Program of Conference.

THE program for the July conference,

Stanley Hall on What Child Study has
Contributed to Social and Educational
Progress.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-03-12
To Confer About Children.

A national conference of the people who
are interested in the welfare of children
will be held at Worcester. Mass, in the
hall of Clark University, beginning June
nS and closing July ,. \ similar confer
ence was held at the same place last July
as the result of Il general interest VIII m
has been awakened throughout the coul-
try in various phases of the child prob
lem. The president of the organiZatiO
is President G. Stanley Hall of Worces-
ter Among the vice presidents are Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt Mrs Emmons Blaine
of Chicago. Mrs. r. NJ. La Toilette the
wife of the senator from Wisconsin,, Gift
ford Pinchot Judge Ben Lindsey. of Den
yer, DR.. Charles Warren Stiles of Wash
ington. who discovered the lazy worm,
ard others equally interested in the sub
jec..
Dr. Hall is the leader in the movement
and has undoubtedly conducted more
studies of children than any other man
in the world. He is universally conceded
to be the Father of Child Study" in the
scientific sense. He is ably assisted by
DR. Henry S. Curtis of Washington. VINO
has been identified with the children $
playground movement for several years
and is known for his energy in organizing
charities and benevolences.
DIR. Curtis said the other day, in eX-
planning to me the objects of the confer
ence:
THE unique thing about this organiza-
ton is that its interests are grouped
around the unity of the child, rather than
around any particular phase of its ma
ture. At tie first meeting last year rep
resentatives of thirty-three child-helping
organizations were present, and it is eX-
pected that there will be q still larger
representation this year. 1t is the pur-
pose of the conference to bring these or
sania ztions closer together and enlist the
cooperation of every other organization
in the United States that is interested
in the welfare of children and the re-
search concerning child life, so that the
maximum of good may be accomplished
with a minimum of effort. We want such
results as the great trusts have won
through their cO-opeiation.

Summary of Work.

The first volume of the proceedings
was published during the winter. is prob
ably the best summary of the whole
field of child welfare to be found any
where, and II is expected that this is 90
ing to be one of the chief advantages Of
each conference hereafter. 1t furnishes
useful information to organizations which
have the welfare of children at heart as
to methods; il enables people who are
engaged in such work to become ac-
,uainted with each other; it permits All
exchange of experiences. and it offers
the easiest way for the general public to
keep in touch with the movement.
THE second idea that the conference
stands for is to bring scientific and prac-
teal workers into closer touch. Clark
University. under DIR. Hall, has been con-
Quoting a series of studies of children
extending over a period of years and
number of other universities. but the re-
suits of these Investigations have not
found their way into the popular maya
zines and newspapers. and the public
know very little about them. At the con-
ferences each year we hope to lmmariZe
the best of the practical Investigations
and the progress that has been made. so
that everybody can understand better the
problems in need Of investigation, and
the workers may have the benefit of the
latest scientific thoughts and practical
experience.
BESIDES the national conference. we
intend to organize local conferences i'm
the different states and cities. SO as to
secure unified and simultaneous attack
upon the child problem by we'll or
ganized cooperation of all the forces
that are interested in child welfare.

NUMBER PLEASURE SEEKERS.

Owners and operators of the excur-

now engaged in quite a rate war, so
far as the passenger business is con-
Cerned, and the widest interest has
been excited in steamboat circles and
along the bay front to see just what
will the termination of the differences
amount to.
The first cut Of consequence, and
one that caused quite lot Of specula-
ton, was made yesterday, when it was
announced that the steamer Monarch
would take passengers at ten cents
per head to Santa Rosa Island. This
rate will become operative this after
noon, upon the occasion Of the second
regular excursion Of the week.
The operator Of the steamboat
Beaver, however, insists that he will
not meet that cut with the big boat,
but that he would hold to the rate Of
% cents.

lots have sold for $4,000. yet the average
nrSt-class lot can be rented for seven
years for SIG, or perpetual right obtained
for $50. In the second division this price
is greatly reduced.
Practically all of the graves taken in
the first division are for perpetuity, while
in the second and third the reverse is the
case. When the seven years have eX-
pired on the rented graves. and no re-
newal has been made, all monuments and
marks are removed and the grave leveled
with the ground. A record of the grave
is kept, however, and when fifteen years
have passed from the date of the former
burial it is again rented. 1t is found
that by that time all vestige of the for

In many places inches are made in the
walls surrounding the cemeteries, into
which the bones are placed after the eX-
piratiOn of the seven years. By law all
bodies must be inferred in the ground for
at least this length of time. after which
the bones may be removed from the
grave and placed in a small box or urn.

space alright and the usual lettering

OF tnOSe whose remains are Wltnln. to-

The average rental for a niche is SD,
which pays for its perpetual use, no rent
ais being made on any other basis This
method Is used more generally by the
people of the middle class. who are not
able to buy a perpetual right in the first
division, but who generally rent a grave
in the second or third division, and at the
expiration of the seven years move the
remains to the inches.
