The National Government, as he
points out, is the only agency which
can effectually conduct such inquiries
as are needed as to the conditions of
+ child life In America, and will, II such
department is organized, set good
example to the various State in the

Garner; and the dependent child, the
orphan, the half-orphan or the child
of impoverished or neglectful parents
are all proper subjects of Federal
inquiry.
The Juvenile court, which has been
adopted in many States, has done
much to divert the Young folks from
criminal channels and to impress
parents with sense of responsibility
Child labor laws, where they have
been placed on thestatute-books, have
greatly ameliorated the condition of
the youthful breadwinner. For the
dependent child, who is often public
ward through no fault of his own, we
have not done so much.
These poor little waits have been
cared for by institutions which may
or may not have been we'll managed
and under the jurisdiction of compe-
tent officials They have been "placed
out" and in cases where no rigorous
system of visitation was in effect,
have been sometimes pitllessly ex-

The home is, of course, the best
place for such little ones, either their
own homes, or somebody else's, and If
some means could be found of support
ing them in either, there would be a
diminishing need for public asylum.
1t must be remembered, too, that
the dependent child will some day be
full-grown citizen, and that ne can
be a good citizen or a bad one.
Proper care at the formative period
of his life may keep him from being
the latter, and neglect in this matter
may be fraught with dangerous
consequences es.-Cincinnati Times
