APPLICATION OF OLD IDEA.

For q long time we have had day
nurseries, where women leave their
children while they go out to earn a
xrtag. Hitherto these nurseries have
been patronized chiefly by mothers do
ing the more laborious and nl-paid
kinds of work, but obviously the idea
was capable of indefinite expansion,
and SO it is not surprising to find
New York proposing to expand it SO
1t is the plan to establish a baby
garden" where teachers, writer's and
artists may leave their youngsters to
be reared according to the most scien-
tific notions of child culture; thus we
shall see how Plato's idea, modified to
to its home at night, works out In a
small scale in ideal surroundings
The home may indeed be the ideal
place for the child, assuming always
that it is the right home, but there
is no use blinking the fact that many
children can no longer be reared ex-
clUsively in homes, says the Chicago
Record-Herald. The best substitute
has to be found. Many unmarried
women, as everybody knows, possess
the true maternal instinct, while in
many married women the maternal
is interested in fitting people into the
inches where they belong, and this is
as true of women as of men
