The lines of work open to children are those which have no educational value.

 We need for the Children's Bureau what the Bureau of Statistics is for the Department of Commerce. In their great laboratory are tested many mate rlals. This bureau yearly report shows an increasing peace in the world of commerce as result of the standardl- zation of its effects.
 Another thing that our bureau wants is the investigation into the causes of infant mortality. The great sanitariums all say there should be no infant mortality whatever. Inasmuch as the United States has a mark of over 124 out of 1000 living births, as compared with New Zealand's 51, the matter should bear looking into. There are parts of the United States where the mark is lower than 51. Some parts compare favorably with New Zealand We have found that in some sections of cities, the rate will be quite low, and in others, the poorer sections, the rate will be high. It hardly seems fair that we have sec tlons where a baby has a third as good chance to live as in another part of the same town. Really, the way 1t is now, a baby has the same chance as a man of 90, or perhaps few years less

The success of Mr. Ferguson in his

shows that the question is somewhat
acute here in Texas.
A statement recently coming to our
notice may have an important bear

estates, and a man who buys a farm
cannot reckon on being able to buy
the neighboring land when he has put
