One tide of the ocean dues not

constantly flowing over the shore

To this title Is likened the con
stant efforts of humane individuals
and organizations throughout the
country. All endeavoring by the
dissemination of humane education
literature, by tho efforts of their
officials, missionaries, and ot h.T
workers, to educate the citizens of
these Culled States, to a larger un
derstanding of their duty toward
all helpless creaturos.
There Is an Increase of interest
throughout educational circles.
.More hooks are written containing
humane sentiments. There arc more
slorles for children which aim 'o
inculcate kindness. More powerful
sermons preached each year dnr
IpK "10 kind to animals week." as
well as at othrr times during the
year. These sermons often reach j
not only the congregations in he 1
churche where they are given, but
many are broadcasted by radio. ,
thereby reaching thousands of per-J
sons throughout the country win
are "listening In." How can crime
withstand the increasing knowledge
Inculcated in the mind of the lis
tening public whether In schools,
halls, churches or on the air?
We depend upon our proa r he's
as well as upon our educators,
authors and other writers: In fact,
the press is one of our most power
ful allies In reaching the public and
arousing Interest, so that the rising
t Ide of decency, kindness and
mercy will eventually fill the minds
of those who como under this In
fluence. ll is the aim of our schoolH to
turn out good citizens. A most
compelling force in achieving this
aim is to eHlablish as a regulir
part of the school curriculum the
teaching of kindness and Justice to
all living creatures klndnens to
animals as well as to our fellow
men. Crime, which has Its foundation
In cruelty, has been defined as a
disregard of the rights and happi
ness of other creatures. The mnU
dangerous and cruel criminals are
often those of superior education.
but they have educated Ihe hejd
ami neglected ihe heart. Knowl
edge gives power, but the Inculca
tion of kindness In everyday teach
ing, ennobles nnd raises the stu
dent's standard, of morals. Such
leaching helps prevent criminal
tendencies from arising In the mind
of youth. So it follows thai we
must educate (lie heart as well J.s
the head In order to decrease by n
rising title of humaneness, the ten
dencies to crime of the thoughtless,
erue ami uninformed. Our hope
Is that the Hit-called "crime wave"
will be engulfed by the rising lido
of humane education . throughout
Ibis country and the world.
