Ii Is seldom that there is not a quarrel in progress among those persons that make their living by speculating in public amuse-n-.ent enterprises. A somewhat amusing wrangle is now occurring in which are involved Clyde Fitch, a play-writer; George V. Lederer, prominent a few years ago with the Casino extravaganzas and musical comedies; Oscar Hammerstein, who has built a string of theaters in the metropolis and lost several fortunes, and Louis Nethersole, brother of the famous Olga, and husband and manager of Sadl? Martinot. Mr. Fitch Is a prolific maker of popular, because Ingeniously-extravagant, melodramas. Most of them have to .do with New York's smart tet. One of them is "The Way of the World." In which Klsie De Wolfe, a society woman and actress, has been the principal player. Recently fche and her company took the stage of Mr. Hamrr.erstein's Victoria Theater, and the reports sent out by her business management were that the rlay was a great success. Hut last week the company suddenly ceased to present the play. Mr. Lederer. Miss De Wolfe's manager. eaid that Mr. Hammerstein had for some unknown reason forced the company out of his theater. Mr. Hammerstein said that the public did not care for the play and it was useless to continue to offer it. Several weeks ago Miss Martinot. who was acting in another of Mr. Fitch's dramas. "The Marriage Game," In the Lastern cities, lapsed into idleness. Mr. Nethersole said he had decided to give the company a vacation until he could obtain a New York theater. It Is announced that en to-morrow night Miss Martinot and her assistants will begin a series of performances of "The Marriage Game" at Mr. Hammerjte in s lctoria. Älr. I lten is in the attitude of opposing a producer of one of his plays, for he is a friend of Miss De Wolfe and Is financially interested In her success and Is incensed at Mr. HammerStein, who is permitting Mr. Nethersole's company to use his theater after putting Miss De Wolfe out. Mr. Fitch's "The Marriage Game" is an adaption of Emlle Angler's "Le Marriage D'Olympe." but Mr. Nethersole says that In his contract with Mr. Fitch it appears that the programmes must state that the original play was the younger Alexandre Dumas'. In order to save himself from being ridiculous, Mr. Nethersole explains, he will have the programme Fay that though Mr. Fitch asserts he took his play from Alexandre Dumas work. It really is from a drama by Augler. Mr. Nethersole will thus succeed In ridiculing1 Mr. Fitch, which no doubt will be a great joke to the former, whether or not the public find It comic. This complication, contributed to as it is by several persons prominent in the American drama, throws light on the exceeding dignity of that institution. Regarding Mr. Hammersteln's affairs it Is Interesting that besides his devotion to art he pays attention to Inventing devices to expedite the manufacture of cigars. He has made thousands of dollars out of these Inventions and soon will make more thouHands out of several new Ideas he has formulated on the subject. Last fall be lost J30.Ü0O In an attempt to make stars of the Russell brothers, two comedians whose rough caricatures of Irish servant girJs are familiar to patrons of the variety theaters. Mr. Hammerstein wrote the book and music of an entertainment that he named "Sweet Marie." The New York theater-goers cared neither for the show ror the Russell brothers' method In it, and the life of the project was short. Notes of the Stncre. A dispatch from Rome says that during Puse's tour of the United States, which probably will be next season, she will act in Gabriele D'Annunzio's new tragedy of 'Franceses da Rimini." Weber and Fields have instructed their burlesque writer. Edgar Smith, to see what he can do with "The Girl and the Judge." b new play by Clyde Fitch, in which Annie Kussel, Mrs. tJilbert. Orrin Johnson and others are acting at the New York Lyceum. The current caricature at the Weber-Kleids theater is of "A Message from Mars," which is now being played seriously in the East by Charles Hawtrey, an English comedian, and his company. XXX The engagement of the Bostonlans at English's Opera House Is for a performance to-nfght only. They will sing Smith and De Koven'a "Maid Marian." a sequel to their "Robin Hood." Reviews of the entertainment In other cities have generally praised the music and the singing of It. Th criticisms of another comic opera to be shown at English's this week also havo Wen complimentary. This is "Dolly Varden." to be sung on Wednesday and Thursday nights by Lulu Glaser and her company. XXX Julia Arthur Is to return to the stage. She has ordered an equipment of scenery for "A Winters Tale." and will go from her home in Huston to New York soon to take charge of the production. When she retired from the stage, about a year age. the announced that she would not returr to It. but evidently its attraction lj too strong for her prejudice against it. She hist acted in this city In "More than tjueen." a version of the love story of NalKieon and Josephine, and previously he was seen here at the head of :l company presenting a dramatization of Frances Hodgson Rurnett's "A Lady of Quality " Several years ago Miss Arthur was marlied to 11.

