who have passed the first few years OF life
and are kept busy at outdoor work.

and close summer air: but the sur

situations valuable for society. AS rule.
city children brought up In hardship may
be compared favorably with country chill
dren reared under like circumstances: and
where the early life OF both is surrounded
by care and comfort. those bred in the town
are likely to look better. The moral benefit
OF tho social stir and intellectual stimulus
of city existence inures to their advantage.
Moreover, at this period throughout civ
ilization young people OF the country are
eager to get to the great towns. The monot-
ony OF country life wearies them. The ur-
ban population grows steadily larger ut the
expense OF tho rural. The disposition OF
humanity to herd together increases. and
the demand for the excitement Of populous
communities becomes more and more gen.
eral and urgent. with the result that the
time approaches when the majority OF the
American people will be living in cities.
AS a place to sojourn In. the country may
be popular. but as place of residence the
town is preferred. The crowding in great
city is Offset by q multitude OF comforts
not obtained In the country. and bya whole
some social activity possible only under
urban conditions. Hence the political rule
Is gradually passing away from the coun-
try to the town.
Those city children to whom good people
are giving chance to breathe country air.
are not getting enamored Of rural life to an
extent which will induce them to go coun-
ter to tho current as they grow in years.

1t seems. therefore, that the very depriva-
tion which is accounted hardship. really
inures to their advantage over people OF
softer and more luxurious lives. Their
homes may be uninvtting, but SO much the
better for their health, since they are driven
into the open air. Their rooms may be bare
OF carpets. but however rich the home.'al

Country and CITY,

The extreme sensitveness to all suffer-
ing which distinguishes this period, has of
late years found expression in the estab-
lishment Of country and more especially
seaside, homes and hospitals for the benefit
of poor and sick children of this city.
The number OF these institutions has
much increased during the present sum-
mer. and many OF those already existing
have been enlarged. Inchief part they are
built on the Long Island and New Jersey
seacoasts at the expense Of churches, char
liable societies. and private individuals;
and usually their inmates are changed
every few weeks by the transportation OF q
fresh supply Of children from town, though
the residence Of the sick in branch hos
pitfalls is more permanent. The colonies
are mainly watched over by charita-
BILE women, who volunteer their SER
Vices for longer or shorter periods; or they
ore Sisters specially dedicated to a re-
ligious life. The children seem to get much
enjoyment out Of their. country soiourn
though their return to town In the warm
season after 80 brief stay. in order to
make room for Others, may sometimes
neutraliZe the benefit obtained from the
outing. Moreover. numerous as these in
situations now are. they can accommodates
only small part OF the children Of the CITY.
even with their frequent changes of in
mates; yet. undoubtedly, these homes
brighten the lives Of thousands of little
people who else might not get breath
OF tho free air of the sea and the fields.
Hence the charity makes powerful appeal
to the maternal sentiment of good women:
and sight OF the sun-browncd youngsters
at such institutions stimulates gifts for the
establishment Of others.
1t Is remarkable. however, that near NV
these refugees country children are fire.

Tho children OF the poor in New York
enjoy the advantage Of sanitary regu-

share OF the profit which comes from inces-
SAINT and varied social activity. In sum-
mer. undoubtedly. the death rate is high
among them. but 1t has decreased greatly
during the last twenty years; and we ques-
ton whether. on the whole. they are not
better nourished than the children Of the
