The National Conference.

EDITOR LEADER:-Saturday the Grand
Rapids Police and Fire Department
were out for half holiday and parade.
l counted 60 policemen and los fremen
in line, with over 20 different vehicles
connected with the FIRE department,
steam fire engines, chemical engines,
hose wagons, hook and ladder wagons.
During the parade an alarm was turn
ed in and three teams made run,
a steam fire engine, chemical engine
and hook and ladder wagon. This was
no better than we see in Marietta oc-
casionally, only more teams and more
noise.
Yesterday twenty-three pulpits in
the City were filled by Conference peo-
Pile. A glance at the list shows num-
ber of names of National reputation.
Among others Rev. Frances Peabody,
of Harvard University, and Rev. DR..
Charles R. Anderson, of Chicago Uni
versity.
The Michigan system of child-saving
is known as the State School system.
They gather all the dependent chill
dren into one institution at Coldwater
and keep them there until they can be
placed out in families. In connection
with the school the law provides for a
State agent and one agent in each
county, who have charge of the plac-
ing out of the children. These agents
go and visit the children in their fostec
homes aud report to the State school
Superintendent. The average length
of time a child is detained in the school
is eighteen months. They never place
out child until the county agent, in
the county where the child is to be
placed, has first visited the proposed
home and made "a report as to the ad-
visibility of letting the child go into
the family. The county agent visits
the child from year to year and keeps
a .watchful care over it until it be-
comes of age. There are some advan-
tages in this over the Ohio system.
The great objection is that in popu-
lous State like Ohio it would place the
relief too far away and make it too diff
ficult to get dependent child into the
State school, and meanwhile the child
would have to go to the County In
frmary while waiting for the routine
of the law to obtain admission Cor it to
the State Institution. Then, again, in
great State like Ohio such central
institution would be oyer crowded
There would be SO many little children
in one mass that the proper personal
attention to their training could not
be given, and then they would be sub
ject to all the evils coming from the
assembly and massing of large num-
bers in one institution. Our County
system brings relief to the very door
of poverty. We say, no child shall go
to the poor house, nor shall any suffer
from want of proper care. The Trus-
tees of any township in Ohio can take
a dependent child and in twenty-four
hours or even less time than that,
place it within the sheltering arms OF
a Children's Home. If our Children's
Homes had the Michigan system of
State supervision with State and Coun-
ty agents. it would be the best in the
world. The county agents in Michi-
gan get 500 per year and are appoint
ed by the Governo, and are usually ex-
mem bers of the Legislature.

LAWYERS cRITICIsE THE CONDUCT OF THE COR
DON ARSON TRIAL
Many New Workers. including some we'll ,nown
lawyers OF the city declared yesterday that there
had been inexcusable procrastnation in the IL al
OF Louis Gordon the "frcbug." 1t was n disgrace
20 the administration OF justice in the city they de-
clared that q man who had set fire to his place OF
business for gain should be allowed 10 spend the
time of the court for two months when ne
could be convicted only OF arson In the third degree
In the opinion Of many well-informed lawyers who
talked OF the yesterday the fault for such an
intolerably slow and expensive trial did not rest
entirely on the shoulders OF Dstrct-Attorney Eel
lows, whose procrastinating and d.latory methods
had become notorious II was said that Judge Fitz-
gerald should not have permitted Gordons counsel
deliberately TO waste the time Of the court by ask
ing wholly needless and Irrelevant questions. The
reports OF the trial II declared. showed that the
Judge had allowed the utmost liberty TO counsel to
waste time and delay the progress OF testimony. -,
Men who have to perform Jury duty occasionally
declared that III jurymen could be kept away from
business and compelled to listen for two months to
frivolous questions and answers and long-spun
arguments before deciding third-class arson case.
the disposition to dodge jury duty would be greatly
Increased.
