season. The South End House has
since 1907 provided and directed the
caddy force for the golf links at the
two great hotels at Breton Woods, In
the broad valley at the base OF Mt.
Washington. For two years. the col.
ony was under the direction OF John
P. Whitman: since then the writer
has had charge. That this service II
appreciated on its business side -.
shown by the fact that 1t Is referred
to in the circulars both Of the Breton
Woods hotels and Of the Boston and
Maine Railroad.
THE caddy service was formerly
supplied by boys from the neighborinR
towns in New Ham hire, supplement- :
ed occasionally by recruits from the
city. The total lack Of Organisations
and supervision under this system left
the caddies practically free to do ~
they pleased. and they were not only
irregular in their work but. were freS.
auently disorderly. Tie need Of Ell.
cient service led the, hotel manage.
ment to seek cooperation with some
organization capable OF supplying dis
cipline and supervision. The South
End House was interested in supplying
vacations to city boys. and out OF this
joint need came the Breton Woods
Caddies"
The plan has been successful be-
yond hopes. The hotel has secured
body OF well trained boys under care
full supervision. The boys-to tho
number Of sixty or seventy each sea-
son-are benefited by two solid months
of good air. good food, wholesome
companionship and something real to
do. which are the hest possible ele-
ments in the vacation Of any normal
boy. Cad dying Is practically free from
danger and exposure; the hours are
short; the work. while sufficiently tax
ing, is well within the strength Of the

amusement? II It any marvel that oc-
castOnally we hear Of children who
are hardly acquainted with their par
ents and who have been taught to pay
but little attention to request from
anyone except the nursery maid or pri-
vate tutor? There are but very few
forms Of evil which are strewn broad
cast by needing such theories as ex-
pressed In the language we have quot
ed. Not that clubs and social func-
tons do not have their proper place in
the life of every woman. but the con-
tinual dancing attendance to such at
fairs. at the cost OF attention to home
obligations. is what we object to.
The idea that a married woman.
faithfully performing the duties Of tho
home, does not contribute her share to-
ward the maintenance of that home. is
grossly absurd, whether those duties
are performed in person or by the su-
pervision of a retinue Of sevants. There
are obligations about the home that
should never be wholly delegated to
hired help. no matter how competent
that help might be. The children should
know a mothers care and constant at
tention and home without children
soon becomes nothing far short Of
simply small boarding house or
rooming apartments. A good mother is
the highest honor that can be given
any woman. and the value Of such an
ideal can not be measured by dollars
and cents. Furthermore. the better ma
ture of woman is never brought out
completely until she either becomes a
mother or has the responsibility of
motherhood thrust upon her. No such
mortal ever became "fagrantly immor-
all because OF her married life.
Instead of accusing the wife OF be-
ing a parasite the writer should seek
TO place a portion of the care of the
home upon the husband. When the
majority Of families consists Of five or
six members and the father becomes
the confidant Of his boys and girls are
close companions of their mothers. it
will mean an elevation in the tone of
morals CT the parents, elopements and
divorce proceedi will eventually be-
come an almost unknown evil, and the
cry of race suicide will cease.

The sentiment expressed hy Rheta
Cbilde Dorr, one Of the leading femi-
nine writer's of the day. when she saws
that 'the woman who lives for her

self." is about the lowest, DEGRADING
argument that could be advanced
: eairst the ssnc.itv Of the home.
Whenever father and mother come TO
the point where thew are ashamed be-
oause thew are toiIine for the welfare
Of their children, there is something
radically wrong with both OF those
parents as well as the family they are
rearing.
