Under the International Opium Convention signed in 1912, the Uni ted States being among the signa tories various duties devolved upon the Dutch government. Among the provisos was one that the contract ing powers should communicate with one another regarding various facts connected with the subject J through the Dutch minister of for-' eign affairs. The ratification ma-j chiriery also was placed in the hands J of the Netherlands foreign office.; The committee report mentioned j the difficulty resulting from the ab- j sence 01 me umucu otatco auu uv?-. many from the League and sugges-j ted that if these governments could not forward their information to1 the League they might continue toj communicate with Holland on the, subject.

Carolina HARDING PLEADS FOR PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS FOR CHILD TRAINING (Continued from Page One) liberal public' thought in and out of congress with reference to crystaliz ing it into legislative acomplishment and have found them eager to help in the constructive task. "Its acomplishment will tardily place our government on something like an equal footing in recognition of this set of problems with govern ments which have long maintained ministers of education represented in their cabinets. While my own ideal envisages a broader scope for the welfare, it is interesting to know that its creation will for the first time place this great _ work on a pnase 01 dignity comparaDie to mat given in many countries. Opportunity of Mothers. "Whether we may esteem it wise or unwise, the modern-mother must realize that socipty disposes more and more to take from her control the training, the intellectual direction | and the spiritual guidance of her children. We may well plead with the mothers to make the most, for good of the lessened opportunity tKey possess fbr molding the lives and minds of their children. Through such *cooperative effort as this, it seems to me there is opportunity for a great service, nerein iSs presented the opportunity to lift up the poorer and the less fortunate to a higher lever. ' "The mother who indefatigably seeks to train her own children right ly will be performing this service not only for her own children, but for those "from other homes not so richly blessed with the finer things" of life. I confess to no great satis faction in the good fortune of those families which when they become suf ficiently well to do so. like to take ] their children away from the public schools and give them the doubtful advantage of more exclusive educa tional processes.. I like the democ:j racy of the community school and in deed I would like to see a greater! measure of it enforced in the public j schools by the elimination of those, evidences of extravagance in dress j and social indulgence which make for the development of something like caste within our democracy. "On the other side of the teacher, and the responsible authorities back of her, there must be the same ready disposition to cooperate with the home and the mother. Our public school system leaves to the home and its influence the great duty of in stilling into the child those funda mental concepts of religion which are' so essential in shaping the character of individual citizens and, therefore, qf. the nation. TJiat duty remains to nAvf Amvi of fV?A Una A a a n rl UC jpviiviuigu a w Wilt utai wijiul unu will always be the peculiarly pre rogative of the mother. I could wish indeed that our nation might have a revival of religious spirit along these lines. There never was a time when the world stood in more need than it does now of the consolations and re assurances which only a firm reli gious faith can have. It is a "time of uncertainty, of weakened faith in the efficiency of institutions of industrial systems, of economic hypothesis, of dictum and dogma. "Whatever our real thoughts let not our engrossment with those thoughts which are concerned merely with matter and mind distract us from proper attention to those which are of the spirit and the soul. It has been demonstrated to astonish ing and alarming certainty that a large proportion of school children and even of adults suffer from under nourishment. Perhaps in the case of most adults, the fault is of the indi vidual rather than society. With children, however, it is otherwise. If | society has permitted the develop j ment of a system under which the | citizens of tomorrow suffffer real pri j vation today, then the obligation is upon society to right that wrong, to j insure some measure of justice to the children who are nSt responsible for being here. Not for AH Hit. "I am not of those who believe legislation can find panaceas for all ills, but on the other hand I am no; of those who fear to undertake, through legislation the formulation of new programs. "I firmly believe that our country, along with others that claim a share in the world's leadership, has lately achieved one victory in behalf of a better understanding and more in telligent grasp of these problems.
