A Very Bad Habit.

When a boy breaks through the reserve which nature has given him and begins to befoul his mouth with bad language, he enters on a course that leads easily to destruction. Association with other boys at night without supervision helps on this evil way. Let’s all get together in this community and stop the profanity. To do this we need the enforcement of the curfew law and the co-operation not only of the three great p’s—“pulpit, press and police’*-—but of that still greater p, parents, and of the schoolteachers. —lndianapolis News.
