THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 15, 1925 THE PREVENTION OF CRIME . f ' (Copyright, 1925, by San Jose Mercury) TUDGE PAWCETT of New York, who hn. W 1 J ; bench and had more than 4000 young men less than 21 years old before him charged with crime, is quoted by the New York Herald Tribune as declaring that "Regular attendance upon Sunday school during the period of character formation would caijse thp criminal courts and jails to close, for there would be no raw!' material to work upon." He says that of the more than 4000 young men who came before him charged with crime only three were members of a Sunday school.at the time of the com mission of their crjmes.,, "In view of this significant showing I do not hesitate to express the conviction that attendance "by young men at Sunday school or other regular! religious work. With its refining atmosphere, is signally preventive of crime and worthy Kof r careful study by those who are dismayed by the in , crease of crime on the part of the young men of America." 1 This ljudge further declares: "In 1902 suspended criminal sentences, only 62 of the young men were brought back for viola tion of the conditions of their paroles. In each suspended sen tence case I insisted upon the return of the youth, if he was a Protestant, to a Sunday school, cf a Roman Catholic, to attend ances at mass, and, if a Jew, to attendance at a synagogue or a temple In each instance I had the earnest co-opertion of the minister, the priest or the rabbi." "Jn virtually all of the sus pended sentence cases the reform was quick and, I believe, per manent.", V;: ; ; -: , t : Judge Fawcett's statement certainly demands very careful and respectful consideration by every person who is .seeking a remedy for the alarming increase in crime among the youths of this country .He does not go into any extended explanation of the reasons why attendance at Sunday school and church has the effect of controlling the criminal impulses of J the young. He does declare, however, that " The sustained, wholesome, moral atmosphere imparted through habitual attendance upon Sunday Sunday school and church, will expel criminal impulses. " ' Some allowance must of course be made for the fact that as a rule the parents of the youth who attend Sunday school and church are members of some religious congregation and must, therefore, generally be counted among the better elements of th commum ity in which thy live. Children of such parents, too, will have constant home, relictions and moral traininc whirh is mnro at. tainly effective than even that received in Sunday school and church. "While these considerations may modify the judge 's statement they do not wholly negative it. i In this age the importance of religious training and develop ment is much too often, overlooked by, those who are honestly striving to find solutions for our social and moral problems. All men have a natural, physical, animal nature which, especially in the young, is generally the strongest part of them. If allowed to follow the promptings o2 his natural, animal instincts and de sires nearly every child would develop criminal impulses. These instincts and desires must be repressed and their gratification denied, because their "repeated gratification strengthens them until they become so strong and so large a part of the life of the child that they completely dominate the will, and a criminal and evil life is the result. ) But repression is not all that is necessary. While his mind is yet plastic and his character in the formative state the child must be given correct ideals and have aroused within him a higher ambition than the mere gratification of his physical na ture. Every child's mind must and will be active, and if some thing wholesome and good is not provided to absorb the thoughts and engage the energies, evil and debasing thoughts are bound to fill the mind and find expression in acts of the daily life. Re ligious and moral instruction in Sunday school, church and home are most essential, but these may well be supplemented by healthy and wholesome sports, good books, not trash or wors.e. and good examples by. parents, teachers 'and associates. In fact, with childfPtTaswitbf grownmeti-a adults are only older children, the only way to surely and per manently destroy the action of the lower, baser or criminal ele ments in them is to cultivate arid strengthen the higher, purer, diviner elements which are in every human being in germ, and -. - - t . i iM A - J I J (IW?ln Monday we shall have ready a matter of fifty Chocolate Sets to sell at an astonishing price ;' J The sets are of fine thin china made in Japan and decorated with hand painted scenes from the Land of the Mikado.

