THE INTEREST OF CHILDREN
Our Woman’s Christian Temper
ance Union has the child’s welfare
upon its mind and heart, for the
highest civic development of a state
depends upon the right sort of train
ing for every child within its bounds.
In schools formerly all children
were treated alike, no matter how
different their mental capacity, but
now all should receive training ac
cording to their needs. We have
many reasons to be grateful that our
state laws are being made more pro
gressive for the child’s mental, phy
sical and spiritual life. Avery
grave responsibility is upon parents
and teachers as to what is best for
children.
Often malnutrition is the cause of
poor lessons and bad behavior, also
unrelieved eye strain, and general de
bility. Physical fitness for their
work is very necessary, often a phy
sician should be consulted. The
child in the midst has always solicited
interest from every human heart, for
if our blessed Saviour had time and
love to take little children in his
arms and bless them, we as his ex
emplars, should do everything possi
ble for their future welfare.
The three great factors that are
the making or ruining of the child
are the parents and the school teach
er. The mother’s love and influence
over her child should be as pure and
beautiful as the morning light that
sheds its glory upon all the earth.
The father’s heart should abound in
strength and joy and gladness as the
noon-day sun whose rays of light and
life luminate the pathway of all man
kind.
The teacher should know God and
feel the great responsibility of train
ing an immortal soul.
Abraham Lincoln says: “Let rev
erence for the laws be breathed by
every American mother to the lisping
babe that prattles on her lap; let it
be taught in schools, in seminaries
and colleges.” Laws can not make
the race perfect, but improvement
must start with the generation at
the mother’s knee.
All children deserve to be well
born and well trained, for their life
in this world and their eternal life.
To train the mind, heart and soul of
an immortal soul is the herculean
task given to parents, and their utter
failures are seen each day.
The waves of crime that we face
every day are the product of a wicked
home, where evil and sin rule su
preme. May the power of God teach
men and women the true and lasting
need of the child.
According to a statement of Burr
Blackburn, secretary of the State
Board of Public Welfare, the last
session of our Georgia legislature was
not a failure in respect to social
legislation. “The child placement
and children’s code commission” bills
will do great good. We rejoice that
the child will receive more attention
by the state and in church and school,
by the proper training, and the next
generation will be better prepared
for life and death than the former
generation.

ANTI-RAT CAMPAIGN
Lamar County Urged to Exterminate
the Pe*t.
The Barnesville Civic League is al
ways thinking and' planning for the
benefit and progress of our city and
county. During our August meet
ing, along with thoughts of sanita
tion, “a rat-killing campaign” was
suggested and agreed upon, and we
have asked our city fathers and all
other organizations, and each indi
vidual that lives in Lamar county, to
join this campaign and win in the
extermination of all rat-kind.
First, for health’s sake, and saving
of life, for sometimes a slight bite
will produce blood poison and death.
Second, for mercernary reasons,
the saving of millions of dollars now
destroyed by them.
Words of praise and commenda
tion are due those who made it pos
sible to raise and sell the great num
ber of chickens this year in Lamar
county. By beginning the rat-kill
ing now, the saving of corn, wheat
and oats will easily raise twice the
number of chickens and the saving
of many chickens, which this year
were destroyed by rats. Please join
in at once the “rat-killing campaign,”
for each individual’s premises must
be made clear of rats.
Write to United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.,
for Farmers Bulletins, Nos. 369 and
897, which will give you all informa
tion that you will need. Write a pos
tal card for Bulletins and learn the
many ways for their certain death.
The following are a few facts sent
out by the government.
The rat is the worst animal pest
in the world.
From its home among filth it visits
dwellings and storerooms to pollute
and destroy human food.
It carries bubonic plague and many
other diseases fatal to man and has
been responsible for more untimely
deaths among human beings than all
the wars of history.
In the United States rats and mice
each year destroy crops and other
property valued at over $200,000,000.
This destruction is equivalent to
the gross earnings of an army of
over 200,000 men.
On many a farm, if the grain eaten
and wasted by rats and mice could
be sold, the proceeds would more than
pay all the farmer’s taxes.
The common brown rat breeds 6
to 10 times a year and produces an
average of 10 young at a litter.
Young females breed when only three
or four months old.
At this rate a pair of rats, breed
ing uninterruptedly and without
deaths, would at the end of three
years (18 generations) be increased
to 359,709,482 individuals.
For centuries the world has been
fighting rats without organization
and at the same time has been feed
ing them and building for them fort
resses for concealment. If we are
to fight them on equal terms we must
deny them food and hiding places.
We must organize and unite to rid
communities of these pests. The
time to begin is now.
Important Repressive Measure*
The measures needed for repress
ing and eliminating rats and mice in
clude the following:
1. The requirement that all new
buildings erected shall be made rat
proof under competent inspection.
2. That all existing rat-proof
buildings shall be closed against rats
and mice by having all openings ac
cessible to the animals, from foun
dation to roof, closed or screened by
door, window, grating or meshed wire
netting.
3. That all buildings not of rat
proof construction shall be made so
by remodeling, by the use of ma
terials that may not be pierced by
rats, or by elevation.
4. The protection of our native
hawks, owls and smaller predatory
mammals —the natural enemies of
rats.
5. Greater cleanliness about mar
kets, grocery stores, warehouses,
courts, alleys, stables and vacant lots
in cities and villages, and like care
on farms and suburban premises.
This includes the storage of waste
and garbage in tightly covered ves
sels and the prompt disposal of it
each day.
6. Care in the constructiop of
drains and sewers, so as not to pro
vide entrance and retreat for rats.
Old brick sewers in cities should be
replaced by concrete or tile.
7. The early threshing and mar
keting of grains on farms, so that
stacks and mows shall not furnish
harborage and food for rats.
8. Removal of outlying straw
stacks and piles of trash or lumber
that harbor rats in fields and vacant
lots.
9. The keeping of provisions,
seed, grain and foodstuffs in rat
proof .containers. .„.,
10. Keeping effective rat dogs,
especially on farms and in city ware
houses. .
11. The sytematic destruction of
rats, whenever and wherever possi-
