Some OF Our Orphan Children Not
Properly Cared For.
W Washington POST


The attention OF the Legislature
of North Carolina is called to the
fact that little children are being
sent from the rescue homes of that
State into other States to be brought
up as servants without any other
supervising agent or legal authority
than their new masters TO look after
them. As servants they are bound
for Il term ~ years, until their SIX
teenth birthdaE and there Is no one
to see TO their we'll being and kindly
treatment.
1t is not difficult 10 imagine that
without some special legal authority
to look out for the welfare OF these
children some OF them might be sub
jected to much suffering and posi-
bly, abuse Not ali OF them are sure
to fall INTO ~: hands OF kindly peO-
20 "h. State OF North Carolina
has very rigid laws regarding the
guardianship of apprentices taken
out of the State, and ii would seem
that the same sort OF WatChfulness
over the interests OF orphaned and
dependent children ought to be exer-
cised. Where the immature child is
forced to serve strangers and to re-
ceive mistreatment without any re
dress except through his own initia-
tive, his condition may approach
something little short of slavery. 1t
is probably true that not more than
one of these servant children in ten
will meet with actual cruelty, but the
exception is sufficient to be guarded
against.
Pennsylvania has laws protecting
orphaned children, apDrenticed to
masters, from ill-treatment. and the
State Of North Carolina might do
we'll TO look into Pennsylvania laws
upon the matter"

Commissions Object.

The object Of the Commission on
country life, therefore, is not to help
the farmer raise better crops, but to
call his attention to the opportunities
for better business and better living
on the farm If country life is to be-
come what it should be, and what
believe it ultimately will be-one Of
the most dignified, desirable and
sought-after ways Of earning a living
the farmer must take advantage
not only for the agricultural knOwl-
edge which is at his disposal, but of
the methods which have raised and
continue to raise the standards of liv
ing and of intelligence in other call
ings.
Those engaged in all other indus
trial and commercial callings have
found it necessary, under modern
economic conditions, to organize
themselves for mutual advantage and
for the proptection of their own par
ticular interests in relation to other
interests.
Now, whatever the State may do
| toward improving the practice of ag-
| riculture, it is not within the sphere
of any government to reorganiZe the
| farmers business or reconstruct the
social life of farming communities.
1t is, however, quite within its power
| 10 use its influence and the machin-
cry of publicity which it can control
for calling public attention to the
needs and the facts. For example
it is the obvious duty of the Govern
ment to call the attention of farmers
to the growing monopolization of wa
ter power. The farmers above al
should have that power, on reason
able terms, for cheap transportation,
for lighting their homes, and for in
Vulnerable uses in the daily tasks on
the Sarm.
Where Country Life Fails.
1t should be idle t, assert tna;
life on the farm occupies as good q
