Knighthood of Youth, the charac- ter buliding program for children between the ages of 6 and 12, which is to be sponsored in Washington e|and nearby Virginia and Maryland s| by The Washington Past, has as its t| basis the tact that man, or @ child, can be just what he desires to be, and possess the character which he most admires and which will gain him the greatest respect from those wih whom he comes in contact. Probably every person who has risen to heights of unusual promin- ence attained his position by habits of self-training along lines similar to those laid out in the Knighthood of Youth. It ts a well-known fact that Benjamin Franklin did, be- cause in his autoblography he Jeaves a record that closely parallels the methods of this juvenile organiza- tion. Franklin early concluded that “the mere speculative conviction that it was our interest to be completely vir- tuous, was not sufficient to prevent our slipping; and that the contrary habits must be broken, and good ones acquired and established, before we can have any dependence on a steady, uniform rectitude of con- youngster could be encouraged to keep such a record of his offenses for the sole pleasure of view~ ing his progress aiong the pach» of rertitude and s0, the young “knights” keep a chart of great simili- tude tm Franklin’s, but have an- ac- ditional mIncentive in the promotiou in rank to which a “clean” card en- tities them. They have an eveo greater interest in “killing” their bad habits because these are pictured for them as “dragons,” while good deeds are enjoyable adventures. Perhaps the dragon of “unclean teeth” is attacking little Johnny— what can a brave little Knight du but get out his toothbrush and slays him? Or little “Lady” Mary objects to going to bed at the appointed time—why that is a glorious adven- ture and by going promptly she may find another “stone” to add to tke “Castle of Knighthood.” Lessons maj offer “dragons” to defeat or the geography lesson may be a ‘crusade” in search of adventure. Possibilities for arousing children's interest are innumerable and boys and girls follow the precepts of their organigation becduse they find pleas- ure in doing so and real delight in IN SCHOOLS LAUDED Scholar Gentlemen and La- dies Urged by Chamber Ed- ucation Chairman. MAKES RADIO ADDRESS Charlies H. LeFevre, chairman of the committee on public schools of the Washington Chamber of Commerce. commended the plans of the Board of Education to foster character tralning in the public schools in his radio ad- dress delivered yesterday from Station WMAL. “The Board of Education,” Mr. Le- Pevre said, “has recently incorporated in the public schools curriculum cer- tain new provisions for mora] teach- ing to train the young for good citi- zenship. The best eitizen is a gentile- man, as wel) as a scholar. If he fails to get the proper réwards for his con- tributions to society, something is fundamentally wrong in our process of education. “It is gratifying to the public schools committee of the Washington Chamber of Commerce to learn that the Board of Education wil) hereafter strive to make scholars gentlemen, for the committee is not concerned alone with school] attendance. proper school ho Sys EO A.
