"Spare the Clerk and Save Your Temper1" There remain but eight more shopping days until Christmas ; eight short, sharp days of preparation for the grown folks; eight long, but exciting days for the kiddies; and eight kind of days for the storekepei and the clerks? what kind of days for the storekeeper and the clerks ? How will you fill in the blank, Mrs. Shopper? Will you wait until only two or three days are left and then pile into the stores and make the brief interval between then and the merry season a reign of terror for the servants of the public? Getting our shopping done before the last day or two is not only a convenience to those who wait on us, it is a moral duty which we owe quite as much to ourselves as to them. If a gift is to be a real gift and not a mere present offered as one offers alms to a beggar, it will have individuality, it will be carefully selected to please the taste of the recipient, and not chosen or prepared in a swift mechanical way that keeps the spirit out of it. But how are gifts to express ouselves and carry the message we would have them carry if we are to wait until it is necessary to plunge into a seething mass of femininity surging about a store counter when one must make what grab he can and be content with the culls left after more judicious shoppers have had their choosing? We owe it to the storekeeper, also, to avoid the final crowding. He has ben months in preparation for this season, has studied the whims and idiosyncrasies of his trade with an eye to please them, has worked to surround his good with the atmosphere of cheer and the Christmassy spirit that makes the season's shopping a delight. Is it fair to compel him to heap his carefully selected goods pell mell on his counters with tired clerks to show them and exasperated women digging and pulling and twisting at them until they are hardly fit to show? But above all, we owe it to the employes of the stores to save them the nerve rack which has so completely changed their attitude toward the hallowed season. More than once we have heard a saleslady say, "What a relief it will be when Christmas is over! I have come to dread it as a plague !" Not a one of us has a right to rob these good souls of their own holiday. But when we wait until the last moment and then storm their counters like a swarm of Mexican rebels, that is just what we are doing; we are taking the cheer of the day away from them as effectually as if we had them locked in jail the while. A day behind the counter with one's stock, always so carefully tended, thrown in promiscuous and frowsy heaps pbout on the display tables, with a score of maddening women demanding the carefullest attention, with the everlasting noise and clatter of the store buzzing about one like a mammoth hive of angry bees, and with one's limbs and feet and head aching as if the last day had come, such a day would cure any person of the vice of shopping late for Christmas.

"American and Immigrant Blood." Edward ALsworth Ross, professor of sociology in the University of Wisconsin, contributes to the Century for December an article under the above caption. It is described by the editors as "one of the gravest and most important considerations ever laid before the American people," and by the Survey, than which no magazine is better informed on the question, as, "Perhaps the most sweeping indictment yet published of our national policies toward immigration from eastern and southern Europe." That it is indeed sweeping will be discovered from the following resume : Southeastern Europeans are very illiterate and easilj' become the ignorant tools of corruption. The lands of ignorance discharge into our midst millions who can not read or write or count to twenty. "The foreign-born betwen twenty and thirty-four years of age, late comers of course, show five times the illiteracy of native whites of the same age." The vast hordes of these ignoramuses festering in our great centers account for the saffron hue of many of our metropolitan newspapers whose claptrap and sensational methods are designed to meet a sub-American mind. Owing to their ignarance of the language, laws and customes of the country they easily fall a victim to the machinations of labor exploiters, and so have given rise to peonage which has been discovered in every state save Connecticut and Oklahoma, having developed into its most aggravated form in Maine. Such inflammatory and un-American labor organizations as the Industrial Workers of the World are largely composed and managed by these aliens. The Federation of Labor, largely representing native workers, is at constant war with the anarchistic organizations. The millions of debased aliens drag down the status of women. The "peasant philosophy of

