THE PITY OF 1T.

The charges and counter charges that
are being made against each other by
different officials in the Red Cross So
ciety are sadly perplexing to the mass
OF people who have always believed
that the work of the society was to
mitigate the conditions of war and
not to wage war. Indeed, the organiza-
ton has meant little to the public, for
the work has been everything The
ambulance with it's red cross symbol,
the sweet-faced nurses and the COM
passionate attendance-these are the
details Of the picture that flashes be-
fore the minds eye when mention Is
made of the Red Cross society. OFF,
cialism seemed to have no connection
with it,
All that the public knows Of the
present strife is that the organization
is divided, has been divided for some
time now, and that one side accuses the
other Of using funds, collected for the
practical work, for general expenses.
But it is apt to resent bitterly this
trailing Of the Red Cross banner in the
dust Of petty chickering's and petty
jealousies. Miss Clara Barton, who has
so long been connected with the Red
Cross work and who was largely re-
sponsible for the beginning of that
work, is an old woman. Those who
profess to know something about the
present difficulty ascribe 1t to her I'M
reasOnableness and to her Impotence
Of anything that savors of interference
or control. Whether this be true or
not, it seems a pity that one who has
accomplished such great work as she
has should live to see so much Of the
organization part of the work undone.
Miss Barton herself recently charged
a number of Red Cross people with de-
liberately Matching a plot to wreck the
present society in order that a new one
might be built on it's ruins. Perhaps a
complete reorganization will be the re-
suit of the present investigation. In
view Of the charges that are now being
made of unbusinesslike methods this is
probably the best thing that could
happen to the society. With the Red
Cross restored, the present red tape
unpIeasantness would speedily be for
gotten.

noises produced from the music box
in the stead of music. 1t might not be
fair to prejudice the case of Mrs. Ire

and commanding the services of a
performer on the music box should be
made to pay the piper-and this judg
ment should not be affected by any
suggestion of sympathy for the suffer-
ing relict of the late Mr.. Ireland.

Burton and the Senate.

Now that the state prison yawns for
him, j. r. Burton is entitled to the
full benefit of the fact that he waived
his senatorial privilege, when by in
voking it he could have put off the evil
day for months, and his brother sena-
tors are quite right in taking no pres
ent notice of the verdict of Guilty"
II this verdict is upheld the course Of

THE cHILp,s HiRrHRIGHT.

THE CHILD'S BfRTHRlGHT.
The discussion at meeting Of pub
lie school principals the other day got
down close to the heart of the matter
when 1t said that the disadvantage of
the child of today as compared with
the pupil of the old public school is
that he has no work to do after school
hours He is released from school OBJ
ligat tons, is subject to but loose pa
rental control, has no responsibilities
and does not easily develop character
by Ioafing around the streets.
There is a screw loose somewhere
when we compare this with the other
assertion so frequently made that the
pupils in our schools are being injured
as to health and strained as to mind
by too close application and a verita-
BILE mountain of required studies. But
let that pass for the sake of the vital
truth behind.
The truth is that every child born
and grown to the years approaching
young manhood in a large city is
cheated of his birthright. The country
and its life are the natural prerOgative
Of every young animal, including the
young Of the human race. Nothing can
take the place Of that environment for
the plastic years of growth. Nothing
in future life can compensate for the
loss of it.
They are quite right who insist that
the tasks imposed upon childhood by
life in the country have a steadying
and SOLDERING and a developing effect.
They are right who hold that the
country school, notwithstanding less
cilities, is a better educational instru-
ment than the city school, though the
latter is so greatly superior intrinsical-
ly. They are right who thus almost
despairingly compare the influence
upon life and character of the two
forms of education. And they are be-
ginning to get down to the kernel of
the matter who find the explanation of
this difference in the conditions, not of
education, but of life itself.
The boy belongs in the open spaces
Of the country. 1t Is his right to get
intimate knowledge at first hand Of
the life Of woods and waters, of blow
ing breeZes and the wide and sympa-
thetic heavens. 1t is his birthright to
make playmates of all the things that
live and breathe in natures wide do
main. It is his natural privilege to
saunter far and lonely at times, in
stead Of being hustled and elbowed by
the vices of the street. It is for him to
feel early the gentle but increasing
pressure of life's duties, that grows as
insensibly in the country as flower and
tree themselves. Every essential of
physical and mental development,
every condition Of life clamors, in JUS
tice to the human soul, that the years
leading up to manhood and woman
hood be spent where nature ordained
them.
In our modern life this may not be.
Let US not, therefore, fail to under
stand that the upbringing Of children
and their education mentally and NOR
ally and spiritually in city surround
ings is a necessary evil; and that many
Of our educational problems will be
found unsolvable simply because they
are created by the inferiority and I'M
suitability of the city as compared
with the country for stimulating and
nourishing and developing the life Of
the child.
