Importance of the Child.

Prof Felix Adler, In his address be-
fore the National Child Labor Con
vention at Cincinnati on "The Atti
tude of Socety Towards the Child as
an Index of Civilization" pointed out
that, historically, there have been
three views of the child in society
There is the primitive view which
regarded the child as the essential
factor in the system Of ancestor wor
ship; the later view, which made him
the inheritor and continuator Of the
family honors and prerogatives; and
the modern view, which looks upon
the child as SO much living material
for the society Of the future. The
classification serves as basis for the
protest against the wastage of child
life under the present system of pro-
duction. Essentially, however, the
three historical views are identical, in
chat they agree in looking upon the
child as bearing within himself the
seed of the ideal future, whether that
ideal be to live in extra.terrestrial
bliss and in the memory of man. or
the feudal ideal of family, or tho
contemporary altruistic ideal OF the
perfect state. and it is by no means
certain that the last ideal is not the
hardest on the child. 1t is not only
that some of us, in the name of prog
ress, are content to send the child
into that industrial slavery against
which Prof. Adler pleads his case,
lays the New York Post: but that
most Of us, in recognizing the high
mission of the young, persist in plac.
Ing on their tender shoulders a heavy
burden OF responsibility. II we were
Observation-Disclosures or medieval
barons. we should be quite content to
leave our children In undisturbed en-.
joyment of their right to liberty and
the pursuit of happiness: since in
merely being they would fulfill their
purpose. But the modern child must
not be left alone. because there is no
such thing as child In the same
sense that there is cat or pony
or n picture-book. He is a potential
ity;" and there are pedagogical prin.
ciples.

Many Prominent Citizens Weld
shovels on First Wagon Load Of
Earth.
Denyer.-With short and informal
ceremony the breaking of ground for
Denyer's new auditorium took place
Thursday. The crowd gathered at
Fourteenth and Curtis streets at 10
O'Clock. Laborers to the number Of
100 were on hand, and there were forty
teams.
Governor H. A. Buchtel, Mayor r.
w. Speer and President A. j. Spengel
of the Chamber of Commerce each
possessed himself OF shovel and be.
gan the good work. They cast numer.
GUS shovelfuls Of dirt into wagon.
and were so energetic about 1t that
they soon became exhausted and
stepped back to permit other officials
and prominent citizens to take an ao
tive part in the ceremony, many OF
whom did so with great alacrity.
The street was filed with automo'
biles and wagons, while large crowd
of people surrounded the wagon into
which the first load of dirt was thrown,
Governor Buchtel delivered a short
address. He said, in part:
"This is an occasion in which tafs
great pleasure. | am fattered to haS
the opportunity of being present. I've
been told that there were three things
| might do-deliver set address, tell
stories, or shovel dirt. l think I'll tell
stories.

This man had the enthusiasm Of draw
ing projected railroad lines, stretching
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. from
the Isthmus of Panama; from Denver
to Bering strait and over the strait tc
Siberia on gigantic imaginary bridge
And Denver. he said, was at the very
center Of this gigantic railroad system
He was a booster. The only reason,
he did lot make that system greater
was that there were no more contt

time when an enthusiast said that In
twenty-five years Denver would have
grown so large that 1t would push Chi
cago into Lake Michigan, and on the
same day tumble San Francisco into
the Pacific. You're all right, all right
said the governor. but 1t won't take
any twenty-five years."
Mayor Speer said that the building
would make Denver the greatest con
vention city In America, and that the
people OF Denver would be proud oi
their new auditorium.
President Spengel spoke OF the
ability OF Constructor Schleuter ol
Chicago to carry out his agreements
and believed that the auditorium would
be finished In thirteen months. NJ
Schleuter had promised.
