I051 Fill Bllllllfltl [IBIS [If [le Ignorance is iiot a iioral Sate BuarI--.iiiere is Nothing Wicked in Nature The teaching of eugenics. or. as the headmistress expressed n, oi the has of nature, is now included in the timetable of an up-to'dnte Hert- foflldlire, England village school. At, present the subject is not recog- nized in the school curriculum, and is ducked on to the Scripwm ksson This week many visitors at the school, which nnniiers sixty children boys, curiously enough. outnumber ing girls by four to one, were pre- sent while the eugenics lesson was given, only the top form ol boys and girls between ten and forteen being taken in the subject. "There is nothing wicked in no Lure." began tlw headmistress to her class, and went on to talk to tho engennttentivc little boys and girls about their future responsibilities in life. "You are all going tobe fathers and mothers some day," she said. ”and if you don't grow up with strong healthy bodies you will not have strong. healthy children. "To have such bodies breathe fresh air. take exercise and [cop clean.

"If you don't teach children the facts of nature in a sensible open ‘ way. they find ulwm out for them- selves in a vulgar. improper way." way. the; where in she said. “I believe in telling uhildren those essential facts concerning life which they must know sooner or later. They ought to know; their ig'noro a'nce is not a moral safeguard, it. is the reverse; in fact. sometimes our educational methods make me want to scream “I'p till fourteen a child is strict- ly cared for by the governmentâ€"â€" even the temperature of the school- room has to be registerul~but dir- ectly he is fourteen he can go straight to the devil for all the government cares. “I think eugenics should, he taught in every school in the kingdom. If you can make a child understand the blessedness of a sound body and the awful'ness of an unsound one, you are doing as much or more as allthe resnue homes put, together. w “Witfh girls the case is far worse than with boys. “So long as a girl keeps straight no one bothers to help her at all. Let her go off the rail, however, and rescue homes galore will take her in hand.

Whisky Served A Good Purpose All the temperance people in Walk- erton, Ont, would join the hotel- keepers in one grand rally lor booze if all the beverage were put to the same use as that which Mr. John Knrmann of the Hartley House here did with a flask of whiskey last week. It was while returning: in his auto fmm the Leifso wedding in Brant at a late hour of the night that the lights nn John's car went out. for want of water in the car- lumzitnr. As the night was too dark to proeeed. and there was no water to he had. the situation seemed desperate until one of the party produced a flask of whiskey from his pocket. This was poured onto the carbije and produced a beautiful light that guarded the party houn.
