FOR BETTER PUN (Continued from I'ago 1). I have made It a point Id consult w ith several road supervisors who have been engaged In rood Improvements In Clackamaa County for a number of years, and without an exception they have Informed ine'tliiit after a super visor bus had two or three yeora' ex perience In road Improvements, they can accomplish twenty-five or thirty per cent mom thnn they couM the tlrst year, as they have lenrned how to take advantage of certain particular kind of work that they have never had ahy prior experience In, and that la the reason whv newly appointed Inexperi enced aupervlsors do not gut the best result a from the money expended. Any reasonable man could not ex pect a farmer or mechanic to take charge of rood Improvementa without any training along that line, and get the best results while he Is Inexperi enced In mad construction, and aa the Biipervlnors of Clackamaa County ore not retained any great length of time, fully fifty per cent of the experienced men ore discarded each year and In experienced men aru appointed In their atend. Mr. Hchuebel seems to be of thej opinion that the business men or Ore gon City are urging upon the tax pay ers of the County the employment of a 'lve Thousand Hollar per annum road engineer, and the only reason for that wild unreliable statement la for the purpose of creating a prcjudVe agaliiNt the employment of a Compe tent and experienced head of the road deportment of the county. As a mut ter of fact the salary of a road engi neer would not exceed one-half of that amount. In l'mntllla County they pay their road engineer $1800.00 per an num ond without a doubt they have one of (he best In the estate, and I nm certain that Mr. Scluiebcl would think an If he would go up and visit the roads that are being made In that county mid examine the records which reveal the fact that tho work la being exicnted for leas than $5000.00 per mile. We well know thnt In eetuhllHhing, grading, draining and laying macadam In the Improvement of county roads, great care and knowledge la required In order to get the best results, and while executing that work, the proper handling of the employees la one of the chief agencies In curbing the ex pense, and It goea without saying that good practical experience and traln Iiikb ia neceasary in executing that work In order to get the beat results. If Mr. Hchuebel were to build a hoiiAe or a barn, an Inexperienced man would be the Inst person he would cm ploy for thut particular line of work, and he should apply the same rule In the building of permanent roads. It therefore devolves upon the coun ty, If tho best results are obtained, to procure an experienced head to gunrd the Interests of the taxpayers ngulnrt WBste, occasioned by Inexperience. When I wna County Judge we ap pointed aa nearly aa wo could the most experienced rond aupervlsors we could get. and during that whole time we kept in office as far aa possible those experienced men, although w? were criticised for not passing the )ob down to other men who did not possess any experience or qualifications whatever. I think If Mr. Schuehel would be fair he would not fly Into a fury, or even have objections to the County Court appointing a well qualified man ns road muster to assist the rood super visors In carrying on their work un der a uniform system, and thereby get the best results from the money ex pended, and the law of 19H mi'kes It mandatory upon the County court to rcntmi t for the work In each district where .$1000.00 or more la to be ex pelled, and while the lnw la not specific In a great many Instances, I think It Is an opening wedge toward a more i:,,id Tin system of road work than we now hove. The members of the I.lve Wire or ganization, on whom Mr. Schuehel splta his venom, have more at atake In Clackamaa County thnn Mr. Schue hel ever had, and they have just as good a right to advocate a aafe and anne system of road building as any man living In the Heaver Creek dis trict. Respectfully, GRANT II. D1MICK. INCREASE NORMAL IN STATISTICAL REPORTS Vital statistics figured out from hla records for the year 1913 In the office of Dr. J. A.

