A Plea For the Children
BY Ruth TAYLOR

|
Lord, give to men who are old
and rougher
The things that little children suf-
fer,
And let keep bright and undefiled
The young years of the little
child"
John Masefield
America was founded by earnest
men and women who wanted free
dom to bring up their families ac-
cording to the light which was
given them to afford their children
better opportunities to grow in
strength and wisdom. The princi-
| pie of true decocracy is expressive
of this idea, the growth of the
family, the collection of families
into one state, with the good of the
majority the will of the state. Re-
ligion throughout the ages has en-
phasized he family as a unit in its
striving toward spiritual aspira-
tions. The basis of virtually all re-
ligions is the fatherhood of God
and brotherhood of man.
The solution of the problems of
the world today will be the task
of the children who are the men
and women of tomorrow. The only
real aid that can be given them
for their tremendous task is the
finest type of education and in
struction that is available.
1t has been said that the adj
vantage of the American school
system is the habits it has incul-
Gated in the children, the teaching
of children from all sorts of homes
that when they enter the class
room they are on a basis of equal
ity with every other child in the
room, Protestant, Catholic, or Jew,
Negro, White or Monaghan, that
there the only superiority is SUI
periority of brains, of concentra-
ton, of willingness to work. They
have to- learn to get along with
people when they go out into the
world. AS in life, if they can't
keep up, no matter what the rea-
son, they drop back into another
class. Rain or shine, they are ex-
pected to be at school in their
appointed places at their appointed
time. They learn that alibis do
not count.
Hate and prejudice are the alibis
of adults, they must not become
a habit with children. If hatred
of any group or class is traced
back to it's source, it will prove
to be an alibi, for some lack or
neglect or laziness. A child who
has learned to suffer, though it
may lose self-confidence and cour-
age, may be brought out of its
fog, but child who has learned
to hate is SCARED for life. Hatred
is an acid, corrosive, penetrating,
leaving great scars which never
again will be normal.
The great tragedy of the persec-
utions abroad is not SO much what
those who have been physically
hurt by them have endured, great
as their sufferings may have been,
but what the prosecutions have
done to the prosecutors. How can
children trained to hatred, to be-
trayal, to calumny from their ear
lest days ever become honorable
men and women, or citizens of any
decent world? The utter damning
of the children of the totalitarian
states is not only the greatest ira
gedy of today but the greatest
menace to the world of tomorrow.

Proclamations Issued
 To Reduce Accidents
President Takes Official COgnizance of Loss of Life
 Defense Program Endangered; Mayor SCuly Appeals

President Fronkhn D. Roosevelt has issued a proclamation dealing with the wastage of human lives, re- sources and materials through the excessive accidents which are oc- curing on the highways, industry and everywhere. Tn his proclamation he asks for cooperation from every one.
 The text of the proclamation is:
 The Nation is confronted with Q rapidly rising accident toll. At the present rate, the total number of deaths from accidents this year will exceed 100000. Traffic accidents alone caused S4,600 deaths in 1940, and thus fer in he present year there has been an increase of sever- teen percent in trafac fatalities. By taking a huge toll in life and property, accidents definitely hinder our national defense effort. To in sure maximum efficiency we must
