. Personal Purity Should

Address delivered by Mr. Ada Wal
lace Unruh or Portland before the na
tional convention of the W. C. T, 17. re
cently held in Philadelphia:
When I. a veritable .child of the
, great wet. flretf visited the New Eng
land east. 4he old homea were a matter
of constant Interest. . To hear one apeak
t in a matter-of-fact way of one'a anoes
tore having lived In one house for oentu-
lie seemed astounding to a woman from
a aectlon -- where. .Semantha-llk. I the
,. roots of affection are torn up ever and
anon and transplanted.' Butas I etud
ted more and more these ancestral homea
I became convinced that the builders did
i . not expect their deeoendanta to occupy
. the houses "their hands had built, as in
nesily every ease lha-tBjifngwallynd
.sinking floors cave evidence of unstable
foundations. I often recalled the pio
' tures I bad seen and the description X
. had read of the old-world heme homea
which belong to families Instead of In
"dividual, and which were Mpeoted to
pass from father to son-through the cen-
tunes. Tn solid, deep rounoation ana
massive alone walla apok not so muob
of wealth a of a faith in building for
the aenerationa to coma
"Last year near the ttttla village f
New Smyrna. Fla., I visited the weii-
preserved ruin of a mission house sup
1 posed to Uv bni built In 1UI. The
' vandal hand of man more even than the

Dear7 teachers. It I of comparatively

little Importance a to -how - mahy-ttn ur It mu ever remain a irum out

tremendous Importance as to how many

alone aa of imminent value,
7 "That the chool la "not measuring up
to Its full opportunity! every thoughtful
teacher must acknowledge, but how to
reach the Ideal 1 the problem that we
; fart br night and by day. ..Thar are
many difficulties - to overcome, - many
.problem to olv, but I am ready to
assert that purity h thought, word and
deed la th one principle that we need
' most to Inculcate, to - Insure atrong
alcharacter In the future men and women..
Do not. I pray you. say tnai.inis in a
matter of too great delicacy to admit of
dlacuwlon In tho school.. This problem
must be solved In the school room If
adequately, solved at all. Evan though
all mothers could and would teach these
solemn truth there wtruia yet pm neea
for the , strong, clear, - authoritative
teaching of the school to complete th
work, v But' not' many mother can or
will teach the vital truth; hence the
teacher must. It I doubtless far easier
to teaCh mathematloa to a child when
the mother is an expert assistant, but
few! mother are suca. Your school
rooms are filled With children, tho large
clear, definite Instruction on th ob
ject of personal purity. 'A .a conae
quenc every school room ha 'on or
more children who are a positive mental
and moral contagion, and tba uninformed
mind of a mas of th rest are fertile
soli In which to plant th germs of im
purity. Unless -you -sweetly and osur
aaeously undertake the task of teach-
ins these truth many ' live -will be-
shipwrecked for the lack of such In
structlon and the home for all time
to com mustTbear the burden."
