Taking Care of Girls

Captain Burnside, of Indianapo-
lis, is not a returned soldier, nor
even the head of the fire DEPART
ment. Rather, she is in charge of
the women's police department,
which consists Of twenty-three
members at present, and which
has handled more than four thou
sand cases during the past year.
Indianapolis was known not
many years ago as "the tport of
missing women" That was in the
day when the city was filled with
notorious dives where fallen wo-
men congregated.
The city is being rapidly cleaned
up by the women's police depart
ment. Last year, this branch of
the city government picked up
1907 missing girls who were drift
ing into lives Of sin, and succeeded
in putting most of them back upon
the right track. So successful was
the work that the Indianapolis
Board Of Public Safety recently
made the following statement:
"We consider the department of
policewomen one of the most eff
fective and efficient arms of the
police organization Of Indian
apolis."
The idea of a women's police de-
partment has been adopted by
most American cities of any size.
AS rule, the women policemen"
do not wear uniforms; and usually
they do not arrest offenders but
take care of them in an informal
manner that gets them free and
starts them on the right road with
out laying upon them the handicap
OF a Jail or prison record, which
seems to make nearly impossible
forever the reformation of girls or
women gone wrong.

The Problems of
HOME AND FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters
New Light Coming to Parents

In preceding articles on the
training Of children, it has been re-
peatedly suggested that we should
make use Of their natural impulses
in guiding them into the activity
which is indispensable to their
growth and development.
We have known, of course, that
this is contrary to every tradition
of our civilization. For civilized
man has long since come to look
upon the instincts of children as
thoroughly bad and as something
that should be utterly rooted out
and destroyed.
1t is hard to say it; but this
view Of the natural impulses Of
children came in with the rise OF

Men Play Deep Game

Just as the women of America,
with their promising National
League of Women Voters, have
had the. men who study politics
guessing for some time past, so the
men who make our laws at Wash
ington have been keeping the wo-
mems organizations of the country
guessing of late as to the meaning
of several recent actions, some of
which seem to look toward and
some away from disarmament and
permanent peace.
Both houses, for example, have
approved a bill for naval appro-
priations so stupendous as to make
us the greatest naval power of the
Earth within few years. This
seems to indicate a determination
to make the United States great
military nation, which is something
that women very strongly dis
approve.
At the same time, however, our
Congress has let it be known that
it favors the so-called naval holi-
day and will do what it can to
bring it to pass.
What can be the meaning of two
such contradictory actions? APP
parently, it is to serve notice upon
other nations that our desire for
peace is not born of weakness and
fear, as they seem ready to believe.
Much as we deprecate war, it is
not clear that we have any right
as yet to censure Congress in the
course it has taken. At any rate
we can easily see that other ma
tions migat take to the disarma-
ment idea much more readily if
they were first convinced that they
had no chance Of winning in COM
petition with us for naval and mil
ltary supremacy.

among the city's few "dollar a
year" officials.
Mrs. Loft, who was appointed
last month, is to have a staff of
sixty police sergeants and lieute-
nants and twenty-eight police
women for welfare work alone. AS
she has it planned, the work Of
her department is to be chiefly pre-
vention rather than correction.
The slogan of her force is prevent
arrest if possible; and the rule is
to take such offenders as are picked
up not to the police station to be
locked up but to the so-called wo-
mems precinct, which is a sort Of
detention home where they can be
kept until positions can be found
for them In this way, they are
spared both the prison record and
the evil influences of the hardened
criminals whom they would meet
in the station cells.
Mrs. Loft States her plan thus:
~ want to give my individual at
tention as much as possible to the
girls. Many who have in the past
been detained for a night or two
have come in contact with old
time offenders who have planted
seeds of evil in their minds. ]
hope to keep as many as twenty
five girls in our dormitories at the
precinct. They will be prisoners.
Of course, but will be free from
contamination; and we shall see
that they are started on the right
road on their release"

What the Other Side Says

The people who oppose the pri-
mary system take the view that
the party bosses actually have no
more trouble in attaining their
ends under the primary than under
the convention system. Perhaps
the best statement we have had of
this side of the case is that given
below, which was made short
time ago by a committee Of the
New York Bar Association:
Speaking practically, no nomi-
nations are, or ever can be made,
without some kind of private or
public conferences or conventions.
Under the present system of direct
primaries, the party leaders DELHI
crate privately and prepare what
is Familiarity known as a slate.
They inform their lieutenants of
their conclusions; and the latter
then proceed to procure the neses-
sary number of signatures to the
petitions to the end that the de-
cisions Of the party leaders may
be confirmed at the primaries and
those slated for nomination may
be designated as nominees. It is
a truism that in the vast majority
of nominations, the direct primary
election merely consists of the
adoption and confirmation of the
slate prepared by the party lead
ers. The conferences Of the party
managers are held in secret. No
accredited delegates attend it.
Only those hidden to the feast are
privileged to partake of it. The
rank and file of the enrolled voters
are blissfully ignorant of the plans
of those in control of the party
machinery until information as to
the prosition is vouchsafed. The
present primary tends to entrench
the party leaders behind barbed-

Christianity and is a relic Of the
narrow, bigoted, intolerant type of
religion that dominated the
thought of spiritual leaders during
the early middle ages. They be-
lieved that all of life is religion;
they sensed some sort of antagon-
ism between religion and the natu-
raj impulses of children; and so
they decided that the instincts
we're wholly evil and should be re-
pressed and if possible extirpated.
Of course parents and teachers
of the present time are not bound
by any such narrow conception
either of religion or Of child nature.
Instead Of subscribing to the doc
trine of infant damnation" and
discipline by force and fear, we are
beginning to see that children are
not truly bad at heart, that their
natural impulses are not evil or
vicious, and that the little ones
should be led, rather than driven
or intimidated, if we would have
them right-minded, self-governing
individuals when they have grown
up.
But we know more than this
now. We know that the instincts
cannot be repressed or extirpated
without actually stunning or de-
forming either mind or body. The
penalty is death, weakness and i'm
potence, or bodily or mental dis
tortion. Who would pronounce q
sentence of this sort upon our
children? Yet this is what we
have been trying to do for centuries
The only reason why we have
failed is that the impulses of ma
ture were too strong for our weak
efforts to crush or thwart.
The great problem in bringing
up children is not how we may
crush out their natural impulses,
fbut how we may lead or guide
them into the activity that shall
bring growth Of mind and body;
and strangely enough, we see now
that this was precisely what Ma
ture was trying to do when she
gave them the impulses which we
call the instincts.