CHILDREN'S CARE.

CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) various sizs are assigned to the same family or division. The baby just learning to prattle, i placed in the anu division with boys or girls of Ixte en, and all the Intermediate grades, where they soon come to look upon one another as brothers and sisters; and It Is a delight to the heart of the child-lover to note the tender care with which these older children look after the comfort and safety of these little ones. EDUCATION OF CHILDREN. "The subject of the education of the children receives the most profound thought and attention. A competent corps of teachers is employed, and the schools embrace all grades, from kindergarten to first year high school. Beyond that, the age limit, which forces the child to leave the home at the age of sixteen years, prohibits him from passing. The work done In the school will compare favorably with that done In our best public schools, notwithstanding the fact that the older pupils attend school but one half day during the school year of ten months. "Manual training, to the Importance of which all thoughtful minds are awakening, forms a very important part of the education of the girls and boys of the Indiana Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home. To train the mind, the eye and the hand to work In unison, to train the muscles to do the will of the brain to the satisfaction of the eye, is to place in the hands of a young person a weapon with which he may fearlessly meet the world. This fact is fully recognized by the management of the home, and teachers are employed in all branches of manual labor that it has been found practicable to introduce into the Institution, and manual instruction goes hand in hand with the literary education of the child. It may be said that the training of the brain, the eye and the hand begins upon the day the child first enters the home, and continues until the day of his departure therefrom. Although the children are admitted at a very early a&c, few are so small but some task suitable to their strength is given them. Much of this training they receive unconsciously, with no idea that they are learning anything of particular value to themselves, but with the thought that the comfort and well-being of the entire division, or family, of which they are a part depends upon their performance of every task in the best possible manner. "Perhaps the first lesson that a child receives in manual training is the care of his own person and his belongings. Neatness and precision are taught in the brushing, folding and putting away of clothing and the miscellaneous articles of which every child is the possessor, and in the polishing of shoes and properly adjusting them to the foot. These things would probably not come under the head of manual training, but they lead up to it, and are important to the success of the future manualist. "As the strength of the child increases, greater tasks are given. The boys are taught to keep the cottages clean and neat. The lioors are carefully swept and mopped and every particle of dust removed. The eye is trained In the arrangement of the furniture; the books are neatly arranged in their eases; porches are cleaned, dormitories aired, beds neatly made, rooms put in order, closets and washrooms receive the proper attention and lawns and play grounds are kept clean and freo from rubbish. WORK DONE BY GIRLS. "Th? same work is done by the girls In the main building, especial attention being given to the proper care of the dormitories. This work is superintended by the governesses, while the work in the halls and in the private rooms is done under the supervision of the housekeepr. "When the child reaches the age of thirteen years his manual training proper begins. The condition of these children renders It imperative that they earn their own living after they leave the home, and superintendent, governesses and teachers are anxious that each child should receive such training as is compatible with its disposition, ability and natural tendencies, of which they make a study, and while the boys and girls are given the choice of the kind of training they shall receive, or the particular trade they shall learn, they are guided In their choice by these ofllcers, who harmoniously work together to secure the greatest good of the child. "Owing to the limited time given a child in which to learn a trade, it is the judgment of the management that it Is belter to learn one thing well than to half learn many things. Therefore, after making a choice one-half of every day is given to manual training, the other to literary studies, although this does not prevent the performance of many tasks out of school or work hours. "Usually the chosen trade Is the life vocation of the Individual. Especially is this true