Supervising Charity

YIOW to prevent waste by duplication, mposture and
n profeerng in charity has long been crying public
need. Washington might learn much from the Brook
Ign Federation of Jewish Charities proposed solution.
1t would have the Legislature create representative
central body with power to prevent prohibit drves
promscuous nature to attest the worthness and time
illness of campaigns for funds by charitable enterprises
which pass the muster of its scrutiny and to fix the time
when these respective drives shall take place
Its executive secretary, Max Abeman, truly points out
that:
'To give to charitable unintellgently is as
bad not giving at all. Unintellgent and needless
charity creates impostors and paupers The public
should and must be guided so that the good may be
conserved and the bad eliminated Haphazard philan-
throphy is peril, mushroom organizations waste,
and proper supervision an economy"
The practical question is not the need of drastic
pervsonthat is generally conceded 1t is how to exercise
snch control safely and fairly.

The March
of EUentS

cldeS. This Is due 10 tne Dusl-
ness depression and to unemploy-
ment and to the encouragement OF
the young men who thought they
were coming home from the war
to glory and who found that they
were coming home to oblivion,
neglect and want.
One young soldier sent his last
dollar to the Treasury of the United
States, which was proposing to pay
another five hundred million to the
railroads, but could not pay the
soldiers bonus, with a letter sar-
castically offering his last penny
to help the Government aid the
soldiers. Then he killed himself.
Quite a number of children COM
init suicide every year because they
are afraid of failing in their school
examinations. About an equal num-
Der of boys and girls suffer a mental
anguish of humiliation sufficient to
make life not worth living on &C
count of these examinations. The
girls kill themselves with poison
and the boys with revolvers.
This is all wrong, terribly wrong.
No school examination ought to
have such terrors for children. Some
discrimination ought to be used as
to promotion and refusal to pro-
mote.
The alchemy of the mind is so
subtle and affected by influences
that are so many, so varlously COM
bined and so transitory that it is
difficult to draw any general con-
illusions safely about child's
ability except within wide limits.
A child may not do well this year
and yet do excellently the next year
if his spirit is not broken by the
humiliation of being left behind his
class.
The boy or girl who is a confirmed
loafer and just won't study would
never commit suicide. 1t is the SEN
sitive, retiring child, who for some
reason or other, generally quite
apart from his intellectual ability
that year, finds it difficult to keep
up. These children make the best
citizens if they are not broken. Too
much Importance is given to the
exceptional scholar, and the teacher
is too frequently assuming that
children who don't keep up are
either incorrigibly stupid or lazy.
Moreover, teachers are too likely to
consider the loss of a year in the
life of child unimportant.
In any event, no school examina-
ton should have such terrors for
the child.
Forest fires have been reported in
New England. The greatest waste
of which wasteful America is guilty
is the waste of her precious forests,
through reckless, unscientifc ex-
ploitation and negligence, and the
destruction by fire through negli-
gence and Inadequate fire proven
ton methods.
The unnecessary, wasteful. crimi-
nal destruction of the greatest
bounty which nature gave us, the
magnificent forests which once
clothed our land, has already added
at least one-fourth to our increased
cost of living.
We must remember that the cost
of the destruction of our forests is
reflected not only in the price of
lumber and in the products of wood,
but in the destruction caused by
floods and in the destruction of
arabic soil, caused by the inability
of the water sheds, which used to
be covered with forests and are now
stripped as bare as a desert, to hold

Speaking of
Ambassadors

Honor ana DlSnohoI III ana
ma: A Chapter from The Life and
Letters of Walter H. Page" have
been distributed in official circles
here.
Mr.. Page, who died recently, was
President Wilson's ambassador to
Great Britain. It is fitting that the
dead should be treated with respect;
there are, however, matters of i'm
port to the American people which
are far more serious than even the
reverence due to a dead diplomat.
In one of his letters-it was ad-
dressed to Colonel House, then Presi-
dent Wilson's bosom friend-the
ambassador complained about Mr..
William Jennings Bryan, Secretary
of State of the United States, Mr..
Pages immediate chief.
cit was announced in one of the.
London papers the other day." he
wrote, "that Mr.. Bryan would de-
liver a lecture here. Now,
God restrain me from saying, much
more from doing, anything rash.
But if I've got to go home at all
I'd rather 60 before he comes. It'll
take years for the American am
bassadors to recover what they'll
lose if he carries out this plan"
The writer then complains that
Mr.. Bryan would send letter of
introduction to him on behalf of
"some nobody"
fortunately" the letter con-
tinues, "Mr. Asquith (the Prime
Minister) and got along mighty
well. He met Bryan once, and he
told me with a smile that he re-
garded him 'as a peculiar product
of your country
"He dashes off letters of introduc-
ton to people asking me to present
them to Mr.. Asquith, Lloyd George,
etc. In the United States we know
Mr.. Bryan. I'VE not only toler-
ate him; we like him. But when
he comes here as 'the American
Prime Minister goodbye, John"
1t is difficult to find temperate
words in which to rebuke the snob-
bish sentiments expressed by man
. selected to represent the American
citizenry. Nor, in the case of this
one ambassador, would it be worth
while. He truly represented the
Wilson Administration.
For the sake, however, of other
ambassadors whose eyes may be
, dazzled by the effulgent glory of
political life in foreign monarchies,
it might be well to utter a few
simple words of information.
The United States is representa-
tive democracy based upon con-
stitution adopted in 1887. Its am
bassadors and ministers in foreign
countries are supposed to represent
the government of free and a
very proud people who do not be-
lieve in kings and princes, who select
for their officials just whom they
please and who expect nothing from
their foreign representatives except
ing to keep them out of trouble
OF, to be more exact, not to get them
into trouble.
If an ambassador is ashamed of
the Secretary of State who hands
him his credentials, our Constitu-
ton gives him the right to say so
to the Secretary's face.
If an ambassador receives letter
of introduction asking him to intro
duce the bearer to some foreign
monarch or muck a-muck, he may
take it for granted that, in the eyes
of European aristocracy, the bearer
is nobody" Because, in the
eyes of the true European aristoc-
racy, all Americans are "nobodies. :"
