THE CHILDREN's CHARTER

| Rochester, N. Y., is in many ways one of the most progressive of our cities. It is especially so Tn education and all matters affecting the health and welfare of its children. Recently its social settlement framed "Children's Char ter," which is sort of bill of rights for child hood.
 It declares that no child shall be compelled to
 live in institution, to play in the street, to be a breadwinner, to live in a congested district or slums, to be ill-nourished or to suffer from the diseases of childhood.
 On the other hand, it asserts that every boy and girl is entitled to home that is clean and wholesome; to space, fresh air, light, proper food, health and strength; to play place, and to at least eighteen years of childhood. In gen eral terms, it states that "no child shall be con- pelled to be an angel; every child has right to be a real boy or real girl
 It might have gone further and stated as a corollary that no child shall be compelled to be bad, to associate with evil or have evil associ- ates, or to have criminal surroundings, but shall have the right to normal life and normal de- veopment, with conditions to promote moral, as well as physical strength and character, thus promoting useful life.
 This Rochester bill of rights for childhood is valuable as tabulating conditions toward which all organizations working for the betterment of the youth of the land are working. It is sue cinct outline of an ideal condition which is so reasonable, so wholesome, so just and sane that it seems that it must be here and not mere ly an ideal.
 Unless childhood has these rights how can the children of America be expected to develop int ouseful and moral men and women? How can it otherwise be possible to prevent the con- stant recruiting of the criminal class from the ranks of the juveniles and adolescence, unless this bill of rights is granted?
 Until it is, we will continue to pay the price of crime, of evil of all kinds, of ignorance, dis ease and bad government.

LINE OF LEAST RESISTANCE

"It singular,'' says the New York World "that in time of the highest educational de veopment, the activity of school authorities should be directed to a line of least resistance for pupils, one involving no strain on the mental powers. That is the common error of superf- cial thought,
 The man who wrote it s'killed space" by dash ing his pencil along the line of least resistance involving no strain on the mental powers. Be cause the child is given work that interests it, that appeals to it, for which it has temperament al and mental adaptation or talent, does not i'm ply that it will necessitate no mental strain.
 The child like the man, will "eat' the work for which he feels itself adapted and which ap- peals to it. It may be mathematics, it may be history, art or science It may be any of these applied to the useful and practical But what ever 1t IS, 1t will arouse more of mental effort or strain than varied course in the distasteful studies which are upheld as "tasks.'
 There will result also more of mental devel- opment, of culture and of that personal satis- faction which makes life worth an educational effort. There is no subject in all the courses of all the schools which will not strain the mental powers, if rightly and purposefully taught
 If 1t is to be a part of the child's life, if it arouses interest has the appeal and is properly presented it will thrill with effort and bring out the best that is in the brain While if it is mere task, if there is no response, it is more apt to sodden, to disgust and make rebeIous than to develop the leathery brain cells upon which it works.
 It IS not mental strain that sends children from schools, or makes it necessary to drive them to school, but. an attempted mental strain without interest, and only as drudgery

Marshal Wright certified that the amounts had been paid to the Pennsylvania railroad for miscellaneous expenses, U. s. Courts, 1910''
 Caleb R. Layton, auditor of the treasury for the state and other departments, refused to o. K. the voucher, citing the provisions under which it was contended that the expenditures were authorized, which is as follows: "For the payment of such miscellaneous ex- penses as may be authorized by the attorney general for the United States courts and their officers including the furnishing and collecting of evidence where the United States is or may be party in interest, and moving of records, $575000."
 Comptroller Tracewell of the treasury de- pertinent was appealed to, and he rendered an opinion in which he held that the expenses of the justices should be allowed.
 Economy talk notwithstanding, the sundry civil bill of the Taft administration, which is now before the house. carries the enormous aggregate of $111, ,S49,211.

men are working on the sewer and
it is hoped to have 1t completed in q
few days. Another Improvement is
the work of excavation being carried
on preparatory to the paving of tho
market place. Several teams are
used in the blowing and scraping
of the market place and this part OF
the work will be completed as soon
as the sewer excavation has been
filed. The work of connecting tho
water service with the automatic
fountain is also in progress. The
supply is to be taken from the main
at the corner of First avenue and &
