Money expend
ed In the con
servation of the
~ child will
save money
now spent in combating conditions
caused by the neglect of the proper
authorities to provide instruction
for those whose duty it Is to care
for the children.
The home is the basis of society,
and no civic, social or physical bet
terment can be reached except
through intelligent, purposeful effort
to raise the standards of home life, of
marriage and its duties, or fatherhood
and motherhood, and of citizenship.
The God-given function of parenthood
is the highest, most far-reaching duty
of humanity, and the permanence and
sacredness of marriage is the founda
tion of society.
All students of social conditions
seeking the cause of crime and dis
ease, trace them to Inefficient homes.
Money and infinite labor are expended
on charity, on the care .-f defective,
dependent and delinquent children, on
hospitals, reformatory-, orphan asy
lums and prisons. Practically nothing
is done to remove the causes which
lie far back of the conditions, and
which are largely preventable.
Monies are inefficient because there
is nothing in our present educational
system to fit young people for wise
home-makers. intelligent parents,
broad-minded, public spirited citizens.
There is no provision by which young
parents may procure the knowledge
that is vital for the protection of the
life and development of the minds and
souls of the children committed to
their care. Instinct does not make
parents any more than it makes wise
specialists in any other branch of
work.
The National Congress of Mothers,
from whose declaration of principles
the foregoing statements are gleaned,
is doing practical and efficient service
in seeking to reach every home, every
parent, and extend a knowledge of
child nurture. The congress is strong
ly urging such provision as will give
to parents the knowledge which will
do more than anything else to check
the evils which menace society.
The terrible death rate among in
fants can be checked only by giving
to every expectant mother the knowl
edge of what the baby needs in food,
sleep, clothing and care. The time ha 3
come when every nation, through a
special department, should provide the
data concerning Infants which may be
used by boards of health and mothers.
The parents' associations and mothers'
circles for the study of the welfare
of the child in home, sehool and state
should be co-extensive with the

schools which the children attend.
Study courses and libraries tor par
ents should be provided for every par
ents' association. As strength is
gained by unity of action, these asso
ciations should unite in local, state
and national bodies in the cause of the
welfare of the child, and in diffusion
of intelligent knowledge of its re
quirements.
A thorough knowledge of the child's
physical needs will result in the elim
ination of many diseases due to
parental ignorance. A knowledge of
the high, holy and pure functions of
sex inculcated in the receptive minds
of children by parents would go far
toward preventing the social evil —il-
legitimate children, venereal diseases
and unhappy marriages. The knowl
edge of how to develop honesty, re
liability, purity of mind and respon
sibility in children, would prevent
much crirninalty. The laws of health,
particularly in relation to food, venti
lation and sanitation, if thoroughly un
derstood and enforced, would have a
great influence on health of mind and
body.
The present methods of caring for
the dependent, neglected, delinquent,
defective and wayward children are
far from adequate. The care of chil
dren in individual homes rather than
institutions and orphan asylums can
not be too strongly recommended.
The group system, with house-mother
and distinct family life, has proven
most successful in Institutions. The
placing of wayward children in homes
where experts in child care may study
and guide them, instead of in reform
atories, is now advised by the leading
students of sociology.
Study of the physical conditions of
the child, which may be the chief
cause of moral failure, is highly Im
portant. The teaching of speech to
deaf children, without the use of sign
language, should begin at an early age.
The prevention of deafness may be ac
complished by segregating the deaf,
thus preventing Intermarriage and the
perpetuation of the defect. The pre
vention of blindness Is possible
through widespread dissemination of
knowledge as to the cause and means
of prevention, with laws regulating
—and a peace-loving Ksklmo rarely
wants a.i unwilling wife—tho girl
learns to endure patiently her fate.
Another way of wooing Is to visit
the "young people's house"of a vil
lage and there select a wife. Kach
village has such a house for unmur
rled persons. The youth selects a
wife, and If they like each other and
their respective parents have no ob
jections, A brief trial marriage Is fol
lowed by the ceremony of taking
home th" bride In less violent fashion
than by the hulr of her head.
Ksklmo couples are generally kind
and affectionate toward each other,
and the wife is usually well treated ac
cording to her code. Thin admits only of
entire obedience upon the part of the

