CHILD SHOULD NOT BE FORCED Hartington Man Says Crim inals Made by Compelling School Attendance Hartington, Neb., espe cial)— Forcing children who have no taste for high school training, to re main in schools, is responsible for crime according to Dr. J. M. John son, Hartington surgeon. Such children are going to ex plode’ some time, Dr. Johnson says, declaring, “We are forcing our chil dren to put something in their brains that they are not fit to carry. They become murderers, thieves, sex per verts, psychopaths of some sort, just because they are out of their place. The individual child is not to blame. It is his training.” T i in nrtt t urn 1 for n V»Atr f A AAtYl _ ■*» - v - — -'•J - mit crime for the sake of getting easy money according to the doctor. The boy who makes a»good carpenter, likes carpenter work, is easily led to shiftlessness when the work is taken away from him and he is forced to pore over books for which he has no taste. The youth who is forming habits to carry through life, loses interest, in such a case, and becomes more interested in discovering methods of avoiding studying at school than in getting his lessons. As an easy means of “getting by” he starts cheating and it is not long before his esteem for honesty is lowered. After four years of this, he goes out into the world with “getting by" his leading principle. "When America’s boys learn to roll up their shirt sleeves and get to work, you:'g murderers will less frequently commit their crimes for the sake of some easy money and atrocities such as now darken the names of our youths will decrease, instead of in eroase,” Dr. Johnson believes. ^ “It must be understood, however, er knowledge, the one who craves it, is not forced into taking it. can stand tt j mental test. But the boy or girl, who is forced to go to school, is be- ‘ ing done an injustice and what might have been a good and useful citizen becomes a handicap not only tot himself but to society about him.” REAL PIONEERS OF WAYNE MEET AT OLD COUNTY SEAT, Wayne, Neb., -The La Porte Community club observed pio neer’s day by entertaining early resi dents who were in Wayne county in 1870 or before.
