A Good Heart.

The signs Of goodness are many.
If a man be gracious and courteous
to strangers it shows that he is q
citizen Of the world and that his
heart is no island cut off from other
lands, but a continent that joins
them. If he be compassionate to-
ward the Affections of others it
shows that his heart is noble tree
that is wounded itself when it gives
its balm. Bacon.

The men and women who havo come

concerned with the welfare Of children.
Some Of them have worked for children
Tor years, somo only recently. II Is safe
10 say that not any Of them. until very
fecently, realized the extent. and the
seriousness Of the child problem in this
state. Facts and figures were not easily
available and the purely local condi-
tions which come to the attention Of in
6ividuals were not spectacular enough
20 cause any loud or insistent warnings.

Gems Interested IN public education in

wears that the health OF Wilmington
school children was far below normal
but 10 was not until we saw the de
r1ands OF war on our strength and re-
Sources, that we began TO seek the un-
Vanished truth about child health IN

alarming that we refused al first to be- |

however, only piled up The evidence ]
and Increased the responsibility. Tho ,
Statements we have published have |
been guarded in the extreme and have |
beer based almost wholly on general |
averages. Figures and descriptions OF |
some Of the special conditions. and Of |
individual districts in Wilmington and /

less they could be actually counted and

Mrs. Miller then produced figures

WISDOM IN JUDGES CHAKGt
Irish Jurist Warned "Good Men and
True" Against Being "obfust''
Gated" by the Lawyers.

Round the library fire in the -Four
Courts, Dublin, Irish barristers long
have gathered to spin yarns OF their
profession while waiting for briefs
One Of these stories was Of novel
charge to a jury given by a Gaelic
Judge, which is recalled by writer
in the Irish World, as follows:
"Gentlemen Of the jury" judge be'
gan when counsel for the defense had
concluded an eloquent and elaborate
address. "Gentlemen of the jury, there
are two courses. do you observe, to be
adopted by counsel. The first Is sin-
ple enough. If he has a middling case
he endeavors to convince the jury.
But if he has no case at all, If the
evidence is all one way and the guilt
of the prisoner is as plain, do you see'
as the nose on his face. and no one
but a fool or a. juror could be asked
to- have a doubt about it, then counSe'
endeavors to obfusticate the jury For
counsel seems to think that when in
telligent men come into a jury box
they hang up their common sense Win
their hats and coats on the pegs De-

FOR MORE Community MUSIC
Boston Newspaper Makes Strong Point
Of It's Value In Creating
Sense Of Unity.

The growth of community music
means many things, remarks the Bos-
ton Herald. 1t means an endless
source of pure pleasure to those who
listen, and far more to those who par
ticipate. 1t means a mighty stimulus
to the love and understanding of good
music. It means that at last we are
beginning to weary Of being enter
tained by others and mean to create
and perform our own music, through
our own efforts. Most important of
all, it means that America is discover
ing at last that she is united nation
and is expressing her joyful sense Of
unity in song.
Let US see that the children have
their share in this national awakening,
a voice in this national chorus. Let
every village, town and city gather it's
young people and train them for a
community chorus or orchestra. There
could be no surer means Of making
them loyal to each other and to their
country and Of preparing~a musical
future for the nation.
The word war has taught us, for one
thing, how to come together as a COM
munity for spiritual expression in
song. We shall he the richer if we
preserve and cultivate this practice.
