pr. Hirsch's Address.

Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch of Chicago spoke as follows
 There is suggestive significance in the circumstance that this conference is a close second to that convened during the past 12 months in this city and also at the instigation of the President for the purpose of considering what measures ought to be devised to put an end to the thoughtless waste of this nation na- tural resources. Our solictude is not for iron and timber and coal and game. The drain which we depore and which we would end is in human values infinitely more precious than minerals and food products. If the study of man by man is the noblest of all intellectual pre-occu- patons, it is always the last in the hier- archy of the sciences. True civilization . cannot be measured by the condition of, the strongest. The weak are the true barometer indicative of the altitude at tained by the race.
 Our concern today is for that weak ness which Is incidental to childhood and results from circumstances in the cv,ation of which the children certainly had no share"

RooseveIt,s Address.

The President spoke in part as follows:
 There can be no more important sub ject from the standpoint of the nation than that with which you are to deal, be- cause when you take care of the chil- dren you are taking care of the nation of tomorrow, and it is incumbent upon ev- cry one of us to do all in his or her power to provide for the interests of those children whom cruel misfortune has han dicapped at the very outset of their lives.
 There are half dozen different types of children for whom we need to care. There is first of all the complete orphan, the child who has lost both father and mother For this child we wish to make permanent provisions. My own belief is that the best kind of permanent provision, if feasible, is to place that child in home. We then have to meet the case -one of the most distressing of cases where the father has died, where the bread winner has gone, where the mother would like to keep the child, but simply lacks the earning capacity. Surely in such a case the goal towards which we should strive is to help that mother so that she can keep her own home and keep the child in it; that is the best thing poS- sible to be done for that child. How the relief shall come, public, private, or by a mixture of both, in that way, you are competent to say, and am not

Least Resistance.

In the caring for dependent children Dr. Hirsch pointed out that "the line of least resistance was followed. Institutions were built and equipped to which dependent children were sent without thought of or inquiry into the possibility of another and better way. In morals the line of least resistance is never the first but always the last that ought to be chosen. Child hood is too sacred a possession and too mighty a potentiaity to be handled on the ready-made plan. The best of in- stitutions cannot take account of per sonality. They deal with inmates. Dis cipline of military rigor is absolutely in- dispensable. The inmates are of neces- sity trimmed and turned into automatons. The result is the institutional type Seg- regation of the young into a class is al- ways beset with peril to their morality. Asyums and orphanages of necessity are organized on a plan which is not that of the world which sooner or later their proteges have to re-enter. The plight of those sent out is similar to tiAt of the immigrant from another country.
 The Basic Rock.
 "As now constituted the basic rock on which society rests is the home, the fam fly, the structural cell. It seems thus a very queer proceeding first to unhome the young when later they will have to do their part in society fou>ded on the home and rooted in the family
 "The cottage plan was devised to meet the shortcomings of the preceding institu- tional method; but the number constitut- ing the various cottage households is far in excess of the normal and poor sub
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-01-26
Temporary Separation.

"Then we come to the case of the child who must temporarily be taken away from the perent or parents, but where 1t is not desirable that the separation should be permanent. These children offer cases for which the institution is peculiarly fitted. There are other problems. of course, that you will have to deal with flor instance, the crippled child, the child that cannot be treated at home for a disease, but yet can be completely cured in a hospital; and the case of the child whose parents are hopelessly vicious or hopelessy inefficient. Here, we must pro- vide for the exercising of the greatest wisdom obtainable in knowing just where to draw the line.
 The government can do much. But never forget that the government cannot do everything. Remember always that government is not merely an abstract term. The government consists of the men in it, and if you do not save the right men handling any part of great governmental system then that part will work badly. In the last analysis, the hu- man equation is the vital equation in dealing with all these questions. The wit of a man cannot devise a system so perfect that 1t will work unless it is worked by men both good and wise and unless outsiders, who take a genuine in- terest in the matter, also give their aid and exercise their supervision
