This paper is the latest installment in a series that is designed to bridge the gap between teaching and practice by developing classroom applications based on a current research article from the American Sociological Review. We discuss the ways in which a recent ASR paper on child care fatalities can be used to help students explore Burawoy's conception of "public" sociology in a manner that is consistent with a subject-centered pedagogical approach. To illustrate this approach, we offer three experiential exercises designed to facilitate the active engagement of students' hearts, as well as their minds, thereby linking our subject-centered approach to the increasingly popular notion of character education.

• In light of the heavy mortality rate and the high number of new cases, the "most drastic closing orders" are expected to be put into place by the health authorities to stop the spread of Spanish influenza in Portland. • New rules include the closure of stores for at least part of the day, added restrictions on streetcar travel, and the "absolute enforcement of all new and old regulations." Health authorities make an "earnest" plea for public's "co-operation with the spirit of the order."• Mayor Baker: "Yesterday's reports show the epidemic to be growing worse. Conditions warrant a revision of the regulations, and that they will be more stringent goes without saying. Present rules have been disregarded. We are going to make some arrests shortly—not warnings. Yesterday afternoon a special squad of officers was out to make arrests in cases of infractions. Today we shall have 50 [?] members of the military police to assist the city department. But rules will do no good without hearty co-operation of all the people. There seems to be a general belief that I am making these orders for my own special delight. Because only about one person in 100 has been afflicted thus far, that is no sign the 99 will be immune. Instead they should be doing all they can to stamp out the influenza and restore normal conditions."• Dr. Parrish recommends that people be inoculated against influenza. He advocates that it is a good way to limit the severity of an attack, if not prevent an attack altogether. • Dr. Parrish: "Probably less than 30,000 persons of our 300,000 population have availed themselves of the opportunity to establish a certain immunity against the influenza. While it is admitted that the serum is not an established success as a preventative, to date seem to indicate strongly that it has helped to a marked degree. If anyone does not know a doctor who will administer the serum, let them call up the health bureau and we will give them names of doctors who will do it and not charge more than $1."• Reports from throughout OR yesterday were "discouraging."• The epidemic is starting to overtake southeastern OR even though many homes are several miles apart.• Only three deaths were reported at the Auditorium emergency hospital within the past twenty-four hours.
