to permit the years (luring which
they should he laying the foundations
of knowledge most easily, to find
them so crowded by thousands out of
the schools or sitting on the window
ledges or (with doubly worked teach-
ers trying to instruct two "sets of
youngsters) on "half "time”? And yet
we go calmly on year after year per-
mitting money to be misused while
the little children pay the bills in
wasted years; and then, when Christ-
mas comes, the children’s festival par
excellence, we lift up our eyes to
heaven with the prayer of the Phar-
isee and rejoice over the Christmas
season and its Joy for the children!
Can there be any neglect of the com-
monwealth’s interests greater and
with results more lasting, than our
failure to consider every child an as-
set to be treasured and and appre-
ciated, to be educated to its utmost
possibilities?
We are all prone, men and women
alike, to look mostly at immediate
effects. If some one we know goes
out to nurse a poorer neighbor
stricken down with typhoid or any
of the other preventable diseases, wo
exclaim over the lovely charity of
the action and praise the kindness of
heart which prompted It. “That,"
says the average person, “Is true
charity and neighborly love.” But If
that kindly woman were to give half
the time and effort to help along a
crusade for pure water or for the
prevention of consumption or for the
cleaning up of a pestilent neighbor-
hood, she would probably be called
by those Immediately around her, 1f
not a muckraker, at le-ast an uncom-
fortably active reformer. Yet the
prevention of the illness would mean
more to the poorer neighbor than all
the kindly nursing during its continu-
ance. All.we may do tn the way of
Juvenile courts for the young offend-
ers is not to be compared with giving
them JuBt their bare right to play-
grounds and good teaching, with plenty
of room for al! and well paid teachers
to work for and with them.
When we know that the coming of
Christmas, tfee children's festival. Is
going to make all the young bog-
makers in our city slave extra long
hours. In order to fill the rush or-
ders of the season, shall we not be
shaken out of our smug rejoicing
over this as a time of plenty for all?
Not enough schools for the city’s
children; not enough food for them,
ev.en when they do get -Into the
schools; not enough wages for their
parents to enable the mothers to
remain In the homes to look after
them; not enough money spent by
Guest—Has this soda been charged?
Walter—Yes, sir; at the bar and at
the cashier's desk, too, sir.

Where Autos Are Barred.
Prince Edward island bars automo
^tles, not because the islanders can
uot afford the machines, but because
of accidents caused by the reckless-
ness of drivers who brought in the
first cars, They caused many run-
aways, and a few had tragic endings.
The legislature at once passed a law-
barring autos from the island. Some'
of the leading cities have since en-
deavored to have, the enactment re-
pealed, but the country influence has
always been strong enough to over
come all such efforts.

Epigram.
"That wasn’t a bad epigram on the
magistrate’s part,” said the somewhat
educated tramp, who had been con-
victed for vagrancy.
"What did he say?" asked the
tramp's pal.
“Seven days,” came the reply.
“That ain’t no epigram, is it”
"I’m sure It Is. I asked a parson
once what an epigram was, and he
says, ’It’s a short sentence that
sounds light, but gives you plenty to
think about.”
