In all our large cities the reform of Juvenile
offenders, and the removal from temptation of
those not fallen, is one of the primary requi-
sites for preventing the harvest of crime from
Increasing. The removal of bad boys and va
grants 10 farms in the country has been found
one OF The most effective methods of reform.
Sincethe colony ofMettray was first established
in France the experiment has been extensive
ly tried, thirty three such colonies capable of
accommodating and teaching ten thousand
homeless lads, being now in existence in that
country. OF the boys sent to the old correc-
tional schools third relapsed into vice and
villainy as soon as they were released. OF the
boys trained on these farm schools ninety
seven in every hundred are permanently re-
formed leaving only three per cent still
vicious. The same method has been
tired to some extent in England
with similar results. The wholesome
moral influence of industry, and secluson
from the temptations of the cities, is found
very efficient corrective of vicious habits
Seventeen years ago the Childreu's Aid Socie-
ty was formed in New York, and it has during
that time removed to country homes and en-
ployment 20,100 persons, the greater part of
whom have been poor and homeless children.
1t has founded and still supports five lodg-
ing houses for homeless and street wandering
boys and girls, five free reading rooms for
boys and young men, and twenty industrial
schools for children too poor, ragged and un-
disciplined to attend the public schools. As
the result the number of female vagrants has
been reduced from $3.50 in 1860 to 7S5 in
1860. There has been marked diminution
OF cri>ae among tha classes reached by these
instrumentalites, the number of criminals
either diminishing absolutely or not increas.
Ing in proportion 10 the population. 1t is evil
IDENTITY easier and better to prevent crime than
to punish it. The latter is but means to an
end. 1t is not government to punish merely,
but TO secure obedience to the laws, and if
better means can be found for efIeeting this
object than punishment it is for society to
employ them.

BAcCALAuREATE SERMON OF PRESIDENT
HARRIS

N
HARRIS.
commencement exercises at Bowdoin Col
lege began on Sunday evening, by the deliv-
cry to the Senior Glass of the Baccalaureate
of President Harris. The text was taken
from Matthew I :4G, Al: "For if ye love them
which love you, what reward have ye? do not
even the publicans the same? And if ye sa-
lutte your brethren only, what do ye moreIthan
Others? do not even the publicans SOP" The
subject was announced to be the distinctive
characteristics and superiority of the Chris
tian doctrine of virtue.
Iu introducing the subject the president al
luded to the current argument against Chris
tianity, that moral ideas are the same in all
PHILOSOPHERS and religions. He replied that
the New Testament assumes and explicitly
asserts the existence in the human reason of
a common standard of right and wrong, and
of common moral law; that Christian apol-
ogists have long been obliged to defend this
position against atheistic and materialistic
skepticism; and that they gladly welcome, at
last, the concession of this fundamental posi-
ton. He further replied that the current ar
gument regards Jesus merely as an ethical
philosopher Jesus did not come as teacher of
philosophy, nor as alawgiver, but as aredeem-
er from sin He assumed the knowledge OF
God, of the moral law of sin and guilt
He brought procssedly tue gospel as distin-
guished from the law, the glad tidings of
Gods love, redeeming sinners from the guilt
and pollution of sin. But while under the
great diversties of human action essentially
the same moral principles are with varying
distinctness every where acknowledged, 1t is
still true that Christian virtue has distinctive
peculiarities which give it marked superi0ri-
ty over ethnic morality; In general the DIS
from the distinctive character of Christianity,
as the gospel of Gods love to sinners, redeem

and dressed in tow cloth in summer and
Sleeps gray cloth in winter. In 1920 labor
ers were hired for twenty-five cents day for
all work except moving, for which they re-
ceiyed fifty cents. Since then great improve
ments have taken place in machinery, each
improvement of course compelling greater
OF smaller number of laborers to change their
occupation, and encounte ering rs a natural
consequence the bitter hostility and denun-
ciation,of those whose immediate interests
were thus affected. Yet the wages of labor
ers and the prices of all those articles in
which labor IS a principle ingredient have
steadily advanced, while the prices of
manufactured Igocds have as steadily de
clined, bringing them within the reach of a
constantly increasing class Of consumers
Great numbers OF cheap laborers from abroad
have immigrated 10 our shores, exciting at
first as much opposition as improvements in
machinery, and producing an effect nearly
similar. In the former case the native labor
er became a superintendent of unskilled labor,
as in the latter he became a manager of ma

tributed to the elevation of intelligent labor
in the past and so they are likely to do in the
future. Experience will probably dispel the
fears now entertained as it has similar rayz IN
the past.
How much cooperative enterprises will =,
complish toward making capitalists and labor
ers work together in harmony, remains TO be
seen, and will depend very much upon the
adaptbility of the cooperative system to all
branches of industry. This has not as yet
been fully tested

