DELIVERING WATER IN QUITO
Aquadores Have Their Own Method Of
Doing Ii, and 1t Is Somewhat
Humorous.

About a fountain in one of the prin-
cipal squares of Quito, the capital of
Ecuador, assemble every morning the
cfty's aguadores. These water porters
differ from the less energetic ones of
some South American cities in carry
ing their jars upon their backs instead
of on the backs of mules. Their earth
en- jars are deep, have single mouth,
and hold about forty pints.
The porter carries it on his shoulder
fastened with leather straps. He never
detaches himself from his jar either to
fill it or to transfer its contents to that
of his customer.
He turns his back to the fountain so
that the jar comes under one of the
jets of water and listens to the sound
of the water in the jar, and his ear is
SO well trained that he always walks
away at the exact moment when it is
filled to the brim.
Arriving at the house of customer,
he goes to the household jar, makes
deep bow, and disappears behind a tor
rent of water. Foreigners can never
receive without laughing the visit of
their aguador, the respectful little man
who bows to one behind the cataract of
water.

BOYS AND GIRLS
More Child Work Might Result in
Less Child Labor.
LET INTEREST GROW SLOWLY
How the Young Folks Activities Can
Be So Directed as to Benefit
Their Mental and Physi-
cal Health.
By sIDoNIE M. eRuENsERe.

GUNNER or later we are going to be
- shamed into abolishing child labor
IN this country. 1t is difficult to find
a single enthusiastic defender of the
system that grinds the lives of little
children into textiles and hardware
and breakfast foods while grownups
walk about YEARLY in search of work.
ana there are more and more persons
every day becoming enthusiastic in adj
vancing the notion that the children
are TO be saved for human living. In
the meanwhile, however, most children
seem obliged to choose between the
labor offered them and demoraIizing
drifting and loafing.
First of all we should clear I'D the
perplexing confusion between work
and labor. We speak of peoples work.
Dut hardly realize that the bulk of the
population is engaged in performing
Tor hire various kinds of service in
which they are not at all interested.
Most people labor for wages, doing
what they are directed to do, in a
large proportion of cases having no
understanding and no concern as to the
outcome of their efforts This is the
kind of ''work'' that is offered to most
children when they leave the schools
and go to the factories and mills and
shops.
Now there is nothing to be said in
defense of anyone spending his days
at that sort of thing except that he
needs the money and does not see any
other way of getting it. On the other
hand. the opportunity to keep busy do
ing something that is worth while.
something that has an obvious purpose
and interest to the worker is the kind
OF opportunity that every child should
nave. Because the worlds work has
become so organized as to leave only
drudgery for children and for most
parents, the early experiences of most
children effectually prevent the devel-
opment of a healthy attitude toward
work The adults hate their daily oc-
equations. and it is not apparent that
application will bring returns in pro-
portion to the eNertions made; as a
partial result the children grow I'D in
an atmosphere unfavorable to the spir-
1t of workmanship. There is eyery
temptation to shirk, every suggestion
for escaping responsibility
In addition to this unfavorable at
mosphere there is the absence, in most
homes and in most schools, of the op-

Anah1ns is very cheap cnaa -S--
the child's education in work. The
dress that little girl makes for her

one bought in the store, and it may
even cost more in materials and atten-
ton from olders; but it is worth at
least two or three of the dresses that

chemist, but he ought to learn how to
carry out more and more complex COM
blnations of processes and to take sat-
lsfact1on in getting results.
IL IS not to be expected that all
homes VIII ever be equipped with the
variety of materials and tools that will
give each kind of work interest its
opportunity to experiment. 1t is all
the more important that the school
should give children, from the earliest
years, the experience of planning and

Faith and Siaht.

Faith is always, in an important
sense, the antithesis of sight. 1t al
ways indicates an element of the un-
seen and unknown somewhere in the
matter. No doubt faith and sight
stand in a close connection with each
other, and often seem to run over, so
to speak, into one another. Faith. in
its true and sane sense, cannot live
without some foothold on what we
may call sight. But faith in itself is
precisely that which ventures out be-
yond sight, and moves and works in
the dark, in the unseen, in the un-
known--Bishop Moule.

projects. In connection with the plays
and festivals, in connection with the
dramatization of literature and history,
In connection with the publication of
school papers, in connection with par
ties and entertainments, the better
schools today furnish the children op-
portunities to do real work in a wide
range of materials. The sewing and
cooking, the painting and carpentery
work, the designing and planning,
make up the very substance of abound
ing life. If we had more work perhaps
there would be less labor-for adults

The Child Would Much Rather Do
Something Than Sit Down and
Watch Someone Else Do Ii.

portunlty to acquire work interests.
The child is naturally active; the
child would ever so much rather do
something than sit still or watch some
one else do it Indeed, that is one of
the reasons we have so much difficulty
keeping him lin order at home and at
school But this activity is either sup
pressed or it is directed into channels
that cannot hold the interest. Writing
compositions or parsing sentences or
doing sums is not quite active enough
for most healthy boys and girls. They
want to do something with their
hands; they want to make something
that will be there to be seen and I'M
derStood and appreciated when it is
finished.
For the child's physical health, as
well as for his mental health he needs
the opportunity to do real work, to
produce real results. This is quite as
necessary as athletics or gymnastics
and quite as necessary as 'riting or
'rithmetic. But in most homes there
is little or nothing that the child can
do, nothing that is worth while in an
educative way. Then, the homes that
still have opportunities for work
should utilize these just as far as pos
Sible in the child'S development.
The child's interest in work as an
accomplishment must grow. One of
the ways of killing that interest is by
overlooking it early in the child's life.
This interest should grow slowly and
unconscfously out of the play interest
AT its best, the work interest cannot
be distinguished from the play inter
est This is seen when a man like
Huxley, devoting himself through
years of hardship to most arduous re-
search, asks to be considered an "ama-
teur," worker for the love of the
work And this is seen with all great
artists and inventors and organizers
We know how the child's play shifts
from aimless movements to the imita-
tions of the activities of his elders,
from mere manipulation of objects
and materials to the planned and pur-
poseful making" of things. When the
child once reaches this stage there
