W. C. T. U, HOLDS
ANNUAL MEETING
Local Organization Holds Out
door Meeting at Paxtang
Park
Members of the Harrisburg W. C.
T. U. held their annual outing at
Paxtang Park to-day. A specially fine
out of doors meeting was held this af
ternoon im the theater of the park
with Mrs. W. H. Cooper county super
intendent of the open air meetings
presiding, and Mrs. Violet Hollar Bol
lan, Mrs. John De Gray, Mrs. Harry
Leonard, Mrs. Charles King and Le
ray Bowers Harnish as participants
in the program. Mr. Harnish, the
principal speaker of the afternoon and
State superintendent of the Pennsyl
vania Federation, took as the subject
of his address, "Leper Spots,"
in which he describes the
work of World's Purity Fed
eration in overcoming the white slave
traffic . In an Inimitable and eloquent
speech he plead for sex instruction and
an uncompromising attitude against
this terrible and systematized crime.
Mr. Harnish said, in part:
"The World's Purity Federation and
the committee out of which it grew
have been at work since 1900, and
represents the first real organized ef
fort in North America, In a national
and international sr>nse, for the eradi
cation of the traffic in women, the
white slave traffic, the annihilation of
public vice, for a. higher and single
standard of morals, and the safe and
sane instruction of our young in so
cial hygiene.
The slogan of the World's Purity
Federation is that, "The white slave
traffic and public vice can and must
be annihilated."
The federation employs three meth
ods of attack on this problem: Edu
cation, law enactment and enforce
ment, and remedial work.
By means of education the feder
ation aims to have the parents teach
the child sex truths properly before
he is taught the vile and uglv espects
of these truths by his ill-taught com
panions. It aims to have the State
provide a man and a woman to teach
these truths to the parents of the next
generation, now in the colleges, nor
mal N schools, and academies, they
bring the instruction down into the
high schools as soon as the public is
willing to sympathize and co-operate
with such a plan.
The principal cause is the double
standard of morals. The boy must 1
not see a fallen woman ostracised and
a man whom he knows to be immoral
admitted to the hearthstone, invited
to tea, allowed to take the daughter
to the theater and finally marry her.
Such conduct on the part of the par
ents says to the boy, "You can be
and may do just as you please, but
your sister must be as pure as an
angel."
Another cause is dress. Would that
parents would see to it that their chil
dren were properly dressed. The good
and virtuous girls and women are not
different in appearance than that
great cosmopolitan company of those
gone wrong. Many good and virtuous
girls and women are accosted for
denizens of the underworld because of
the similarity of their dress, paint,
and earrings.
The child does not know the pitfalls
and dangers, because of lack of sex
instruction. Toung girls who dance at
home are attracted by the great white
way, the blazing lights, gaiety, and
apparent happiness of the immoral
dance halls, which in many instances
lead to the girls' downfall. At dances
given by lodges, charity halls, literary
societies and National Guard fairs,
the speaker has seen the modern
dance danced in that same indescent,
ill-positioned, sin-tempting way to hell
through the door of the dance.
The man who believes in a segre
gated district, let him invite the dis
trict to be placed next door to his
home, rather than in the slums among
the poor people of the city. Any man
who favors segregation is one of three
things: he is ignorant, misinformed,
or vicious. What right has anv man
to say whose sister shall be compelled
to live that life? Now then let us show
