 This question was asked by of a group of citizens who were seated together at a downtown club.
 It was Immediately agreed among them that there could be no doubt the very first place
 The name of Jane Addams led all the rest
 And next after the name of Miss Addams came mat of Julius ROsenwalds The remaining three we shall leave to be thought by our readers. How would they complete the list?
 We return to MT. Rosenwald. whose name re- called the incident appeared yesterday in the Mems Christian Association. Mir Rosenwald is very actively employed-he president of the United Jewish Charities and director in numerous phflan- thropic religious and civic bodies One of his business associates says that of his twelve working hours each day five to his business and fine passion for giving while he lives. he gives abundanty of his time and money

Caring for Destitute Children

MT Takata, assistant superintendent of an or phan asylum in TokiO, recently interviewed by New York reporter and gave the following count Of the method adopted by the Japanese in caring for destitute children. He said:
 There are few foundings in Japan, it is said. Occasionally abandoned baby may be found in the smaller towns. For the babies who reach the asylum there is what is called the placing partment, and they immediately a home in some village where they have fresh air and a mothers care. For this the mother, takes the strange baby, is paid a month. This amounts to $2 Of our money, but has the purchasing power of $4 in Japan The baby is supplied with clothes by the asylum authorities.
 A second department is the Sugamo or school where the asylum children are instructed from the tiny tots who go to the kindergarten the elemen- tary students, and from which they go homes found for them far possible in the villages There they become members of the family, the girl learning the household duties, well as some feminine occupations, hairdressng making artifi- cal flowers, toys and needlework. The boys learn to be fishermen farmers carpenters, dyers There is siX-year compulsory education law in Japan, and the children must attend day evening school up to the thirteenth year
 The asylum holds the position of guardian all the children coming under care until they are 2O receiving reports as to the welfare of the children who go into homes and visiting them occasionally. Frequently a child will be legally adopted by the family in which it has placed and the asylum responsibility ends.
 Day nurseries in Japan are all private insttu- tions under the care of Japanese There is one at TokiO, one at osaka and four Kobe on the coast. One advantage which the Japanese day nurseries have is that they have grounds and the children spend their time outdoors good weather.
 MT. Takata has made study of institutes the feeble minded in this country. but there is small proportion of such children in his country he says. There is one private institution them. commodatng from sixty to 100 in Tekio and periments being made the treatment of child only little below normal
 The reason given for the number of children who become public charges n Japan is said to be the integral family life
 If the members of the individual family not take of child. or if the child is left an orphan it explained by Takata, there re outlying branches of the family, brothers and sis ters. cousins and aunts who will il. Or if it is in small village the people all know each other they would not be hard hearted, and another family would take care of the child. It is very seldom that it is left to public charity"
 There are 135 public institutions children in Japan, and 5O0,0O0 yen, $250O00 S spent for them annually. There only 775S children in institutions in all Japan population of G5.000.O00.

Governor Wilson and the Civil Service

 This is in line with the ideas of civil service refurmers but it make the situation satis factory from the enge of a lean and hungry office seeker.
 Was it for this that patriots whooped it up all summer beginning with the close of the Baltimore convention and kept whooping it up until the night of November this that democrats of Arizona have been out-vying another with declarations that they were each the original Will son man? Has all the endurance of the turmoil, the dust the heat of the campaign gone for the bolstering up O the civil service?

