A Beautiful SoIiIoquy

The recent death OF King Oscar OF

soliloquy on the Autumn OF Life. writ

as follows
MANS life has it's seasons of spring,
summer and autumn, but the spring
may have in 1t touch of autumn or a
touch OF winter. Sorrow may change
morn to evening or spring into fall.
The tree Of life, blasted by lightning,

we, who grumble when the world goes
wrong and rail, In ingratitude, at the
wise DEGREES Of Providence, should re-
member the promise sown in our hearts
of resurrection-of another sprln after
life's autumn ard the winter of the

Suggestion of Radical Plans TO
Check Crime

~~h%(h SAAhtC
A recent dispatch from Chicago,
in reporting a meeting in that
city of physicians, lawyers and
philanthropists to discuss Grim
nology, says:
A symposium on the treatment
of the criminal and other social
parasites was held by the Physi.
cians' Club of Chicago and the
Law Club, and these two theories
were advanced:
"Eliminatlon of criminal child
rem by sterilization.
Treatment Of criminals over
thirty years old as habitual, and
either send them 60 penal institu
tions for life or put them away in
some other manner, possibly by
DEATH"
DR.. William T. Belfield was the
advocate of the sterilization idea.
Ee took up the biological aspect of
the criminal and, after tracing
the development Of the individual
to the point where he became a
danger to society, said:
"Morality is the arrest of the
instincts by intellect. A child IS
a savage. II he continues to i'm
prove slowly, he has chance to
outgrow his tendencies before he
is Thirty. Before that he should
be given all the care possible.
"But when man commits a
crime after thirty he may be set
down, rs a rule, to be m orally
bad, with no hope of improve.

would advocate permanent segre-

To Transport Children to School


There is growing sentiment il
parts of Virginia favorable to the
transportation of children t.
school, thereby reducing the
nun Der of schools and ID con.
sequence increasing the efficiency
of those thus concentrated. Or
this subject the Clifton Forge Re.
view has the following to say:
"The plan to provide transportation
for school children from their homes
to school and return is growing in pop
ularity and the chances are that this
will be adopted all over the State before
many years pass away. Last year in
Virginia 256 children were carried to
school by wagons and this year the mum
Der has increased to 1000. This meth.
cd, 1t is believed, will reduce the mum
Der of schools and make those in use
larger and better. 1t will also increase
attendance, for the children who have
to walk muddy roads and through bad
weather cannot use this an excuse to
stay at home and thus neglect their
studies. There appears to be gener-
al awakening for better education in
Virginia and the transportation o.
children appears to be one OF the latest
and best features. Wherever this new
plan has been tried 1t has been found to
work to good advantage, at one place
in the State alone the attendance being
almost doubled. Let the good work go
on.n
