FLAT HUNTING

Ine story or the Brooklyn woman
who made herself i'll hunting for fiat
In which she could live with her chill
dren is extremely pathetic. There are
now very few flats or apartments any
where in which children will be taken.
While to the family man this seems
like. hardship, and he is often per-
picked as to ways and means of hous-
ing his children, to the childless couple
who live In apartments, the rule Is
simple humanity. With every inten-
ton of building flats so that noises
cannot penetrate from floor to floor, In
reality thereSare few apartment build
ings in which the walls are success
fully deadened, and the noises made by
children are destructive Of the peace
not only of their own family, but of
those unfortunate enough to live above
or below. This Is true, too, Of pianos
in apartment houses. The discordant
jangle which is the result of a sudden
desire to play on the part Of those
above and below at the same time, is
sometimes responsible for cases of
nervous prostration for the women who
live in the middle flats.
The Brooklyn woman tramped all
day and found no place for her chill
dren in fats, and now she is ill from
her Intellectual labors. The obvious
result Of the refusal of apartment
house owners to take children, while
it makes much trouble for few, is in
reality going to work for the greatest
good Of the greatest number. Flats
are no places for children. A fiat is
not in reality a home At best it is a
substitute. In one sense it is the legiti-
mate result of the tremendous rush of
American life and offers to the hur-
ried modern mind the maximum
amount of home comfort. with the min
imum of housekeeping effort. 1t is liv-
ing made easy.
Flat living for childiess couple, or
for a family composed entirely of
grown-up persons, is ideal. But 1t is
cramping and demoralizing for chill
dren, who for the sake of the other ten
ants are forced into the streets for a
playground. The result is not to be
wondered at. Street associations do
not make well-mannered or good chill
dren, but it is not the rule that forces
them to it which is at fault, but the
blame is to be laid on the parents who
prefer the easy life Of a fiat to the
small house in the suburbs with its
plot of ground requiring more care and
effort. Right here in ST. Paul the
small house, which can be rented at
fifteen or twenty dollars month, is
sorely needed. For lack of 1t families
are being driven into flats where the
associations for their children are not
always of the best. For in ST. FauI
there are still a few fat buildings
where children can live, although the
rule against them is being more and
more strictly enforced.
If the action of the owners of apart
ments in taking only childless families
brings about reaction against the
crowding into cities. by families from

TO STOP PRoFEssIoNALIsM

The rule adopted by certain college
faculties in the West, that no member
Of college athletic team shall accept
any engagement of any sort whatever
with a professional management dur
ing the summer vacation, Is a good one.
1t applies so far only to baseball play
ers, and orders them to take no part at
all in baseball games outside Of those
in which their own college teams par
ticipate without permission of the ath4
letic boards of control of the respective
universities. and it ought to be made to
apply to every other form of sport. In
addition to this the assurance is given
by the members of the faculties inter-
ested that such permission will not be
granted on any terms to play with pro-
fessionals, whether for money or not
This will not only remove valid
source of dispute, but it sets up a
standard that should never have been
departed from by college players. Every
between different athletic teams over
alleged professionalism. No sooner is a
college game won than allegations be-
gin to come in that some member of
the victorious team has been connected
with professional athletics, should have
been debarred and has forfeited the
victory for his side by this violation of
etiquette and of rule. AS often as not
1t happens that the charge cannot be
established; that the player has merely

cases it is found that some student

prominent in athletics has earned a
little money in vacation by playing.
although never strictly entering the
professional ranks. All these little
niceties can be settled and all these
difficulties swept away only by the ap-
plication of strict and severe general
rule.
Build wall between professional
and professional athletics so high
that no one can climb over it. Pro-
hibit the members of college teams
from playing in association with other
teams than their own on any and all
terms and conditions. Make it abso-
lutte. This is the only safe and fair
rule. The member of a college athletic
organization has the honor of his in
stitution and Of his fellows partly in
his keeping, and 1t is his business to do
nothing to injure either. AS condition
Of the honor that makes his place so
desirable he can afford to surrender
the trifiing privilege of playing at any
time when his own team is not en-
gagged.
This will put an end to all possibility
of dispute, will take the place Of trou-
blesome definitions, and will also tend
to make the members of university
athletic teams more sensible OF the
dignity and honor that ought to go
with the place. We believe that college
sport will be greatly benefited by the
adoption Of this rule, which is in line
with the old general policy that must be
followed of separating arbitrarily and
absolutely college and professional ath-
letics-

WHAT TO DO WITH HIM

This week the small boy will be
abroad in the land and the question of
what to do with him Is not easily an
swered. His school days for the year
are now over and for two months and
a half he must be kept amused, ap-
peased and occupied. 1t is his vaca-
tion, therefore he must be allowed some
license, but to strike the happy me-
dium between proper amusement and
unlawful idleness is the problem that
the parents of boys have to face just
now.
The amazing lawlessness Of the small
boy in larger cities. especially New
York, is occupying the attention OF the
police and municipal authorities. The
number Of arrests of boys under twelve
in the last few months has increased
alarmingly everywhere, and those who
have the best interests of the young at
heart are much perplexed by this sud-
den outbreak of infant rebellion.
Things have become so bad In New
York that special police have to be sta
toned where boys congregate to pre-
vent the stoning Of passers-by Auto
mobilists seem to be the particular OBJ
ject of boyish spleen, and recently a
woman was seriously injured and sew
eral men hurt by the missiles thrown
by vicious youths. The age Of the Of
tenders is what has made the problem
such difficult one to solve, as they
are too young to imprison and punish
in the ordinary manner. The most
hardened boy of all those who have re-
Gently made SO much trouble and done
so much damage in New York, is an
infant bandit Of four who glories in
his deviltry and leads other and larger
youths in lawlessness. Similar stories
Of bad boys come from all the large
cities, and St. Paul has its quota Of
Juvenile offenders who gather in the
streets during the evening and manage
to make night hideous for those who
reside in the vicinity of their meeting
places.
This week and the one coming will
see thousands of boys turned loose for
their annual vacation in this city. If
their parents do not wish them to be-
come street hoodlums they must con-
stantly watch and admonish them.
There is too much evidence now of
infant Generalization in the man.
ners of boys in public places, street
cars. theaters and on the street. The
behavior of some Of the children in
the cars going to see the Liberty bell
was such as to give many persons a
very poor impression of their up bring
ing and school training They were
noisy. rude and impertinent.
The best thing to do with boys dur
ing vacation is to put them to work
part of the day. There is much that
can be done about the house in sum-
mer, such as cutting grass and taking
care Of the grounds. which will not hurt
the boy ana will make him enjoy all
the more an afternoon at baseball or
other games. Particularly will it be
well for parents to keep their boys
close to them this summer, as there
seems to be wave OF Juvenile rebel
lion sweeping over the country. All
work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy, but all play and no work makes
Jack a bad boy.
