Modern parents are much to blame
for the present disregard for law or
authority of any kind. The old time
p aren t probably was a little too
strict in the home discipline, but
his children grew up with a full
knowledge of parental authority, and
also with a respect for the authority
of the governm ent in which they
lived. The modern parent as a rule is
lax and in many instances he has no
centred over his children even when
they are small. They begin th eir lives
by having their own way about every
little thing, and soon they reach the
point where they pay no atten tio n
w hatever to the wishes of the parents.
The time to begin training a child to
respect your authority is in th e ir in
fancy. The child who is not obedient
to the laws of his parents will not be
obedient to the laws of his country
when he arrives at m aturity.

Sunday, May 8. is this y e a r desig

the 13th year of official observation
the second Sunday in May having
been set asi«le as M other’s Day by
an act of C«»ngress signed in 1914
by Woodrow Wilson. In it provision
was made for display of flags on
public buildings, as well as the e x

That the i«lea was a welcome on«'
has been proved by the rapid growth
of cerem onies in connection with
the day. Church services on M other’s
