MAKE DANCE HALL OF CHURCH,
MRS. THOKAS WOULD REVISE
SOCIAL PRACTICES.
Economy in Human Lives Needed.
Improve Educational and Indus
trial Systems, She Urges.

CHICAGO. February 6.-The Home for
the Friendless is engaged in a three
day celebration of its fiftieth birthday
Mrs. w. l.. Thomas. superint 9ndent of the
Juvenile Protective League, in an address
to the officials OF the home on the care
of children, said:
TEAR up the carpets from the church
floors and then invite the young people
into those church parlors to dance, 10
tryst and to hold their clubs. Then they
will not go to places that are not re-
spectacle.
IF we could realize In the schools that
somebody had rights besides the janitor
we should also be long way toward do
ing away with delinquent children.
THE schools are abstract In their
teachings and the churches are not hui
manized. The systems in both are tradi-
tional and abstract instead Of modern and
practical.
There is conspicuous waste. The In
dustrial system. Is so finished that every
scrap Of every herb and drop of oil Is
made over into products and by-products.
But economy Is not practiced In human
lives
What goes to the rubbish heap in the
factories are the fingers, the broken
spines, the sunken chests and the eyes.
The first thing we need to do Is to care
for the human products and by-products.
IF we improved our Industrial and
educational systems such a thing as a

EGYPTIAN DONKEY BOYS.

dictlon, and great deal Of regret was
expressed that the noblest and NEST in
telligent of animals should be condemned
to pass into Oblivion.
But the contrary has been the case
There are more horses in the United
States today than there ever were before
they are worth more money than they
ever were worth before: they are increas-
ing In numbers and in value, notwith-
standing the electric street cars the
motor wagons and omnibuses, the BIZ
cycles the automobiles and the adoption
OF steam and electricity as a motor power
in farming and in every business and
trade that requires locomotion.
Census of Horses.
The number of horses in the United
States January 1, 1908. was 1892, 900,
and they were worth a total Of 81 .S67,-
go COO. or an average of S93.41 each. Dur
ing the succeeding year, ended January
L, 1883 the number of horses had in
creased to 20640.OOO; their value had
advanced more than 100 millions of dol
lars to the sum S1.374.052,000. and the
average price was 1864, or SOB more
than the previous year.
The average price of horses throughout
the United States for the ten years prev1-
Gus to 1908 was $6O.25 per head, which
shows that they are worth an average
of $3.50 more, Notwithstanding the cir
CuinStdnceS Wnlcn senator's ana OtnerS
have SO mournfully deplored.
Automobiles came into general use more
rapidly during the year 1903 than at any
previous period. but, notwithstanding that
fact, the number and the value Of our
horses increased more rapidly during
that period than ever before. During the
calendar year 1907 the horses increased
245.OOO in number and so 952, 900 in value.
During the calendar year 1908 they in
creased 64S.O0O in number and s106, 522, 600
in value.
Mules More Valuable.
The same can be said Of mules. which
should also be taken into consideration.
because thousands of mules have lost
! their jobs because Of the Introduction
of electricity as a motive power. There
are now in this country 4.O53,OOO mules.
which are valued at $437 .OS2 600, or an
| average of $107.S9 per head; that is about
$12.2 5 more per mule than horses are
| worth This is an increase Of $4,000
mules during the year 1908; $40. 143 600 in
value and cents per head. The increase
in 1907 was SO 600 mules, but in 1905 there
was a decrease in the total value OF
81. 40 per head.
The number of milk COWS in the United
States January 1. 1909. was q, 10000
and they were valued at STOP 945. 600, an
average of 1926 per head. This is an
increase of 526 900 during the previous
year in numbers and $52 SSS. 900 In total
value, or $1.69 per head. Ranch cattle
show a decrease Of $40 in numbers
but an increase In value of 1876, 900
which may be a partial explanation OF
the present size of your butchers bills

Men and Houses.
From the London News.

from the LONDON news.
In all our modern industrial develop
ment there is the note of dehumanized
monstrosity: our millionaires and our
mendicants are like the stunted dwarfs
and topping giants in a fair. We are a
museum OF freaks with no spectators.
and this unnatural spirit breaks out
even in our architecture. Our houses
are either giant houses. like the flats OF
New York. or dwarf houses. like the
villas Of BriXton. That there Is a nor
NAL human size for family house has
been entirely forgotten. But these little
houses beyond Clapham Common car
ried yet a step farther the parallel or
Barnum freaks. for they were semi-de-
tached villas. They were built in the
revolving image ofthe Siamese twins.
The man who lived in such a modern
house or rather half house, was not
isolated. like a brave man, in his family
fortress, nor was he welded into manly
and military community, like a man In a
monastery or a barracks. He was linked
by link of brick as loathsome as the
Siamese link of flesh to one other acct
dental man, generally to man whom he
diSliked.

A Unique Farm.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
Near the town of Jasper a settler has
a farm which probably is unlike any
other in the world. This farm occupies
the tableland on the summit Of a ridge
and Is inclosed with fence which no
animal has ever broken through. It
does not rise above the surface of the
farm, but falls sheer from the edge a
distance of many feet. The man who
homesteaded the tableland had q hard
climb up the face of a cliff to reach the
comparatively level summit. BY blast
ing and drilling the discoverer made q
path by which stock could be brought
UP, and now has horses. cattle and
hogs in his fertile little kingdom. but
no wheeled vehicle has ever been taken
there.

Origin of Common Schools.

Because the early writer's and his
torians of our Republic were of New
England origin, and with most I'M
pardonable pride in their Puritan an
ceStry, the people of our land have
been taught, until recently. that all
that is good in our prosperous Union
had its beginning in New England.
Especially is the common school the
corner stone of New England elo-
quence. Although England has never
had a system OF common schools, ii
has been n very customary habit to
credit the origin OF our common school
system to England and Puritanism.
In the year that Hudson entered
New York Bay. 1909, a body OF men,
since known as the pilgrim
Fathers" scattered and prosecuted in
England, fed for refuge to Holland.
They applied to the Burgomasters OF
Leyden for leave to reside in that
city.
In Holland, the only free country in
the world, the Pilgrims found not only
civil and religious liberty. but they
found the common school, one insti-
tuition as novel as the others to all
but iollanders.
Motley says that Holland was a
( land where every child went to school.
where almost every individual could
read and write, where even the mid
die classes were proficient in mathe-
matics ard the classics. and could
speak two or more modern languages.
and where the whole nation. with but
few exceptions. were producers of
material and intellectual wealth..
And yet so prejudiced is the New
England mind that even the learned
and wise Emerson says, Il praise New
England because it is the country in
TIE world wnere is the freest eXpendi-
tlre for education. We have already
taken, at the planting OF the Colonies
for aught know for the first time
in the world, the initial step = T. Is
thus deciding ct the start the destiny
of this country. Nordens Mag
