former employees return to work today,
and the remainder as soon as there are
vacancies. The selections have been
made, the business mems committee has
approved the agreement. the young la
dies and their friends are satisfied 1t
is a fortunate termination Of the strike.
To the public this will carry rea-
sonable hope OF a greatly improved
service as the outcome OF II all. The
central authorities OF the company have
been made acquainted with the local
conditions and the quality of the service
here. New appliances have been put in
place, more employees are engaged at
better wages and better hours. With
the return OF the skilled operatives to
their places, our people will expect to
see their long deferred dream Of fairly
satisfactory telephone service realized.
Everybody gains by the adjustment Of
the strike disagreement, and probably
the public most of all.

FROM THE PEOPLE.
CARE OF DEPENDENT CHILDREN.

Seattle, WASH, Aug. 3, 1900
To the Editor: observe In the columns
OF the Post-Intellgencer a proposition to
build and maintain at Seattle, an indus
trial school for children. The people OF
this city must be their own judges as to
where they VIII bestow their benevolence
and l have no desire to dictate as to
what they shall do with their money. In
this case, however, there IS an important
question which should he considered. Is
an institution the best place for depend
ent children? Is 1t not better to place
children In family homes, thereby giving
the children the advantage OF family life
and saving to the public the expense of
maintaining an institution
The Washington Chiidrens Home So
ciety has now been at work in Seattle
for nearly five years. The work OF tho
society has extended over tho entire state
The society has cared for nearly three
hundred children. Many OF these children
have ranged from 10 years to Is years
of age. Some have been saved from the
reform school. In some cases tho police
department has called upon our society
to take care OF unfortunate children The
plan OF this society very soon places the
children In family homes and has proven
to be very successful.
Considering the work that IL being done.
is II wise to increase our institutions for
the care Of children They may be in
dustrial schools or other kinds of fnsti-
tutions. Is It not best for the children
and far less expense to place the children
in family homesg III. d. BROWN.
