IT HE old oaken bucket that hung In

its moss covered associations for
newer and more hygienic ones. Wells
have no more R place on the modern es-

tubs for the culture Of water plants.
For those OF US who dare not dream
Of concrete pools and marble fountains
in which TO grow our beautiful aqua
tics, the old wooden tub is quite the
mos: wonderful substitute. Indeed,
its picturesque appearance and rustic
atmosphere arc often TO be preferred
to the elegant and formal air OF the
artificial pools However, where econ
omy OF space is necessary, as well as
economy Of expense. there is nothing
comparable TO q tub garden. So simple
is the growing OF such a garden. and
so great the fascination, that no one
should miss this opportunity for added
beauty about the home.
Another advantage the tub has over

CHARITY rs YEARS OLD
Hirsch Fund, Aid to Immi-
grants. Celebrates To day.

Twenty-Five years Of service IN ad-
justing Jewish immigrants TO changed
conditions will be reviewed to-day,
when the Baron de Hirsch Fund eele-
brates its twenty fifth anniversary.
Among the advisers OF Baron de
Hirsch when the establishment OF tho
fund was contemplated were Oscar ).
Straus ard Michael Helprn.
The American Hebrew" which gives
the history Of the fund, says that az
meeting Of the committee on pre-
liminary arrangements, March l3,
1890, trustees and officers were elected.
Among them were Meyer 5. lsascs,
president; Jacob II. Schif. y.ce-prcs-
dent; Jesse Seiigman, treasurer; DR..
julius Goldman, honorary secretary,
and James H. Hoffman, Henry Rec
and Oscar 5. Straus.
The fund has subsidized for immi-
grafton work the Council Of jewish
Women and has contributed toward
the work Of the Clara dc Hirsch Home
for immigrant Girls. Through its ef-
forts, Jewish societies engaged IN i'm
migrant aid have been consolidated
under the Jewish immigration Com
mittee Of New York. Organizations
have been subsidized in Philadelphia
Boston. Baltimore, 81. Louis, Pits

which we know ourselves and others
know US are misleading. No one knows
he is. as a elimination Of his ances
tral forces. His teachings have so in
nuenced him that nothing may ever
show him what he is, basically."
Professor Champion has the happy
power Of evoking vision In those he
addresses. He is tall and gentle and
earnest, and is one of the most popu-
lar professors in his college, yearly
shocking. firmly and regretfully, hun
dred young women into new beliefs. At
the moment, however, he evoked in the
mind of his interviewer visions OF hon
est gentlemen walking about the world
securely in fearful ignorance OF en-
tirely subdued thieving tendencies IN
herited from some thievish ancestor
and ignorantly passing on this charac-
ter;stic to his progeny forever and
ever. 1t enables one to grasp the sig
nificance Of eugencs, as, for instance
q man who has had tuberculosis trans
mits this weak resistance to his chill
dren, who, despite their own health
gained through great care, will have
long line of descendants who IN this
respect are weak.
THAT is Why all education is hope
ful. Each one of US has so many latent
possibilities culturally that have never
been tried that the mere fact that we
cannot add to these should net deter
us from making the most OF what we
have.
1--WE have never plumSed the great
depths in US, and it would be interest
ing TO find how far we might go with
proper handling Of our given equip
ment. While each race is race seps-
rate and distinct and no change OF en-
vironment will change 1t TO another
race. ard while nothing but intermar-
riage and a consequent fusion of char
acteristics will alter the stock, educa

ly add 70 the pleasure to be derived
from the garden.
The planting Of the tub is largely a
matter of personal likes and prefer
ences In general, because of the
limited space for growth, it is wisest
20 choose those varieties which are
moderate growers, but are the freest
Towering. The hardy Nyphes or water
lilies are all beautiful and splendid sub
jects for this small area. Nelumbiums,
to5, arc quite fitting for the water gar
den. Water lilies can be planted az
any time from April TO September, but
the best results will follow if they are
planted early rather than late. To pro-
duce flowers the same season, early
planting is necessary. Tender Nym-
pheas may also be used, and will thrive
luxuriantly provided they are given the
warmer and more sheltered situation,
and are planted after the weather has
become warm and settled. The same
applies TO the NelumbIums. whose
tubers should not be planted until
about May !. II the roots show ten
dency to move about, they may be
anchored with bits OF stone. or the soil
may be given a top dressing OF Two
inches of sand.
To carry the roots over the winter
without freezing, adequate protection
must be provided. II is sufficient TO
cover the tub with boards upon which
are piled dry leaves TO depth Of eight

fresh stable manure TO prevent them

children, despite the cries of some who
call themselves feminists."
Nevertheless, Professor Champion is
a feminist. In his observation Of
women and men as students he says he
has observed slight differences in their
methods of attack, but little in the re-
suits.
"The women like to generalize, and
like to be led to the conclusions. Men
are more prone to work out proc
esses for themselves. But this may
be due TO their training. Scientifically
see no reason for any difference.
Women are quite as open to
inheritance Of their fathers
traits, powers and predictions
as are men. Women inherit their
fathers features quite as often
as do the men; therefore, why
not the mental features?
"Heredity seems to point out
equality Of the sexes. Not CEN
turies of training will ever make
certain traits exclusive to one
sex.
at is the popular theory to-day that
environment is a very potent factor in
the progress Of a race. Environment
does not directly alter the fundamental
stock. But environment is even more
powerful than educators have taken
into account practically. for il tends to
make the most of the latent possibli-
ties in each person"
The positive aspect o, the euthenics
as explained by DR.. Champion T. more
than interesting. Education, training
and all the other influences which
make up the broad term environment
can prop up u weak vessel until it
is strong. Fundamentally we, indi-
yidually, are unchanged by these infu-
ences. Practically and potentially we
arc metamorphosed. The inner STOCK
remains the same. But those things by

The mothercrsft school, OF which
Professor CHAMPION is on the advisor
board. has at present but one branch
i'm this country; that Is in New York
City. Another has been conditionaliy
promised in Massachusetts. and it is
hoped that the plan is TO become q ma
tional one. The object of these schools
is definitely to teach women how to be
proficient mothers. 1t is to teach them
how TO make the most Of their natural
powers, mentally. physically and NOR
ally. Ia these schools young wcmcn
are to learn something OF eugenlcs, to
be taught something OF the social obli-
cations involved in the question OF
marriage, and especially all that is in
yolved in euthenics. They arc to be
taught the care of their children.
They will be taught. by unques-
toned authorities, what is best for the
physical welfare of the child, what
clothes it shall wear and how they
shall he put on; what food 1t should
eat and how it is TO be cooked; when it
shall take its exercise, and how.
They will be told how the child
should be played with; what toys are
best for it, and how they may make
these toys for the child. And they will
be taught the full value Of home edu-
cation for the child, not necessarily in
distinction TO school training, but in
addition to 1t.
These mothers must be
taught the value Of individdsliza-
ton. The modern tendency is
to make every one to conform to
single standard. This is impos-
sibIe, and it is fallacious reason
ing. What should be done is to
find out the best that lies in each
individual, and to make the most
Of it; to ferret out the worst, and
then 10 bury it as deeply as pos
sible," said Dr.. Champion.