the care of children at birth.
Legislation can do much to prevent
the causes of unnecessary orphanage
by requiring employers to provide
safeguards for life and health. At the
same time a certain amount of whole
some manual work is necessary and
should bo a part of the system of ed
ucation from the kindergarten through
every school grade.
Decent housing and sanitary condi
tions should be mandatory under the
supervision of boards of health. No
community can afford to keep plague
spots in its midst. Playgrounds for
children should be mandatory and in
sufficient number in every neighbor
hood to keep the children off the
streets. No children should be sub
jected to the criminal influences that
come from association with criminals
In courts, prisons and police stations.
Juvenile courts and a well organized
probation system should be a part of
the system for child care in every
community. No child should be in an
almshouse, no child should be per
manently placed in a family or insti
tution without the authority of the
court, and with a record that will
make it always possible to trace them.
Probation officers should be skilled
in honiemaking, able to advise mothers
in all that goes to make a good
mother and a good housekeeper; able
to aid in problems of child care and
to guide difHcult children into safe,
wholesome ways of life.
Mothers organized in every nation
to study the physical, mental and
moral growth of childhood, to study
community conditions affecting chil
dren with the purpose of making them
wholesome and helpful, is the funda
mental step that will elevate the
standards of marriagp, parenthood and
home life, and raise the physical and
moral tone of the race. This Is the
laudable work that is being underta
ken by the national Congress of
Mothers, and great good has already
been done along these lines. The an
nual meeting of the congress will be
held in Denver, June 10-15, when prob
lems of child care will be discussed
by loading experts. Mothers, teach
ers and child lovers in general will be
welcome to the meetings

Willing to Pay for Rammer.
When the British square at the bat
tie of Abu Klea, in the Nubian des
ert, was penetrated by the dervishes,
one of them attempted to spear a gun
ner who was in the act of ramming
home a charge. The Hriton brained
the Sudanese, but the rammer head
split on the man's hard skull. Next day
the gunner was sent for. Mistaking
the reason, and knowing from experi
ence that soldiers are charged for
government property which they
break, he led off with: "Please, sir,
I'm very sorry I broke the rammer,
but I never thought the fellow's head
(•ould bo so hard. I'll pay for the
rammer so as to hear no more of
the case."
"Yaller."
Some 6oaps are so yellow that no
word describes them so well as the
boruely old expression "yaller." They

—and lot 3 of rosin is putin to give the

caustic and you understand why your

them. Use Easy Task soap—the pure,
white, guaranteed soap that is an
enemy to dirt and a friend to fabrics.

STOOD WHERE SHE WAS PUT
Wife Obeyed Orders to the Letter, but
Unfortunately Workmen Moved
Post Hole.
In a western state workmen began
to dig a post hole for an electric light
In front of a Dutchman's dwelling,
when the roaster forbade them to con
tinue. After some discussion the
Dutchman bade his wife stand on a
large, flat slate with which he cov
ered the hole. "Now, Gretchen," he
said, "dat ish vhere you shtands till
I comes back mit ein enjunction." The
solid frau stood there like a statue,
her hands on her hips. When the
hu3band disappeared, the leader of
the workmen ordered the slate, with
the frau on it, to be removed. With
perfect politeness the lady was set on
one side as if she had been a fat tea
pot on a salver. The Dutch wife stood
like Casabianca, but the hole was well
in its place when the householder re
turned with the injunction. He was
overcome with astonishment and
wrath. "Vy vas you not stood on dat
hole?" he demanded of his wife. "It
was on dls stone dat you vas puts
me," she answered. He looked at her
in helpless indignation a moment, and
then cried: "I vas not mean dat you
shtand on dat stone ven dat hole was
carried away!"— Christian Register.
Very Fishy.
She was a flsherman's daughter, she
wore her hair in a net, and she pre
ferred love in a piscatorial way.
"My love," he whispered, "you hold
first 'place' in my heart! Although I
'flounder' about in expressing myself,
my 'sole' wish is that you will save
me from becoming a 'crabbed' old
bachelor. I shall stick to you closer
than a 'limpet,' from you a 'wink'H"
be the road to guide me. Together
we will 'skate' over life's 'rocks,' and
when 1 look at your hand beside me
1 shall say to myself: 'Fortune was
mine when I put 'herring' there!"
And then the lady dropped her eyes
In sweet confusion, and murmured:
"Pass the salt."