of the boys; while the training the girls receive fits into almost every condition of their after life. And so it Is that the boys devote their mornings, or their afternoons, to learning farming, gardening, floriculture. baking, engineering, dairying, i-hoemaklng, tailoring, carpentering, printing and stenography. The uirls and I am sorry to say that there are not so many trades for the girls as thero are for the boys spend the half of each day in sewing (this includes plain dressmaking), cooking, tailoring and stenography. I speak of cooking in a twofold sense. Every girl who remains until she reaches the age limit sixteen years is required to take the course in the cooking school. In addition to this, a number are assigned to the different kitchens, where they receive practical everyday experience under the dlrction of a competent, practical instructor. GIRLS CAREFULLY TAUGHT. "The girls are carefully taught the arrangement of tables and dining room and serving at table, becoming very graceful and proficient in this work. Every girl is taught general housework so far as practicable in an institution where everything must be done on such a magnified scale. The effort to make the home as nearly as possible an approach to the private home is an aid in this direction. In addition to these things they are taught in their division rooms to sew, to darn, to mend their own clothing and that of the younger children, and to do various kinds of needlework. Although we do not call it by such a high-sounding name, is not this 'domestic economy?' "ironing is not taught as a trade, but every girl of usual physical strength is detailed at stated times to work in the ironing room. Washing is done by machinery, and Is done by paid help, with the assistance of a boy to run the engine. All the clothing for the girls and the underclothing for the boys Is made in the sewing room, and the greater part done by the girls. Tailoring, stenography and typewriting are given to both boys and girls. Two other trades might be taught to both sexes could certain obstacles be overcome. These are printing and floriculture, but as this would necessitate a woman superintendent in each department it is not done. The result of this system has in the main been satisfactory. There is always room for improvement, however, and each year an effort Is made to excell all previous years in child training along the various lines. Plans are now being perfected by which a new and enlarged system of manual training will be introduced Into the home shops, and the eagerness with which the pupils are looking forward to the completion of the preparations encourages us to believe that satisfactory results will be obtained. "In the present age strenuous efforts are being made, and worthily made, to find homes for the unfortunate children of our country who are deprived of the three things to which every child born into the world Is entitled, namely, home, parents I and brothers and sisters. It sometimes beI comes necessary to explain to the zealous I men and women who are working in this ( cause the relation we sustain to these ehilttren under our tare, and to try to convince j thenv that we are making an effort to find j homes for them outside the institution. I "Home life is the natural life, and the j best, provided always that it is a good 1 home; and by that I mean good in the highest sense. Good In its iniluenee touching the ph steal and moral training of the child. Unfortunately such homes are not always open to receive these unfortunate homeless little ones. The laws under which the Indiana Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home is administered does not require the management to place children in homes, although It permits us to do so, undtr certain conditions, where the board of trustees Is convinced that It I for the best interest of tlie child; and this we are constantly doing. "It Will be remembered th.it these children are the children of soldiers. Next to the family tie. none are so strong as that which exists between the men who fought sl'le by side In defense of their homes and their country. For this reason the Indiana Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home has been from the U-glr.ning under the special care and surveillance of the Grand Army of the Republic, and Its auxiliary, the Woman's Relief Corps. No soldier visits

