A Home For Every Child.

There are two theories of how
best to care for dependent and neg
lected children. The older plan was
TO gather them in large institutions.
The other idea is to place them in
individual homes.
A social worker who recently
moved from New York, which has
highly developed the system of COM
uniting such children to large insti-
tutionS, moved to another State.
where the individual home method
is used. He said he had always re-
garded the individual home plan as
ideal. Yet when he saw how poor
ly some of these little waits Jared
he concluded that the orphans in
the big New York institutions I'm
der competent matrons were better
off.
The subject is suggested by an
effort tC establish the individual
home method for such children in
New Jersey. Other States are try
ing it out. 1t is ideally the correct
theory, yet has some abuses in prac-
tice.
The number of homeless children
is large. Many are made orphans
by death, but still more are prac-
tically so through drunkenness and
immortality of parents. The great
majority of people hesitate to take
a child from a low down home.
Thereby their Jurisprudence is apt
to deny them future happiness.
Most of these children under good
care develop well, and are a comfort
to their foster parents.
Some people take children not
because of a longing for child life
in the home, but for the work they
can squeeze out of them. They
drive them along like little pack
horses, regardless whether they are
getting any good training for life.
A boy from the slums may be get
ting plenty to eat in the country
home where he is placed, yet may be
truly neglected. He may run wild
and make trouble in a whole neigh
borhood or school. Children placed
in individual homes need careful
inspection by common sense people,
to make sure they are getting some
loving and motherly care.

School Notes

The storm last week cut dowr
school attendance considerably, es.
peclally in the lower grades. On
Wednesday afternoon it was con.
sidered best to dismiss the school
even though the building was en-
tlrely comfortable for use. Thurs.
day morning the attendance was
perhaps at its lowest mark wher
l68 pupils managed to get to school.
Thursday and Friday when the
temperatures outside were low, the
building was perfectly comfortable.
This was perhaps as good test OF
the heating system as has been
made since the improvements have
been made at the building.
Owing to the interrupted rail
road traffic Miss Goddard was un-
able to return last week, her class
es however were taken care Of by
'he other teachers.
Miss Seeley who visited at her
home over the week end was un-
able to return before Tuesday
morning.
The basket ball game Saturday
night was a failure from fnan-
clal standpoint, as the crowd was
small as compared with that of the
week before, and the receipts did
not cover the expenses Of the game.
Those who did face the cold wind
to see the game We're we'll repaid
for the effort for the game was a
closely contested one and in the
first half it appeared that it might
result in a tie.
The Webster players showed
little more speed and skill than the
Slsseton team that was here the
week before and the Milbank boys
had to increase their pace to win
the game. Milbank had an edge
on the Webster players in the mat
ter Of size and weight and they
certainly had better success at Gag
ing the ball. Captain Bingham
showed that he was hard man to
follow and succeeded in making
several long shots which helped the
score. Mckenna took advantage Of
his extra length and made num-
Der Of neat baskets after holding
the ball out of reach of the guard.
On almost every play at center he
handled the ball according to the
direction for the play which was
contemplated. Fenner and Coch-
rane have been mentioned by some
OF the spectators as perhaps,,niie
most graceful players on the Mil
bank team, both of them are light
on their feet and hard men to fol-
low. Taylor, who did so we'll in
the Sisseton game was not quite up
to the usual standard of his playing
as he was suffering from barked
knee which has given him consider
able trouble.
The game was characterized by
the numerous fouls and it seems
that. both teams were about equal
ly at fault in this respect. The
score at the end of the first half
was seven to eight in Webster's
favor and the final score was % to
l3 in favor Of Milbank. Officials:
Coach Feneca of Webster and Rev.
Isreal Of Milbank.
After the game an agreement
was made whereby the Milbank
team is to play a return game at
Webster on Friday Of this week.