The Importance of bookculture to the farm
er is so evident that it cannot be urged upon
the public notice too often. Books and even
papers perform great labors oltentimes As
the mind is always susceptible of improvement,
as one idea makes way for another, so should
stock of mental food be always on hand; for
it is just as necessary to have food for the mind
as for the stomach, and it should be adapted
to the occupation of the consumer in a meas
ure. The mind is always in a state of action,
thoughts are coming and going and we should
| always have something to think Of
To majority of farmers an academlcal
education is not attained but home educa-
tion is, and valuable readingi is within the reach
OF all. Books are comparatively cheap and a
scarcity of good ones prevails in most farmers
families, and for that reason much valua-
BILE time runs to waste, but that should not be,
for papers are plenty cheap and good.
| Most farmers get only an experimental edu-
cation, so they move only in certain sphere
of action. We have enterprising men among
us it is true, but the generality are rather beloo
than above, and the reason is, that as our boys
| do not have farming made attractive to them,
and more especially profitable, they are dlssat.
istied, and the more enterprising of them take
to something else more agreeable, seemingly,
and leave those at home to farm who can do
nothing else either from ignorance or want of
ambition. This is only too true and our cities
are well stocked with farmers boys who are in
the greatest demand by business men; and if
this is true, would it not be well to try to keep
them at home and make farmers of them?
| They are just such stock as ,ce want, for the
farmers vote rules the country and his indus
| try feeds it. What occupation is more indie
pendent? Books and papers keep farmers
| boys and girls at home, and especially if they
| are of the right kind. No light and flashy
| reading should be allowed in such family, as
it creates morbid mind. Literature will make
home attractive and will always furnish plenty
of company in leisure hours. It is valuable
property, especially that class which relates to
the occupation of the reader. Most printed
matter is entertaining and at the same time
instructive, and such matter we get in our
newspapers and magagaznes. We hardly can
estimate their worth when we look back to
former years and see the privations our ances-
tors endured from a lack of them. They are
just the things for farmers families, and the
first year will pay principal and interest, no
mistake. II. MS.

If the immigration of the Chinese produces
no other beneficial effect, it will at least be
likely to awaken public interest in the intelli-
gent study Of the relations of capital and Ia
Dor. A great amount of breath has been ex-
pended by sciolists and demagogues in shall
low declamations about the antagonsm of la
Dor and capital, while profound and thorough
study of the question has been comparatively
rare and exceptional. Scientific students of
Political Economy exhibit remarkable unan-
unity in the opinion that there is no antago.
nism OF real and permanent interests between
capital and: labor, but that when the repre-
sentatives of these interests array themselves
against each other, it is because of short
sighted and superficial views Of their own as
well as of the others interests. Capital is
nothing without labor, and labor is almost
nothing without capital. Machinery would
produce nothing without intelligence to direct
and control it, and will to give it an impulse,
while the laborer with nothing but his hands
to work with, could scarcely subsist. Mutual
ly dependent parts of the great fabric of civil
lzation, harmony is their normal state, discord
result merely of practical imperiection.-
Thus when both belong to the same individ-
ual there is not even an apparent conflict OF
interests. That course which will make the
profit of capital the greatest, will also secure
maximum return to labor. 1t is only when
industry becomes highly organized, and when
labor comes from one quarter and capital from
another, that any signs of conflict show them
selves. Here even both are alike interested
in producing the highest result. 1t is only in
the division of the finished product, or what
IS the same thing, the division of the price,
that disagreement and jealousy occur. Here
even an inequitable distribution tends to cor
rect itself; for if the capitalist gets more than
a just share of the product, the chances are
that his capital will accumulate more and
more rapidly, increasing the demand and with
it the compensation for labor, till the equilib-
rum is restored. The necessities of the cap
italist, if less urgent are not less real than
those of the laborer. Either is losing ground
every moment he is not active, the only differ
ence being that the former generally has more
ground than the latter to lose.
These are no visionary conclusions. All
history testiies to the advantage accrrinS to
labor from the accumulation of capital. To
this very largely is due the increase in the
productiveness, and consequently in the COM
pensation of labor that has taken place within
the last three quarters of a century. In 1907
good hands to labor on farm could be pro-
cured here in New England for three dollars
month, and in hay harvest for twenty-five
cents day. The general rate was a little
higher, being five dollars month for the sea-
son. Then there was comparatively no tariff,
no machinery, no Irish, no coolies in the
country. Laborers and mechanics lived
mostly on pork, corn bread and milk porrdge,
lodged in upholstered, tmpanted shantes,
