Long experience and research in every
civilized land have shown that the well-being
of practically every family depends upon
home ties, upon its being held together until
the children are old enough to work The
underlying assumption of the pension plan
for mothers and families is that motherhood
is a service to the State worthy to be so rec
ognized, and deserving of a money recon-
pense when needed. As simple matter of
economy the State could better afford to
give its future citizens the care of mother
and the influence of family life than to let
the children run wild in the streets while she
earned meager wage in the endcavor to sup
port them and herself. Public opinion is
unanimous that it is expedient and desira-
bic to subject the least possible number of
boys and girls to the training and education
given in institutions, where all individuality
and initiative are certain to be crushed out
of the children.
1t would be difficult to dispute the claim
that every child has natural right to the
support and companionship of its mother,
and, conversely, that the mother has a
similar right to the love and comradeship of
the child. After all, can there be a happier

AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS

TWENTY-FIVE years ago Charles Dew
ey Hilles, chairman of the Republican
National Committee and secretary to Presi-
dent Taft, was student at the Maryland
Military & Naval Academy at Oxford,
Maryland One of his schoolmates was
Major Thomas L. Rhoads, now President
Taft's physician and military aide. The
BOYS were chums, and when they parted at
the end of the scholastic year each carved
his name on piece of wood. This binding
tie of friendship was left in possession of
young Hilles.
The inseparable friends completely lost
track of each other soon after leaving school.
Mr. Hilles took up teaching and the organi-
zation of reform and juvenile schools in
New York and Ohio. Four years ago he was
appointed assistant Secretary of the Treas
urv, and two years later Mr.. Taft made him
secretary to the President. Young Rhoads
decided on a medical career. He became
an army physician and went to the Philip
pines, where President Taft was serving as
Governor General. a successful operation
on the future President gave the Young doc
tor a reputation in the Far East, and made
Mr. Taft his close friend.
Two wears ago Hilles and Rhoads met at
the White House. President Taft was about
to introduce them. when they rushed into
each others arms for their first greeting in
quarter of a century. Explanations fol-
lowed and the President beamed benedic-
ton upon the reunion.
Hilles and Rhoads talked so much about
their Alma Mater that the President said he
would take advantage of the first opportun-
ity to visit the college that had turned out
two such distinguished sons. On a recent
motor trip, on which the President was ac-
cOmpanied by his secretary and military
aide, instructions were given the chauffeur
to drive to Oxford. Arriving at that peace
ful village, Hilles and Rhoads got into d dis
pute as to the best road to take to the col
lege. The driver slowed down to await in
structions, and the President called to a
native:
Can you tell us the best way for us to
get to the Maryland Military & Naval Acad-
emv?'
There amt no best way" was the reply.
