rub lard or tallow all over their socks
The French soldiers also wrap their

Most of these bags reach only to the

sideration of the subject. In this re-
view of history for the sake of discov-
ering the treatment given to children
throughout the past in order that the
rooted traditions Of that past may il
illuminate the present. the writer goes
back to the beginnings of the family
group as it revolves around the care
of the young. From this point Mr..
Payne advances step by step along the
way of history to show the slow change
that has been wrought in the worlds
attitude toward children, up to the
present. when this is one of the chief
concerns of all civilized peoples. This
the different stages of civilization and
through the tumultuous world of
events is a black and bitter line. 1t is
difficult to realize that not until the
nineteenth century was any appreci-
able consideration at all given toward
the amelioration of a generally indif-
ferent attitude or a positively cruel
one in respect to children. Coming on
up toward the present. Mr.. Payne
sketches the work of Vincent de Paul
for child welfare. and nearer still, he
outlines the origin of modern child
welfare work in New York city
through the initiative of Elbridge T.
Gerry. who founded the society for
prevention OF cruelty TO children, a
man who may be said to stand as the
patron saint of the splendid work that
is now being done throughout the
