Immoral or Educational?
CNew York Times)


 The American Committee on Maternal Welfare has prepared an educa tional film in dramatic form which is entitled "The Birth of Baby" and which has been branded as indecent immoral and tending to corrupt morals by the educational authorities of the State It hard take this opinion seriously in face of a sponsorship which includes such important bodies as the American Medical Association the United States Public Health Service the American College of Surgeons the American Public Health Association, the Department of Labor the American Genealogical Society in face of the fact that the production was supervised by five eminent obstetricans connected with ranking hospitals and universities. Actually the story of pregnancy and the need of medical care in critical period of a prospective mothers life is told with the simplicity, frankness and reverence that one of the supreme miracles of nature demands. Moreover the committee will to it that the film advertised with the restraint that its sponsors and the public expect and that it will not be coupled with plays which may counteract whatever wholesome in- fluence it may exert.
 Our obstretrcal record is appalling when com pared with that of other countries In 1886 about 2000 mothers died in childbirth in the United States; about 30000 babies died within Wenyfour hours after they were born; 10000 more babies died before they were month old These deaths must be attributed in part to ignorance fear an unwilngness to face the responsibilities of parenthood, an attitude of sec recy about that couples mystery with pruriency The obvious remedy is education And the most powerful of all means of education should be film which physicians have directed and which physicians have approved.
 Experience has shown that the words syphilis and "gonorrhea" must be used in print if venereal diseases are to be conroedl Novels plays, books on the social sciences discuss with frankness that would have seemed incredible at the turn of the cen tury. Endorsed it is by the foremost medical and civic organizations the Birth of Baby" merely fol- lows the trend of the times The experiment of ex- hibting it with the safeguards provided should be made

FRIDAY, APRIL l, 1888
 Surprisingly good aspects rule to- day, according to astrology. It is a day most suspicious for the ambi- tions of women.
 Beginning early in the morning heads of households should use their best energies in adjusting family affairs and in looking after per- sonal matters.
 It is a promising day for enter taining and for advancing social interests. Girls may be lucky in ex- tending their acquaintance with in- fluential persons.
 Although it is Friday there is a good luck sign for all who plight troth. Weddings are well directed under a sign that presages few quar- rels and many happy days.
 Whatever is constructive in aim or in practical attainment is sub ject to stimulating and favorable in fluences. It is preeminently lucky for home building. but temptation to be extravagant in plans should be overcome.
 Trade should be profitable today and merchants will reap abundant ly from spring buying that in cer- tain lines reveals reckless expendi- lures Purveyors to women's wants will realize large profits.
 Rumors e war will increase and the United States will enter into more than one international agree ment of future significance.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of much pleasure and new friendships. For the young courtship is forecast.
 Children born on this day proba- ply will be kindly in nature and lovers of beauty. Many subjects Of this sign have artistic talent.
 Otto von Bismarck, first chancel- Tor of the German Empire, was born on this day 1915. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Edward A. Sothern, actor, 1926; George Hugh Lee, manufacturer, 1881.

HELPING JUNEAU CHILDREN

Reading for the normal person IS the most effec- tive means of learning If it is good reading the learning becomes of greater value and lasting quality If on the other hand the reading material is inferior the learning is likely to be much on the same order It is to encourage the right kind of reading among the boys girls of the community that the Juneau womens Club is urging a Ch1drens Story Hour at the Public Library.
 As its Civic Department committee points out a chdrens story hour, wherever conducted whether in homes in schools, in libraries, play centers, or wherever young people may gather to study, read or play has been found be very potent factor in the training education and entertainment of children of all ages.
 Every boy and girl in our community or in any community is entitled to a chance. The churches and schools with their preachers and teachers are doing their best to give them that chance. However many children do not go to church Sunday School and many children would rather not go to school good many from each of these groups drift into the public library sometimes because they want to and sometimes because for the moment there is no where else to go
 These youngsters are all in the formative period of their development all of them less impress sionabe. imaginative and responsive. And ii, just at the right time they can have brought to their attention the kind reading that will gratify their curiosity eagerness and at the time interest them in worthwhile idea, they have been given
 good chance to get right start in the right direction
 Nothing better than this can happen to a young person for there time in life when right read ing so importent in childhood. A child does not read to culcze and compare He reads for the pure fun of finding himself in a new world and is eager and curious to keep exploring 1t. The natural and necessary thing to do then is to interest them in good readng-the right kind of reading. This is the purpose Of the story hour. It is laudable pur pose, one which should be given the support of the community
