Postum Cofee:s
Ever since / remember had used coffee
three times cay. 1t had a more or less injurious
effect upon ALL and i myself suffered almost

mothers congress will be received by the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt The recep-
ton is by card, and Only those counter
signed properly will be accepted at the
White House doors She also announced
that. President Roosevelt will address the
congress tonight, his subject being the holt
ness of the marriage tie, the beauty of
mother love and the menace to the nation
of neglected children. 1t is known that the
President feels very deeply on this subject.
and the members of the congress say they
are expecting a very strong address.
One of the most important papers present
ed to the congress this morning was the re-
port of the committee on dependent, de-
fective and delinquent children, made by
Hastings Fl. Hart. LII. D., superintendent
of the Illinois Chidren's Home and Aid So
ciety. He said that in view of the great
number of subjects pressing upon the at
tention of the congress the committee had
confined its report to the advantages and
disadvantages of the placng-out system"
and explained that the placing sys-
tenn means the plan of placing dependent
and delinquent children in family homes to
be brought up, In contradistinction to the
institution system of bringing up chill
dren to young manhood and womanhood in
orphan asylums chidren's homes or other
institutions. The committee believes that
the placing-out system has many advan-
tages, because they believe it to be the most
natural procedure
The report states how this placing out"
may be done legally in the various states.
In Massachusetts, New Hampshire and
Indiana this authority is exercised by the
state board of charities; in New Jersey
and in the District of Columbia by the
board of children's guardians; in Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Colorado, Kansas and
Rhode Island this authority is placed in
the hands of board of directors of a
state school or state home for depend
ent children. In all these states such
children, after being placed in family
orn ricnI fr, h,y
state or county agents appointed for that
express purpose
The report shows that the pioneer plac-
ing-o society of the United States was
the New York Childrens Aid Society, or
ganized in 1885 by Mr.. Charles Loring
Brace. Up to that time the institutional
plan of bringing up children had pre-
vailed, and the report states, juvenile
crime was spreading with dreadful ra-
pdity. The report goes on to state how
Mr.. Brace took issue with the institu-
tional plan and gathered up children in
car loads. sending them by thousands

Good Templar Lodge Receives Grand
ofacers-The Program.

Perseverance Lodge, No. 2. Independent
Order of Good Templars, met in Scottish
Rite Hall, go Pennsylvania avenue, last
Saturday evening. There was large gath
ering, including delegations from all local
lodges and representatives and their friends
from other jurisdictions. Chief Templar
James H. Dony called to order and presid-
ed during the brief business session
The Grand Lodge officers were present as
official visitors and were received with
honors The chief tenplar gave them well

into the country. Since then the methods
of the New York Childrens Aid Society
have been greatly modified and the super
vision of the distribution of the children
is much more efficient but the placing
out system is still considered best In
conclusion, the report says: For nearly
fifty years a vigorous discussion was car
ried on between the advocates of the in
stitution and the advocates of the plac-
ing-out system; and for a long time their
differences seemed irreconcilable. Ex-
tremists on both sides made rash state
ments. One party declared that the
worst home Is better than the best insti-
tutions,' while the other declared that
the placing out system was a plan to
promote infant slavery
The great arena for this discussion, so
the report states was the National Con-
ference of Charities and Corrections. 1t
was fiercely discussed for years but the
great organization has finally come to be-
lieve that the placing-out system has
many advantages.

Curing the Causes.
ut is no longer question of punish
ment. but of curing the causes of the evils.
Judges have not yet learned that it takes
years to build up character, but we are
progressing. The probation officer helps to
make a normal child and a normal home.
What we can do for the child who breaks
the law and the child in the home is the
problem. In Philadelphia 1.4OO boys were
arrested in one year. Shall we put that
number in our reformatories? They do not
REFORM they ~deform.
THE children for whom we are working
are as our children, only brought up under
different circumstances. There Is no such
thing as incorrigible under twelve years
of age. The children come to me as pro-
baton officer, because they are in crowded
cities, where they meet temptation and
policemen. They have no means of work
ing off surplus energies, and can't even
play ball.
IF you are going to have Juvenile court
let your laws be wise. The child must be
considered as a child, and not as crimi-
nal. 1t should be as in Denver, where the
child is described as in need OF help, and
the judge is for the purpose of lending that
help. Don't let the probation officer be q
politician. Let part of them be women.
and pay them good salaries. There should
be but one object, and that to save the
child. We women must give these boys
ourssympathy and love-