the Institution who does not feel his heart throb with emotions, both sad and tender, at sight of the children of his dead or unfortunate comrades. For this reason every Grand Army post, every Woman's Relief Corps is the special agent of the Orphans' Home, and are not only opening their own homeis to these orphan children, but are finding homes for them among their friends. Nor is this all. They have established themselves agents to watch over them, to love and care for them, and promptly report when they are not well treated. HOMES PROVIDED. "During the administration of the present superintendent, which covers a period of ten years, 1.06S children have been regularly discharged and gone Into homesmore than . one hundred every year an avrage of more than two every week. This does not Inchide those discharged on account of continued absence or death. Of these ninety-six have been Indentured. This work has been done by the officers and employes of the homo and the good friends of the children. "In the meantime we have tried to make this an ideal Institutional home for those who remain. The discipline Is maintained by a strong hand guided by a sympathetic heart. The children look upon this as their home, and there is much of the home atmosphere about it. "Concerning the manual training received in the home, let me give a brief summary. During these ten years 1x3 boys and girls have completed the course of study, which embraces the common school studies, and one year of high-school work. Of these nine are farmers, two are florists, seventeen are printers, several of whom are foremen in printing offices, and one a compositor on the Indianapolis Journal; five are school teachers, five music teachers, twelve are soldiers, one is a successful physician, one Is a student in the Chicago School of Art. one Is a dress maker, two are tailors, three are railroad employes, eight are employed In stores, twelve In factories, one In the newspaper business, one stockralser, seventeen are in high school, of which several are students at the? Manual Training High School at Indlarapolis, one is a miner, one a carpenter, one a boiler maker, three are laborers, three are engineers, one printer is also a bandleader, one is foreman in a shoe store, two are plumbers, one a court reporter, one a bank cashier, two are trained nurses, one a collector, three are electricians, eleven arc stenographers, one a shipping clerk, one a milliner, three have died, twenty girls have married and are presiding over homes of their own, eighteen returned to friends er relatives, and seven are in families. Of this number 1S9 only four have gone wrong. "It will be borne in mind that the above refers only to those who have completed the school course. There are many others who entered the home too late to graduate from there, yet have completed the manual training course, and are now filling responsible positions. Of this class there are a number of farmers, bakers and florists; among the latter one Is foreman in Hill's greenhouse, Richmond. Ind. The list is too long to give here; this may be said, however, that they have made a good record, anel few Indeed, have reflected discredit upon the institution."

Hev. II. C. Meserve Heard. The Rev. II. C. Meserve, pastor of Plymouth Church, addressed the society and audience on "Institutional Care of Dependent Children" as follows: "Said a friend to me, after a speech in his church, 'I am so glad you didn't give us the history of our denomination. It is not my purpose to give a history of a work which 1 know, and can know at best, but Imperfectly. I am a specialist in one thing only, and I tind that it requires all my time and energy to keep pace with that one thing. Rut I do claim to have a large and. I hope, practical sympathy with the work represented here to-night, and it is my purpose to inspire you with something of the deep interest which nil must feel who come into close contact with this organization. "We are brought face to face at the outset with the paternalism of the State. This is not a new idea altogether, although its application is comparatively new. The king assumed to be the 'father of his people,' but under the monarchical systems the greatest poverty and degradation have existed. If the king concerned himself with the suffering of his people really, he quickly cleared his lebt by the gift of money or institution which, under the care of the church, should alleviate distress. So 'charity' was dispensed with often liberal, though unwise, hand, ami the real condition of the people not much. If any, bettered. We have como to a new and higher principle. The state to-elay dispenses, not charity, but equity. It is fulfilling not the law of sentiment, but of brotherhood. It is aiding the weak for the enrichment of its own lifo and to pay, if possible, the debt it owes every member of the community. "To Its State Roard of Charities and kindred organizations, therefore. It has committed the care of all children In need. If misfortune comes to any, then the State Is ready with its proferred; aid to bridge the chasm between Indigency and self-support, be It for a brief period or until maturity. If the parents are ta'ken and the child's natural guardians removed, then the State has Its orphans' home to