INSPECTION
FOR Fathers

NEW YORK. March 1S.-Whcn the
New York City Federation Of Womens
Clubs, Mrs. Eugene ]. Grant. OF Brook
lyn. president. hold Its Child Welfare
convention there was q speaker on
tho subject OF "Tho Responsibilities Of
Fathcrhood" DR.. Henry Neumann Of
the Ethical Culture Society told the
women why he thought fathers should
be n hit better than some Of them now
are. The time OF the convention was
not all consumed on such subjects NJ
milk and mothers and how to take
care OF the baby. Father was hauled
over the Goals.
OF course this talk about better
babies really means better parents. II
is the diplomatic way of telling the
mothers thdt they have been doing
everything all wrong. and Of urging
them to learn about their duties and
mend their ways. The baby Is really
the same old baby It has always been;
the same monopolist; the same &C.
centric creature. So most OF the work
of the convention was to suggest ways
for getting ahead Of the baby: TO make
It easier for the mothers; to cajole
the baby to sleep at tho proper time,
instead Of celebrating at night when
some Of us are not in the mood for 1t.
Thus far fathers have escaped crit
icism at mothers congresses. Father
has usually remained at homo and
scoffed some at the fact that these
conventions were always conducted by
old maids. In all tho popular schemes
for betterment, father had never
dreamed that the time would come
when the welfare workers would
nounce on him. He has even cher
ished the idea that II he paid the bills.
locked UP at night. shook down the
furnace, scolded about the gas bill
and wound the clock he has fulfilled
his part Of the contract. But this is
not so, according TO DR.. Neumann.
The women claim that fatherhood
is a business by itself; they say that
when the demand for better fathers
is popular enough, through a CAM
paign Of publicity worked up in sys-
tematic fashion, the facts put into
print the same as any other propa-
ganda, there will follow legislation to
place the fathers under inspection.
This is said to be the far step ahead
In femlnism.
At present everything in the home
except father Is under inspection
food, water, milk, insulation, dumb
walters, fire escapes, and II mother
shakes her dust mop out Of the win
dow the board Of health swoops down
on her and warns her not to do 1t
again. The housekeeping is standard

is needed to keep IL up TO the mark
of its class. II mother allows the
baby to cry too much the neighbors

under constant surveillance in one
way or another. Even club women
who are away from their children too

FOR THE SAKE OF BOYS.

Rev. John Empringham. an Epis- copal clergyman of New York, be- came, as he expressed it in an interde- nominational meeting of 500 minis ters, filled with the thought of how much power might be added to the anti liquor forces if the Episcopal church would lend some of it's strength" and, realizing that none of the present antisaloon speakers have the entree to its pulpits, volunteered for the work. He said to his wife: For the sake of our five boys, l am going to wage war against the liquor busi- ness" She replied; My sister in Canada has sacrificed her two boys in the trenches for England The foe destroying this country is more dan gerous. I am willing to make any sac ritice." Three of those five boys. ' said MT. Empringham, are preparing for West Point. and If the need ever came. 1 would be willing to see them give up their lives in defense of this country, but I am not willing to see them go down to the gutter. victims of the saloon"
 How about your boys?
