CHILDREN LEARN TO DRINK
DepIorable Condition in Schools ~
Moscow Revealed by Report Of
Consul Grove.

Remarkable statements concern
ing drunkenness among Russian
schoolchildren are made by Consul
H.. NJ. Grove in his report on the
trade Of the Moscow district for
1911. It is admitted, he writes, that
~inebriety is very rapidly increasing
among the school children in Russia
in general and in Moscow and the
Moscow provinces in particular. The
Moscow town council recently made
an inquiry into this subject, and It
was then stated that of the adults
who are addicted to drink it had been
ascertaincd that 90 per cent. learned
to drink while still at school. Out
Of 1874 schoolboys in the Moscow
province, from the ages Of eight to
thirteen years, 12,152 or &c per cent,
have taken to drink, and out of
10,404 girls Of the same ages 4,T33,
or As per cent, also drink.
1t was unanimously decided that
lectures on the effects Of drink
should be given in all schools, and
also that museums showing the eff
fects Of alcohol should be instituted.

We don't doubt this Is perfectly
true. We've heard of United Chart
ties workers who were paid starva-
ton wages, but so far as the ques-
ton of salaries are concerned it is
the salaries of the higher-ups the
people are interested in.
cit is well to point out here that
the United Charities is putting at the
disposal of the community the ser
vices Of $50 volunteers, in many diff
ferent capacities, in addition to its
paid staff"
Evidently the United Charities
thinks it has a lien on those who
volunteer to help the poor, the way
it talks of putting them at the dis
posal Of the community"
"As to the story that it cost SIS, 900
to investigate a certain case before
relief was granted, the fact is that
it cost less than 81, while the total
cost of service Of the United Charities
workers in handling the case, after
detailed estimate, is found to be
$7S.89,"
Now this unquestionably refers to
the sad case of Mrs. Maggie Ustich.
And it was never said by The Day
Book, which exposed the way the
United Charities treated Mrs. Ustich,
that it cost $4,000 to investigate the
case before relief was granted.
What was said, and what was
taken from the United Charities own
records, was that the estimated cost
to the United Charities of looking
after Mrs. Ustich during a certain
period must have been approximately
$4,000; that during this period the
United Charities (not any other
charitable institution nor person ap-
piled to on behalf of Mrs. Ustich by
the United Charities, but the Chari-
ties alone) only gave Mrs. Ustich |
1851 worth of cash, food, clothing,
rent or other actual relief; and that |
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-05-23

etc., and the remainder PAID IN cash
wages at 81 a day. for moderate
work at the nursery"
Now what the United Charities has
given Mrs. Ustich up to date we have
no mean Of knowing.
But on their own figures, as above,
it was only 500 in cash and $6S4.63
in food or cast-off clothes. Which
isn't much if you consider that Mrs.
Ustich and four children were sup
posedly under the care of the United
Charities for one year and a half, and
Mrs. Ustich and the two children who
have not survived it, were under the
care of the United Charities for six
months.
But outside of that, up to the first
of the year, one year and one half
after the United Charities began
handling" Mrs. Ustich, they only
gave her 1851 worth of relief, accord
ing to their own records
During that time, Of course, the
United Charities got rid of some of
Mrs. Ustich's children by putting
them in the Home for the Friendless,
a thing they did not mention in their
denial of the charges.
Possibly the United Charities has
included" the cost of the board of
the children at the Home for the
FFiendless in their estimate of food
supplied Mrs. Ustich.
If so, it is a peculiar thing to do,
since at the end of one year, the
United Charities ordered Mrs. Ustich
to get her children out of the Home
for the Friendless because the Home
for the Friendless refused to keep
them longer.
Altogether the general denial of the
directors Of the Charities does not
impress us highly,
it gives a lot of pretty statistics
that will not bear analysis and gives
no facts as to what the United chari- ;

The "Don't Care" Spirit

His don't care spirit becomes sore from
which others become infected. His
neighbor may be energetic and willing to
contribute his mite toward making this
community better place in which to
live, but he is hampered by coming in

lax individual should be quarantined
here, if he will not be an aid, he at least
can not bea hindrance tothe active citizen.
There is no virtue in being too conserv-
alive when iG comes to lettering con-

wire may make mistakes; buff everyone
lends his support to movements which
have for their purpose the good, of the
public, then the interchange of ideas will
result in weaving fabric in which there

anything never make mistakes. 1t you
insist on being a drone, at least don't

things. Though he may make mistakes
he is better citizen of this community
than yourself.