A. C. cam pas to accommodate the active part Oregon heroes played in the Spanish-American and World wars. The building will tower 180 feet high and will be 200x2 00 feet. The building materials used will be such as to blend with the present campus architecture and yet be distinctive. The building will house all stu dent and alumni activities and organizations. , More ithan half of the total $500,000 needed for construe tion is now raised, -j The O. A. C. Memorial union campaign to provide $500,000 needed to construct a building which will be a permanent mem orial to the college and state he roes of the Spanish-American and World wars and to house all stu dent and alumni activities on the OAC campus, has been completed among students and is moving intoT different districts of the state where alumni and friends of the college are located. ? i More than half : of the sum needed was raised on the campus in an intensive drive' of a week. Inspired by the record of OAC and Oregon heroes in th8 war, the undergraduates i and faculty of the college pledgetjL more than half of the total in. three days. President W. J. Kerr, who was seriously ill at the time, sent in his pledge of $1000 on the second day of the drive. Alumni in Port land have responded with more than $25,000 and the campaign is now reaching into the smaller cities and communities of the state. ; The great Memorial union pro ject will seek to draw together the four component parts of the col lege: students, alumni, faculty and friends. It will be a great gathering place for college inter ests, a magnet to attract students and alumni in all walks of life and a melting pot to create a col lege democracy, say . those in charge. ' - - , Loyalty of individual .students and aJumni-wharmortgagediXheir future earning power to help pay back to their alma mater part of the training received, gave an im petus to the campaign that makes the total objective assured, accord ing to campaign leaders. One freshman student from California pledged $1000 to the cause and many contributions of $250 and more were received. More than $325,000 of the total is now subscribed and construc tion on the building will begin In the late summer of 1925 and will be completed by the fall term of 1926, according to present plans. Alumni are organized, not only in Oregon but in Washington, Cali fornia, Hawaii, and many eastern states where former students are located. I The building .will have rooms for student . activities, faculty meetings, assembly halls for large gatherings, trophy rooms where athletic awards of the Varsity "O" association may be perman ently kept, shop rooms for the building of campus dramatic pro ductions and many other types of rooms. Ail the student publica tions will be housed in the new building which will be a big ad vancement of the old inadequate system of publication offices scat tered over the entire campus. "The MeriTorial union building will release much needed class room in the buildings provided by the state," said E. B. Lemon, registrar. "College life is highly organized and many of the stu dent groups require accommoda tions which are needed for instruc tional purposed. The Memorial union building is being built without'eost to the state, which Is an important feature in Oregon's eaucationar program." Of much interest to students and faculty is the plan for the theater In the building, says the governing committee. One thou sand persons will be tseated'In the well-appointed theater where campus productions, lyceum num bers and other forms of enter tainment may be given for the campus from time to time. A pipe-organ will be Installed in the theater which will adjoin an im mense rotunda where student and alumni gatherings may be ar ranged. . I Since the announcement that a class B. 5 00-watt broadcasting station will be installed at OAC an effort is being made to tie up the activities of the Memorial union with this feature. The col lege is host to many speakers of national repute and authorities on educational, scientific and econ omic subjects. In addition the lyceum numbers bring artists of International fame to the campus.' In the past few years such sing ers as Geraldine Farrar and Mad ame Schumann-Heink; Mischa Elman and Erna Rubenstein, vio linists, and many others have been entertainers on the campus. The high-powered broadcasting station will make their artistry available to the entire state. ; A massive entrance to the building will lead into the main lobby to be called "Memorial Hall." Finest examples of art and sculpture will decorate the hallway. Leading back from it will be the rotunda, where alum ni gatherings wilt often be held and where from 500 to 800 per sons may be served at special ban quets and luncheons for which the college tea room is inadequate. A cafeteria for students and fa culty is another feature planned for the new building, which is ex pected to be ready for the use of the campus one year, from next falL as these become active they control, absorb and destroy the low er nature as naturally as the light of the sun dispels the darkness and chill of the night. The younpr man, who is filled with am bition, to attain success in some useful and honorable calling and who -has been made to know that the attainment of a strong and pure character is the first essential condition of his success, will soon have developed a strength that will enable him to success fully resist the temptation to dissipation and sin. v ;';. But the man or woman who has come to maturity, or even has passed the meridian of life, without having developed an upright and pure character or any of the spiritual or Christian graces, whose life is a failure, need not despair. : A germ of the heaven ly Father's life' which we call the soul is in him just as certainly as in the greatest, strongest, most perfect human being in the world. The way out of his suffering and failure, the way to real success and happiness, is through the development of this divine germ, this soul. Let him feed and mature this by prayer and aspiration, by-catehing the spirit of the Scriptures, by religious exercises and services, by good and unselfish deeds to men, by pure and holy thoughts and desires, by resistance of evil, and happiness and success are the certain and inevitable results. One of the greatest and most successful men in this country, when asked by an ambitious young man if it were possible for him to attain large success, answered, "Young man, I do not have to tell you what to do to make a success of yourself. You know as well as I do. If from this day on you will do all the things you know you should do and refrain from doing all the things you know you should not do, success will come to you ar surely as day follows night." - : .

A rune stone at Boeksta, not far from here, shows a picture of a ski. runner and it is probable that long before they knew how to. write runes the Swedes learned the art of skiing from the nomadic Lapp4,"aodFJnns.' ? Prof. "Fxlesea ' says : that In the sixth century southern European writers de scribed hunters In Sweden whi were able to glide through tht forest at high speed. The rune, stone, which dates from the mid die of the eleventh century, prove that ski running was then com mon in Sweden. When brakes, tongues and mor als are loose, hell is.
