Newport Republican : "Anarch ists are coining out of the public schools , " declared Principal Camp bell of the Wentwort sceool at the , meeting of .the George Howland ' slub on Saturday. His words laturally caused astonishment , and ae hastened to explain that not the teaching of the schools , but the ittitude of many parents toward jliem , put the children in danger ) f becoming anarchists. ' 'When a body of pupils is per- nitted , " he said by way of illus- iration , "to go into a school and iy that one of their teachers must act ride on street cars run by non- mien men during a strike , and be iustained in their demands , I say fc is anarchy. It is anarchy. It s an utterly lawless obstruction of public business and a defiance of awful authority. No matter what ; he rights or wrongs of a labor Impute , they arc no concen of the ublic schools , their teachers as uch , or their pupils. Parents vho permit or encourage their children to behave lawlessly to- , vard their teachers must not be surprised if those children behave awlessly out of school. Such jhildren are probably the product ) f homes governed according to ; he modern delusion ; that a child must be only persuaded to do right ind never compelled. Thus brought n in ignorance that there is any f rce in the world entitled to its Dbedience , regardless of its pcr- 5r nal wishes , such children go on from one lawless act to another , ind only too often become rebels uainst society and the state that is , criminals and even murderers. The prevalence of youthful crime which now so perplexes great cit ies is not the fault of the schools , Dr the courts , or 'of the social or- [ jinization as a whole. It has root L i those homes which are without positive parental authority. The home is the foundation of civiliza tion. From it all the good of civ ilization springs , and also all the evil. Every criminal is essential- Iv an anarchist , whose anarchy be gins in the home without law.
