Mixed Help for a Good Cause.

An important though not an over
whelming city need is emphasized
in the estimates of the Inspector of
Plumbing, just received by the Dis
tTict Commissioners 1t is the es-
tablishment of public baths, special
ly designed and located for instruct
ing our school children in swim
ming. As Mr.. Davis urges forcibly,
not only is the need recognized else
where. but in practically all the
larger foreign cities and in about
twenty-five other American cities it
has been found entirely practicable
and in every sense profitable to
meet it out o. the public purse.
The suggestion is a fitting corol-
larry to the establishment of play
grounds. Public baths and public
breathing spaces are intcrlocked ne
cessities in the modern city. Even
for the children of weIl-to-do pa
rents the playground justifies itself
by giving the mind and heart I'M
conscious training; and for this
same class the public bath would
prove it's benefit by developing
youth who either swim badly or
cannot swim at all into men and
women, dependable, self-reliant, and
confident while in the water. No
private bath can perform this ser
vice any better than n private play
ground can offer the communal ben
efits of public Fairgrounds.
But the children Of well-to-do pa
rents are not the only ones to con-
slider, even in weu-to-do Washington.
We have about 1000 child residents
of our miserable alleys. We have
probably twice as many who live in
dwellings not much better suited
to the development of physical and
moral cleanliness than our alley
houses. Above that number we
have, perhaps, 5000 who need in
struetion in keeping clean. All in
all, it is not unreasonable TO as
sumo that there are about 10000
children in Washington who need
public baths as indispensables to a
proper appreciation of bodily clean
illness.
So good a cause needs no sustain
ing in the form of undertaking
other movements for the healthful
development of our children. When,
therefore. Inspector Davis wrote
into a formal report to his supe-
riors such things as this: that the
teaching of swimming in the public
schools is a more useful part of
the curriculum than gardening,
which knowledge nine-tenths of the
pupils will never USE" he not only
overstepped all the bounds of tact
and ordinary official courtesy, but
needlessIy prejudiced a practical
and worthy cause.

The Farmer Comes to Town.

y weather vane and a magnifying
glass have lately directed attention
anew to the changing status of the
American farmer The first is a
protest from a club Of farm own
ers in New York; the second, a re-
port to a Chicago newspaper of the
effect of interurban trolleys on the
rural life of the Middle West. Both
point anew moral that ought now
10 be familiar-that the Industrious
American farmer is at least not
worse off than the industrious
worker in the American city.
In four of the richest counties of
the Empire State the "Reubens"
have founded what they call the
Central New York Farmers Club. A
proposal to hold a convention ito
take cognizance of the condition of
the farmers of that State" came to
their attention. Whereupon the ex-
ecutive committee made public a
statement to this effect:
That they did want cognizance
taken. That within the past few
years the drift of population has
been from the cities to the country
districts. That their land is stead
lily rising in price, not depreciating.
That their produce yields them
from a fourth to a third more than
fifteen years ago. That there are
no abandoned farms in the State of
New York. Finally, that they edo
not want to be Petted, patronized,
or made political capital Of"
Surely it is no stretch of the ia
miliar smile to call that a weather
vane as TO the sentiment among the
tillers of the soil.
The mere scope of the trolley re-
porter's trip is impressive. The
traveller went from the Office of the
Chicago Tribune and rode more
than 900 miles on interurban cars in
Illinois alone. Every detail of full
equipment Nctc 1 uIuisAtu MIN IN the

Yet the other passengers were of
more interest even than the roads.
There were boys going into town
10 dances, the theater, and lectures.
Not only the boys, but the "old
man" went. In the afternoons the
women of the farm, hitherto the
very type of loneliness, rode to the
stores, TO make visits, to expand
their lives by indulging the thous-
and interests which make healthful
femininity. The gawky country
