PHILANTHROPY AND ECONOMICS-By George Eaves D. D

1. Not infrequently philanthropy makes shelter for rapacious employers, who are thereby encouraged to pay in wages less than is necessary to keep employees in physical health and efficiency. But since a worker employed for full time can not produce less than enough for self support, here is palpable injustice. Here is philanthropy acting as social crutch for a lame economic age, and yet appar- ently necessary because the age is so lame,
 Now for further illustration: The fight against tuberculosis has become clearly recognized as the community's s work. In many if not in most, of con temporary communities action has been taken on rational lines at public expense. In Alabama, so hedged are we with i'm itations upon the public purse, that the cities of Tennessee and Georgia are put ting ours to the blush, to say nothing of other states. City governments are eager to help, but their hands are paralyzed on their way to the public purse, and private philanthropy is urged to carry what load belongs to the common life, because there is no strength elsewhere.
 It is lamentable condition. I do not pretend to know how thoroughly the tax alton of Birmingham is capitalized between the "big fellows and the average citi- zen. But supposing there Is no injustice at that root of things, how can the com nunity's health be justly laid as a bur den upon the philanthropic few, while the careless. irresponsible majority go

the word-for planting the fields of the world.
 First-class fighting men they were for their time and age-7and it is splendid thing to be first-class fighting man in any agei ... But somehow we have won vision from those turbulent years, vision that the thoughtful ones cannot hide and do not wish to hide. This vis- ion is no more than a belief that God is with us-that Good is with us-and that the destruction of earth's weak ones will not any more forward the progress of Good on earth. It may be that those jungle battles of the dim centuries, and those prosecutions that later well-nigh broke the already bleeding world-heart, were necessary gestures in the making of the higher races. I do not know. only know that we wrested vision from the stress of it all; out of the millions of years we have got a hint of democracy. do not worry any more about the past. It's hurts, it's hates, the thunder and chaos through which mankind passed in the making. But there is a vital interest for us all in study of those weak and strong ones about us-that flotsam and jetsam that we hob-and-nob with day by day-flotsam and jetsam of which we are part.

the Golden West dropped shekels in his pathway and solved all his problems?
 Dr. Conan Doyle has book in which he works out the woes of the generous man with exhaustless supplies of gold. He corrupts everyone in reach of him, in spite of all safeguards, and finally, in despera- tion, destroys his gold-making apparatus. Sir Arthur does not eXaggerate the facts. Private philanthropy is so difficult that though it is more blessed" which is to say, more pleasure producing, to give than to receive, both the giving and the re- ceiving are equally curst with a lurking peril of shame and woe.
 And when I speak of private philan- thropy I include everything outside of state institutions, even to which institu- tions also some of the same criticisms must apply. By way of example, here gre four counts in the indictment of private philanthropy:
 1. It reaches only few restricted areas or instances of need. selected or arising out of very many. Because it is partial therefore it is unjust.
 9 It burdens a few donors with re- responsibilities which belong to the whole community and therefore pauperizes the community and lonizes the donors-whose willingness cannot be held to negative tho injustice perpetrated
 3. So far as private philanthropy lifts the burdens of men, 1t tends to do so by weakening their individual self-relance and sense of personal responsibility and power This is an inconceivably far reaching injustice.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-05

What is to be done? Shall we follow experience, the experts and economic dog ma, or shall we follow the untaught in- stinct of liberality and hand the man a quarter? The real issue as may easily be seen in all these instances, is the issue between individual action and community action. Community action means that the individual need whether of food, or ,ai- nent, or house, or school, is really a form of community need. It is the community that is in need, because it's member is in need. If the man suffers through drink habits or laZneSs, he has been reduced to that condition through the failure of the community to train him alright In the case of the rural school the burden, of course. belongs to the whole community. But in many glaring instances the com munity has no community conscience; each farmer holds back lest his burden should be a little heavier than his neigh bcr's, and the school goes unopened, or the teacher is insufficient for the demand, or the school, being opened, lacks desks and maps and blackboards and beauty and dignity and inspiration.
 One phase of modern social evolution would seem to be the progressive shifting of this burden from the willing shoulders of philanthropy to the more or less grudg- ing and truculent shoulders of the oom- munity. There is a most useful impress sion on it's way to modern man, that civ ilization requires the equalizing of bur dens, and of all burdens. The poor can no more escape than the rich the rich no

<<DUr case,' as our prophe.lo @ mas 7e
 O ter. Robert Browning, says: IT

Is ii the young woman or her employer!
 A fine-hearted and splendid ChrlStiah gentleman we'll known to me erected a hostelry for young men in certain city, He offered to worthy applicants room ..no board for about 65 per cent of what they were actually paying to persons running private hotels, etc., on a purely conlHer- cial basis. The justification was ms nope of surrounding these young men wltn wholesome moral atmosphere.
 Again, put case: Does this kindly deed serve the young man, or the boarding house keeper. or the general mass or young men who in that same city are boarding away from home? In so far as my friends gift affects the price of board and rooms there does it work an injustice? In so far as it arbitrarily distinguishes be- tween a group of, say, 20 selected men and the general mass of young men does it serve the cause of brotherhood?
 Yet once more: If in a certain school district there is urgent need of a new school with effective teacher and equip

ment, but where only two or three citizens have any conscience in the matter; though these awakened ones seek to stir the others and urge the common need of that most worthy enterprise, yet these others remain indifferent, even hostile, till pres ently the few. for the sake of their own children, make great sacrifices and volun- tablished, despite the niggardliness of the churish, is the result fair or right? Is the impulse of philanthropy immediately in conflict with the stern law of econom- ics? And if economic law is disregarded, will there be no chastisement? In other words are there no disadvantages in phi larthropy, no exultation of mercy over justice, no arbitrariness or graft making?
 Certainly nobody whose faith is enli2ht- ened can fail to discover divers anomalies and discords in the application of Chris tan benevolence to our modern conditions. Once more. put case: Christian bensvo- lence says, "Give to him that asketh of thee, and from him who would borrow turn not thou away" This is the simplest form in which the crisis comes. For economic law. as taught by the experts of charity organization, says, Do no such thing. Look him up. See if he is worthy. Then the last thing to do is to give him money. The only thing to aim at is to help him get work and reach self-sup- port" Economic law as taught by expe- rience, says: "Do not give him cent! If you do he will almost certainly go and drink it''

enough to yield themselves up to the microscopist. The mosquito breeds upon the surface of water A lady was much troubled with mosquitoes, and, as she lived near no standing water, she could not account for their presence. She had forgotten that she had a rain barrel at the corner of the house. The mosquitoes wanted nothing better, for the barrel was uncovered. With the emptying of the rain barrel the pests disappeared. The shape of the mosquito is much like that of the young woman who follows the eXtremest fashion in wearing narrow skirts. She is straight from shoulders to feet Just give her broad hat that will correspond with the head of the insect and a pair of gauge wings, and there you arei The analogy may be pressed a little farther for 1t is only the female mosquito that stings. While I say this, I hope no one will &C., cuse re of implying, with malice afore- thought, that in the human family only women sting. But it is fact, that the male mosquito does not sting.
 The sting of the mosquito is a thing of art and of wonderful ingenuity. It consists of seven different distinct parts, as your microscope will disclose. With one part of what looks like a proboscis, he pierces the skin, and with the others he sucks the blood. I have heard that if you will hold your breath while a mosquito is getting in his work upon your