Books That Have Been Burned
(Pall Mall GaZettel

(Pall Mall Gazette)
 Defoe used tell of a bookseller who remarked that if he wished a book to sell well he would have burned by the hands of the common hang and have doubt that in the neigh borhoOd of Doncaster at least Tom Jones' will be good seller unless the public discovers that it's immoraIities exist only in the minds of the free library committee In any case it will have been burned in good company for fire has been the tate of many books which regard our choicest literary possessions.
 The church had a way of insisting that the author himself should his heretical volume into the flames, and sometimes it further and burn ed books and author together. In the former case may mention Abeard's famous Treatise the Unity and Trinity of God" which was condemned at the council of Soissons. A fire kindled in the cathedral. and there, with fierce rage in his heart Abeard had to cast his treasured volume into the flames Five hundred years later Brunos works shared the same fate, but Bruno himself was amid the conflagration.
 ical books being burned In 1521 Wosey, Cardinal of St. Cecilia and Archbishop of York, sat in state PauTs Cross the while Bishop Fisher denounced Martin Luther and his accursed works many of which burned in the churchyard during the sermon But in spite of this the Lutheran doctrines fOurished and six years later Wolsey again came to St Paurs intent reducing to ashes all heretical tracts and evil translations of the Scriptures. It a great procession. Lutherans in penitential dress carrying lighted tapers and symbOlical fagots, walked in it. WoIsey sat a throne in the nave, with eighteen bishops and mitred abbots about him, and below them was multitude of chaplains and doctors. At the foot of the great road over the northern door, fire was kinded and fed with Bibles. The Lutheran heretics begged pardon on their knees and then sentenced to walk around the blazing pile Scriptures and cast fagots the top.
 It needed little courage to face ordeal of this kind but Bastwck met his fate with com pacency and a touch of humOr He had tilted against the ecclesiastical authorities and the court high commission ordered his books to be burned, their author to be fined thousand pounds, to be accommodated, to be debarred his profession and be imprisoned until he recanted. That" quantly replied Bastwick, lis till DoOmsday-in the after noOn"
 Newspapers well books were burned, and the most famous of the kind is that of the North Briton, No. 45 in which Wilkes, it thought, had uttered sedtious libel.

Need More Real Lawyers
(Chicago Record-Herald)

More real lawyers and fewer attorneys at law should be the battle cry of the universities in the future, according to Representative Paul Rowland Cleveland who of the speakers at the annual reunion of the alumni of Western Reserve University.
 This country is with 'shysterS,' not one whom is capable of half way interpreting the laws of the country which growing ntri cate every day" said Mr. Rowland. If the pres ent condition continues, with state legislatures and the federal government grinding out laws every minute the day, I predict that within fifty years it will take absolute genius to find out what the law really is.
 universities of this country should devote their efforts raising the standard of the men they graduate in the law. They should endeaVor to send out into the world men of brilliant minds, men who will reflect credit upon their alma mater and upon the high calling they have chosen.
 Until law schools throughout the country insist upon a man having an academic training this dtion will never be brought about

In my talk with you at the Cosmos
club when you were recently in
Washington, / endeavored to set
forth somewhat briefly my views
with respect to the kind OF help that
should be given TO farmers. Our ex-
perience here has taught us that II,
is just as dangerous TO give the
farmer too much help as it is to at
tempt to give him too little help.
The problem Is to teach MIN to
help himself and to help him far
enough so that he will have q real
ization of the fact that he has the
power to help himself.
Farmer His Own Demonstration
We accomplish the best results by
systematic studies of what is taking
place within the farm itself and
then by utilizing these studies as to
point the way to the farmer in the
matter of reorganizing his work and
reorganizing his farm to the end of
a more economical use of labor and
a more profitable production Of
crops. Demonstrations with crops
or small plots of crops, or demon
STATIONS with an entire farm provid-
ed the entire management or a large
part of the management is vested
outside the farmer, are likely not to
be successful. In the early days OF
our work we attempted to bring the
farmer to a realization of his needs
and his possibilities by conducting
what we called demonstration farms
at various points in the south and
north. These were not successful,
and we abandoned them for the plaT
of making every mans farm practi-
cally demonstration farm, but tho
man himself must be the demon
strator, and must understand why
and for what reason he is demon
strating. Agood many plans for
helping the farmer have been and
are being proposed. Amy or all of
them, in our judgment, will fail il

ant factor -

Attitude of Country Merchant
Cali right, when he understands
them. There are certain busy bodies
who have been trying to hamper the
work by misstatements about the
county plan, but whenever this is

come our strongest allies. This IL
no one mans plan, but it is the only
plan upon which eventually all can
unite.
