When a woman hns borne threesons, guided them through themazes of childhood and boyhood,warned them in time of the rutsand pitfalls that beset their feet,and brought them to young man-hood, whole, strong and clean- —when a woman has done all that,she may be Bald to qualify as anexpert In the science of life.
Ikeep the truth fmni the children.It is unfiiii- to the children. Itsends them into the world handi-rupped by Ignorance of thingswhich they have a right to know."
Mrs. Mason's I'lun.I asked Mrs. Mason by what
method of approach, In her opin-ion, could the general social toneof Tacoma be raised.
"Not by legislation," she re-plied. "You can't make peoplegood with statutes and ordi-nances. Education is the slowest,but surest, way. And educationmust begin with the mothers, whomust be taught that It Is wicked,as well as foolish, to be prudish.
"We must arm the child withknowledge. We must then givehim every reasonable opportunityfor clean play. We want moreplaygrounds. We want a muni-cipal dance hall. The.board haspersuaded the city to take an op-tion on the Dreamland rink,which as a public dance hall wasclosed, on the recommendation ofthe board.
