acquire the corresponding habit of not
minding it. Let their father speak once
and they jump to obey him. The mother
may order them dozen times, but they
get into the way of thinking that she is
not In earnest until she begins to upbraid
them, and they wait for this signal be-

Her first care in the correction of this
habit Is to control herself Let her give
no order that she does not intend to en-

that she is not competent to train them
in obedience. For scolding is sign of
weakness. 1t indicates that the person

almost beyond comprehension. The capt.

ries and wages paid amounted to 2,735,-
430,848, and the value Of products was
$13, 039, 279, 566. In agriculture the figures
are almost equally impressive. The total

stupendous figures not only with accuracy
but SO swiftly that the record of popula-

the little report of the first census, was
a task of the first magnitude. It was in
deed an evolution.
Such is the modern census. It is
decennial snap shot of the nation for the
benefit of all time. Patrick Henry declar-

his feet were guided-experience But so
important has the study of facts become
that statistics presenting the facts anal

Numbers-Our population in 1900,
not including our insular possessions,
was 76, 303.387 Of this number 10,460,-
oS5 were foreign bo,s and 1856, 1922
were the children of foreign born
parents. Thus every third person in
the United States is either foreign
born or the child of foreign born
parents. Moreover, immigra ton is in
creasing instead of decreasing. 1t has
averaged for the past five years about
10000 week and 1t has been esti-
mated that there will come to us this
year $4,000 foreigners, an average of

Settlements-Th tendency Is to
congregate. Thus our large cities have
their Little Italy" Little Germany
Little Scandinavia" and Chinatown"
Crowded together by the thousands,
they live surrounded by saualor and
confusion and by moral and spiritual
degradation. In our great industrial
and agricultural centers similar condi-
tons exist. In the very heart of such
an American commonwealth as Penn
sylvania entire communities can be
found where foreign languages are
spoken, costumes worn, newspapers
read, political and religious beliefs
held and practiced.
Problems-The question as to how
to handle such an element in our pop
ulation is serious and great These
people must be lifted up or they will

BIG SIGN BOARDS.

It is not probable that these wayside
signs are profitable to their misguided
promoters, as persons with any sense
of taste will not purchase articles thus
extensively brought to their attention,
but that advertisers are not persuaded
of this is evident from the rapid
growth of the nuisance To hide the
signs would certainly make them nn-
profitable and would discourage the
practice.

TO SUPPRESS THEM.

The way in which the railroads may
help to abate the signboard nuisance
is pointed out by the Philadelphia
Press. They could do it by screening
the unsightly boards and thus defeat
ing the purpose of their erection.
Where a railroad owns or controls its
right of way it could plant quick
growing trees like poplars or naples
between the tracks and the signs. The
trees would obstruct the view, of
course, but their green and grace would
be more pleasing than a landscape
fretted with glazing invitations to buy
soap and whisky. Along steam rail-
roads locust trees could be planted,
and these at their maturity would fur
nish frst-class ties at little cost.
