MORAL TRAINING IN
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
America has a wonderful
public school system, and the
teachers deserve great credit
for their efforts in training
American children, for they are
a. very independent race.
Our present courses do not,
however, include teaching of
any definite code of ethics or,
code of morals, if you please,
and it. is a serious shortcoming.
'1 here is no other country in the
world where children are so
free from religious influence a
here, but neither is there any
other country where they r •
ceive so little definite instruc
tion in how to behave as they
do here.
The Ten : Commandments
would serve as a mighty good
code of morals and while it is
true that these commandments
are found in the Bible, it can
not be said that they refer to
any particular religion or
creed. They are a sound ba
sis for conduct and are well
worth teaching our young Am
ericans.
If this code is not satisfac
tory then let us formulate
another code which we all can
accept as fit to teach our chil
dren and let us incorporate
that in the regular public
school instruction.
We can afford to devote a
definite period in the regular
curriculum to giving them in
struction in truthfulness and
honesty, as well as other de
tails of the moral code. We
cannot too strongly impress
upon the growing minds the
abhorrence of lying and steal
ing. As it is we only refer to
these things when special cases
come up.
It is a fact that children pay
more attention to instruction
given them in the school than
they do to what their parents
tell them. Of course our teach
ers everywhere do teach them
some ethics, but only through
their personal conduct and an
occasional lecture.
If we taught grammar or
I arithmetic in that manner very
'lew of our children would
j learn much about these bran
(lies, and since we acknow
ledge this fact by teaching
them diligently it seems logi
cal to do the same with res
pect to morals and ethics.
We all acknowledge the ne
cessity for thorough training in
'any of the different studies
.such as mathematics, language
: etc., in fact we know that un
! less our children attend school
regularly covering all grades
and the high school, they will
not la1 equipped to take good
tare of themselves. If this is
i true concerning such things, is
it not equally true concerning
morals and does it not indicate
the necessity for a more defin
ite training in a code of mor
als?
There is plenty of evidence
everywhere that we feel the
need for teaching our youth
(definitely along moral lines
and this is shown by the fos
tering of such movements as
the Hoy Scouts, Camp Fire
Girls and other similar organ
izations. which all have for
their purpose teaching boys
and girls good morals.
This is an important matter
and merits the consideration of
every good citizen, for when
this is made a part of our reg
ular public school instruction
our youth will he better pre
pared to become good citizens
and a smaller percentage will
go wrong.
bet us teach our children,
in the public schools, a simple,
straight forward, but definite
code of morals, just as we now
teach them mathematics or
other subjects. Then they will
become better citiezns and will
be able to promote a better ei
1 viliaztion.

GOOD PASTURE HELPS
CONTROL HOG DISEASE,
Also Aids In Lowering Percent
age of Worm and Lice
Infestations
Rotation of pastures is im
portant in eontrolling1 diseases
anti lowering percentage of
wrom infestation in swine, ac
cording to Dr. W. E. Dodd, in
spector in charge of hog chol-j
era control of the state. Recent
invetsigations made by the U.
S. Bureau of Animal Industry
and the state veterinarian de
partment show five different
species of worms in hogs and
a majority of the herds infes
ted with lice.
These herds which were in
fested with lice and worms
roamed on land that had been
in pasture for many years with
out rotation with any other
crop. An example of the ad
vantage of rotating the pas
tures was found on the farm of
M. M. Rutherford of Sulphur
Rock. On this farm no intes
tinal parasites were found. Mr. i
Rutherford’s success in raising ”
large numbers of hogs is due
to rotation of pastures and
proper imoculation with anti
cholera serum and virus, is the
opinion of Dr. Dodd.
Worms and lice lower the
vitality of the hog so that it is -
susceptible to any swine disease
prevalent. General unthrifti- ^
ness is the most important sym- J
tom produced by the infesta- j
tion parasites. To get results j
with the simultaneous treat- j
ment of anti-hog cholera serum j
and virus, the hogs must be in a •
healthy and thrifty condition •:
at the time of inoculation *
Hogs with worms are not in a !
thrifty condition. J
There are many conditioning }
powders on the market but the 5
' following formula which has j
been used by farmers for a ‘
number of years is probably as »
■ good as any according to Dr. i
■ Dodd. i
One pound of wood char- i
coal, one pound of sulphur, i
two pounds of sodium bicarbo- J
nate, two pounds of sodium ;
chloride, two pounds of sodium j
hyposulphite, one pound of so- :
dium sulphate and one pound ■
of antimony sulphate.
These ingredients should be •
mixed thoroughly and given :
with the feed in the proportion
of a large tablespoonfull to
each 200 pounds of weight of
hogs not more than once daily. ■
