MODERN MAN.

Man is handsomer, better
housed, fed and clothed. more
charitable and is more rarely as
sailed with gout than in "ye old
en- times" In fact, man has had
on an average of six years added
to his life in the last century.
No doubt the stress and strain OF
life today are conducive to ner-
vous complaints as well as to
arterial. cardiac and gastrointes-
final disturbances. And yet with
all of this hurry one is amazed
at the outward calm, the poise,
Of the man Of affairs today We
read that man is old and worn
out at sixty, but statistics prove
that the average length of life
is between six and seven years
longer than a century ago. Wives
and children are better cared for,
better educated. dressed. enter
tanned, are healthier. happier,
more beautiful than in the his
tory of the world as we know it.

REFORMS IN AMERICA.

One of the superstitions of
America is that all reforms will
proceed from education; there
fore there is a prospect of early
development of the educational
system, giving equal educational
opportunities to all. This is the
alleged ideal of America today.
1t is defeated by the exactions
of the Industrial system. dis
ordinations against race and
sex and the early materialistic
ideal of culture. These give
promise of being transformed be-
fore many more fundamental so
cial changes take place. Our hui
manitarian tendencies will lead
us to provide for detectives and
dependents more scientifically
than we do today. Leniency to
first offenders. a generous parole
system. the employment Of priS
oners and the payment Of their
wages to their families, will
transform the penal system. De
fectives are treated scientifically
in many parts of the country,
and the study of eugenics has
not only begun, but has led to
significant applications in many
of our states. The great depend
ent classes for which no pro
vision has as yet been made are
the two kinds Of unemployed,
the jobless worker and the subsi-
died parasite. Employment
agencies and a just system of
taxation will tend to eliminate
