lie Says. but Thinking People Need
Places 10 Meet-The Idea I'm France.
Apparently American social and economic
conditions are awakening a lively interest
IN France. Only q few months ago Nj.
Jules Seigfried Of economic fame did US
the honor to come over and spend several
weeks Ia making a study OF American con-
ditions. Now. following upon NJ. Seigfr1eds
heels. comes NJ. Leopold Mabilleau.
M. Mabilleau II a parsonage OF impor-
lance In the French social and economic
world. He has held various distinguished
| Offices. At the National Conservatory
Of Arts and Trades a chair Of social economy
was created especially for him. he Is a
member Of the Institute, a member OF
the Academy OF Moral and Political Sciences
an officer OF the Legion Of Honor. Last
but In his estimation first, he Is director
Of the Muse, Social Of France.
This Muses Social is an outgrowth OF
the social and economic interest awakened
by the Paris Exposition OF 1889. II was
founded at the close OF the Exposition,
and since then has been n prominent factor
In French economies, thanks TO the Efforts
Of men like NJ. Mabilleau who have thrown
| themselves heart and soul into the work
of the institution.
Social and economic ad vancement in its
broadcast sense Is the object OF the Musee'
but its energies have been applied 70 issues
eminently practical, n the results have
been surprising 70 conservative minds'
DR.. William II. Tolman OF the New YORK
League for Social Service. when asked
- - 49, AfaaAa Social
exploded in his customary vigorous fashion,.
Social service seems TO conduce TO exag-
Rerated vigor. NJ. Mabilleau's manner is
more suavo than that Of his American
colleague. but his mustache, his pompa-
dour and his theories are quite as aggressive
as DR. Tolman's conversation.
.Msbilleau?- said DR.. Talman. why.
everybody in Fra nee knows Mabileau.
There Is no man there more In touch with
both laborer and capitalist and more trusted
by both.
'sHe has given his life TO social work.
The fact that he Is here intristed with
special missions by the French Ministers
OF Commerce, OF Foreign Affairs and OF
Public Education speaks for his standing
with the French Government.
Count Chambrun left NJ. Msbilleau $780,
600 worth Of stock in his big glass industry
as a recognition Of the value Of the mans
economic etuultS hIu HlNtcAlkdNlOhs nm y
what ! call a practical testimonial. Count
Chambrun was the mar who poured 81 ,OCO,-
600 Into the Muses Social, you know.
we modelled the League for Social Ser
vice on the Musee Social. WOULDN'T mlnd
seeing some American millionaire manu-
~facturer model his ideas OF philanthropy
on those Of the Count Chambrun.
THAT musee il a great thing, and its
hold In France is strengthening RAPIDLY.
IL was started to keep all the economic
interest fostered by the Exposition from
stopping with a bang when the Exposition
closed. You may say what you please
about France, but she's the nation OF ideas.
She usually originates the ideas and turns
them over 10 the other nations TO be worked
out: but she has been working out the
musee scheme very efectually herself.
sSay that some workingmen in the south
OF France want 20 form a labor union
They send to the Musec Social and a dele
gate r. sent 10 advise the men. 90 help them
10 organize, TO put them on n rational basis
Cant you see what a chance IL " for the
richer classes TO get into touch with the
the professional agi,ator, the walking
delegate. II holds tho balance between
employer and employed. II aims 20 bring
about economic sanity.
that's the sort Of thing VI. Mablleau
stands for. He has been invited 20 leo
ture about II while he Is here ana " gong
20 deliver lectures before the Chamber Of
Commerce here and In Boston, At Harvard,
Columbia. Bryn Mawr. Mount Holyoke
and a lot Of other place.
sBryn Maxri' echoed THE SUS reporter
wondenngly.
