am subscriber for your paper
and want to thank you for the cam

pollution Of streams. I can't give you
my name, for reasons that I can't
explain. In other words, existing
conditions might get me in trouble.
But I want TO ask you to examine
the little stream, Deer creek. which
flows through the Indiana state
farm.
All the sewage from the Indiana
state farm goes into this stream. a
stream you can step across in
numerous places This stream
hasn't been clean for years. About
a year ago they cleaned house at
the state farm and wagonloads of
fish were killed by the poison sew

Deer creek. This summer the chill
dren along the creek were daily
batherS in this terrible mess.
At Manhattan, Ind, just west of
state farm, all the children swan
in Deer creek because it was all they
had to swim in. This was taken I'D

time they killed all the fish, but
nothing developed.

Hoping that you will go into this

have heard this matter discussed by
many in my position-the only ones
to benefit are the present employees,

I have in mind one firm in Indi-

the five-day plan. The result has
been what I just have mentioned:
No more workers have been hired,

PAMPERING IN CHILDHOOD
MAKES EN- GROW UP
NEIIR0TICS

In his interesting little book Life
Begins at Forty" Walter B. Pitkin
says:
Our schools of childhood are
wonderful; from kindergarten to
high school they are the finest
ever. Americans are at their
best in handling children-and at
their worst in dealing with ex-
children who ought to be handled
as grown-ups. The shame Of our
land is the high school, and the
worlds worst joke Is our STAN
dard liberal arts college. Our
ablest are there disabled. -.
Everything is done to prevent
life after 20. Algebra is taught
under compulsion to millions who
can never use 1t even in intellec-
tual play -. Athletics are
socialized and commercialized to
the point at which all fun and all
benefit to the individual evapo-
rate. -. Only the robust and
the well-balanced come through
with flying colors. They finally
discover that their education be-
gan after leaving college.
Mr.. Pitkin Is a professor in Co.
lumbia university. He'll be losing his
Job 1t he doesn't watch out! He had
better leave to us lowbrows the busi-
ness Of ridiculing the teaching Of
algebra to high school children. We
don't know any better. But a uni
versity professor!
Some children are doomed in in
fancy to a neurotic life. Their par
ents, nurses, aunts, teachers, train
them for it. These misguided ones
pamper and coddle the unfortunate
youngsters and vainly strive to pro-
tect them from encountering the
sharp edges and prickles which chill
dren must learn to deal with. For
the first few years Of life the elders
offer as an excuse for their delinqu-
ency the plea that the youngster is
only q baby. At the age of 10 or IL
the unfortunate child is stigmatized
by his irresponsible elders as mot
very strong" and that, they assume, is
Justification for continuing the po-
Icy Of pampering. When the child
gets along in the teens, the now
hardened trainers concoct plot that
he Is Of q delicate nervous DISPOSE
ton or temperament or constitution
and that is tantamount to q finish
ed neurotic.
It is quite as Professor Pitkn de-
scribes in his book. Neurotics are
adults who have never had chance
to grow up.
On the bookshelves at my elbow are
stacks of volumes by prolific writers
who pose as psychologists or experts
IN child training, and I find more
solid meat and good psychology In
this little book Of Pitkin,s than you
can comb out OF the whole shelf OF
books by the self-made child hygiene
experts, and Professor Pitkin pre-
tends to be nothing more than q
teacher Of Journalism.
That . child has had acute bron-
chitis or pneumonia or meiningitis OF
rheumatic fever or infantile PARALYSIS

forever as mo tstrong," delicate" o,
nervous" or in any way In need OF
pampering or coddlng. Parents OF
guardians who permit morbid senti-
mentality to outweigh good sense in
the training Of such children work an
irremediable injustice on their chill
dren.
It is bad enough to keep children
attending schools or colleges Ions
after they have proved as incapable
as they are unwilling to acquire edu-
cation in that way. It is worse for
foolish parents to squander money
and effort In the attempt to cover
the backwardness Of the recalcitrant
instead Of recognizing his true apti-
tude or bent and giving him q fair
opportunity along the way his train
ing should go.

