Fairchild, of WiasbiugUih, and as&o
ribbed wri.h him are the l oiuml^ion
or* and sajlen Mend ent* of education
in the vsM'ioua Ratios.
So convinced rs Fairchild in the
importance of this new form of edu
cating uhc yt>i>t.h of America that he
favors the decreasing of some of the
trf-mie .given in Rbe public scbOOftS to
other stnidies in order that oppor
tunity limy be given for the " build
itMg of character."
OiolMgi1 i^teioi
Referring to a rewmi slfatement by
PresidlPni Cool dge that a "diwpoei
tlon 'tx* do right" must be combined
wich intelligence in the development
of the Amertaam educational system,
i Fairchild, in an interview, said:
"The ’disposition to do right’ ran
romte ««idy through the development
and strengthening of the character
ot our people.
“The. expense of effective educa
tion in our schools c..in he r.overred by
money saved from the crime ex
p**nees of this nail ion and from t/he
losses sustained from weakness of
character which results In industrial
it.efficiency. The gain to general
happiness wiJl he beyond money.
"Oviercrowding of the curriculum
can he prevented l>y taking out
enough time from history. gnogTn
phy and mathematics to make room
ft r rfraraater education.”
Anonymous Doner
The ItrstiTmlun of which Mr. Finn
rliiild is the chairman. was organized
tHrouglh the generosity of an anony
mous business man. who gave a prize
cT $5.0 00 for the "best cli’fldren's
cixle of moTals." Persons in every
St-.fe competed for the prize, which
was won by Prof. William J. Tfutch
i;rs. of Oberlin College. Ohio. This
morality code ha/s beom distributed
throughout the United Stales and
translated into other langna.ges for
dissemination in foreign countries.
It starnd'S today. according to chair
man Fairchild, "as probably the fin -
♦«st and most useful code of morals
t( r children ever written.”
Another $20,000 prize* for the best
"piibUc school method of character
education" resulted in the accept
ance. of tihr* "Iowa plan." drafted by
a committee beaded by Dr. Edwin D.
Starbuck. of the University of Iowa.
"The Iowa plan." said Mr. Fair
child, "is generally considered to he
the most advanced and beat-thought

youth that has ever been presented,
a;d it has mot with universal Inter- ,

Hut while Mrs. Griswold Insists j
1 the 'proiiKrsltion should b*‘ a fifty-fifty ’
affair, with sons and daughters ini
turn showing love, respect and con- 1
dd^ation. it is safe to deduce that j
these acts will follow the. natural !
course of least resistance If the mo- .
rheins?in-haw abid«* by th<* above-|
mentioned rules.
The “tvvolt” now in progress had
it.-, inception in Poston, when* the
, luttulquart-- ax of the .issoeiation are
located, but Mrs. Grisv/old’s cam
paign will take, her from that nirtt
i ropolls to the principle cities of the
' « r unibry. Emancipation here, of
j course. will be t.he incentive for slm
i ‘ii-r 'revolutionary activities in for
jei'PD countries—or isn’t mothers-in
law the “goait" in any country other
than tihe United States?
Members Wanted
Not later than next year the asso
ciation hopes to ihave a membership
in every State in t.he Union and then
to petition State lyogialatures to es
tablish June 15 as * Mothers-in-Law
Day, and in some way curb funsters
from trying to be funny at their ex
pense. Congress will not be appeal
ed to, one member of the campaign
party said, for it is the association’s
purpose to have the present genera
tion of mothers-in-law profit by any
favorable legislation enacted. < Mo- ,
thers-in-law can be punsters, too), i
And—would you believe it?—this
latest cataclysm of modernity is at- j
tributed to the nmtbter-in-law of :
President Coolidge. Mrs. Lemira A. 1
Goodhue, who said: “I should like]
to see a National Mothers-in-law Day j
instituted." and to one George Mlt- ]
oBiolI* who alleged: “No man may j
find domestic happiness unless he i
have a capacity for loving three wo-1
mon-rcfeis mother, fcia wife and his I
mother-in-law.”
