rest of the present monarchies-
Great Britain. Austria Hungary, Rus.

have adopted the republican scheme
before that time. As this story has
been widely published in the Ger

the most modern of all the crown

CATERING TO MOTORISTS.

The spread of the motor-car. and
the increasing habit of taking long
tours through the country. has ere
ated a new business. that of the au-
tomobile hotel.
IL is a return to- the old inns that
used to exist along the colonia,

the longer run Of the motor, the
successful hotels must be farther

Approaching this opening. inn
keepers all along the main routes
OF travel are getting their names
into the automobile blue books, and
advertising for this new trade. But
many Of them have little idea OF the
kind of thing the motorists are look

Most Of the touring motrists are

well used to the service given in

PUBLIC SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.

-
The public school teacher with
her long vacation. Saturday holiday
and comparatively short hours in
the school room, is often tenvicd
by the factory empioye 1 or the
stenographcr, with their. longer
work time. The actual fact is that
the faithful teacher probably spends
about enough time in home study
to balance the account.
But il is not the quiet hours
spent over the arithmetic book I'M
der the evening lamp, nor even
the dreary desert OF school papers
to be corrected, that turns the pref
| y girl teacher into a faded and
way worn creature SO premature
ly.
What a proposition il must be
to take the sun tanned and kinky
legged children Of August, and turn
them into the docilc learners Of
September
School discipline can be made
much lighter for the teacher il the
parents heartily back her up. a
teacher once said that her worst
troubles did not come from the
children OF raw alien immigrants,
as her friends thought. but that
she had more trouble with the
children of the old native stock
than with foreigners.
The latter had been trained III
the old country to respect acthor-
lily. The former are stepped in the
spirit OF democracy. and family
government OF today seems TO be
subject to the initiative and the
referendum on the part of the
children. and this spiri, extends to
a desire to recall the teacher.
In many families IL cannot ,r
conceived. in case the teacher does
not want to have her decisions ere
viewed" by the pupils, that docile
little Johnny can be at fault. The
child's complaints arc accepted at
face value. and the friction is charg-
ed up to the incapacity of the
teacher.
Considering that most parents
have about all they can do in gov
crning the obstinate little ogos of
one, two. or three children, they
ought to make whole lot of al
lowancc for the teacher who is
trying to handle ~ of the little
stiff nccked creatures. And then
too. II is not obstinacy that makes
the worst trouble. but the kink in
the legs that simply won't adjust
itself to the constraint of desk
and spelling book.

his parents to take a sullcn and de.
hant attitude toward Teacher" is

fairs without interference with Old

pENSIONINC MOTHERS.

Miss Mary Schinnick. probation
officer 81 Cincinnati, speaking before
the national conference" of Catholic
charities in Washington. said that IL
is far better for the state to pension
a widowed mother, with dependent
children. than To permit the home TO
be broken mp and attempt to care
for the children by means Of public
institutions
The proposition may strike many
people as novel, but a half dozen
states have adopted the plan already.
Such measure was passed by unan.
nous vote in the legislature OF Hi
nois. Its success is assured. and the
example is likely TO he followed by
many other states in the near fu
turc.
The theory Of the law is that il is
better to hire the mother OF children
To bring them up than IL is 10 take
them away from her and place them
in extensively maintained insttu
tons Obviously. it is better from
a humanitarian point OF view, but
the contention also is that IL is
much better from the standpoint Of
economy.
The mother can and will make
tremendous efforts to keep the fam
lily together and maintain her home
The help from the state enables her
to do this when. in many instances
otherwise. she would be obliged to
lose them. The cost to maintain
home and children under the moth
crs' pension plan is said to be no,
more than half the cost under the
state institution system.
Under the plan of pcnsioning the
mother. children are brought up UNI
der normal home conditions. and are
thus much more likely TO develop
into useful citizens than are institu-
tionalizcd children. Hope. happiness
and strength are given to the moth
er, instead of despair and loneli-
ness.
Applications for mothers pensions
in Chicago are heard in the chill
dren's court. and careful inquiry is
made into the circumstances before
grants are made. They are usually
about SIS month. an amount small,
indeed. but sufficicn, in most cases
to bridge over the chasm between
what the mother and the larger chill
dren may earn and what il neccs.
sary To keep the family together.
This is wha, Judge Merritt w.
Pinkncy says of the plan:
The County Of Cook pays out
each year approximately $4,000 to
institutions for the care of depen-
dent children. II must be conceded
that this is money well spent How
much more readily and willingly
should the county and the state pro
vide money to secure mothers
care for the child and to preserve
the home for both. Surely. this is
wise expenditure OF the peoples

OF the mother and the child. and

Whatever economies could be
made through government action by

mains that there is waste in our

untouched by any proposition for

American people.

he had learned that certain cuts
OF beef could be bought at first

In another city. 40 miles distant. a
place that would be called more of

kind of meat was 20 cents.
Both these two places he said
were situated about alike as TO
sources of supply. They were both
large towns. Most II their meat no
doubt came from the big meat
packers who sell at uniform prices.
Hence the difference OF six cents
must have been matter of econ.

The provision men have been
worrying over the question for
years. They are not making much
money, as the report from New

they would say that any project for
relief that might be offered had
already been tried out and found
unavoidable.
