II j: THE REFORMATION OF PARENTS
V V I; By DOKOTHV DlX. The World's Highest I'md Woman W.r:ter

111 tion of corporal punishment In schools,
II J the superintendent of education of tin
III eastern school declared it was the par
Ill1 ents of bad children who should be
lift whipped instead of the children th'om
llt selves, for it was the parents who were
Ifi responsible for sending to school the
It' unruly and uncontrollable boys and
w girls, the impossibility of dealing with
ta whom on any other platform than that
lift of physical fear had brought up again
I IE tno Prob'cm of reinstating the rod in

Ik" Never was there a truer or a wiser
III Ihing said, and the most crying need of
lv the day is for some humanitarian to
llm start a movement for the reform of
II parents They need it more than any
111 other class of people in the world.
m No other such crime is being com-
K mitted as the way in which children
E rxe being reared, and life offers no
m other moral phenomenon so strange
W and so inexplicable as the attitude that
intelligent, refined, ivuight, noble peo-
pie take on this subJecL
One can easily understand .that
K criminal parents might raise up a
W brood of young crfminals to prey upon!
society, without giving th6 wrong they
jE are doing to the community a single
M, regretful thought. One can under-
stand ho'w the ignorant, unrefined mo
M thers and fathers of the slums, where
a whole family is herded together in
w one room, might rear up children who
K aro little savages with no regard for
3 anybody else's right, or comfort, or
property.
M One can understand how hoodlum
ft mothers and fathers can bring up
hoodlum children with neither man-
ft ncrs nor courtesy, nor any regard for
ft the amenities of life.
I But whn men and women who are
m- gentlemen and ladies themselves, who
'mi 'aro schooled in all the graciousness of,
f civilization, permit their children to
. flaunt tho decencies of life in the face.
and to ruthlessly trample upon the
comfort and peace of everybody who
ft, is unfortunate enough to come within
W i their ninge, the matter becomes one
K for the investigation of the alienist,
I and the interference of the police.
m So far as the victim of the modern
child can see, when people pass into
the blessed estate of parenthood a mir-
i acle Is wrought whereby they become
: deaf and blind to what their own chil
dren do and dumb so far as correcting
them is concerned.
Every woman who has to ride in
the street cars has daily illustrations
) of how willing mothers are to sacri
fice the good clothes of other women
if it affords their own children the
slightest enjoyment. Children with,
.muddy Jittlo shoes are encouraged to.
kneel on the seats and wipe their feet
; on the frocks of every passerby. Chil
dren eating bananas and candy smear
J their devastating way as they go, and
mothers smile serently at the wreck
they leave behind. Johnny and Susie
. have a good time. As for the travel-1
1 ing public, mothers should worry!
That no one has any rights "that
parents feel that their children should
, respect is too familiar a fact to argue
here. Who has not agonized while J
mothers sat calmly by and permitted i
their children to scratch pictures on
their hostess' mahogony table? Who
has not seen mothers give their chil
dren costly illustrated books belong
ing to someone else to play with ? Who
has not had children deliberately take
the sotip out of their plates and pour
it on the cloth at dinner, with never
a word of reproof from the besotted
parents?
Now why is this? None of these
women would have been vandal enough
to destroy your property themselves,
but they are mortally offended when
you rise to the protection of your
j household goods and chattels against
j their children.
People always speak with the loud
est condemnation of landlords who re
fuse to rent their property to tenants
who have children. But the ones who
should be indicted at the bar of pub
lic opinion are not the landlords, but
the parents whose children have been
so badly brought up that they are a
menace to the public welfare and a
danger to property.
The worst feature of parental en
couragement of terrorism and frlght
fulneas in children is not the harm
that they do to property, or tho nui
sance they are to grown people, but
it is the injury that is done the child
itself. For it is these children who aro
never controlled, who are never taught
to obey, who are never taught' to .re
ispect the old. or regard the rights of
others, who grow up Into the hood
lums that break their parents' hearts,
and bring their gray hairs down in
sorrow to the grave.
We talk a lot about environment,
and we have societies for the improve
ment of the environment of the poor,
but we fail to reflect that the environ
ment of millions of children in rich
homes is just as demoralizing as any
thing that the slums can offer. Every
child that lives in a home where it is
spoiled, and its egotism pampered, and
it is taught to he" selfish and disro
gardful of others is in an environment
that is a hothouse forcing all that is
worst in its character Into bloom, and
that produces wayward sons and
daughters.
I say again that the crvinir need of
this day is for reformation of parents.
But it is a Utopian dream that will
never be realized, for it requires more
nerve and backbone than the average
human being possesses.

"Cache, Weber and Utah counties
are practically cleared up," Dr. Beatty
asserted last night, "with tho oxcep
tion of the towns of Smithfield and
Richmond, in Cache county, and a few
scattered communities In the other
counties. The two towns named are
doing well, however, and should soon
be free from the Bcourgo entirely. The
vaccine has been found very offective
there and is being used by most of
the residents.

"There has been no new cases re
ported from Davis county for more
than a week, and I think it safe to say
that the scourge there has died out.
"Tho only really bad report we havo
had today came from tho city of Du

ever, that we can stamp it out in short
order."
HELPING HID HAS
MADE J REPORT
"Mother" Montgomery of tho Holp
ing Hand bureau makes her monthly
report for November saying that 100
calls were supplied with help either
oy the week, or by tho day in homes
where thero Is sickness. She says:
4T am a strong advocate of all per
sons establishing themselves perma
nently somewhere, during these stren
uous times, Instead of roaming from
one coast to the other and making
themselves a burdon on other people.
Every state and every county should
tako caro of its own, she aayB.
"I bellovo thero should bo a law
prohibiting people from leaving their
own state without moans to support
thomselves for at least a period nfter
thoy nrrivo in a new and sirango
community. I think If people In gen
eral could see tho persons who have
conio under my observation, some of
whom aro perfectly iucompetenL to
care for themselves or to make a liv
ing, they would feel as I do in this
matter. There are cases where such
circumstances aro unavoidable, but in
most cases, these persons would be
much better off where they arc ac
quainted, instead of believing it is
better further on. Yet we find con
ditions much the same the world
over. But just tell them that anyone
needing help or seeking positions
may phono SS9, or call at tho office,
2447 Grant avenue, nnd we'll try to
do what we can."
