THE FAMILY AND THE CHILD I Dr. Cyrus Thompson, of Jack sonville, in his presidential ad dress to the thirty-second annual meeting of the Tri-State Medical Association of the Carolinas and Virginia, discussed "The Family and the Child.” He begins his address with this statement: "I am persuaded that most that is best in the education of the child is very old. and that much that is new is but a fashion.” He thinks “that the rearing of right minded and right-hearted men and women is today and always man’s chief business: humanity's severest task and sublimest duty, • and he asks the questions: "How shall it be done? Shall it be done in the old way of authori tative training or in the new way of the loose rein and the bridle free?” Dr. Thompson is inclined to believe more in environment than in heredity, for the reason that this belief keeps him out of the Pit of helpless fatalism. He says: ”Wc cannot control the heredity of the child; that is pact: but we can measurably control his I training and environment, and so! make of him if we will, a new and different creature from what' he would have been.” Dr. Thompson states further! 1 lis ideas concerning the family is follows: i I have said that the gravest1 luestion that confronts us is how I ve shall rear right-minded men j ind women. We cannot rear them' >y turning them loose as chil iren and letting them go their• ray. The trend, I know, is to cod- \ lie children and criminals, to ad ninister democracy in overdose, j : confess I have no sympathy vith the trend. First in the ful illment of this purpose is the nstitution of the family, in which purpose if it fails, there is no •eason for its existence. After the ramily come the schools, which nay supplement the family’s vork, but by no means can they take its place: and out of the family and the school come the further adjuvant of civil govern ment and orderly society. If these institutions function with serious purpose the human equation of this environment Is ever better than its predecessor. The better the institution of the family and the firmer its government, the better the school, the better the individual, the society and the government founded upon them. Not only is the family the ne cessary unit-foundation of civil government, it is the type of all government that is best, in that its authority is exercised for the common good of all its members. In that it is limited only by the conception of the common weal, it is a republic; in that the au thority of its head is absolute, of it will be, and absolved from the consent of the governed, it is a monarchy. In view of its pur pose the Justice of such govern ment admits of no question. The sovereign law is always the love and constructive wisdom of the wiser and more mature. In the face of the declaration that all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, here the consent of the governed is neither asked nor required. For the justness of parental authority, the consent of the child, the immature and iiiiuuiijcwni. is immaterial. If the rhild consents it is better for him. If he is rebellious, so much the worse for him. We practice this doctrine measurably in our jemocracies. We govern millions n our Southern states and in some of our dependencies some Pillions more without their con sent, and we believe that we give -hem a Just and the very best government of which they are capable. Parental authority ex sts as an imposed and inalien able obligation that must be ex raised. What the incompetent md immature may consider their ights are not to be conceded or considered for a moment. The luty of the mature to the im nature; of the competent to the "competent; of the fit to the mflt; of the higher to the lower, u order to level the lower up o the higher; of the wise to the oolish; for the increasing wis lom and welfare of both the fool Sh and the wise, this always is >aramount in any form of just overnment. And in order that Just social government may exist at all. this uty of authority must find its irst and fullest exercise in the overnment of the family. s0 'ith all our increase of knowl dge and accumulation of wealth iur utilization of material re ources and prevention of materi el waste, our marvelous state and lalional progress, the thoughtful nan cannot fail to inquire if we uc rearing men and women; ’U'lding character; if the family s fulfilling its purpose as well as t did in former times. If not. hen notwithstanding our evident ucrcasc of knowledge and wealth nd the gay pleasures of living e are but tithing mint and anise nd cummin and forgetting the eighter matters of the law.

In the mad quest of pleasure and the assertion of individual rights, are we holding on to that ancient; faith which can save a man? Are wc not rather follow!:^ the lead of the prodigal who spent his substance in riotous living and fain at last, though a Jew, would have filled his belly with the husks which the swine did eat? Do not misinterpret me. I am not preaching you a sermon. I am not a preacher. I am a sim ple-minded, piney-woods philoso pher., come out of the lowlands by the sea, where we sometimes think that we feel the hand and hear the voice of God. This much I know: If my son have not re spect for my authority and the authority of the state: if my daughter reverence not high and holy things; if they have not faith and hope and love abiding in them: if they have not re spect for the rights of others and profound respect for them selves: if they have not that in tangible something which we good call character, no wealth of mine and no knowledge of theirs can tell me that they are not dangerous derelicts without an chor, and I shall know that they are the “heaviness of their fath er.” u is said that when the cotir., chaplain of Frederick the Great was asked by that bluff monarch, for a concise summary of the arguments in support of the truth of the Scriptures, he instantly re plied: "The Jews, your majesty, the Jews”—a people of familie.-, obedient, reverent, faithful, law abiding, enduring, taking to them • selves, therefore, the mastery of the world. Have you never read. "And the Lord said, shall I with hold from Abraham that thing which I do, seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the na tions of the earth shall be blessed in him. For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him and they shall keep the way of the Lord to do justice and pudgment that the Lord may bring upen Abraham that which he hatn spoken of him?" It could come in no other way. Let us say rever ently that not even the Lord could bring it to pass in any other way. The family in other words is the divine instrumentality lor rearing men and women to right living and good citizenship to the end that justice may come into and bless the world. The family is an institution of such prime necessity that there can be no civilization, no sure government and progress without it. Our sav age bent is such that children untrained in the family become lawless men exaggerating per >onal obligation. They make not strong men, but passionate men, md passionate men are always weak men—men who suffer be cause they express the masteiy not of the best, but of the woist that is in