New Women Of the West.
From Harper's Magazine.

When a little frail instructor from
the Kansas agricultural college came to
our town and was able to tell me the
reason why my bread had been souring
all summer and how to prevent it, and
I got 1t through my head that she
knew what h was talking about, 1
woke up to a lot that 1 had missed.
Our problems of trying to do the
work OF three with nothing to do with
has filed many a ~sanatorium. The nos
pitfalls are crowded with us. And how
full h cemeteries were of US in the old
days-the price we paid for the big
crops and the prosperity Of the state!
is full of the unwritten records Of
women who paid for the crops with
their lives. They are still paying for
the wheat.
My mother died because she was too
tired to try to make an effort to live
any longer. Looking back on 1t now. I
cannot remember ever seeing my
mother sit with folded hands. They
said little Of their hard lives, these
brave women who helped build up the
plains. They accepted itIuncomplaining-
ly. When our Country I'll met at our
house last week. my aunt was there as
q guest. We have 30 members in our
club. Ten OF them drove their own
automobiles. All but two live in modern
houses with heat and water. We buy
the latest thing in foot-gear, which is
the n sure sign Of progress in a
farm woman. One of the members was
humorously relating the trials OF hav-
ing q frozen water pipe mended, and
Aunt Kish told Of the days when she
had to carry water q quarter Of q mile
from q creek. My aunt 10 q q old
lady. and all the weight OF her 70
years has not smothered her resilient
disposition. Her husband died after
their third big wheat crop-drank him.

Ho1u Criminals Are Made.
CHICAGO News.

There is a small shoe store in the north
western part of Chicago. 1t is in a wooden
building crowded on each side by large
busy shops.
frame house by way of the cellar to a
barn in the rear. Here, in one room,
with nothing for shelter from the rain in
summer and the cold in winter except
a few loose shingles on the roof, lives
a woman with two daughters and one
son.
They call the boy Willie. He is is
years old, but appears to be Is. His head
is nicely shaped. his eyes are bright, his
expression is frank.
Willie began working when he was is
years old. as errand boy for a large retail
store, and worked steadily and honestly
for five months. The two little sisters
ycit to school, the mother did washing
Zen she could and the boys salary was
the main support OF the household. One
of the girls became i'll. The doctor called,
medicine was prescribed, the small
amount of money on hand was insuffic-
lent, and Willie used some money he had
collected on c. o. ID. packages. For this
he served 16 months at the ST. Charles
school for boys.
A few months ago the lad came back
to Chicago and secured a position as err
rand boy on the west side. Some one in
formed his employer "a woman) of
Willie's record and she determined to
watch him. Nothing occurred and the
employer thought she would find out more
quickly by temptation. She gave Willie a
$50 bill and sent him on an errand to a
store. He came back crying and said
that he could not find the money; tina
he had placed it in his pocket when leav-
ing. but could not discover it when he
arrived at the store.
The employer ordered his arrest, prose-
cuted him in court and felt extremely in
dignant because Willie. when found
guilty. was placed on probation. She felt
that he should have been given at least
three months in the house of correction.
Possibly her indignation would have risen
to greater heights had some one sug-
gested that she deserved a years i'm
p%risonment for her contribution to
Willie's delinquency.
The boys life has been entirely wrong.
Forest City press. (Forest City, Potter County, D.T. [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1916-05-31

His training, his environment, his sem
tence to the st. Charles school and his
recent temptation have been the cause
of his trouble.
Why must boys who do wrong for the
first time be placed in an institution
where they are likely to learn more evil?
OF what earthly use is it to place first
offenders in prison? How few people
there are who ave not at some time or
other committed an offense punishable
by law, from which they We're saved by
social position, influence or lack of de-
lection? Placing boys in ~r-'isons will
surely make criminals of them. at least
so long as the present prisons exist.
Willie left the boys institution at st.
Charles with many newly formed ideas
of evil and of society. But despite these
it is likely that if he had met with an
employer who would have spoken in
kindness to him. who would have ex-
planned the stigma that rested against
him and the evil that comes from doing
wrong. and who would have verbally
placed trust in him and promised to aid
the lad to overcome his record, Willie
would never have been brought back to
court.
To give the boy a $50 bill ito try him
out" with no words of any sort what
ever. was as ridiculous as to place raw
meat before a starved dog and then ex-
pect him to let it lie untouched.
Willie is now out of work and on pro-
baton. This is an evil combination, for
the boy must eat. his people are poverty
stricken and with his bad training, his
past record and his knowledge of wrong
doing, it is likely that the lad will be
picked up in the near future, probably
for some more desperate deed than his
previous ones.
Probably Willie was no worse at first
than the average thoughtless lad. Today
he is on the high road to becoming a sec
ond story man, a gunnan or a safe blow
err, just as the wind may happen to blow
him.
There will be less crime and fewer
criminals only when people manufacture
fewer of them. In the main they are an
unfortunate lot of beings ground out by
the defective parts of the machinery
called civilization.

University Prepares
for Regular Military Drill

University of Oregon, Eugene, July
l3.-From three to five companies of
underclassmen will begin military drill
on. the campus of the University of Ore
gon in September. If peace prevails,
a United States army officer will be
ON hand to act as commandant; If
foreign war demands for its service ev-
cry officer, President z. l.. Campbell
says he viii have to find some other
way of putting the plans into execu-
tion.
Drill will be compulsory for all un-
derclassmen. They will not be allowed
to graduate without it, 1t will take
three hours a week of the students
time, but if the faculty approves, Presi-
dent Campbell suggests that this be
allowed to count towards the present
requirements in physical training. II
this arrangement is established, there
will be no additional demands made
upon the students time beyond what
is required at present.
Adiutant General P. G. Harris,
United States army, is the representa-
tive of the army with whom DR., Camp
bell is consulting in regard to the
plans for the new department. 1t is
not certain vet what courses in tactics
or other military subjects will be of
fered in addition to the drill, but the
regents have authorized the erection
of full department, and the army
officer assigned to this post will rank
as member of the faculty. The
United States will furnish the arms
and equipment. Students will supply
their own uniforms.
1t is not certain yet, according tc
DIR. Campbell, just what will be the
relation of the present advanced
classes in the university TO the mill
tary requirements. 1t may be most com
venient to apply the new regulation
only 10 the sophomores and Freshmen
/ of next year, while on the other hanC
there is at least possibility that the
rule might be interpreted to include
drill as prerequisite for graduation
for all. The former Interpretation il
declared the more probable.
