THE OUNCE OF PREVENTION.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In Thursdays Tribune see from a
tabulated statement of benefa ctiors to the
public that something like $50, go 600 has
been given by three persons for the osten-
sible purpose of lettering mankind But
all Of this vast sum. or nearly all. Is
given TO curing. not TO preventing that
which makes nankinds condition so
greatly in need OF betterment That is
women and not children.
Why is it SO? Why don't they give
the bulk of their money to making the
children the proper material from which
the proper men and women should grow d?
Why don't they get at the foundation of
money on the proper teaching of the teach
able instead of applying II to the cure OF
what might be and should be prevented?
All the money in the world cannot
make figs grow from thisties, and a very
little money. comparatively, might prevent
the thistle crop in q few years. But these
public benefactors do not seen, TO under
stand il, and they let the weeds grow and
give their money 10 trying 20 make d good
crop OF them.
Wouldn't IL be q wise gift for some
rich person 20 set aside a fund for the
education OF phlanthropists IN the proper
way 20 make their philanthropy result In
the greatest good 10 the greatest number?

two conducted by individual churches. And
when we consider that in 1898 1,i09 boys
