of nation*. I cannot speak fully to
this audience upon so delicate a sub
ject, but it is of sufllc.ont Import
ance for me to commend that you
study "Hygiene and Morality” by
Dock and •‘Eugenics" by Sabi-hy. The
first is a book which should be read
by every physician, trained nurse and
young man in mis city. The second
should be read by all who are inter
ested lu the race.
-1, The transfer of responsibility
There is a tendency, easily dis i-rnt
ble, to transfer parental responsibility
to the law. We may expect too much
of the government Daws are rnadi
for bad people. They are needed
when the parent has failed. Then, it
la the duty of the parent to on-opt rati
with the officers and the law in re
straining and correcting their chil
dren. But you can never make pep -
good by force. You cant beat
morality into them. Goodin j* is not
something which can U given, as

hale been known to send bad boys
to college with the expectation that
;• bad habits would be corrected. They
will be an bad and probably Worse
titan they were at home. It requires
settled principles and ilxed character
to withstand the temptations of col

: raising the average of tnteiligcn <. and
elevating the morale of the people,
but they cannot teach fully the Bible
nor con they, because of tin- large
numbers of pupils, give that personal
touch which is so necessary in the
moulding of character.
"Again, the responsibility of the
borne is transferred to tnc enun n

go with them. But the Munday
school is not a substitute, but a sup

there is unable to repeat Impressions
with sufficient frequency to make
them deepest and most abiding. It

SERVICE-GIVING that’s the prop

mere personally conducted place of
selling. It is a public utility—good only

measured by the public's appreciation

you like the store —if it serves—its busi
