Its ramffca uons extend far more widely into our social fabric both in rural and city communities than the mn initiated imagine. It demands state support for it's proper settlement, as well state legislation and public benevolence."
 Each state is confronted with the necessity of seeing that both the charitable and economic sides of the problem handled with little individual sui fering possible.
 There is a need for improved organization. not only among social workers and philan thropists but among institutions The proper solution demands a high degree Of medical and sociological skill as well the necessary financial support, it is only by this that the and public can fulfill it's duty to the unmarried mother and the child

ErankIIn's Birthday

Two hundred and fifteen years ago today, Janu- ary IT, 17O6, there born in Boston, Benjamin Franklin, the son of tallow chandler, the youngest of seventeen children "that genius" in the language of Phillips the Irish orator, who freed America and poured a copious stream of knowledge throughout Europe" One hundred and thirty-one years ago he died in Philadelphia. His career filled with great things. Few excelled him printer a journalist, diplomat. statesman. or philosopher
 If for no other reason. Franklin would be re- embered as the author of Poor Richards Almanac" the reputation of which he established in its first number, purely by it's literary merit, He then twenty-six years of age and for twentysx years he was its editor It has said of the almanac that this annual was looked forward to by larger DOT ton of the colonial population and with more i'm patience than awaits presidents annual mes sage to congress- The is credited with hav ing more readers in the English any other lan- guage than any other publication except the Bble
 Perhaps if the almanac had waited until now, in the vast sea of publications it would not have at tracted much popular attention The thoughts and precepts of Franklin been expressed in thous- and ways since, as they had been before by the philosophers of every age and every tongue. But century and half ago there not wide choice of reading. Books and high priced There was little available cheap literature rather good literature. in cheap form. Thus the almanac as revelation But there a compelling simplicity in the presentation of the precepts and they covered the whole scheme of life. Here some of Frankln's views on the virtues:
 TEMPERANCE: Eat not to dullnsss; drink not to elevation
 SILENCE: Speak not but what may benefit others yourself; avoid trfIng conversation.
 ORDER; Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have it's time.
 RESOLUTION; Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.
 FRUGALITY: Make expense but to do good to others or yourself; waste nothing.
 INDUSTRY: Lose time; be always ployed in something useful.
 SINCERITY; Use hurtful deceit; think innoeently and justly and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
 JUSTICE; Wrong by doing injuries, or emitting the benefits that your duty. . MODERATlON Avoid extremes forbear re- senting injuries much you think they de-
 
 CLEANLINESS; Tolerate nc uncleanIiness in. body, clothes habtaton.
 TRANQUILITY; Be not disturbed at trifes, at accidents common unavoidable.
 HUMILITY: Initiate Jesus and Socrates.
 Franklin was of the few doctors who took their own medicine He lived up to his precepts and no doubt that was one of the reasons why he was able to live to the age of s4 and preserve his mental vgor. The rules of his life good today as they were century and a half ago and they will lose their force.
