SWAPPING Babies.

Do YOU wish to swap babies? II So

unique organization in New York
through which children can be traded
all over the world. The plan is not
commercial but educational inns
world vide baby exchange is the first
OF its kind in the Western hemisphere,
but the idea mas been in operation in
Europe for some time. In its essential
principles it is one OF opportunities
rather than children, since any trade
would be merely temporary and cal
Culatcd to meet some educational need
York mother has a son with a desire
to study art or wants her youngster TO
learn the French language, the ex-
change will endeaTor to discover
French mother with a son who wants
to study subWays and skyscrapers. or
to learn the English language. An in
terchange may thus be effected for a
year or more through the medium of
the new organization. Thus an -Ameri
can child through a series Of foreign
exchanges would be enabled to learn
as many foreign languages as desired
a. practically no expense.
Weird as the idea may seem. there
has been for some years an inter
change o. children along these lines
between England. France and Ger
luany, and similar arrangements are
common among the German Swiss and
the French Swiss. since in Switzerland
il is necessary to be- able tn speak
both French aud Gcrnlan, there being
no official tongue. -
Tho krnncbcc Journ;tl has rnrcntly
referred IT, an exchange of this sort,
but did not include i'll the list Of stu
dents children SO young as tive years
Of age which the new exchange pro-
poses to undertake to handle. Just
how such exchanges. through The
medium of the new organization, will
be effected. remains to be seen, but
there seems to be no doubt that there
soon will be market in New York on
which it will be no uncommon thing
for a five-year- old American boy to be
offered in exchange for one year for a
foreign youngstcr OF the same age.
y hope is expressed that parents
will copyright some private mark. like
the cropping OF ears. or the trimming
of hair. or location of mole, so that
there may be no legal difficulties arts

youngster has not been returned by
the organization.
