earn livelihood feel the lack of a
home more than anything else. The
cheap lodging house or the saloon are
the only places open to them. In these
places they meet demoralizing intlu
ences.
Every woman should become per-
sonally interested in some one child iu
an institution. Suppose you 20 out to
Glenwood and meet little boy named
John. we'll say. The next time ecu
go out there speak TO John by name
Let him see that you have remembered
him. Ask him to write to you. and you
write to him. When he comes out of
the institution get your husband u In.
terest himself IN John Get position
for him. Invite him to meal at your
house. Take personal interest In
him A little individual attention to
one boy will do more good than all the
committees that ever went to Glen
wood and. reported how the boys
marched >into dinner ever have done.
Do something practical"
A national court for children, which
will also supervise their education, CO.
equal In power with the supreme court
Of the United States, Its members be-
ing mostly women and under faminine
Jurisdiction, was advocated by Mrs
Corinne Brown of Lagrange. ILL.,, at the
recent reciprocity meeting of the Coun-
ell of Jewish Women at Sinai temple
in Chicago. Presidents Of several Of
the leading women's clubs Of Chicago

Brown represented the Social Econom-

Post
There are three times as many chill
dren in this country as grown people,"
said Mrs. Brown in her address. They
constitute u great, helpless. dependent
class. Ought not their affairs, com
plaints and troubles 10 be as much of
concern to the nation as those of clti-
zens who have reached their majority
/ propose that the government estab-
lish court at Washington to deal
with the wrongs against children and
their education. 1t should be composed
mostly Of women, because they can
deal with these situations far better
than men.
1T should have fully as much pow
er as the supreme court Its decisions
should be final, SO that no appeal
against them would be possible. Un-
der present conditions employers and
factory owners when brought TO &C
count for unhealthful and slavish con-
ditons among their young employees
can appeal TO a higher court and by
skiIlful legal manipulations of the stat
utes escape from all penalty and con-
tinue their law breaking methods.
THE government should establish a
great system OF education under the
Jurisdiction of this court Primary.
grammar and high schools and public
universities would be included within
it's scope. wish to lay stress on the
fact that we need public universities
where tuition is absolutely free, max.
ing them advanced high schools. The
present privately endowed system is
deplorable.
"The report of the national educa-
uonal bureau for 1903 shows that only
one-tenth Of / per cent Of $4,000. 600
who enter the primary schools gradu-
ate from the universities. This means
that only this one-tenth Of per cent
is receiving fair md Just treatment
from society Those chosen few. In
spite of their far superior wisdom, are
. homage In the government Of the
country, the ignorant masses, with
power Of numbers. being the rulers.
According to the report. 11.00o, 900
Of the 100000 drop ont Of school on
reaching fourth grade. and only B.000.-
900 enter high school. There are 1,70o.-
900 children Mt work under the age Of
fifteen years"
