Praqmatlsm.

But while the pragmatic solution
seemed to many a deliverance from
worse evils, and a most useful meth
cd Of exploring for truth, it was gen.
orally felt to be unsatisfying, rather
tentative than final, writes William
Ernest Hooking in the Yale Review.
Pragmatism taken alone leaves belief
too much to the accidents Of volition
and to main force, too much to the
vote and hence exposed to the veto.
It's God can offer support and comfort
to men only on the condition Of being
first upheld by them. Just In proper
ton as necessity drops out of moral
truth and option takes its place, the
moral atmosphere is rarefed, and eff
fort to maintain belief results in swift
er fatigue. Men are willing to respond
to the pragmatic incentive, to be act
i've in the making of truth, wherever
reality is seen to be unfinished and
plastic, but in all such activity there
Is needed something to stand upon,
something which we neither make nor
have made, something independently
real and certain. There must be
something behind pragmatism.

tomorrow's world is to be what we all
nope it to be, the babies must be con-
tinuously cared for. And one OF the
newer and more far-reaching Ques-
tons in the old world is the baby
question. The 0hild-section in the

land capital shows progress in it's
study and solution.
Con0es*ed City Life Stays Infants.
The reports Of European congresses
and Of the more recent English-speak-
ing Conference were displayed in pop
ular form. The effect Of the crowded
conditions of city life upon infants
was suggested by chart and picture.
Figures furnished by John Burns, Brit.
ish Minister of Health, were shown.
Mr.. Burns figures contrasted the per-
centages of infant mortality in con-
gested and open districts, in districts
where mothers worked and neglected
their children, with others more IA
vored. In Hampstead, London, the
rate Of infant mortality was Il per
thousand; in Shoreditch, at the other
and more crowded end Of London, the
infant mortality was 145 per thousand.
In Lancashire, where women worked
in factories and where many children
were therefore uncared for, the infant
mortality was exceedingly high, three
or four times the rate in districts
where women Of the same class did
not work. With such facts European
governments are studying plans
whereby mothers should be mothers
and not machines.
Doctors are more successful at saw.
ing their own babies to become
adults. Mr.. Burns found that doctors
babies died at the rate Of only 40 per
thousand, while in the case of the up
per and middle classes Of Great Brit
ain the rate was II, in the case Of
artisans 100 to 100, in the case Of
miners 100, in the case of unskilled
laborers $50 to $50, and in the case of
farm workmen, despite their brutally
low wages, only 81 per thousand. The

burns figures are duplicated from
practically every other country.
Save Babies and Make Soldiers.
Continental Europe and, more latter
~ and more leisurely, Great Britain
are establishing medical inspection of
children at school and, to a less de-
gree, at home, to reduce the infant
mortality. They seek thus to have the
doctor do for other children what he
has been able to do for his own.
Medical inspection came in Great
Britain as sort Of by-product of the
Boer war. A London journalist, Of the
staff of the New Statesman, in relat-
ing the discovery of babies in the
United Kingdom, said that during and
after the war many would-be recruits
suffered from physical defects and an
Official inquiry was set on foot to in
quire into physical training in Scot
land. The report was unsatisfactory
as regarded the conditions found. By
bold hypothesis, certain observers,
however, were led to inquire whether
these spoilt adolescents had not once
been younger and Dr. Leslie Macken-
Zle verified this induction by a visit
to the North Canongate slum of Edin-
burgh, where certain small creatures
were found, who might be regarded as
1nchoate specimens of the spoilt sol.
diery already encountered Having
examined the children at school then
the first official medical 4nsuoction
in Great Britain-he came to certain
conclusions which led to a general in
quiry in England also It seemed
probable that no known type Of dumb
bell, Indian club, or strangulation ap-
paratus for strapping ones self to
ones bedroom door, would have the
effect Of Strengthening knees bent by
ricketts, or replacing teeth lost ten or
fifteen years before. Then came med
ical inspection of schools in Great
Britain as it had come In Germany,
France and other nations earlier.

fants are to be saved alive to furnish
a proper supply Of adults, the mothers
must be protected. Thus the logic Of
the more or less paternalisttc govern
ments Of Europe and the Amsterdam
charts show the mother as the civil
ICED states care.
The French, In whose country the
baby is held in higher regard, per-
haps, than anywhere else in the world,
seem to be pioneers. First, they sup
piled babies with milk. Then they fed
the mothers who nursed them, for it
is a curious paradox In France that,
in a country where babies are su-
preme, so many babies are nursed by
foster-mothers. Next the French be-
gan to feed the expectant mother and
found the result highly successful. At
the Conference in London on infant
mortality most valuable and signif1-
cant discussion dealt with ante-natal
hygiene. The chief cause Of infant
mortality, it was conclusively shown,
is a defective condition of develop
ment at birth-and this depends up
on the facts of ante-natal life. Moth
ers are Natures original device for
the prevention of infant mortality.
Hence the care Of them by the state.
Besides the charts on infant NOR
tally, indeed supplementary to them,
other charts showed the effect of al
colhonsm and disease in the parent
upon the life of the infant.
While the states growing concern
in the care of children, from their
birth and before, Is mainly brought
about by the states desire for ply
sically strong soldiers in its army, It
has had good effect in many ways.
Schools for mothers have been estab-
lished, better housing conditions pro-
vided, parks opened, and many meas
ures-some fantastical, but all we'll
meant-have been encouraged. "And
