at last given highest sanction to the prin-
ciple that the health of workingmen is an
interest of the state and cannot be disre-
garded by the greed of employers nor even
by the stupidity and negligence of the en-
ploye. Churches have received a fresh an6
powerful impulse from a recovery of the
spirit of primitive Christianity, and have
turned more and more from devisive con-
troversy TO generous rivalry in humane
endeavors. The associations for young
men and women have broadened their
work to care for the entire nature OF man,
physical, aesthetic. intellectual and spirit
ual. The institutional church broke the
formality of staid methods and learned Of
the Salvation Army how to touch with
healing power the most neglected of the
children OF the heavenly Father. Even
the theological schools have slowly, some
times reluctantly. begun TO prepare candi-
dates for the ministry for the practical adj
ministration of charity. for wise co-opera-
ton with enlightened public spirit and for
appreciative and intelligent sympathy with
all efforts to promote the general welfare,

said a prominent Western merchant land
/ do what l can to encourage habits of
thrift. / employ about seventy-five clerks
in my establishment, TO whom pay weekly
salaries ranging from SO to $40. Naturally
enough more of them get the former than
the later amount, but they are none the
less worthy on that account In the begin
ming, when l employed only two people, L
lived pretty close TO them, and knew how
thriftless they could be when they were not
encouraged TO be otherwise. / have dis
charged more clerks for that sort OF thins
than for any other cause. They spent their
salaries, large or small as might be- in
reckless fashion, and let debts accumulate
quite regardless of the rights Of creditors.
As my business increased, and with IL my
force of people, began to give the matter
more study, and in the end, when i felt
able to be of material assistance in encour-
aging thrift and honesty, l proposed a
yearly recognition to those who would save
something out of their salaries. 1t was
small at first, but was so successful that to-
day 1 haven't clerk who has not some
kind of a bank account, and not one who
willfully refuses TO pay his debts. When
we get a new one who refuses to take adj
vantage of the opportunities afforded We let
him go at the end of the first year
My present plan is to double the saw
ings Of all clerks who receive so, sl2 and
SO a week; to add % per cent. TO all who
receive from SIS to SIS. and 10 for those

of clerks have no to maintain but
themselves and IL one cannot save more
than $25 out of his years labor Ii is rather
pleasant for him to get SIS clear profit
Those who receive the larger amounts usu-
ally have families and their savings are
not large, but whateve, they are they are
comfortably increased. One of my S1.200-a-
year clerks. with a wife and two small chill
dren. saved $500 last year. and my check
for 800 additional was deposited to his ac-
count the day after New Year. young
woman in charge of a department at $500
a year has almost paid for a nice little cot
tage in the suburbs out of her extra, and
so the list runs on through every branch
of the business. / make il condition that
all current obligations must be met at the
end of the year, so that the savings are
actual net profit. Every year some of the
clerks are not entitled to any extra, but

ises to become a model for the Nation.
The reform schools, Industrial schools and
municipal parental schools separate Juve-
nile offenders from hardened felons and
habitual misdemeanants. Manual training
and sloyd methods of education have
passed beyond the stage of experiment and
become permanent factors in reformation.
Cities have substituted fines and probation
for corrupting incarceration, so that occa-
sional offenders may keep up the saving
relations of family and industry and still
be under rigid control.
Michigan led the way in establishing
most enlightened and complete system of
child care, the admiration of philanthro-
pists in all the world. This system includes
supervision and central OF all public and
private institutions for dependent and neg
lected children. that all may be protected
by law. No child is TO be placed in an
institution except on judicial approval and
finding that ii is delinquent or dependent
All institutions are required to place de-
pendent children in approved family homes
within a reasonable time. During minority
indentured children and youth are super
given from public funds to private insti-
tutions. but they are encouraged and simply
required TO give evidence of efficiency III
treated children are protected by stringent
provisions of law, and parental custody

Dependent and delinquent children are

CARE OF CHILDREN.
Private societies for aiding neglected
children have made great advance in meth
DDS and results. Huge barracks are no
longer approved as permanent homes of
children, and the natural environment Of
fostering parental affection is sought for

series are agencies OF philanthropy for
touching the very beginning of educational
life. Reformatories are mere repair shops

The most hopeful effort is in the nursery
while attempts TO straighten crooked trees

Philanthropy has taken q wider and
