CARE OF CHILDREN.

expresses the opinion that most of the
efforts made are partial and superficial,
while some of them. in his opinion, are so
administered as to increase rather than to
abate the evils they are intended to meet.
THE care of the dependent children

of all social questions which are
recognized as being before. the people.
If it can be rightly answered. every other
social problem becomes mo-e simple. As
an illustration of the manner In which the
problem of neglected childhood touches
every department of social science. may be
mentioned the fact that at the last meet

Yale law-school. read q paper on Child
saving Legislation as the foundation of

is as well known as it is true, All social
evils begin in neglected childhood

method of the Board of Children's Guard

organization. is original to the State OF In

not singular that q Democrat should not
be consistent or stop at means he claims TO

strange by several good Democrats that he

them the night before he would not ap-
point q committee that had resolutions.
The understanding of those 10 whom the
promise was made, and also OF the candl-
dates who did not want to be burdeDed
with resolutions. was that the committee
was TO report that the convention had been
called to make NOMINATIONS and not to adopt

The echoes of the convention were heard
all day yesterday, and there were a great

who wondered what manner of men a
