FAMILIES ARE
TO B. EXCHANGED

New York, Nov. ia new sug-
cestlon for the advancement Of inter.
national comfy comes from Prof.
Ernest Richard of Columbia university
He has presented to the Peace society
the idea Of an interchange OF mem
bers Of American and European fami-
lies in the interest OF mutual under
standing and education.
The Idea Is says Prof Richard,
that Mrs John Johnson of New
York sends her son Alfred 10 Berlin
10 live free OF charge in the family
Of Mrs. Katrina Schmidt and Mrs.
Katrina Schmidt sends her son AdOlph
TO live free OF charge with Mrs. John
son, Alfred learns all about schopen'
hauor or forestry. as the case may
be. and Adolph learns all about how
subways should be run.
There is little chance that either
can be Ill treated IN the opposite fam
ily, because all he would have to do.
would be to write to mother and tell
her to take it out OF Adolph or Al
fred as the case might be Inciden-
tally the languages would be learned
Of necessity and the families could
not help getting something from their
visitors.
The idea has been tried out sue
cessfully in Europe and | know of
more than 200 cases where families
exchange sons or daughters in Ger
many France and England"
Prof Richard Is the chairman Of
the peace committee Of the National
German-Amerlcan Alliance. and he
hopes TO persuade the committee 10
start some sort of bureau to serve
as the medium between families de-
string to effect exchanges.
