Imnortance ~ ths chlid-

Prof Felix Adler, in his address be-
fore the National Child Labor Con-
vention at Cincinnati on "The Atti-
tude of Society 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 a 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
that 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 the
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,
says 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 heavy
burden of responsibility. If we were
observation-disclosures or medieval
barons, we should be quite content tic
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 hes left alone, because there is nc
such thing as child in the same
sense that there is cat or pony
or picture-book. He is a potential
ity;" and there are pedagogical prin
ciples.

It is to be noted that exact informa-
ton is sadly lacking in these maritime

the fact that one-third the space OF

And thunder roaring in the skies.

sing the Brave Old Oak" before ali
the boys of the house. If they sang
to the satisfaction of the house they

 No event in the civil history of the eetsz2s529 had ever before oc- cured to so arouse public an tpathies and public indignation against any man, says a chronicle. and these conditions found special vent in the city of Washington, as the capital of the nation, as it had become during the trial the focal point of the politically dissatisfied element of the entire country. It's streets and it's places of gathering had swarmed for many weeks with representatives of every state in the union, demanding in a prac- tically united voice the deposition of the president
 It was amid these exciting scenes that the vote was taken. AS the roll call proceeded, Grimes was the first non-committed Republican name to be reached. He voted "not guilty The next non-committed senator's name on the list was Henderson. He, too, Voted "not guilty
