SOCIAL WORKERS HOLD MEETING AT
 MERCY HOME INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

The following is from the Survey:
 ,sThe children won't suffer any more after this. will they?' said a small actor after the child labor pageant given at the eleventh annual conference on child labor in San Francisco on May 2S. While this pa seant, written by Mrs. George Hough Perry and staged on the exposition grounds may not have justified in the minds of adults the optimism of the child if did strike the note of hopefulness that prevailed throughout the meetings and 1t demonstrated the community's interest in the conference. An appeal to the west to prohibit child labor before it has a foot hold there was the main theme of the address. pr. Felix Adler of New York, chairman of the national child labor com mittee. touched the heart of the matter when he pointed out that child labor has always been a by-produet of the change from an agricultural to an industrial com munity. By the law of recurrence it has appeared in every part of the world go- ing through that change. It appeared in England and our eastern states during such a time of change: it is now at its height in the south during similar change. and i. will appear in the west unless it is forestalled, Dr. Adler said The west, realizing the national signifi- canoe of wasted childhood and the con- munity's responsibility toward each indi- vidual child. can prevent the recurrence of child labor there if it will.

 Make Loans
Hy HOLLAND

New York, June 25.-(Special.)- .)-David Lloyd-George, who until few weeks ago was chancellor of the exchequer of the British empire and is now at the head of c newly created cabinet department, is known to esteem the leaders in American material activities as fully equal in abil- tty and mental resources to the leaders in Great Britain. Two or three years ago he said of one distinguished American who had given counsel or information to those who are in authority in Great Britain that he possessed extraordinary intellectual gifts which had been highly cultivated. Upon no other occasion when he sat with others of the British parliament in com mittee did he hear such a powerful eX- position of the modern theories of govern ment Or so profound an explanation of the differences between the American and the British form of parliamentary govern ment
 After the war had been in progress for some months, Lloyd George was brought in personal touch with several Americans who have achieved greatly in the field of national and international finance. Of these men he is reported to have enter tained an opinion similar to the one which he voiced when speaking of the American who appeared informally and by invita- tion before a committee of parliament Recent financial negotiation by American bankers with French bankers will confirm Lloyd Georges opinion
 Ear CT in the present week there came the first definite report of negotiations carried on by Americans and by French bankers with intent to place the loan ir the United States for which the collateral security is to be American bonds and stocks in which French investors have placed some part of their money. There is little doubt in the financial district thai the first suggestion of internationa financing of this character was made by American bankers who in the late fal and midwinter visited London and also Paris. Lloyd-George was. probably in formed then of this plan. It is stated tha after the suggestion was found to be Ia vored by the French bankers, provided the plan could be worked out satisfac torily in all it's details then this delicate

No prettier setting could have been se- lected than the one in which the social workers held it's final meeting of the year, Thursday afternoon.
 The cool, inviting parlors of the Indus trial School for Girls was the scene of an interested but small meeting of social workers, the object of the meeting, the election of officers and the discussion of a programme and plan for the following year.
 It was unanimously agreed that during the past year the meetings had been poorly attended and little interest was shown on the part of the workers, the possible reason being the work discussed during last year. while entirely pertinent and good was not constructive and the social workers association, which should stand as a sort of clearing house for social and institutional problems was not such. The meetings were either too business like, lacking entirely any social feature, or they were not business meetings at all, only lectures or the reading of papers
 Therefore it was decided to have the incoming administration attend entirely to the programme. accepting the recom- mendations discussed by the association. These were the probable advfsability of heart to heart talks on local problems at
