Head of Decatur Orphans Home Gives Figures
and Explains Situation

The cost of rearing children in
Atlanta has increased 100 per cent
in the last ten years, according to
the Rev. j. NJ. Hawkins, superintend-
ent of the Decatur Orphans Home.
Mr.. Hawkins based his statement on
a comparison of the average cost of
the support Of the children in the
home ten years ago. as shown by
,ne records Of the institution, with
the present cost.
Ten years ago" said Mr.. Haw-
kins 'tive dollars a month, or 500
year, was adequate to support one of
my children; to-day II requires just
twice that much. $l20.
These figures include all expenses
incident 20 the support of the child
food. clothing and education-and
incidentally many of QUA larger girls
and boys are in college. their eX-
penses being paid by the home.
Better Standard of Living.
This enormous increase is due not
only to the increased cost Of all the
Necessities Of life. but also TO the "a
creased standard Of living o-day
we regard as Indispensable many
convenlences. such as water, sewer
age electric lights. telephones. and
SO forth. which ten years ago we did
without"
Mr.. Hawkins said also that it costs
more TO bring up and educate girl
than il does to rear a boy. and that
it pays better dividends. A greater
percentage % the girls turn out
Well than If the boys. although the
number of boys who are successful
is by no means small
There are at present 2S0 children
in the home from all parts Of Geor-
gia, the Institution having taken care
of ov,r 1000 children in the last ten
years.
In the figures given. Mr. Hawkins
includes the pro rata cost Of pro-
viding a home for the children. and
keeping up the institution. which
should properly be charged against
the child If the actual cost of shelter

forewomen," he SAID. Absolutely no
safeguard is thrown about the girls.
Is ii any wonder. then, that some OF
these girls, toiling their lives out for q
starvation wage, yield to the lure OF

Mr. Wallace quoted different PAS
sages from the Bible to show that it
is the duty of the church to interest
itself in the betterment or these con-
ditions
The church must not sit idly by
and allow the working classes to be
oppressed, and see the very life aud
character of these girls ground out in
this heartless manner" he declared.
1t is time the churches should unite
in great systematic warfare against
these forces that are throtting labor,
and come to the rescue Of the DOWN
trodden working women and girls
Associated Charities Scored.
At the morning service the Rev. Mr..
Wallace severely raped the Atlanta

a great portion of money contributed
by Atlantans to relieve the suffering
OF the poor goes to swell handsome
salaries of numerous officials. He
suggested the name Associated in

How civil war can be averted in
Ireland over home rule is the big
gest question now confronting the
Government
The suggestion seriously considered
is the appointment of a royal COM
mission, some of the members to be
chosen by Parliament and others by
King George, to arbitrate the differ
ence between the north and south OF
Ireland.
The Protestants In the north refuse
to accept home rule, which has been
brought about through the activities
of the British Nationalist, the great
majority of whom are Catholics. Thus
the religious question permeates the
heart of the differences.
The Ulster Presbyterians declare a
i
Ollie government, and they refuse ia
be ruled by such. On the other hand
the Catholics in Ulster will rebel
against a Protestant government in
that district.
The central Government is trying to
reach a common ground upon which
both sides can be united.
