These intolerant people make me think
of young Parson Brownslow.
Parson Brownslow one Sunday morn

skaters went through the ice. The par

cried from the road:

visage Of Deacon Jones'

his final duty Is to see that the children
going to school go down on the car with
him as far as possible, and have his at
tention during that time. Or better yet,
he should walk with them whenever pos
sible."
The Chevy Chase School was the first
of the graded schools to form a Home
and School Association. This has been
in existence nearly two years. and is
doing much toward bringing the parents
and children together in the school. The
officers are Eugene f. Stevens, president;
Miss Elizabeth Dessez and Ralph B.
Maream, vice presidents. and Mrs. James
c. Ord, secretary. The treasurer having
just resigned. a successor will be ap-
pointed at the January meeting. The
principal of the Chevy Chase School is
Miss NJ. Ella Given. one Of the most en-
thusiastic social center" workers in the
District Miss Given has done much
toward promoting the idea Of social CEN
tiers in the schools, and recently ad-
dressed the Monday Evening Club Of
this city on the subject.
-
In speaking Of the work Of the organ
ization for this year MISS Given said
that school decoration was an important
part.
I'VE have just gotten an addition to
our school," she said, land are anxious
to decorate the rooms attract!vely. The
organization il now planning an enter
tainment which will be given for the
purpose of raising funds toward securing
the decorations. The association has
four regular meetings during the school
year, but this year, I believe. several
additional meetings will be held.

There is nothing, perhaps. more dry

English Paupers and
Old Age Pensions

special Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON, January 5, 1911.
ALLOW to Live Well on $1.2o a Week
! ] is the title Of book which frugal
Young husbands are fond of presenting to
their new wives. 1t has been suggested
that Lloyd George. the chancellor OF the
exchequer. should invest in few thou
sand copies and present them to the in
mates Of the English warehouses;.
For these English paupers are display
ing a disgusting lack Of thrift. not to say
of gratitude When the old age pensions
act became law a year ago az howl
was raised by the socialists and labor
men because it didn't take in paupers.
the term "pauper" being applied technf-
cally to those already In receipt of relief
under the poor law. Lloyd George. who
always has his ear to the ground lost no
time in explaining that the only reason
he didn't give 1t to the paupers as well
as to those who had managed during
their seventy years Of life to keep out of
the workhouse was because he hadn't
the money. He promised that the
"pauper disqualification" should be re-
moved January /. 1911, and he has kept
his word, but now, astonishing as it may
want it removed.
The truth is that these destitute, old
people don't think they can live well on
$1.25 a week. which is the amount Of the
remain in the comfortable workhouse
where they are housed. fed and clothed
and have servants to wait. on them at a
cost to the state OF something like $50
per week head. They don't see how,
if the state has to spend $3.50 at whole
sale rates to care for them they can look
after themselves at retail for half the
sum.

Many of the workhouse masters be-

apply for pensions will have day or

will return to the workhouse penniless.

but even In England $.25 a week is no
use to any one who has not some other
source of income. In many cases during
the last year coroners have denounced
the act as the direct cause OF many of
the deaths they inquired into. Old peo-
pie tried to live on the pension and died
from privation, and many who didn't die
gave up the struggle and entered the
warehouses; after they had shortened

lgain in the warehouses within a month
Some OF them are still more optimistic
and expect their guests back at the end
of the first day. This attitude is justified
by conversations with the prospective
pensioners. most Of whom have only the
vaguest ideas of how they are going to
manage their new-found wealth. One old
fellow of eighty in a London workhouse
told the master that he proposed to live
In lodging house and pay 12 cents a
night for his bed When it was pointed
out that he would have only II cents a
week left for food and clothing he replied
airily that he would do little peddling
to help out. He had no answer when
the master reminded him that a peddler's
license costs S1.25 in London, and that
be would need some money to buy stock.
An old woman who was similarly ques-
toned declared that she was going to
continue to live in the workhouse. Her
idea was that the pension was just SO
much pocket money allowed her by the
state. and she had made great plans for
spending it on beer and snuff.
