taries Of the Church sought to COMBAT
the increasing credullty of the people.
Pope Innocent III warned the French
clergy to accept only objects OF indis-
putable authenticity, but these doubts
and prudent precautions were Ill re-
ceived by the masses, and those prel-
ates who even dared to express their
skepticism ran great risks. They were
regarded as evil characters and enc
mics OF the people"
Five chapters are devoted to the
medieval clergy, perhaps the most
helpful being that on the lower clergy.

siastical dignitaries to the University
OF Paris is a logical transition. An
equal number OF chapters deals with
the nobility, their standards and daily
life, their finances, enmities, quarrels
and pastimes And the noble lady has
a chapter OF her own. The book closes
with a chapter on the peasantry. the
ultimate victims of feudalism, the "ul-
innate consumers" OF all its wrongs
and injustice, and on the burghers, who
were just beginning TO lift their heads
In pascent confidence. A wealth OF
information is packed into these pages.

CHILD LABOR IN CITY STREETS. BY
Edward n. Chopper. Phi. d., Secretary
of National Child Labor Committee
for Mississippi Valley. l6mo. PIP iN'
2S0 The Macmillan Company
Mr.. Choppers purpose is plainly
stated in the early pages Of his little
book, where he points to the anomaly
of our child labor laws, which prohibit
a child's employment before the age Of
fourteen In factories and shops, but
leave II free to follow at any age, and on
its own account, certain occupations,
such as peddling. the delivery and SELL
ing Of newspapers, boot backing and
the like. Boot backing has been or
ganized by Greek padroni. and offers no
particular difficulties to the enforce
ment Of child labor laws, but the other
occupations threaten many obvious
dangers to the physical and moral
health Of the youngsters. Some OF
these trades are intermittent, hours OF
idleness alternating with spells OF In
tense activity; others still are most
profitable at certain hours Of the night
This night work leads the author to in
clude In his plea the case Of the mes
senger boy, to which attention has
been called ere now, its dangers are so
many and so obvious.
1t Is not regulation, but prohibition,
that will cure the resultant evils, Mr,
Chopper holds. His survey includes
conditions and laws in England and
Germany as well as In this country
and It is from England that he draws
the suggestion that the street trades
now in the hands Of children in the
United States could well be handed
over to adults beyond the age Of their
full economic usefulness, to cripples,
the tuberculous and those otherwise in
capacitated for work
From the chapter on the relation Of
this uncontrolled child labor to delin-
quency one learns that most Juvenile
offences are committed by working
children. Still, II must be remembered
that "a partial explanation Of the num-
Der of delinquents is unquestionably in
the kinds Of children who enter these
occupations. II is a case Of action and
reaction There is a good bibliog-
raphy.

JOHNSON TO FIGHT AGAIN

Jack Johnson says he signed arti-
cles to fight Jeanette because he
had everything his own way" Won
der what significance can be attached
to the remark? Does he mean he
signed because the McMamon broth
ers conceded to his every wish regard
ing the financial end of the bargain?
Or is it to lead us to suspect that
Jeanette has capitulated and will
give him every thing he wants. :"
There are many angles to the re-
mark and it might lead several to
think that, including the financial in
ducements, others were advanced.
One thing is certain that suggests
this is the rapid manner in which
Johnson signed the articles after pub
licly having announced his retire
ment. Could Baron Wilkes have been
the Inspectors private man? We
will wait and watch developments.