provides so far as possible, that lack of parental care. If the parents or guardians are Incompetent or criminal the State has its Board of Children's Guardians, who provide for the dependent one. if the child is incorrigible or himself criminally inclined, then the State has its reform schools to eradicate, if possible, these faults. So It is. in theory at least, that there Is not a condition of the dependent life which the State is not competent to meet. "Now this, I say, is tho theory, and It is a good one. For, though there be practical difficulties In the way at times, and though there be objections that may arise and for which no general law can provide a remedy, yet the working of the system Is, on the whole, successful and the results satisfactory. HOME FOR STATE'S WARDS. "It is. of course, the Ideal of the State to provide a home for Its wards. Not an easy thing to do after all, for the Ideal contained In that word 'home' is difficult to attain even under the most favorable circumstances. Yet, so far as it can, the State is carrying out this idea. One of the most successful fitting schools of which I know Is organized upon this home plan. And that It is to a large oegree successful I have reason to know. Little companies of boys are grouped in different houses about the campus, under the care of a master and his wife. Here the home life Is set up and maintained and the master and his wife stand in something like the relation of father and mother to the boys under their charge. This plan has proved successful so far as It has been introduced into our own institutions, and, with proper buildings for the further development, would be a great aid in the right molding of the child life. "Indiana is. with cause, proud of many of its public buildings, but this pride need rot with cause extend to the buildings given over to the use of Its children. (When I speak of the state I am all along using a generic term and do not attempt to assign responsibility to city or county er society or indivldu.il.) Those In this city are for the most part old and hardly suited to the uses to which they are put. Perhaps an out-of-town location, with greater facilities In the way of playgrounds, buildings (cottages) ami good country air might be a great advantage, but here I am speaking from the point of view of a sympathizer rather than as an expert. One thing I may say with positiveness and as a taxpayer. That in work of this kind, it is not wise to count the cost at the expense of the children's best good. It is wiser, for instance, to fix up an old building at large expense (if a new one cannot be obtained) than to endanger the health and lives of the children by waiting till a possibly far-off decision in favor of a new building is reached. In fact, every dollar properly expended for the benefit of our dependent children is an investment of untold value to the coming generation. SCIENCE OF SOCIOLOGY. "Thanks to careful study, there is a science or something that approaches to it, of sociology, and especially in this department of which we are speaking. It has brought to the front men and women who are competent, by nature and training, for the work represented by these Institutions of which we are speaking; and. so far as I hive observed, that fitness does not follow political affiliations nor does a worthj' superintendent cease to be so with every change eif administration. And this recognition of worth which is now coming to be felt by all incr- having the good of the State at heart has added not a little to the tlticiency of our institutions. "A word about our hual Institutions. They are four In nurnht r. The Home of the Roard of Children's Guardians at Irvlngton, the Indianapolis Orphan Asylum, tho German Protestant Orphan Asylum and the Home for Friendless Colored Children. The Roard of Children's Guardians is the only Institution owned by the county. The

other three are in charge of associations. The revenues for the support of these institutions are from private subscriptions and an allowance per diem from the county. "We live and labor in the present, but in our hands nevertheless lien the molding of the future. Witb all the splendid work which the Institutions may do the future lies largely with the family. In a recent report the Board of State Charities wisely said: 'A family home is the most desirable place to rear a child and at the same time an Orphons' home is a suitable place for caring for and fitting children so that they may enter a family. The family is the ideal but the institution Is the way by which to reach it, and as it is likely to be a long road and a rough one before- we can safely abandon our institutional care of dependent children, It Is well for us if we bend every energy to the scientific, able, but sympathetic, discharge of our present work."