There were 116 deatha and 617 births reported to the health officer from the various physicians and other sources of Information In the county. SEX TRAINING RUINS MODESTY? PARENTS OUOMT TO TEACH THE CHILD RESPECT FOR OTHER SEX, SAYS MRS. NORRIS PRESENT STYLES HELD TO BLAME Girls Should Lsarn Proper Dress snd Doubls Standards Ought to be Abolished to Curs the Present Conditions OHKOON CITY, Ore,, Jan. 27 (Kdl tor of the Knterprisel As the eugenic bug has Invaded our town, I have a fc-w pertinent questions and augges tlona to offer: la the pendulum swinging too far In sex education? Are lerlurea thai are forhldiUvn to pass through the mull unless expurgated before being printed In the newspapers or current rnngii xlncs, the type of education to pro mote purity of thought In the growing youth, though they receive the Instruc tion from parent or teacher? I wot not. Are the promoters of thla fad con sistent In their efforts of Instruction? Can they secure the desired result, absolute purity of nil ml In s-x rela tion, by such a broad education of In formation given through parent or teacher to the youth of immature mind, will, judgment or discretion, hut. an over surplus of the very ele ment that makea for success or fail ure, that of curiosity see-for-inyself especially of the things tabooed? Would It not be better If mothers and fathers paid greater heed to the go ing and coming, the associates. In not permitting the little girl and boy to don Hyi atyles of the adult, going to "movies," to evening entertainment, to gather In groups of three to five or six at the depots or other public places unattended by any one but thi'ir own sweet selves: girls from twelve to fif teen years of age, with hair done like the fraiiiy poodlu over their eyea. and In the latest style, disposed In lyke knots at the back, topped off with wide bands of ribbon around the head to prevent any possibility of the poodle fringe being lifted from eyes or fore head? This at a time of life admitted by all phvalologlsla to be the time of a God given tiHtnre that brines Into potent Hie the element that stirs the young blood and brings a sub-conscious con dition that may. If left unguarded, cause a beginning that may prove to be a beginning of the fatal end. If the girl or boy be ever so fully In st met la It not exectlng more than mature knowledge should that there should ever be no Indiscretion and many times a greater mistake from thla disregarded liberty, and normal amusing of the life that merges from child life to thnt of the maturing man and woman of the future? From the doya when "the good doctor finding llitle brother or aister In a hollow sttitnn. etc." did they not have the pur est girls and boys, Innocent In mind, nuturatly of modest demeanor, fewer mistakes made, less prostitution? And one great resson for that was the double life of the young men was not looked upon so forgivingly as it is now. A fallen woman waa regarded like unto tho poor lepper that ever had to cry "unclean, unclean," and from whose preaence even In tne pub lic highway our youths were carefully guarded. Teaching purity of mind In sex re lation, and were harping, harping on the 'Immodesty of the tight aklrta, yea the silt, the peek-a-boo waist," the frowning on co-education especially af ter puberty seems the very acme of In- conalstancy. These latter things "con tributing to the delinquency of man. If the mind Is pure on sex relation, the female from that In the beginning waa when unadorned, then adorned the moat. The fig leaf came with sin. So when the alnful or lustful mind Is purged of evil thoughta. then there will be only the beautiful to be seen In the clinging or even the commodl ously silt skirt., the beautifully round ed throat of the objectionable shirt walat. The good hook save "to the pure In heart all thing J are pure" Tenching purity of sex, and the un folding of the mystery of procreation to the girl and boy, the Infant If you please, as one Chautauqua lecturer said she hnd begun with her two years old baby boy. telling the story of the IIH.v, explaining It by demonstration, and telling it of Ita ofn prenatal and advent Into world life: then at the age of puberty cloister the sexes during their Bchool years or, what amounts to practically the aame, give them sep arate schools. Swathe the female figure from throat to toe with abund ance of rloaely woven cloth to prevent any possibility of delinquency of mind In the boy or man! If thia education given to the young boy and girl can not eliminate the God given nature, or modify It ao the boy and girl can snfely attend the same Institutions of education, what do we profit by all this Instruction' Would It not be better to s:fegMnrd our youths until the time demanded by nnture for such Instruction neces sary for their health, and after hedge them about with some companionship of those who ar vitally Interested in their safety reaching the years of well established mnturity: teaching the girls felf rrspect. res'icctful treatment demanded by them from the opposite sex, not along six instruction, but bo cauae It alves them an added valua tion In the estimation. of their n ale associates; teach them to demand absolute courtesy In the home, on the street. In fact at all times atjd p'aces. Let the Il'tle glrla and boys play te gcther: it refines the boys and atrcniTthena tho girl, but let their com panionship he under tne rarful obser vation of parent or guardian, not as a sentinel, hut as a loving companion. 'Educate them together, mothers, fathers. and teachers, teaching that careful consideration due one to an other, such conduct as Is becoming from a selfreapectlng, a respect de manding young woman to and from the young men; beginning In the earli est school years, and comprehensive home life. Father and mother the ex ample of such conduct In the home: your children will not only Inherit hut will absorb that superior mental con dition that will easily carry them aaf-s ly over many unseen dangers, unseen because of their very innocence of mind. Teach the boys a greater re spect for girls, slaters, mothers, piny mates, and sweethearts, preparing them for the time when a dear wife will be better, a more loyal wife from thla very dlsposlton to give greatest respect to her In all things, thus laying the foundation for the time when tbelr own little ones come La bless their well regulated home. 1-et us have no more double standard; not by letting down, but by bringing the men up to the standard demanded for women.

When that bsson Is given, learned and practiced, and thla les son must come from woman, I regret to any, then, and only then, will we aee the moral regeneration that we are now beginning to shoulder on to the llitle children In the lime when their minds are not and iihould riot bo.

Quoting from Ulchard J. tlerney, Woodstock College: "Hex hygiene un cerns the eternal dentlny of man, the ra'e of his Immortal soul, as well as his temporal Interests. It Is not mere ly a pedagogical question. In the Inst analysis the question concerns Hie abolition of sexual sin. To this end public teaching of s hygiene to school children Is now advocated. The proposed course Involves two elo ments, tho former s detailed; the lat ter vague and purely naturalistic Th main result aimed at is knowledge. The appeal Is to the wrong faculty, the emphasis In the wrong place. "Information cannot keep a man up right. Knowledge Is not moral pow ir. Precaution to avoid dlseuao, not virtue.
