We are led to believe in childhood that the moral to this was that fools and children ought not to ask ques tions. Recently we came across a won derful sentence that suggested to us the other side of this proposition. U was: "No consecrated absurdity could have stood its ground in this world if the man had not silenced Jhe ob jections of the child." That is a remarkable thought. In one short sentence it epitomizes th great obstacle to progress. . The mind of a child is simple. We were told by Jesus to feel the truth and power of God within us we must approach the great problem of the soul as a child would approach it, with open mind and heart, ready to believe what seems natural and right. The Urlm and the Thummim, the ridiculous scapegoat, the phylactery and the eye-for-an-eye business will all disappear from the mind of a re spectable person when he begins to answer the moral questions of a littl child. Kowa s rattier, answering ques tions honestly, must be a good man or become one. The thief can never explain his reasons to a child. Let the child ask Andrew Carnegie about the connection between public libraries and the strike In Bethl hem, not of Judaea, and the Laird o Skibo will gang aglee 1n a trice, or words to that effects The child asks "why" instantly, when he sees another child born to millions while he and his are starving. Strip your mind of its prejudices and follies, answer him es simply and innocently as he ask3, dare to tell the truth to his ear and to your own heart, and you shall solve in 10 minutes that great modern riddle of the Sphinx which not to answer Is to be destroyed. DOING THINGS IN DALLAS. The cities of the Calumet region have made great progress industrially but most of the development that has taken place so far has been along commercial lines. Along the lines of money making. Very little has been done solely as a result of a manifestation of civic pride. The Hammond Country Club, which is now in the course of construction, and the Gary and East Chicago and Indiana Harbor Commercial Club buildings come the nearest being examples of unadul terated civic enterprise. It will do the cities of the region some good to note what the city of Dallas, Texas is doing to destroy the popular conception that the south is unprogrsiv. The following under the caption, "Welfare Work Itt Dallas" gives

In the good old days of the little red school they used to tell the youngsters that every American boy was a prospective president of the United States. Then, when the new fads got the strangle hold on the best parts of education it was the theory that to preach such doctrine was to mislead the youth as but few would get to be president. Things might be righted .a little 1 by teaching those of the rising gen-
