largest organizations Of the kind the
world has ever known.
According to Mrs Schoff's theory
there are no bad children, only bad
parents, bad guardians, and evil sur
roundings," she says: IF the child Is
bad, the parents are the real Grim
inals, and if we cannot teach them TO
bring children into the world proper
ly. to nurture them properly and to
train them properly, we had better
punish the parents when the chlld
does wrong" The child's wrong do
ing can usually be traced to the lg'
norance and neglect of the parents,
and she believes in order to remedy
this and to bring the children up into
healthy, happy and useful citizens
that it is necessary to better the con-
dition of The parents
The incentive that led to Mrs.
Schof becoming the champion of un-
fortunate children occurred one May
morning a little more than decade
ago, as she sa, reading he morning
newspaper in the library of her luXuri-
Gus home in Philadelphia, when the
startling headlines on the first page,
"A Prodigy Crime" caught her atten-
ton and she became interested in an
account of how an eight-year-old
child had deliberately set fire to the
house in which she lived, burning it
to the ground The child was ar
rested, brought before the presiding
Judge, and as the girl herself admitted
burn and the engines run, she was
sentenced to the reformatory. 1t was
found on investigation that the little
girl had been left an orphan at the age
of two years and placed in a home, but
recently had been sent to city board
ing house, where she was acting as
helper and general household drudge,
ler onl. companions being ignorant
servants.
Many a mother In that City OF
Brothe"ly Love- who read those star
ing headlines, though justly shocked
at the seeming depravity of the little
waif felt also thrill of pity for her;

demonstrating with the bewildered
judge, who declared he had nc other

Sch II more determined than ever to
rescue the child, and to learn more OF
the law that branded little children
as criminals and send them to re-
formatOries. Horritied at the existing
system of handling juvenile criminals.

Offenses Aualnst Public Taste.

II Is astonishing that men of wealth
and culture should fail to recognize
the rights of the public in property
which Is owned in fee by individuals
or corporations. Putting up bill boards,
unsightly walls or fences, the cutting
of a slightly tree or hedge or the fail
ure to cut an unsightly one are Of
fenses against the public which the
owner of otherwise private grounds
has no moral right to commit. We
should remember that the earth was
made for man-that we should keep
and leave 1t more beautiful than we
found it. This is true Of our home
acre as well as the more elaborate
park systems of our largest cities.

CONTROL OF GERMAN CITIES
The Mayor, or Burgomaster in That
Country, is Elected for Term
of Twelve Years.

German cities are perhaps the best
governed Of any in the world. The
German burgomaster, or mayor. Is
selected by the council for a term, In
many instances. of twelve years, Is
generally reelected to second term
and is thereafter eligible to a pen
sion
He Is selected because OF his spe-
clal fitness, and training for the work
Is as elaborate as training for the
physician or lawyer In this country
When a German mayoralty Is vacant
candidates from other cities present
themselves to the council with their
credentials.
German burgomasters are far better
paid than American mayors. They
have a corps OF trained assistants
who also are specialists with definite
training for their particular work. The
police department Is under the direc
ton OF the central government. Mani
cipal ownership Is both common and
profitable. Street railways and water
works are operated at profit Some
cities operate savings banks which
have accumulated vast surpluses to
loan to people who buy homes.
This country has much to learn
from Germany In the management OF
its municipal affairs Our system Is
VIGOROUSLY cumbersome and inefti-
cient. We .have intrusted our ideals
of the "city beautiful" too long to
hack politicians and retainers OF spe-
cial interests. We cannot have a gov
ernment OF the whole people, for the
whole people or by the whole people
as long as we permit the city to be
ruled with shepherds crook.

This Trust

One OF the nloSi I'm iNihS
OF robbery is practiced by the var
ious manufacturing adjuncts OF the
steel trust. Principle OF these are
manufacturers OF stoves and agrlcul-
tural machinery.
The general public may not know
il but every ten years the patterns
, OF the stove factories are destroyed.
This means that every ten years the
stoves go out of date and II you
want a part OF a stove that you haVe
| been using owe ten year you can
! get it. Your hardware man will tell
YOU that he cannot supply the part
: YOU may happen to want as that pat
! tern has gone out OF date You
! have to buy a new stove, which he
| has right there to sell you.
The farmers who use agricultural
implements get it i'll the neck a good
| deal worse than the stove users.
Right in the midst OF the harvesting
season a machine breaks down.
1t is because of some little insight
! fcant piece worth about twenty-five
cents, but the machine can't run with
out it.
When. the machine stops, because
this piece is worn III the yancher
puts a small kid on a horse and tells
him to take the piece to the nearest
hardware store and get a duplicate.
Don't loaf on the way" is his part
ing Injunction. BE back in an hour
The kids gets back and brings the in
telligence that he can't get the du-
plicate. Haven't in stock. etc. The
old man gets on the rampage and
starts to town himself cursing the
whole country and the stupidity of
the kid and the storekeeper
He shows the storekeeper the
broken piece. he latter shakes his
i head.
Cant supply that piece without
we wire to Indianapolis. Ind, and I
don't think We could even get it
there. You see that make OF moving
machine has gone out of date. Don't
make any more"
why | only bought that machine
two years protests the farmer.
"Yes | know but you see the fac
tory called in that make last year
and don't send out any duplicate
parts. But | have a new No. g, they
are just now putting on the market.
What you need is an up to date ma
chine"
The farmer has big fields of alfalfa
that have to be cut and he gets a new
machine for SIS that sells for $50
in the Argentine Republic
After he runs the new machine a
while he discovers that the main I'M
Frovenents consist in having all the
wearing parts made. of soft steal
which have to be replenished on
stantly. Some day when he has no
work to do on o of bad wealth
er he can sit down and figure out the
aggregate cost of the different parts
at retail catalogue price. They run up
to over 5000 on a SIS machine. The
agricultural implement trust needs
regulating more than any trust in the
country. 1t could give every farmer
III the west a moving or reaping ma
chine and still make heavy dividends
on the investment furnishing the dif-
ferent parts for the machine when
they break or wearout.

should come in a similar category-the
"Follies' have come to be just as
much Of an institution In Washington
as any of the public buildings, and
by native Washingtonians' at least, are
attended by a much greater number OF
people.
This. therefore. is not intended for a

extremely entertaining production
known as The Follies Of 1913." which
is on view at the National this week

No one who has ever seen the Fol

there should be any who need urging
I will merely say that this years Fol

The scenes OF the Follies, thirteen in

Panama Canal, and are staged with
that lavish disregard for expense, but
essential good taste. which characterizes
all Ziesfeld shows
And speaking of the chorus-words
fan me! All one can say-and, come
to think of it, all one needs to say
IS that 1t is a typical FolIies chorus

and catchy music-but II differs from
the others In one thing-it Is bettert
And last night, while talking to the
manager Of this years FoIlies, I was
told an interesting secret. The first
Folly seven years ago was tried out in
New York, and Immediately afterward
II was sent out upon the road for an
experimental run. The MANAGEMENT
was dubious of its success, and had
about decided that the public was not
quite ready for entertainments of the
Foiiies' species. Washington was the
city that was to decide the question,
and the enormus success of that first
Ziegfeld show decided the day, not
only for the initial Folly, but for the
ones that have followed from season
to season The F'ollies like Wash

the Foliies, as the capacity audiences
at the National this week are demon
strating. JULIA MURDOCH.
