Mr.. Tregear, chairman Of the Royal

Zealand, states: THE average level
Of prices has risen less in New Yea

EXPOSE CHILDREN TO 81 DIS
EASES,

Striking illustration of the vice
crime and disease to which children
are subjected in many of the crowd
ed courts and alleys of Philadelphia
is given in q report made public by
the Philadelphia Housing Associa-
ton.
It emphasizes the responsibility fol-
such conditions rests upon property
owners and that the only argument
that appears to have any weight with
them is loss Of profits.
Children in one small court in
Lombard street were found by tn,
associations investigators exposed tt
sixty-four distinct cases of the gross
est types Of evil. Fourteen social
agencies, ranging from hospitals and
charities to the juvenile court and
prisons. were involved in the records
for the three years in which tG
study extended.

A RETROSPECT.

When we were young, in the days
OF the grandmothers and grandfath-
ers Of the younger set" of COving,
ton, we also danced. We even had
dances during school commencement
days, and we enjoyed them. vi
course, as today, there were literary
exercises as natural accompaniment
to these functions, which we also
were taught to enjoy and appreciate
as being the best efforts Of those who
appeared to take part In them. In
those days tn erays of ordinary po-
likeness and courtesy, however, had
not been dimmed by the brilliancy OF
the alluring strains Of the Vaudeville
'1Symph0ny Or hestra," and perhaps
that accounted for the fact that If
We ourselves did not wish to hear
what was going on in q literary way,
we either did not attend that part
OF the exercises, or II We attended,
We at least had enough consideration
for those surrounding us to remain
perfectly silent. Gradually we form
ed habit of appreciation for things
of more lasting value than dancing
has, although We did not ever decry
pleasure and its tonic effects.
Perhaps you have occasionally
read about those good old days, -
and wondered how your forefathers
lived through such strenuous endur-
ance of nervous tension. And still
they lived, worked, accomplished
things, and enjoyed life, and were
above all polite enough at least to
keep silent while speakers were on
the platform for the entertainment
OF the audience of which they were
q part.

Miss Morrell spoke Of the need
Of Social Service work, Of the failure
Of the past generations to suppress
or even discourage the great social
evil which is 80 steadily undermining
the very bulwarks Of national health
and development.
She urged greater and moro inc

and mothers in presenting to their
children the elementary facts Of be-
ing, candidly and honestly, thus saw
ing children the stupid and often
times vulgar relations which curiosi-
ty inspires.
Miss Morrell traced for her audi.
ence the consequences OF the social
evil in the production Of mental Dc.

and the futility of medical science &c

expressed the hope that the interest

It 10 hardly possible that the wo-

every time the fire alarm sounds.
Had they considered and thought OF
these things, they certainly would
not have voted the way they did.
But, it is much easier to allow some
one else to do thinking for you,
isn't It? To have sat down and
thought the problem out from all its
essential angles would have requilr
