
oil too much fat for the body II a
scant two ounces stirred In the Juice
OF an orange is used every night to
prevent constipation"
Answer: see no harm in your
using two ounces of olive oil a day,
but this should not be necessary II
you keep your diet well balanced and
develop a good tone Of your abdom-
tl1al muscles.
Lump Over Navel
Question: D. M. G. asks: what
would cause growth or lump just
above my navel? It has been there
for about three years, but hasn't
bothered me until the last two or
three months. Seems to pull or draw,
and can't bear for anything to touch
1t. Will you kindly tell me some
thing about it? I am worried for
fear it is cancer"
Answer: 1t would be difficult for
me to advise you about the lump
without having the opportunity OF
making a personal examination. Get
your doctors opinion as to whether
1t Is a hernia or tumor, and IL you
will send me a copy of his report
will be glad to give you my advice.
