The value of thing depends largely

jectile force. The man behind the mes

CAPITAL JOTTINGS.

was found dead Tuesday in his Office at

came naturally while Robinson law

BY reason of the inability of the In
terState Commerce Commission to hear
all of the cases that have been filed
with it during the last few months, the
necessity has arisen for the further
suspension of certain Western freight
rates filed by the railroads. In every
instance the tariff suspended made an
advance in rates. During the next few
days many other suspension orders,
which were made effective on Jan )
will have to be extended, because of the
physical inability of the commission to
determine them.

SWISS "GUARDIAN SCHOOLS"
Solving the Problem Of Caring for
Children of the Street.

In the overcrowded quarters of
every large city where working peo-
pie live there are always many small
children who are allowed to run the
street without proper oversight In
the largest cities, like London. Paris
and New York, they are numbered by
thousands. With such surroundings
and under such conditions it is not
strange that u large percentage Of
them become criminals. The great
question with the authorities is how
to handle them and prevent them. as
far as possible, from becoming crimi-
nails.
Switzerland has solved the problem,
partly at least In the city of Basel.
for instance, guardian schools or
ganized and supported by the state,
are open every day, and from the mid
die of November till the middle of
March, every evening. They can
hardly be called schools, but rather
recreation classes.
Under the teachers direction the
children play games. tell stories. sing.
crochet, embroider. sew and SO forth,
In good weather they are taken out
doors for games or walks. Each class
has about 80 children in it, just
enough for the teacher or guardian to
handle comfortably. An inspector
visits the classes frequently and
makes reports to the school authori-
ties. The state provides all the ma
terials for the games and work, and
also pays for the luncheons.
Basel has IA population of 10000.
and last year 2000 children were taken
care of in these guardian schools In
addition to this work Basel has an or
ganlzation known as the Play as
ISOLATION, which looks after the games
Tor young people. There is also
another society, now % years old,
whose special business it is to give in
structions to and provide recreation
for boys on Sundays and in the eve
nlngs. Last year 1t had $4,000 chill
dren under its care.-Houston Post.
