SOCIAL PROBLEMS.
Charming and Picturesque Type
A Battling Social Problem.

term, hacktisch, to specify a girl in her |
very earliest teens. The word means |
literally a fresh fish, just caught but !
unhakcd, though tit and ready for the
process. The girl of this age is indeed |
fresh, unSpoicd wild and natural; and
as there seems to he no single word in
English to denote her. we cannot do bet
ter than borrow this coloquial German
expression.
A Charming and Picturesque Type.
The hacllhSch is one of the most
charming and picturesque of human
types. How bare ana drah life would
be without her blooming checks. thc
Glarug color~ of her costume, her iaring
hradgcar her perky hair ribbons, How
chccrIcsS is the home without her in
constituencies, her whimsical tastes her
frcalliSh appetite. her dreams Of fairy
princes, her first crude affairs OF the
heart, How lifclcsS the streets would
seem without the inccsSant jahbering,
the whispurings as of state secrets the
rippIcS Of laughter of these young misses
on their way home from school.
A Battling Social Problem.
The bnrktisch is no longer q little girl.
nor vet young woman. nor IS she a
composite of the two. She Is "a human
specimen unique and apart. As such she
is one of the great discoveries Of mod
ON psychology. To people IN general
she is uscrutahlc and iucalcumhlc. To
the specialist she is one of the most
battling and intricate human problems
that science has Yet attacked.
This Period Should Be Prolonged
OF this we may hc certain: The back
Gsch Stage of development is the most
| critical stage in feminine life both ply
sically and psych0logically. The conrll
sion of the best modern psychologists is
that this age ought to he prolonged ~
much ms possible The hlossumiug Of the
buds should not he hastrucd; they should
Ice kept MS long us possible in the green
stage. Vet the whole tendency Of modern
civilizations, especially modern city Life,
is 60 shorten this critical period Of de
vclopncut MS much as poSAnl".
The Tendency to Neglect These Girls.
In fact the common tendency of today
seems to he 10 neglect girls of this ag"
almost entirely; We devote all our social
efforts and rrcrcatiunal facilities to the
protection and development of ado
descent boys. The idea is very wide
( spread that girls are weak. innocent,
! harmless creatures. and will grow NJ
! wcn enough If left To- themselves like
wild flowers.
Then. too, most people do not care for
4 their daughters as much as they du foI

Some American cities have already be-
gun to provide the recreation so much
needed by these young girls Boston
has its municipal gymnaslums, cricket
fields and golf Inks. Chicago has seven
teen parks with playing fields. gymna-
Sums and baths. which provide amuse-
ment for thousands of young women
and girls. What is perhaps best of all
rs substitute for saloon dance halls,
these parks are provided with beautiful
halls where properly chaperUned parties
of young people may dance or otherwise
amuse themselves in the evening.
Milwaukee, too, has taken steps in the
right direction with her park play
grounds, swimming casino. uatatoriums.
skating ponds and the opening of some
Of the public school buildings for oven
ing classes and recreation. But we have
only made a beginning, Let all good citi-
Gems take an interest in these matters
and see to il that Justice is done To- our
thousands Of budding girls, with their
need Of play aud innocent fun.
Warning of Jane Adams.
Miss Jane Adams. who can speak so
authoritativoly ON these matters, has re-
! Gently sounded a note Of warming which
we all need 10 heed: Tho discovery of

If Isaac Stephenson is reelected Unit.
ed States senator this week the filing
of his expense account will follow very
shortly. That is the story from inside
sources in Madison. John ii. Puelicher,
cashier of the Marshall x Ilsley bank of
Milwaukee, who acts as fiscal agent for
the senator in political matters, is now
| in Washington comforting with Mr.. Ste
| phenson on the account. The last items
are being appended and when Mr.. Puel-
| icher returns to Milwaukee he will carry
| the completed statement 1t will show
| that Senator Stephenson spent little
less than $4,000. it will not Ego into
| close detail but will, nevertheless, be

was spent in various counties toward or
ganization, etc.

Chairman Z. A. Edmonds, who managed
the senator's primary campaign and

Opinions from Washington
Mr.. Edmonds and other friends of the
senator at Madison have received a

to prove that the senator actually has

that the decentralization was complete" This he
did in obedience to orders. and adds: Such interest
the matter has is historical and for
the first time make public part. and only a
part. of what learned in that month Of May. 1853 '

highly respected families and the idea OF working

DIR. ELIOT ON HAPPINESS.
Al Hare Equal Chance, He Tells
Missouri Graduates.

Columbia, Mo, June 2.-Charles ". Eliot, former
president Of Harvard University delivered the prin
cpal address at the commencement exercises of
the University of Missouri to-day. The class was
the largest in the history of the institution num-
berfng 47S DR.. Eliot said in part
The most valuable element in a feasible equality
is equality before the law and all agents of the
and this element Is precious just because II tends
to make the pursuit of happiness free and secure.
The American democracy, which should make the
pursuit of happiness free and secure to all is far
from having accomplished this result.
1t can do so, however. without seeking to estab-
hsh among men a monotonouS, tiresome and un-
natural equality for happiness is fortunately state
of mind quite Independent OF condition regards
wealth the habtual occupation and of mental
gifts It is product of health serviceabeness 10y
atty, security, amiability and a good standing
among ones fellows.
IN democracy all sorts and conditions of men
should be equally free and in pursuit of
such happiness, but all experience proves the
humble. quiet wholesome people whose simple.
dutiful lives VIII not long be remembered, have as
good chance anybody to win IT.
At the end of the address the honorary degree
OF doctor of lays conferred Dr. Eliot by A.
