it belongs to their sex to be unselfish."
I shall be a good deal interested to re
ceive the estimate of Young Man from
my readers and to learn II they agree with
me or differ from me in my position with
regard to him. At the same time, whatever
we may think of him personally, it cannot
be denied that he opens up very impor-
tant question and one on which there Is
room for a number of varying opinions
How much right has young man or
young woman. a boy or girl to his or her
individual earnings, ana what is the just
claim of the parents upon the pay of the
children?
We all know that In some sections OF So
ciety 1t Is taken for granted that the labor
of the children is an asset of the parents
The latter look forward to the time when
the boys and girls will be able to work and
claim the poor youngsters earnings as
matter of course.

LET'S Talk the Subject Over.

Yet this does rot altogether answer the
question of my young man correspond
ent. Have the parents the right 10 The cnil-
dren's wages as the mother of my small
messenger boy and the father of the yankee
farmer lad evidently felt they had? Is 1t
fair thing to take a child either hoy or
girl. from school at the earliest legal age
and set him or her TO work as a means of
support for the family? In the eyes of the
law the minors earnings may belong to the
parent, but is 1t justice or Kindness to en-
force this? How much shall the sons and
daughters be expected 10 contribute to the
running OF the home? Board may be paid
but is that enough?
OF course we all know cases, where the
young people of the family have. without
compulsion, assumed the burden of a house
hold, taking care of the parents who are
invalided o. in any way incapacitated from
self-support, bringing up and educat ting the
younger children, foregoing homes of their
own for the sake of the families into which
they were born. The legal aspect OF the
case does not affect these workers one way
or the other They simply see what they
consider their duty and do 1t. and would
resent the suggestion that they were un-
fairly dealt with in any respect.
Also we know instances where there is
no way outside of pauperism for the chill
dren of the family to avoid contributing
their earnings TO the common good of the
household. Illness, bad habits. lack of
employment for the older members of the
family, have tied a milestone around the
necks of the younger inmates of the home.
Necessity in such cases knows no law, and
the burden bearers take the lot that falls
upon them not from choice but because
they must.
How do you of our constituency feel on
the subject? Are the children fulfilling
their duty when they do this and doing no
more than the parents have right to ex-
pect of them, or are they in a sense mar
tyrs to the family tie? Have the fathers
and mothers a right to ask their boys and
girls to so to work IN order to supply
their share of the family funds, or is 1t an
unfair advantage to take OF their children?
Is there more claim upon the boys than the
girls, or vice versa? Should the contribu-
tion towards the old home be demanded
after the children are of age. or does Il .
cease when their minority ends?
This is a matter which interests all who
are wage earners and who have wage earn;
ers in their families. IT Is a question on
which there are sure to be diverging opin-
ions. Let me have some of these and talk
the subject over together on this page as
we have done with others OF like mpor-
tance.

~ LETTER comes to me which COM
~ pels my earnest thought, and which
IT I would like to lay before our con-
stituency In fact. the writer of the
note appeals to your judgment for
help in the solution of a problem. Here is
what he says:
Can some member OF the Corner make
a suggestion regarding the rights of chill
dren in their homes? Should they give all
their wages to their parents or should they
only pay their board? Our family consists
OF parents and five children, three boys and
two girls. They don't own anything. not
even house, and are much in debt. They
all claim to have done me great favor by
keeping me in school until L was 49, have
obtained position and get a great deal
more money than the others, and they
expect me to pay all the family debts. Is
this not most unjust-to expect me to pay
debts did not altogether incur? The girls
bring all their money home. but 1t belongs
to their sex to be unselish.
The question is. Would they all appre-
ciate me If was to help some? Should not
each one look out fo- number one? I want

queries which presented itself to me in con-

school until nineteen years of age IL the
family had followed his theory of each look
Ing out for number one?'

that the writer of this note is another IL
lustration of the fact you frequently see
exemplified that the member of the house

usually miracle of selhshness. He prob
ably has justice on his side to a certain de-
gree, but his zeal for his own interests is
so obvious as to rob us of sympathy for
him. Apparently he Is not only number one

Opens Important Question.

Can't you imagine how he could have put
his case so he would have won the good
will of those to whorn he appeals? Suppose
he had said that he was anxious to get
ahead and make place himself in the
world but that appreciating the self-de
NAL his family must have displayed in
order to let him have a little longer period
of schooling he wished to do something TO
them in return. With this end in view he
would like the opinion Of the constituency
as to the proportion of his income he was
justified in putting aside for himself The
expenses of the family were heavy, their
debts a burden he longed to tighten so far
as he could, he was eager to do his full
share towards the home life. Such a pres
entation of the case would a once have
gained him the friendly feeling of all the
" cornerites." AS it is, am afraid We are
forced to compare him rather unfavorably
with the girls who bring all their money
