tons are often attracted by the order and

forget that the child is only part Of one
big machine moving, so to speak, at the
stroke of a bell wearing a uniform and do
ing Just as the others do. Children so rails
ed have no idea of the methods followed
in the home. Of the value of money, and OF
the importance of individual effort, and are
practically helpless when they are placed
out at service or in some other sphere of
life to begin caring for themselves. A sat

This system, we find. is cheaper than the

parents are more willing to let their chill
dren enter some Institution where they can
have them near and see them regularly
than they are to let them go into the coun-
try where the children's services and af-
fections are claimed by some one else.
When parents of neglected children are
able. they are compelled to pay toward
their support, and II they fail to do SO,
they may be sent to prison. There is not a
dissentient voice in all Australia as to the
merits of this system, which We regard as
best for the state and for the child. and
even IL 1t cost a great deal more money
than it does, We would still insist upon it.

are eighteen, but We want new law that
will give us control of both until they are
eighteen. At thirteen they are sent out to
service They then have no school teachers
to look after them. but they have the regu-
lar lady visitors and inspectors. They re-
ceive their clothes and small wages three
fourths of which Is placed to their credit in
savings banks, and one-fourth is given
them for pocket money. The result Is that
rule, when they pass from our control
the children have from flo to els with

Respectable Families.
The child is indentured to the woman Of

the responsible party. We usually do not
send more than two or three children to
one family, and never to a family that is
too poor. We avoid entirely the system Of

the hill-climbing battery that expendi-

is equivalent to a reduction of City per

greater proportion of energy. A rider
who can now go twenty miles over

the new arrangement, do double
the distance over billy districts with
