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

Perspective of OAC Memorial Union Building for Which Funds Are
Being Raised Among Students, Alumni and College Friends
i v i l4: r -
The accompanying ci rtiustratea trie massive size of the proposed building to be on the O. 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." - : .

sent to the Senate in th, face of
objection from the Republican
members of Congees from Mich

view that the appointment of a

most one-tenth of the entries were
Alsatians. The interest in them
beginning after the war has in
creased with unexampled rapidity,
until the Alsatian has become the
most popular of all show dogs in
Great Uritain.
Each year the proportion of
women exhibitors increases. Most
of the kennels scattered over the
country are nowadays in feminine
care.
The men, however, still are In
the majority among the owners of
sporting dogs. This year, with
King George among the exhibitors,
the Labradors seem the most
popular of all retrievers. Their
emooth coats far outnumber the
wavy-haired type of hunting dog.
Sportsmen regard them highly,
not only because of their surpass
ing hunting qualities, but with
due regard for their good looks,
docile disposition, intelligence and
affectionate ways. They are both
faithful companions and trust
worthy guards. -;
Swedes Have Used Skis
Since Sixth Century
UPCALA, Sweden, March 14
Sweden ski running is at least 14
centuries old and probably date3
back to prehistoric times, accord
ing to Prof. Otto von Friesen of
the University of Upsala. 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.

als are loose, hell is.
