They Iiave been brew- Jt m beaten long enough. The majority 'of them have been compelled te work fifteen hours a day seven days a week for tee many years, and this must net ?e en any further. This country was reed by patriotic men thrdugh a dec laration of independence. Let the serv ant girls get together and find n Marthn Jeffersen or a Musan Hnnceck te write us up a declaration of rights, present tbem at Cregan'a Hall, and then let fas nil pull together nnd lick te a frnzele all these mistress Hessians, nnd It we nre driven out of I'hlludelnhla fVtr a time we can camp along Qebbs Crtek for the winter, feeling sure that even tually the female Ceruwalllses will have te surrender te our demands and glve us an cight-heur-a-day job. We want mere than that: we want decent quarters. The Htate Government haa compelled sanitary conditions in our factories, and proper working and living quarters' for the help. Why should' We servant girls be given the worst lighted and worst ventilated room In the house? Why should we, in many instances, be HI fed? .'I would never .work at a place where the family, provided they had chicken, didn't nllew me my portion. They tried te prevent mc doing this nt one place, be I merely llfted one of the second joints from the plate before serving it, nnd for n long time the madam never missed it. Believe me, if we hnd a union, we would net have te be tfltlslled with the pickings, if it rame te the table, or the choice of rooms in the' house. I don't want 'anything but mr rl'chtH. and I will have them or knew the reason why, j (fid cc-'Operatlen of the New Gtnhiry Club and the National Congress of Mothers we compiled the laws of every State concerning delinquent children. This wis 'done . by courtesy of the Philadelphia , Bar Association, In giving us the use of its library. ' The com pilation "revealed that, up te that time comparatively little successful work had been done te help erring and delinquent children. ..... ,. . Philadelphia's Juvenile Court was first managed by the Court of Quarter Sessions, attracting world-wide atten tion. Many were the visitors who came te study the methods. Its conduct proved most successful. A nation-wide crusade was conducted by the National Congress of Mothers e have the system Inaug urated In every State, This was most successful because the congress bad State branches and they took up the cruaede, thus securing the interest of many peo ple In every State. Canada sent for the writer le come there and aid in drafting their blllH and promoting their passage In the Canadian Parliament. .All this Is te the honor of Philadelphia, and It is ter this purpose that I am giving this Information. Many nt PhilmlcfmWB sDlendld women and some of the ablest Judges gave their assistance in making the Juvenile Court a great success. Preventive measures are mere ImperJ tant than these which deal with chil dren after they have gene astray. Pro bation work is the key te the situation. It Is the most delicate and most Impor tant tiarfef the whole system. Phila delphia is very modest about its ewu nrremnllkhmpntfl. When ln 1011 the Natlennl Congress of Mothers nnd Parent -Teacher Acse- ciattenH inaugurated a nation-wide campaign te establish ln every State the Mothers' Pension Bill, the law of Penn sylvania was judged:, the best of any State by n cemml8sl6n appointed by the New lerk Htutc Legislature te lu ilen of Its children All questions which relate te children are educational qur qur tlens, and should properly come under the supervision of the educational sys- Judge German gave his heart and time te the work and was chosen by the women of the Juvenile.
