FLAYSWOMENFOR PREVAILING STYLES Looseness of Morals in } st;hool Children Attributed Bis. toDress. Suggestions for the moral = and physical upbuilding of the country's youth, and discussion of the result of social influehces upon the young, both from religious and educational standpoints, were presented by Rev. Dr. W. J. Kerby, professor of sociol- ogy at the Catholic University, and Dr, Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, at'a meeting of the 1 Hygiene Society, in Carroll Hall last night. Dr. Kerby was most emphatic in his denunciation of the light manner in which persons in the higher strata of saciety regard “scandals that strike at the very foundation of our nation,” deplored the prevailing styles among women, which he said were responsi- ble for much of the ldoseness in morals_ today, and flaved a certain type .of new aper as “sewers feed- | ing filth to the community.” The priest ridiculed the “ancient heresy"” that young man should sow his wild oats, urged parents to de- mand obedence of their children, and said that chastity among men was not only possible, but most essential for the health of the country, as proved by action taken by the gov- ernment during the great war. Dr. Ballou detailed the program for physical training now being pleted by the public school and was declared that a_re correction of remedial defects in pu- pils before graduation should be in- sisted upon. He criticised the present tendency of physical trainers in the schools devoting so much time to those bovs and girls who by their physical fit- ness had earned distinction in ath- letic events, and said most of their attention should be directed to those less fortunate. “I am not against competition the school said the superintendent, “but think it much more important that the weak and undeveloped be glven more attention.

The union members differed with a statement, published in The Star, “to the effect that the law requires Ithat the board make ‘use of the bureau of efficlency’s classification in respect to allocations.” Union officers declared that ‘the board is directed to follow as nearly as practicable the classification made pursuant_to_the executive order of October 24, 19! “If the executive order does not furnish the necessary definitions— and it does not—it is obvious that the board does not need to follow it,” declared a statement issued by the union. “And when. in spite of its inadequacy, the board attempts to substitute the bureau of efficlency classification for the specific require- ments of the act that the board shall itself prepare and publish the neces. sary definitions, the employe mus protest.” S feei WOMEN’S CLUBS HONOR MISS CORNELIA HILL Federation Elects Her Second Vice President—Sorosis Member Cele- ‘brates 90th Birth Anniversary.

The people of Kansas, according to Senator Curtis, the republican whip of the Senate, who has just returned from a two-week stay in his home state, are not thinking about or dis- cussing the world court proposal of President Harding. “During all the time I was In the state,” sald Senator Curtis, “not more than a dozen people either spoke or wrote to me in regard to the world court.” Those who did discuss the proposal with him, he said, were favorable, provided it could be made clear that the United States was not entering the league of nations by adhering to the court. The people of Kansas, he sald, are | very much interested in the raliroad problem and in the crops. Lower freight rates are what the farmers are asking. Conditlons for the farm- ers, he sald, are on the upgrade now and they are looking forward to good crops this summer.
