Chicago has had during the past year serious burglary epidemic than usual In eight months 6,555 burgaries reported to the police. The Chicago Herald has followed up these what happened the criminals Its findings afford material for pro tabe study of American methods of dealing with crime

SERENE AND SECURE.

Conditions in the Warren District in these stirring times distinctly comparable to those in Fl Paso and which inspire the Fl Paso Herald to publish the follow ing in a vein of factful serenity that empha- sizes the feeling of ellfounded security obtaining throughout this community:
 'The made as much noise last night sthe "agi taors and fire eaters" supposed by Washington make up the population of both sides of the Mexican border Never any city the face of the earth there queter night. with greater safety of per son and property than that which succeeded Wednes days sunset
 "exicans and Americans alike, both sides of the border are giving and have given admirable dem onstraon of good sound stability good discipline and friendliness
 "The situation created by the entry of the American troops into Mexico beginning their chase after the Villa bandits is novel for this generation at least good deal had been said in the past about the probable effects of such a movement. The American government at ious times has refraned taking necessary reasonable honest, and friendly steps, for fear its tves might be msconstrued and hostile provoked But those who know the Mexicans have believed that good many things might have been done, in good faith and with proper intentions without exciting them to unfound ed resentment
 "So far, it appears that Carranzas hold his military and civil subordinates is Whatever they may think privately and personally they obeying orders The Carranza forces n General Pershings neighbor- hood cooperating actively and there is to be-
 eve that other forces in Chihuahua and Sonora will either cooperate at least will not nterpose ob stacle to the fufllment of the American purpose
 >The movement offers excellent test of self control for the people of both countries The Mexcans have far demonstrated that they rely the good faith of the United States and the Americans taking it for granted that they moving through friendly and not hostile country their quest after the bandits The of the expedition and its final return without counerng any hostility other than the bandits de pend largely the mental attitude and personal con duct of the people on and near the border"

FITTING CHILDREN LIVE.

The children of well-todo parents today are unfortu nate says President Emeritus Eliot of Harvard speak ing for the General Educational Board, because they don't have to do house work farm work. Thus they miss the training of hand eye which played so large in the bringing up their forbears and which is more important in sound scheme education than theoretical book learning
 "The boy the farm" says Dr. Eliot "has admirable opportunities train eye ear and hand He can be al ways looking at the sky and the soils the woods the crops and the forests having familiar intercourse with many domestic animals using various tools" etc It is much the with the girl the farm Even the city child trained household talks has valuable advantages But ill general the rising generation lacks the training And is the duty of the public says Dr. Eliot to supply it.
 He would correct the deficiencies by "the in troduction of more hand, and eye work, such as drawing carpentry turning music sewing and cooking and the giving of much time the sciences of ob- servation-chemistry, physics, biology and geography
 In the rural and suburban schools he would emphasize gardening work and farm work In the city schools the boys would be given such al-round training that they would have a good toward entering trades.
 may be objected by some oldfashoned folk that this is all nonsenthat what boy or girl is sent to school is to learn things out of books But let any suc, critic ask himself this question and answer it honestly: How much do I remember of what | learned out of books in school| Or let him compare children today who taught nothing but bookearnng with those who are taught according the practical edeveopment and hand+raining system, and which have the readiei command of their knowledge and mastery of their pow CTS and better fitted to begin life

HOSPITALS AND DEMOCRACY.

 The board trying clear itself of the responsbil ty for the death boy admitted the county hospital as scarlet fever patient is said have contracted measles and dipthera while there.
 Accidents will happen with best of And over crowdng of hospitals sometimes leads to conditions gretted by those in charge who trying to minimize danger.

 Are you doing medical work for the county, are you filling newspaper position?" asked of the com missioners.
 It was very important it seems that the warden be not reflected upou that the commission save its face That the public know the truth about an old and out grown building with securing better conditions for the sick of little moment
 Much the same situation exists in New York where charitable institutions being investigated Instead Of joining forces with commission to get all possible publicity needs of the establishments there has been jealousy bitterness fear of losing jobs sadder com mentary upon democracy could hardly be made than these two instances.

Although jewel never shone more

All me! They came one day
They bore my gem away,
And in snowy casket laid it down.

And took it for His crown.
