The Care of Mount Vernon.

10 the fClIOf OF j ne STAR.
It seems strange. great, powerful and
magnanimous people as we are. that We
should so singularly neglect a plain duty
which ought to be a hallowed privilege, in
the purchase by the people Of the home
and tomb of George Washington, that the
ashes of the founder of this great re-
public might have the perpetual care
of the government, the creation of his
own mighty genius
When we consider how much this i'm
mortal character has done for us in the
founding Of the institutions out of which
so much has grown in the past century
and a quarter. and how little we are do
ing In practical way for all that remains
of his mortal being. we ought to feel
If we have the proper sense of justice
within us, like hiding our faces in shame
For some strange reason We seem never
to think how much it is possible fol-
this country to do at SO small as cost
in caring for the ashes of the founder OF
all our greatness instead of intrustins
this sacred duty of the nation to a corpor-
alton which either for profit or from
necessity, it matters not. is making mer-
chandise Of the most sacred spot in the
western hemisphere.
Indeed what humiliation and sense OF
shame have good, genuine Americans
been compelled to experience in the eX-
PLANTATION Of questions asked by men high
| in the councils of foreign governments
who have come to pay tribute of respect
| to the tomb of the immortal founder Of
human liberty and how these patriotic
Americans have blushed for their people
as they observe the depressing effect
their Information has had upon their dis
tinguished questioner.
| How long this condition of affairs will
continue is a matter determineable by
the people Of this country. Congress
| shows no disposition to act. and as lone
| as the people remain passive in regard tC
| this respect, Mount Vernon will continue
| to be owned by a corporation with nc
adequate means of properly protecting its
sacred precincts from Dissertation and
make his collections from all who seel
| to enter it's gates and the situation viii
continue to grow more and more EN-
barraSS as time continues.
AS the years go by and the institutions
| of government founded by George Wash
ington are better understood and more
appreciated, lovers of human liberty from
every part of the world will come ir
greater numbers to the tomb of the i'm
mortal patriot. and thus the pilgrimages
to the mecca of the western continent will
ever increase.
Let the government acquire Mount
Vernon. that all who wish shall be able
to stand before the sarcophagus contain
| ing the sacred dust of the immorta
patriot. without being compelled to pay d
tax for the privilege. and that the care
| of these ashes shall be placed in the
keeping of those fully capable of pro.
| tecting them for all time.

Australia's children's Department.

To the Editor of The Star:
The President has recommended the es-
Establishment of a federal children's bu-
reau." Perhaps all of your readers are
not aware that in Australia there has
been for several years state children 8
department. From all that I can learn
I do not think that the work Is as broad
in it's scope as would be that Of such a
bureau as President Roosevelt suggests.
The Australian department was created
primarily for the purpose of lessening
the rate of infant mortality. AS a re-
suit of the work done by this depa rtment
the deaths among children have been re-
duced one-half.
One fruitful cause Of dependency is
blindness. The President calls attention
to the necessity of an effort to eradicate
causes of dependency" 1t is interesting
to note that while most of our states
mot alb make some provision for the
care of the blind, New Jersey is the
only state that has taken any measures
to prevent blindness.
When we remember that the Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals
antedates the Society for the Prevention
or Cruelty to Children by several years
we are not surprised to hear that there
are seventeen states which make no pro-
vision for the care and protection Of de-
pendent children.
The President justly regrets the lack
of recognized and authoritative sources
of information on subjects relating to
child life" But, after all, it is not SO
much the lack of a source of informa-
ton as the lack of interest on the part
of the public that should be blamed for
the terrible wrongs inflicted upon child
hood.
The corner stone Of all man-made law
is human selfishness. Charters and
grants of privilege are not the generous
gifts of the ruler to the people, but un-
willing concessions to the might. not the
right. Of the many.
So necessary is 1t that a question must
become a personal one before interest
| awakens, that there is. little cause for
wonder that the bitter cry of the chill
dren' has been so long unheeded.

the passage of the fleet around their
coasts and that the presence of the ships