Amos "IV. Ilutler'a Adilrem. Amos W. Butler, In discussing "Our City's Outside Care of Neglected Children," said in part: "I desire to call your attention to the children who are in poor circumstances in this State and are not cared for in the State institutions. A man who is well known In philanthropic work said to me the other day that Indiana has made great strides In charitable work. Rut I want to call your particular attention to the sub ject of prevention of crime. That is the keynote. We must care for the paupers, epileptics, weak-minded, etc. The reformatory at Jeffersonville has taught us manythings. Of the inmates of that prison 15 per cent are unable to read or write, 50 per cent never went above the fourth grade in common schools, and but 5 per cent reached the high schools. There is but a small per cent, that ever enjoyed parental help. We get about twice as many Inmates from larger cities as from rural districts. "One of the most beneficent influences that has been recently brought about is the curfew law. When it was first enforced there was a decrease of SO per cent, in arrests of children at the Indianapolis police station. The new chief of police says he will enforce the law more strictly hereafter. Ths next measure for prevention of crime is the compulsory education law. In this city and county there are six truant officers, five of whom are employed in the city. -They brought to the public schools last year 2.30o children at a total cost, including salaries, of $2.&00. We have no means of telling how many others were induced to go to school because of the compulsory law. That is a great step in the prevention of crime, as children are kept in school and not allowed to roam the streets. "The child labor law Is another great preventive measure, and the labor commissioners have done good work in its enforcement. Children are kept out of factories and compelled to go to school. The child-saving law is another measure that helps in tho prevention of crime. The State assumes charge of all children who are public charges and children" who have been placed in homes' or under the care of the State. If they are not well treated another home is found for them. "Police Judge Stubbs has done a great thing by holding a children's court. He has inaugurated a plan of trying children separately and away from the influence of older men. The other day there was discharged from the county workhouse a boy twelve years old. He was heard to say on the streets, while puffing a cigarette and talking with other boys on the corner, 'I want to tell you that I am tough; I have been in the workhouse.' Through the agency of the juvenile court we will stop much of that. Children will be tried without publicity, and when possible they will be placed under the care of some one who will be interested in aiding them. If it is Impossible to elo anything for them and keep them away from crime they will then be sent to the Reform School. We hope by the time the next Legislature meets to know what we want in the way of laws for the protection of children, and will have them enacted. There is no cost too great that we would not give to save our children." Governor Durbin showed his sympathy for children, and when Mr. Butler had concluded he said: "If you could spend a day or two In my ofilce and hear and read the plans of mothers for their children you would understand that child-saving is not a thing for a few people, but for the masses. There is now confined in the State Reformatory a boy thirteen years old who was sentenced for life imprisonment for murdering another boy. Probably if the Influences thrown around him had been such as to keep him out of crime he would now be a free boy." THE CLOSING ADDRESS. The closing address was delivered by the Rev. II. W. Kellogg, pastor of Centralavenue Methodist Church, on "The State's Outdoor Caie of Dependent and Neglected Children." He said in part: "My sympathy is with organized charity, scientific charity. I am in sympathy in giving charity to children. There is no question of economics In this movement. We know that Christianity is hand in hand with charity. If we were living hunelreds of years In the past we would let children take their course, but now we are living in a elifferent age and we will care for the children. The little child we see playing In the street may develop into a man who may write great wisdom or philosophy, or become a poet. You had better take off your hat to every boy, no matter how ragged, for some time he may be greater than you. It is the depenelent child that appeals to us to-night. There is no place fit for a boy except the country. He needs the whole country for his activity. When I see a little fellow shut up in a city lot it reminds me of an eagle caged. Let the boys out in the country where they can breathe the fresh air and roam over the fields. "If we could take boys out of institutions and place them in good homes in the country it would be the best thing for economy and the future of the child. Many old couples living on farms would be only too glad to welcome into their homes a bright boy to comfort them and help them in their older age. Rut boys should not be taken away from their homes unless it is absolutely necessary. It Would be much better to help the parents than to separate the family. No home ought to be dissolved for lack of means, for there is no love like a mother's love. Retter have a mother if she is a poor mother than no mother at all. When we reach the golden age the home will be kept intact and there will be no separation of children. I would like to see homes In the country open to dependent children, for they would be made happy." The audience sang "America" and the benediction was pronounced by the Rev. M. L. Haines. Talk liy Rev. M. L. Hnine. The First Presbyterian Church choir furnished a musical number, after which the Rev. M. L. Haines, pastor of that church. made a few remarks along the line of practical charitable work In