Bingham spoke in part as fol he ‘public welfare is a subject in |which we are all interested, whether we look at it from the point of view of the town, the city, the state or the nation. There are some things, such as national defense, forcign affairs and interstate relations, which can be assunied best by the nation. On the ! other hand, the weifare of our chil- dren is the chief concern of thelr par- {euts or guardians and cannot wisely be essumed by the nation. Tn view jof the fact that the state is anxious !that its future citizens should have {healthy, well trained minds in | healthy, well trained bodies, some thoughtful writers believe that the |atate should assume the entire sponsibility of rearing and training [1ts children. A paternalistic system of government has obvious advantage in efficiency, although its real advan- |lages are more superficlal than fun. | damenta) | “It 1s ecasy for state inspectors to judge whether schoolhouses are med- lern and sanitary, whether school- eachers are graduales of normal hools, whether school children are being taught the latest brands of sci« cnce and art, but it is not o casy {for state inspectors to judge whether |school children are developing sturdy | characters, self-control and a vital {ambition te hecome useful citizens !through honest effort, These are | things which parents and neighbors know about but which it is hardly | possible for the state government to {learn in time to be of service, Con- sequently the towns must be ready to {assume the responsibility for having |charge of both teachers and schools nd must not expect to lay this re. sponsibility on state or national au- thorities. o Paternalism and Cannon FPodder A paternalistic system tends to de- velop efficient subjects rather than seif-reliant citizens. Efficlent sub- jects make excellent cannon fodder jand useful tools with which to carry |out the designs of an all-wise govern- | ment. Self-reliant citizens are the life | blood of a repubMe. 1 fthey are de. prived of their responsibilities by a | wige paternalism, them the republic is likely to hecome an oligarchy or an |arvistocracy or an autocracy, even | though its outward forms seem to be {those of a democracy. Self-relfant 'vitizens must be able to practice the duties of citizenship. If the necessity for making important decisions is taken away from them and given to & state bureau, if the fundamental re- | sponsibility of secing that adequate |and comprehensive educational facili- | ties are provided for the children of |the community is taken away from. |the voters of the town and glven to the officers of the state, a fatal blow | 1= struck at the [foundations ¢f our | Rovernment, |7 “Even though in some respects the | children may not be taught as weil under a system which permits the scit-reliant citizen to make mistakes, {this loss is as nothing compared to the consequences of a paternalistic | system which, while providing stand- | ardized echools, standardized teachers | and standardized children, fails to de- | velop self-reliant citizens who have learned wisdom through the respon- cibility for making important decis. ions, fails to give teachers the joys of | exercising their own ingenuity, pre- vents them from inspiring pils with high ambitien, and tha children to become rather seif-reliant. Of what good is it for a republic 16 care f fthe welfare and sdacation of its chil- Ldren if it fails to develop citizens whn do their thinking and are cusiomed 1o making their own de- cisions. than or can own Tavor Bl of n s, who aps dnvend ng people in the United St ndency wish tie | Advising all to do everything pos- their pu- teaves | dependent | 10 turn our government into & beneve olent despotism, is clearly shown in the recent vote of the house of rep- resentatives, which, by an enormous majority, passed a proposed amend- ment to the United States constitu-. tion giving to congress the power to forbid the employment of children under 1§ years of age. The supreme court has dcclared that under the United States constitution as it is at present the states, and not congress, have the right to legislate regarding such matters as the employment of young people, This proposed amend- ment is intended to give congress that power and is aimed to still further curtall the freedom of the individual citizen. Many of us were glad enough to secure employment when still in our early teens, in order to get money enough to go to school and college. 1 worked for a newspaper publisher, on a delivery route, when I was 14 yeurs old. | worked for a carpenter when I was 16 and earned money to help me go to college. | worked on a farm, and for many other employ- , ers, doing odd jobs, and 1 am sure this employment never hurt me, Even if it had, the propesal to give con- 8ress the power to prevent such em- ployment is wrong. The fact that the house of rcpresentatives has passed this amendment by such an enormous majority shows the strength of a very dangerous tendency which we must do everything poéssible to combat. “The fact that the great majority of parents in some of the southern states are foolish enough and short- sighted enough to wish to send their children of tender years to work in & factory, instead of having any further education, iIs greatly to be deplored and ought to enlist the active sym- pathy of all right-minded people, in an effort to change public opinion in those states so that they would real- ize the harm they are doing to their own families, The way to achieve re- forms of this kind is by spiritual measures rather than legal measures. It is by persuasion, by teaching the facts, spreading the truth and showing good will that Christianity has been spread and civilization buflt up, Let us hope that the senate will not pass this amendment. Let us do everything we can to retain the rights which th states still possess.” Dixies Coming Sunday The fast playing Dixie nine of Hart- ford will cross bats with the New Departures on Sunday afternoon, at Muzzy 1ield in the second contest of the season for the locals.
