Will the Parents Act, Though? Following the Chicago school board's announcement that pupils of the public schools in that city would hereafter be trained in sexual hygiene, so many protests were received from parents that the board properly rescinded its action. Chicago parents took the stand that the informing of children and young boys and girls should still be left in their hands. The question is, will the parents do their duty in this respect ? Their failure to do so in many instances is directly responsible for the moral degradation of many innocent but ignorant boys and girls. In its current issue under the title, "Modesty and Shame," Collier's editorially says: "The thousands of protests that have been pouring in on Chicago's Board of Education by mail and by telephone ever since it was proposed to give a course of lectures upon sex hygiene in the city's public schools, have caused the board to prohibit the course. A majority of the citizens who pay school taxes remonstrated, saying that such topics might better be taught at home. That everyone concerned in the controversy was moved by an intense desire to follow the right course cannot be doubted. Superintendent Young had observed tendencies that woefully demanded correction, and the protesting parents were just as earnestly convinced that the lectures might do more harm than good. Possibly a lecture course would not be the wisest method. But; concerning the principle involved, we side with Mrs. Young. Sex hygiene ought to be taught at home, as the protesters say. And it ought to be taught at school, too, as well as backed up with heart-to-heart talks by a physician, a clergyman, a principal, or anyone else whose word will convince the child that he is hearing solemn truth. Present-day American boys and girls have vigorous and independent minds not easily impressed by parental advice. How sure are these protesting parents that their "'home instruction' settles matters? That a parlor lecture or two easily offsets the constant influence of the 'smut talk' of the playground and the streets? And how about the children of the heedless, of the prudes, and of the cowards (for humanity's averages in Chicago probably will run about the same as in other cities) the children of parents who neglect or dodge the duty of frank talk and trust in Providence to see the youngsters through? All the time that this controversy is going back and forth the clinching argument for teaching sex hygiene is being cried in agonies: sons and daughters by the score are constantly being heaped in sacrifice upon the altar of pru"dery. The sob of a mother whose, baby must go through life blind because of some one's ignorance is an argument for sex education that defies the glibbest debater." One Important Festival Feature It will be possible for Richmond to offer at its Fall Festival this year one of the most remarkable industrial exhibits ever displayed in this state. Richmond is one of the most important manufacturing centers in the United States, but this fact is not as generally known as it might be. For example, when the delegates to the 1912 State Federation of Labor convention met in Richmond they were absolutely astounded at Richmond's numerous and prosperous industries. This most effective advertising the city received at the labor convention was a great public benefit. It can be followed up this year in an even more effective manner by an industrial display equal to what the manufacturing concerns of the city are capable of offering. It is to be hoped our manufacturers will co-operate with the committee in charge of the Festival industrial exhibit to the best of their ability, for this feature of the Festival should be one of the most important. Probably a majority of the thousands of peo

ple who will flock to Richmond to attend the festival will be farmers. Most of Richmond's manufacturing establishments make machines and implements for farm use. What better advertising of their products could they secure than by attractive displays at the industrial exhibit? Richmond is the most important lawnmower manufacturing center in the country a machine in which every householder is interested. Let the local lawnmower makers emphasize this fact. It will help them and help the city. One of the most popular makes of pianos in the world is manufactured in Richmond. It is important to the city that our neighbors in Indiana and Ohio learn of this fact. The industrial exhibit presents the opportunity. Local automobile manufacturers are keenly anxious to have the country know of the excellence of their machines. Undoubtedly these manufacturers realize that there will be hundreds of people in the city Fall Festival week who have substantial bank accounts and are interested in automobiles. - - -

