There are three times as many chill

constitute great. helpless, dependent
class. Ought not their affairs com
plants and troubles to be as much Of
concern u the nation as those " citi-
gems who have reached their majority?
| propose that the government cstab-
lish a court at Washington II 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
or az the supreme court. It's decisions
should be final, so that no appeal
against them would be possible Tn
der present conditions employers and
factory owners when brought to az
count for unhealthful and siaviSA con
ditions among their young employees
can appeal to Il higher court and by
skillful legal manipulations Of the stat
time 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
its scope. wish to lay stress on the
fact that we need public universities
where tuition is absolutely freq max
ing them advanced high schools The
present privately endowed system IS
deplorablc.
THE report Of the national educa-
tional bureau for 1903 shows that only
one-tenth Of l per cent OF 1GOOO.OOO
who enter the primary schools gradu-
ate from the universities. This means
that only this Onc.tenth Of per cent
is receiving fair and just trru tmrnt
from society. Those chosen few, in
spite Of their far superior wisdom. are
homage i'll the government Of the
country, the ignorant masses. with
power Of numbers being the rulers.
"AccOrdng to the report, 1l.OoD.OOO
of the 100000 drop ont Of school on
reaching fourth grade. and only 1000
600 enter high school. There are 100
600 children at work under the age of
fifteen years"
