Even if you won't do this, talk about the cruelties connected
with these performances. Join the Jack London Club now; no dues, no
fees. The Club, in little over three years, secured a membership of over
two hundred thousand and is growing rapidly. Free literature about the
Jack London Club may be obtained. The book by Jack London, "Michael
Brother of Jerry," which deals with this cruelty, is sold at one dollar
per copy.
Laws have been passed in the following states making humane education
compulsory in the public schools: Maine, Washington, California,
Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Idaho, Montana, Texas,
Wyoming, Pennsylvania, Utah, New Hampshire, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Illinois, Alabama, Connecticut, Kentucky, and New York. Many
testimonials have been received from school superintendents and teachers
as to the good results obtained since humane education has been made a
part of the regular school work.
As state after state is passing the law making humane education a part
of the school work, some students may ask why the state is especially
interested in their being taught kindness to all living creatures,--to
the lower animals as well as to human beings. The teacher can mention
the fact that eighty per cent of the criminal class in our jails and
prisons were cruel from childhood, and that it is less expensive for the
state to educate the child in humanity than to support him as a
criminal.
