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.
