up by the assembly at this morn-j

The committee which had been [

subject be further investigated by I

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.
During the discussion Dr. Well
ington Koo, of the Chinese delega- j
tion, reviewed the efforts made by
China during more than a century!
to suppress the opium habit. He !
recognized he said, the &reat debt of
gfratitude China owed the United
States for America's aid in this
work. He was particularly pleased,'
he said, that the committee had de-:
cided the United States should be
especially invited "to send a repre
sentative to meet with the adivsory
committee.

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

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. I