Indianapolis. He said in part: I have been reminded, as many of us have, how much we need wisdom in our charitable work. Modern charity is wise charity. There was a gTeat deal of charity in the middle ages that did harm and some of late years that has done harm, but in later years the charitable organizations nave elone good work. Indianapolis people may know when they give their means to the local organization that It will be used for the best results. The organization is composed of the best men of the city. They are business men and men of brains. To name the men at the head of the Indianapolis organization Is enough guarantee that the charitable work in this city under their Jurisdiction will be carried on in the best possible way. The Tact that we have not received tlemands for great aid In this city is because we do not bretHl pauperism and there Is a system in carrying on this work. These men and their assistants 1 are always at the work. j "When a man comes to your back door about 7 o'clock in the evening and says he ; cannot get aid from the charity organlza- : tlon he lies er he Is a dead beat and known about the Friendly Inn as a man who will not work. The Indianapolis organization is one of the glorle3 of the city, but it needs your help, and we are here to-night to lend a. hand for its good." CARE OF STATE'S WARDS. Rev. C. C. RowllMon on Chnrlty Organization Work at His Church. Tho Rev. C. C. Rowlison. pastor of the Third Christian Church, last night delivered a short sermon on the work of the Charity Organization Society. In his remarks the Rev. Mr. Rowlison said that many of his parishioners thought It better to have their meeting in their own church rather than go down town to the larger meeting. The pastor said In part: "The spirit of modern charity which is being practiced by the Charity Organization is more like that charity prescribed by Christ for us to follow than anything that we have ever before witnessed. It much resembles the work of the Master himself. Christ when on earth practiced charity during HU entire life. He minis

tered to the poor, the hungry, the thirsty, the lame, the deaf and to all who were in need. "Charity Is not a virtue. The poor we have always with us, and it is no virtue for us to help a poor, deserving person. Charity is doing the will of God. Pauperism is no necessary evil. Pauperism and poverty are the results of social conditions.

When you meet a tramp on the wayside j and give him money or other assistance' I you do him ill. You are only helping that : man to keep on his downward path. Christ when He, met a mendicant always upbraided the man for begging and told him to desist. We should do the same. Th? sole object of the Charity Organization is the upbuilding of humanity. A o have come to the conclusion that those who choose to lead a pauper life are not to be helped in any way. "The greatest motive of modern charity is to abolish and eliminate pauperism. If we could starve out the tram; It would be better for humanity. It is no nonor to keep a man's lazy blood Inactive. It is marvelous to note what is being done by the Charity Organization for the care of Chll dren. As a result of the laws in this State orphanages have been established which are little by-stations along the lives of many of our young. They are the stations in life which lead the little one to a better home and keep him from the prison cell. The work in this respect In this State Is of a gigantic nature and is little understood by the many thousands of people living here. Ry the organization of our State Charity Roard every child in this State is practically under control of the State until it is old enough to look after itself. Connecteel with the state institution are four men who go about the State looking after children who have been taken from orphanages and placed in good. Christian homes. These men keep a continual watch over all their charges until they are about sixteen years old. Some people say that such a care must surely cause a great outlay of money and be burdensome to the taxpayers, it is in a way expensive, but then it is cheap when other statistics are examined which show that the money used in this way also brings a dividend. It cost last year $G4o to take chilelren out of the rphanages and place them in good homes, the children were allowed to remain in the orphanages for the entire year it would have cost the State fOO.oou to care for them. So you will see that it was a great saving in the end. "It would be better that this work of the Charity Organization were understood more fully. People would then realize the gravity of the social condition which confronts us. The little bands which now have the work in charge would be probably augmented by others, and owing to their united efforts fewer criminals would be incarcerated and there would be fewer imbeciles in the home in Fort Wayne. "The latter phase of Indiana's pauper charges is almost beyond the belief of one outside the institution. Superintendent Johnson is doing a great work in this institution in teaching these feeble-minded boys and girls to learn farming. The work done by the chilelren last year enabled the State to save many thousands of dollars In the care of the home. When a man like Mr. Johnson takes Sou children who are without will power of their own and teaches them to do work of this kind which enables them to suport themselves he is surely doing the Master's bidding. "Another charity which is becoming prominent is the care of the criminal indigent. A man Is put in prison nowadays to teach him higher motives of life. A few years ago when a man was arrested and sentenced to prison it was to keep him away from society. A great majority of those in prison are there because their home surroundings were such as to corrupt the mind. The home could work great good in looking after the young and teaching the little ones higher ideals of life and teaching them to quickly see the wrongs of this life." Tlin COT KT RKCOItl).
