The industrial system has become so
complex that only small part OF it is

Both tho employer and the employed
should know something about the nature
of the service that they perform, the
part that they play in the social econ
omy. They should both be taught what
their duties and responsibilities are, and
that the value of their service can be
measured by its social value, by THEN
contribution to the general welfare.

Send Them to Bed With a Kiss.
@ mother, so weary. discouraged.
Worn out with the cares of the day,
You often grow cross and impatient,
Complain Of the noise and the play;
For the day brings so many vexations,
So many things going amiss;
But, mother. whatever may vex YOU.
Send the children to bed with a kiss!
The dear little feet wander often
Perhaps from the pathway of right;
The dear little hands find new mischief
To try you from morning to night;
But think of the desolate mothers,
Who'd give all the world for your bliss.
And as thanks for your infinite blessings
Send the children TO bed with a kiss.
For some day their noise will not vex
you,
Their silence will hurt you far more
You viii long for the sweet children
voices,
For sweet childish face at the door.
And to press child's face to your bosom
You'd give all the world for just this;
For the comfort twill give You in sor-
row,
Send the children to bed with kiss |
