THE PROBLEM OF THE UNEMPLOYED IN
RELATION TO THE CHILD.

How many of the large number of unskilled, in
termittent workers who constitute the greater
part of the army of the unemployed started work
early in life to be deprived of opportunity
for education and industrial training? What pro-
teen and sixteen and what between sixteen and
eighteen years of age? What proportion of ilt-
eracy exists among the unemployed? Has the
unemployment of adults having children in their
families induced the premature retirement of
those children from school?
Such inquiries get pretty close to the heart of
things Some OF them may be awkward to answer.
But it would be shameful not to be sufficiently
straightforward TO answer them.
Some suggestion of what some of the answers
may have to be is found in the facts that eight
Of the United States permit the employment of
children in mines. children not yet in their teens;
that fourteen states permit children under sixteen
to work at night, and that thirty-fve states per-
NIT children to work more than eight hours in
the twenty-four
II may well be asked IL that is the object of
eugenics and sanitation, to produce healthy chill
dren and TO preserve their lives in order to
work them in mines and at night and more than
eight hours a day in factories Really, is il
worth while? Callias's horse trainer would not
thus have overworked colts in Socrates's time
Pardon, however, for the comparison. Is it not
principle of our civilization that human beings
are of less value than brutes? Else why are we
crowded and mauled and sutfocated and poisoned
IN our city transportation lines in fashion that
would not be tolerated day in cattle cars?

HOTELS AND OFFICE BUILDINGS
WOULD BE OUT OF COMMISSION

New York hotels especially the larger ones,
would feel keenly the shortage OF coal and
food, because, owing to cramped space their
storerc oms do not hold more than twenty
four hours supplies Their gorgeous dining
rooms would become places OF desolaton and
darkness and the cosey rooms would no longer
radiate comfortable warmth and cheerfulneSs.
The dynamos would only as long as the
coal supply held out Then there would be
darkness and gloom.
The large office buildings in the downtown
section OF New York might hold out for
week or ten days, because their storerooms
are large enough to hold larger quantities OF
fuel But after the second day OF tn biz
zard few tenants would appear in their OF,
fees owing to the interruption Of most OF the
interurban and interborough transportation
facilities. 1t is estimated that there are fully
two and quarter millions OF wage earners
in Greater New York Most OF these use some
form Of transportation facility to get to their
places OF employment. The subway carries
about million passengers day. the elevated
lines approximately three-quarte:s OF a mill
ion. and the surface lines carry about half
million passengers day.

days. There are other items which would ma
terially swell the financial loss caused by the
blizzard. But it is impossible even to attempt
to figure them in doll RS and GEMS They
must be left to the minds conjecture.
A blizzard of any length would be terrible
and expensive experience for the modern New
York, more so than it was for the New York
of twenty seven years ago, when things were
not done on nearly so large scale as
to-day, and when the population affected was
only half as large as it is now.
But the weather man is reassurng. His prog
nostication is that this year will pass BY with
out any blizzard. New York is heading toward
the clear blue skies of spring and steering
clear OF the weather snsgs OF March.
New-York tribune., 1915-03-21

cost of living went up from IS to Is per cent
in greater New York
Statistics of the local weather bureau show
that half an inch of snowfall an hour is fair
and conservative average. In a blizzard OF
nnety-six hours duration forty-eight inches
Of snow would be accumulated. Trafhc eX-
perts say that four feet OF snow in the streets
of New York would make transportation of
any kind impossible. If one takes into con-
sideration that gusts of wind will swee' to-
gether mountains OF snow in various loca-
tons, it is possible to imagine the general et-
fects of a blizzard of such dimensions and
length upon the daily activities of New York
erS.
The first effects Of the blizzards fury would
be felt in the household by the exhaustion of
food supplies. 1t is estimated that the average
family seldom has more than a days provi-
sions on hand. Snowdrifts would make it
practically impossible to go downtown to pur-
chase foodstuffs at the big markets and the
stocks of the small corner store retailers
would soon be exhausted.
After twenty-four hours of continuous snow
fall the railroads leading into New York would
be forced to suspend because their ploughs
could not keep the tracks clear. In all proba-
bility the third-rai electric systems employed
by the two trunk lines entering New York
City would be put out of commission by the
continuous raging of the blizzard. The ferry
boats would be compelled to stop running on
account of the binding snowdrifts, which
would make safe navigation practically impos-
sibie.
Other navigation in the harbor would soon
come to a standstill, partly through the in
creasng dangers of navigation and partly
through lack of fuel. Ice would form on the
rivers surrounding Manhattan Island and the
East River which has frozen across several
times in the history of New York, might freeze
again. AS most Of the large coal repositories
and yards in New York are located on the
river 'front.' and as their supply is rarely large
enough to last for more than FIVE days at the
most, coal would soon become as scarce as
food, and freezing would probably be added to
the torments of New York's tnowbound mill
ions.

