8N With startling suddenness tho way has been opened,
and there are few things in the history Of the jewish
people more dramatic than the manner In which assur-
ance has been given that at last, after centuries Of hone-
iessness. the jews are once more to be Reconstructed as one

Mention Of this matter just now is prompted by .ne
fact that a meeting is to be held in Grand Forks tomor-
row evening at which Rabbi Matt Of Minneapolis. and
DR.. Willis Of the university will be the speakers, which
is called for the purpose Of presenting to the Jewish
people Of the city particularly the need that exists for

all have a little of that gray matter
in the top of our noodle, 1 do not see
why we shall not use it, and not let
the gang tell us what to do and not
do. They surely have shown us who
is the boss when they claim that all
the amendments as passed. when
they were not. 1t looks to ME as the
people and taxpayers of this state
have no more to say then the man
in the moon, but I hope hat before
they are through, that our repre-
sentatives and senators will have
backbone and will-power enough to
show those leaders where their road
to their home is, and give them such
a send-off that they will never show
their faces in this state again. Here
is wishing that they will show the
bosses where to get off at.
Yours truly,

THE BETTER DAYS.

The better days lie just ahead
Not with the past among the dead.
Our finest hours are all to be,
Life's best our eyes are still to see,
And yet men sigh and dwell upon
The joys that were and long have
gone.
Wise men deplored, in centuries old
That men had turned their thoughts
to gold
And seemed to present glories blind
While ~treasuring those they'd left
behind.

that the death rates for such dis

! that trachoma is common among
children in the mountain section and

But it is encouraging that the death

estate and county administration
of public schools is subject to the
uncertainties of politics. The offices
of State superintendent of public in
struction and of county superinten-
dent of schools are gained only
through political activity and cam
paigns for support at the polls. The
salary of a county superintendent
of schools is so limited by law that
competent persons ordinarily will not
consider the position, although cities
are not restricted either by a system
of political preferment in selecting
or by the fiat of law
in fixing their pay.

there, thoroughly good work is be-
ing done, but the general attitude is
that of indifference. The people have
no better provisions for the health,
care, protection, schooling and play
of their children than they them
selves have demanded, and the con-
ditions are no worse than they have
been content with. Whatever the
shortcomings of the State may be in
all these fields, they are chargeable
to the people and to the people
alone. 1t is this popular inertia that
must he overcome before any real
advance can be made, and 1t is
cheering to know that it is already
by way of being overcome, for mani
festations of an awakened spirit are
now distinctly perceptible. The auth
Ors of this volume, as they went
about the state, found the people
nearly everywhere in a receptive
mood and ready to respond to cap
able leadership.
"Action in so vital matter should
not be precipitate nor i'll considered,
and it is believed that the wisest
course is to devote some time to a
study of the situation so as to
awaken public interest and insure
the use of measures adapted to the
conditions peculiar to this State. 1t
is not a good plan to pass laws and
make changes simply because other
states have passed the same laws and
made the same changes; all steps
taken must be on sure ground and
can be determined only through
careful thought and study. To this
md it is suggested that the Governor

qualified persons to serve without
pay, as a temporary commission

rial Assembly at its next session

report upon the standardizing, sim
Iplifying and ordinating of all the
State laws concerning children and
upon suitable means for their admin
Iistration. A small appropriation
should be granted to the commission
for expenses. Such a report Is what
is known in this country as a "Chil-
Idren's Code" but as a matter of fact
the laws on child welfare are not
codified by such commissions in the
sense of being brought together to
form one body-they are left in their
respective places on the statue books,
the health provisions in the general
health laws, the labor provisions in
the general labor laws, and so with
the other provisions-but are so
modified and supplemented as to
form a we'll artculated whole, in ac-
cord with modern thought and prac-
,tice when considered as to their
standards and their bearing upon
one another. Instead of "Children's
Code Commission" the purposes of
such a temporary body would he
more clearly indicated if given the
name of Commission for the tSand-
aTilizing of Child Welfare Laws"
but the former has the advantage
of being the shorter term and is,
therefore, preferred in popular usage.
Perhaps in place of a temporary
commission it would be well to in
struct the cooperative Council to
prepare and submit such a report;
this council was recently organized
to act as a clearing house and plan
ming board for all agencies engaged
in Statewide social service.
'In submitting this report we set
forth our gratitude to the many pub
lie officials and officers in private
societies who have given us help and
encouragement in the collecting of

THE CHILD WELFARE

Following is a summary Of the
findings of the National Child La
Dor Committee, as a result of study
made of all phases of the child well
fare problem in Kentucky by staff
of specialists who came to the State
at the invitation Of the Kentucky
Child Labor Association, the State
Board of Health, the State Fedora
zion of Women's Clubs, the Louis
vile Welfare League and other agen-
cies. The Forthcoming report, which
will make a volume of $50 pages, and
will be published early in November,
as a public document, will contain
chapters on Public Health, by Fl. H.
Mitchell M. d.; the School, by Mrs.
Elizabeth Bliss Newhall and Miss
Alexina Booth; Recreation, by Ray
mond G.. Fuller; Rural Life, by
Charles E. Gibbons; Child Labor, by
Mrs. Lorraine B. Bush; Juvenile
Courts, by Mabel Brown Ellis; Law
and Administration, by Wiley H.
Swift. The study was directed by
Edward N. Cooper, Ph.D., from
whose introduction to the volume the
following excerpts are taken:
"There are in the State about l.
100000 boys and girls under 20
years of age whom 20 per cent. live

rural districts. The welfare of chill