cumulates, and will even choose to worship in the richer than in the poorer church. Like an irresistible magnet the coin of the realm will draw power, beauty, talent, luxury and genius to its side. The priority of money among all social forces is one of those social certainties that give the law to reform. To leave that basic fact out of our scheme is to leave Hamlet out of the play. Any notion that a social system can be erected on one of the abstractions like "brotherhood" or "love" is chimerical. The basis of society everywhere is the money basis. Every man has his price. Horrors! you will say, this is cynicism and base materialism; this is to suppose that honor and virtue, sincerity and integrity have no influence and that men nowhere respond to the call of the ideal! Out upon such a mean and unspiritual conception of humanity! Not so swift, my friend, not so swift. This has as little to do with "materialism" as with the Mahatmas of the Himalayan mountains, and for cynicism, that is the refuge of cowards. Once a Jewish bachelor, sideswitched by his belief in the speedy end of the world, spoke of money as "filthy lucre, the root of all evil." Thoreau said with bitterness, that money "curses all it touches." These two men were out of joint with the world and nursed a grouch and lost the power to think thereby. And such is the origin of the common superstition that to say that money is the economic imperative par excellence spells materialism. Folks only say that who have not gone to the trouble to look into the matter. What is money? Is it the green slip of paper I hold in my hand (sometimes)? Is it the disc of metal marked "dollar"? Were it so, I should care little for it. Of what use is the slip of paper to me? I can neither write on it nor read it. And what would I do with the gold or silver? Shall I make knives and forks of it? No, steel serves better. Shall I turn it into jewelry? I care nothing for rings or trinkets, and my wife will not wear ear-rings. Shall I make it into nails and screws? A poor substitute and not at all serviceable. In fact, there is nothing I could do with it. Then why do I struggle to

gain it, and nurse simple reason that

but merely the symbol of it. Money is simply a unit of purchasing power. Money is the means of fulfilling our most urgent desires. It is potential power and may mean anything. It is what ever a man wants, that for which he has the most desire. To one it may mean a bed or a meal; to another a holiday; to a t,hird, a book or picture; to a fourth, an opera or an evening at love making; to another, a journey, a picnic on Sunday, or it may mean a bottle of medicine, or a sermon by Dr. Gunsaulus in the Chicago Auditorium. "The world is his who has money to go over it. To be rich is to have a ticket of admission to the master works and chief men of each race." Give me a dollar and every man up to a point will stand ready to serve my needs. This is its true significance that it

must not lead us

material. If we could somehow coin a word of speech into a dollar it would serve just as well as gold or silver. The dollar I spend has for me a spiritual significance. It is so much of this mysterious stuff I call my life coined into ah exchangeable commodity: represents so many hours at the machine, so many furrows plowed, or ditches dug. or hours put into study, or dreams dreamed out and

made beautiful in

ment fallen from existence, a piece of the vision of life. "The subject of economy mixes itself with morals," said Emerson, and truly. Because a man is kept fastened to a joyless task by the pressure of his material needs does not in any sense commit us to that peculiar old metaphysical dogma which we call "materialism." Why does a man stick there? Why does he stay when every hour is torture, a benumbing monotony which dulls every sense in him? His material needs, replies some one, his economic pressure. But what is that pressure? The need of food in his belly and clothes on his back? By no means. In one third the time he could easily satisfy all his own material needs. The man has a family at home, a wife to look out for, children to feed and school, and rent to pay and bills to meet: there is the secret. And why doesn't he desert his wife and children, when .living might be much easier for hime? Were he made of mud and wind, and knew no motive save egotism he would

do so in a trice; but He stays because cause he cherishes searching analysis "You are getting

SOCIAL CERTAINTIES

I

BY H. L. HAYWOOD. "The Economic Imperative." THE art of gesturing is built on the principle that the limbs of the body move in the direction of one's thought: the science of economics bases on

ithe principle that society moves in the di

of the dollar. Money is the force

that drives the mill. Where dollars lie there

go. You could move New York into

the desert of Sahara if you planted enough money in the sands. Other things being equal, a man will work where most money

is; win vote wnich way ne Deiieves nis own purse most filled; will pick his friends among the best to do; will write most poems, songs

most pictures where most wealth ac it so carefully once gained? For the I this paper or metal is not money.

is a form of power. The substance which symbolizes it matters little; simply because it is stamped on metal

into the delusion that it. is thprefm . song or story. It is detached frag-' he is made of other stuff and stays. he LOVES his wife and children, be- j the fellowship of the home, and be

cause he has a sense of DUTY to those to whom he is indebted. And what are love and duty, and the finer sesibilities of the mind, if not spiritual? The economic imperative is, after all, the moral imperative; it is the spiritual and moral principles as they have gotten themselves incarnated in human stuff. A

will dissolve all the crass elements '

out of the money motive. It is found at last to be simply the most powerful of our ideals, to gather up and fuse into itself as a single unit all those motives and influences which elsewhere exist singly or in detachment. There is, therefore, no proper conflict between the social "materialist" and the social "idealist;" the real conflict is between a stronger and a weaker idealism, between less and more of spiritual and imaginative force and influence, between the whole and its parts.