WOULD MODERN CONVENIENCES
SAFEGUARD CITY IN STORM2

Have these economical and social improve
ments of the twentieth century rendered New
York City immune to the various dangers
arising from a possible interruption OF the
transportation facilities and the attendant
cessation of the enormous daily food supply
of the city? And have the sanitary improve
ments instituted by the city made an epidemic
of disease under such conditions impossible?
There is a difference of opinion among the
citys experts in these matters. While all
agree that the city is better protected against
famine and pestilence than ever before in its
history, some are inclined to the belief that
New York's vastness and the complex variety
of its demands for life's necessaries have rem
dered it helpless in the face Of dangers aris-
ing from a possible protracted avalanche of
winters embarrassed furies.
The consensus of opinion is that New York
City would be helpless if blizzard OF ninety
six hours duration were to visit it. In other
words, the population of Greater New York,
which in round numbers is now estimated at
100000 souls, would be in serious danger Of
famine and exposed to the ravages OF disease
and suffering. Four days interruption of New
York's food supply would send the spectre
of starvation stalking around the homes OF
rich and poor alike, possibly start an cpl
'Semic of disease and render valueless all the
improvements and comforts which twentieth
century ingenuity has devised for the con-
yenience and happiness Of the race
According to the head - one OF the citys
largest grocery concerns, whose branches
stud greater New York, the ci,y's food supply
would not last more th2n forty-eight hours
if all traffic were checked. The milk supply
one of the most important Of large citys
necessaries, would not hold out even that
long. Twenty-four hours OF complete tie
up of railroads and shipping activities would
send the prices OF foodstufs soaring from
rs to so per cent, according to this man. who
has made study of food problems. During
the twenty-four hour tlizzard last March the

to strike the city again? Could
New York City withstand the siege of ice and
snow long enough to escape famine and the
ravages of disease? Or would the most modern
city in the world become a helpless prey TO
the unloosed elements of nature?
The worst blizzard which has struck New
York City within the memory of man was
that of March II, 1888. 1t lasted from l
o'clock in the morning of that day until
o'clock in the afternoon Of March IA dura-
ton of sixty-three hours. The average snow
fall was forty inches; it cost Sl50,O0O to re-
move the snow; the damage to shipping in the
harbor was $200000 the damage to city prop
erty Sl75,000, the loss to wage earners $1,000
900, and the loss to railways, including the
traction system of the city, Sl,75O,O0o-a total
OF we'll over 100000.
New York's population has almost doubled
within the last twenty-seven years. Vast i'm
provements in the city's transportation and
supply systems have been made since then.
The transportation facilities in New York are
considered the best in the world, and the sys

ions is regarded by experts surprising that
of any other city in the world in efficiency and
complexity.

SAVING THE BABY FOR THE LATER SAC.
RIFICE.

But, asks the Child Welfare League, cui bono? /?
What is the good Of it? And for what purpose
ar, you trying to produce healthier children and
TO lead them safely past the ills to which infantle
flesh supposed to be inevitably heir? What
use is to be made of the children they grow
into and through their teens? Not only does the
league ask this, but its purpose is to answer the
question in a manner worthy of civilization
which has outgrown the ethics Of King Herod
There is. indeed, much need for answering the
question despite all that has thus far been done
since the time when one Of the most inspired
singers of her day voiced the Cry of the Children:
Do you hear the children weeping, my brothers,
Ere the sorrow comes with years?
They are leaning their young heads against their
mothers,
And that cannot stop their tears
The young lambs bleating in the meadows
The young birds chirpng in the nest
The young fawns are playing with the shadows,
The young flowers are blowing toward the west

k<~ ALIAS" said Socrates one day, "if your
sons were colts or calves you would, of
course, find some horse trainer or cat
tie raiser who would care for them as to de-
velop their best qualities But now, seeing that
they are young human beings, what will you do
with them?"
For the benefit of those who vany imagine that
all wisdom began the day before yesterday and
will perish when they die it may be explained
that even this wisest Of philosophers, more than
twenty-three centuries ago, was not the inventor
Of eugenics the founder Of the child welfare
movement, but on this .c.-ion propounded to
Callias a problem which already hoary with
antiquity Also, may observe, this problem has
not, with those additional twenty-three centuries,
become superannuated That man who, of all in
our times probably most resembled Socrates-to
wit Emerson-dwet much upon it and pressed its
transcendent Importance home with master hand
when he reminded that "the true test of civ
ilization is not the census, the crops; no. but
the kind of man that the country turns out"
To-day, therefore, comes the Child Welfare
League, modestly but resolutely striving to an
swer the question of Socrates, and to cause our
civilization better to stand the test which Emerson
prescribed.
There have recently been put forth most credit
able and gratifying statistics of sanitary, prophy
Tactic and therapeutic achievements whereby the
infantile death rate has been reduced to not
than half what it was a few years ago. More
healthful conditions of life, precautions against
disease and vastly increased curative power are
saving yearly thousands of lives That is very
good Also we hear much of eugenics, according
tc which it is hoped to attain higher average of
physical and mental sanity in the newly born
which likewise would be very good.