Find the Dry State
(New York World-Telegram)

First Indiana, Iowa, West Virginia,
Alabama and Arkansas. Now Ten
nessee. Every so-called dry state
voting to date on repeal has gone
wet.
The country begins to wonder
whether there is any dry state left
in the nation. Perhaps the repeal or
CARNATIONS are accurate in their FORE
cast that all Of the 40 or II states
voting In 1888 will ratify the repeal
amendment.
With Tennessee the score was 19
to 0 and by yesterdays vote Oregon
made it 20 to o.
And what are the drys doing about
it? A few have admitted defeat and
turned their efforts to more produc-
tive fields. But most OF them con-
tinue their old obstructionist tactics,
seeking through political evasions
and legal technicalities to prevent ac-
ton by states on the amendment and
thus delay the inevitable.
II they succeed in postponing final
ratification beyond Christmas-which
now seems most improbable they
will perpetuate the increasing chaos
OF non-enforcement and will burden
the country for another year with
the 500 100000 Of special taxes which
would be lifted by repeal.
II the drys want to advance the
cause OF temperance. as we believe
they do, there is plenty Of work
ahead without wasting time in futile
and costly auti-repeal crusades.
In the first place, they can COOPER
ate In the drafting and enactment Of
adequate and intelligent state regu-
!atory legislation for the liquor traf-
nc. Secondly, they can concentrate
on mucn needed educational cam
paign for temperance, which means
moderation.

Inevitable Outcome

Before dinner Larry Mitchell
arrived. He arrived in condition
which strongly resembled excite
ment, for Jenny, meeting him at
the station that afternoon, had, of
course, told him the whole story Of
her encounter with Mary Lou.
"She said she'd keep in touch
with us. But she won't. Where
has she gomez" Jenny demanded
frantically. "What will she do?
Larry, we must find her; she's
breaking her heart over Travers
and this idiotic woman, whoever
she is. And it's all your fault! To
think that have promised to mar
~ such an unmitigated imbecile!'
cried Jenny, very much upset.
"Checky' agreed Larry, as dis
turbed as she. "But how could I
know that Mary Lou, darn her,
would spill the complicated beans?
/ tell you, Jenny, was blamed
near keeping the whole business to
myself, but / couldn't. You see the

unabashed Larry. "But don't wor-

I'll take her and shake her"
"And bring her back to me-" or

Chance for Art in the Movies

! NN0Al~V Iva nAO Ill WIG N4OVAVE
| Sherwood Anderson, who Is usually
ranked among the half dozen finest
novelists in America, believes that
writing is dead business. The
great American novel" that every
body has been waiting for, he says
will never be written; instead, we
shall have great American movie.
This, he points out, means that the
ardent young writer who feels that
he is budding genius should not
waste his time trying to write novels;
he should look to the moving picture
If he hopes to get anywhere.
"The movie really reaches the peo-
ple," says Mr.. Anderson. I'm a small
town everyone goes to the drug store
after the show and talks it over, and
then they go home to tell the plot to
grandfather, whose bad knee has kept
him in his chair, and they discuss it
for week until a new one comes.
Movies should be simple. I am
not sure believe in propaganda
movies, although Eisenteins 'Potem-
kim with that wonderful scene Of the
terror on the long flight of steps, was
great work. But the movies have
in mind should be simple stories of
life in this country, in America"
just to clinch his argument, MIR.
Anderson points to the contrast be-
tween the movie maker, whose prod
uct goes before millions upon millions
of people, and the novelist, who feels
lucky if he reaches as many as 10000
people.
Despite the obvious fact that the
average serious novel towers above
the average program movie, intellec-
tually, as Pixies Peak towers over a
prairie dogs earth mound, it is more
than possible that Mr.. Anderson is
entirely right.
With all Of its faults-and they are
almost beyond counting-the moving
picture does offer to the artist a field
which is simply breath-taking in its
breadth and scope. To date the pos
sibilities have hardly been tapped.
But they are there, waiting to be ex-
plotted; and when the exploitation
comes we are quite likely to present
the world with new richness of
artistic creation that will be nothing
less thatl dazzling.
So far the arts in America have not
taken very deep root in the life of the
ordinary man. They have q way of
resembling shoots grated onto the
main stem. The movie offers chance
for an art that springs up from the
grass roots; an art that could ex-
press and transfigure the lusty,
many-sided, turbulent and eternally
vital life Of q great nation.