them. Untrained to obedience to authority and to control of self, they are unorgan - izable and ungovernable, except by force. In the building of strong character and the making of good men and women: in the making of good - citizenship for just and stable government, this training of children in obedience is fundamental. He that was nev er ruled can never be fit to rule even himself. Only by those who have themselves been disciplined can discipline be taught to oth ers. For the character of man; the rule of conduct set up in men: the sense of values which shall guide men. is a work of early and not of late years. Nations are but aggregations of individ uals. Those, therefore, who will control and teach the children and the youth of the land, shape and fix the destiny not only of individuals, but of nations as well. For the character of society is determined by the character of its units, and its character cannot be formed or reformed en masse. Every child, the individual unit, must be trained in the way he should go or he will not go it. The training of the child is not only the family right, but it is the family duty also. It is not a work which you may do or not do at your pleasure, it is your inalienable obligation both to your child and to the state. The parent may not shift his obligation to the teacher. The teacher does well who discharges his own obligations. Some things in life are fundamental and can not be gainsaid, contravened, or ignored with impunity. Am I declaring a doctrine of extreme hardness? Nay, it is the wholesome doctrine of repression foi healthy growth. We practice it in the vegetable world and in our dealing with lower animals. Indeed it is the sanest, the safest and most progressive doctrine ever proclaimed. The Puritan may have been unditlv austere. but the Puritan made strong men and women. Am I advocating cruelty? Nay. but rather the very essence of tenderness. I am build ing up. I am not tearing down. The crudest of all cruelties is that false tenderness which cod dles, robs and spoils your child. What is that but to take out of your dearest the best that is in him along with all hi.s best possibilities? What think you of a guardian who squanders the estate of his ward? When the ward comes of age his estate is gone. Make the child's life richer and sweeter; make him safer, better and greater; put your child in control of himself with a rich, helpful and lasting freedom—lest when grown he become like a city that is broken down and without walls. For his sake drill into him obedience and courage, uncommon honesty and high pur pose. hardihood and industry, rev erence and self-respect with sell control: and implant in him by your life a sense of value, the love of high ideals and a wise sense of the good and beautiful. Permit me to say that I know no more destructive sin in all the world than this: That men and women mate and marry and have children born of them, self ishly contenting themselves with the pleasure of living or the ac cumulation of wealth, so engross ing themselves that they neglect p meanwhile their parental duty to! 1 their offspring and to society through them. I care not what your blood may be, the moral qualities of parents , are not inherited by the child. 1 When parents neglect the train- 1 ing of their children their chil- ■ dren come up not much advan taged over illegitimate waifs. An undue burden is devolved upon the schools and the state, and the union from which such chil dren spring is hardly worthy of the sacred name of marriage. If you have children, therefore, take time from everything else to rear and train them. The school teach ] ers will help you, but you must precede and support and still ac company the teacher. The better you have done your work the more tolerable is life to the teacher and the more helpful the i teacher can be to you and to the state. Have you a daughter? Give her every day somewhat of your time. Have you a son? Take time | to become his most intimate ! friend. It may encroach upon ; your business or pleasure and j you may thereby leave a little less j money to your children when you j go out to your long home and | carry nothing with you, but you ; would leave your daughter a bet jter woman and your son more | of a man, for the progress of the | race and the betterment of the i state. You will have lived con ' structively for your children and j for society, the life of a god ful filling a divine purpose.' And now just one final word in ! conclusion: As a physician of .long experience, I have suggested | here. I verily believe, the best 'possible prescription for the cur ling of social ills and the better 'ment of mankind. CORBETT HATCHER SCHOOL I On Friday, March 14, the sixth j and seventh grades gave a pro gram on Europe. We had just finished studying the continentj of Europe. We had a pupil to | represent each country. They were I arranged on the stage as the! countries were arranged on the1 map. The small pupils were chos en to represent the small coun-1 tries and the larger ones the large countries. Each person told the most interesting things about ,his or her country, and some ex hibited products of theirs. We let the fifth grade guess which coun tries were represented. We sang two European songs with the pro gram, one a song about Scotland and the other was an Italian song. The second grade wrote some paragraphs about their pets last i week. We selected one from the jboys and one from the girls. MY PET DOG 'Elizabeth Eason) ! I have a pet dog named Spot, jl know my dog can catch rab | bits. He is a pretty dog. I feed him twice a day.

Floyd, tobacco specialist at State college. Mr. Floyd says tne analysis to use on heavy and more produc tive soils is eight per cent avail-. able phosphoric acid, three per cent nitrogen or ammonia and five per cent potash. For the light and less product 'e soils, he rec ommends eigir per cent phos phoric acid, four per cent nitro gen or ammonia and six per cent potash. The tobacco plant needs five principal plant foods. These are the three given and some chlorine and magnesium. The phosphoric acid stimulates root : growth and aids die crop to rip en properly. Nitrogen causes plant j growth and should come from the organic and inorganic forms with 1 about fifty per cent from each kind. Potash aids maturity of the \ plant and helps it to resist cer tain leaf diseases. A small quantity of chlorine lelps to increase the acre value >f the crop, but too much injures ,he growth and reduces the qual ty, makes it cure out dull in lolor and thin and soggy. It also las an unfavorable effect on. the jurning quality of the leaf. Less han two* per cent of chlorine should be in the fertilizer ma terial. Magnesium prevents sanddrown which is a different trouble from potash deficiency. Where soils are acid, it pays to use dolomitic limestone at the rate of from 600 to 1.000 pounds an acre, says Mr. Floyu. It is best applied broadcast on small grain during the fall or winter before the to bacco is planted. It also gives good results applied in the drill from 60 to 90 days before the crop is transplanted. The loss of green color in the tobacco leaf shows how the sanddrown malady is attacking the plants.