sex" accounts for many of those shocking conditions in foreign quarters, which are the despair of intelligent citizens. The Independent Magazine recently said: "The wave of recent immigration has brought with it the Oriental conception of woman's status. . . . We must not shut our eyes to the fact that in the future the Christian conception of womanhood is not to be maintained in this country without a struggle." There are 2,000,000 more alien men than women now with us; this leads to vice unspeakable, hinted at in these words : "The testimony of foreign consuls and leaders among the foreign born leaves no doubt that in some instances the woman cook of the immigrant boarding house is common to inmates." The Slav is a transient and comes here with the intention of a short stay, therefore, he is willing to live in noisome quarters comparable only to the slums of Canton. After enduring such "homes" for the sake of cheapness, he will return to his native village with the small hoarding of his American wages. He goes, but he leaves his housing conditions behind. It is largely these unassimilable aliens, asserts Prof. Ross, that give us "the problem of the city. The later alien influx has rushed us into the thick of urban problems, and these are gravest where Americans are fewest. Congestion, misliving, segregation, corruption and confusion," he says, "are the problems now so formidable in New York, Chicago, Pittsburg and similar towns, and these are due to a great extent to the presence of the un-Americanizable southeastern European." Pauperism bred in these foreign quarters is a cancer in otherwise flourishing communities that draws from native strength. As says a charity superintendent in Polish quarters: "AH of us are aghast at the weak fiber of the second generation. Every year I see the morass of helpless poverty getting bigger. The evil harvest of past mistakes is ripening, but it will take twenty years before we will see the worst of it. If immigration were cut off short today, the burden from past neglect and exploitation would go on increasing for years." Of 2,600 delinquent children brought before the juvenile courts of Chicago in one year, 2,340 of them were from foreign-born parents. These parents know so little of America and its language their children are able constantly to deceive them. Thus, when restraints of the old home are swept away and while the morality of the new is not acquired, the immigrant child becomes a moral bedouin living on the debateable ground between the conventions of Europe and the righteousness of America. Owing to the conditions in which they live and the strain under which they labor, many of these aliens become insane. There were two and one-half times as many foreign-born insane in New York state in 1911 as native born. On this Prof. Ross makes a rather suggestive comment : "In view of the fact that every year New York cares for 15,000 foreign-born insane at a cost of $3,500,000, and that the state's sad harvest of demented immigrants during the single year 1911 will cost about $8,000,000 before they die or are discharged, there is some offset to be made to the profits drawn from the immigrants by the transporting companies, landlords, real estate men, employes, contractors, brewers and liquor dealers of the state." The public school was the melting pot in which foreign elements were rendered out of northEuropean immigrants, but these southeasterners won't go to the public schools. They herd in parochial institutions under a foreign priest-teacher, and thus escape their one chance of becoming Americanized. "The foreign speech school, while it binds the young to their parents, to their people, and to the old country, cuts them off from America." Prof. Ross closes by remarking that "those optimists who imagine that assimilation of the immigrants is proceeding unhindered are living in a fool's paradise," a remark that will be echoed by the majority of those who read this amazing indictment of our immigration policy, or, had we not rather say, lack of policy !

Library is an Undeveloped Mine For the Larger Part of Citizens

Good Books By Best Writers Upon Every Subject Are to Be Found in Richmond's Public Institution.

By H. L. HAYWOOD. (Editor's Note Thp first half of this book list was published In Saturday s edition.) The library is an undeveloped mine for the larger part of Richmond citizens. Those who care to get an inside view of this grrat public institution will find much to Interest and instruct in Boetwlek's well known "American Public Library" and in John Dana's "A Literary Primer." These should be of especial value to club women. Now that cluster lighting has come to the fore. Louis Eell's excellent treatise on "The Art of Illumination" will throw considerable light on the subject for Richmond eouncilmen. If any have concluded with the Indiajiapolis News that municipal markets are the thing to give us partial relief from the pressure of the high cost of living let him go into the subject by reading Black's "A Terminal Market System" and Miller's "Municipal Market Policy." The problems of municipal ownerlibraryship are many and perplexing. The library has lifted five up-to-date volumes dealing with this viral topic. Here they are: "The British iCty" by Frederick Howe; "The iCty, the Hope of Democracy," also by Howe; "Principles and Methods of Municipal Trading" by Knoop; "The Dangers of Municipal Trading," by Porter; and 'Municipal and National Trading," by Avebury. Those who go in for parks and parking will discover much of interest in "Publication Facilities," put out by the American Academy of Political and Social Science, while those caring to preserve the appearance of the cemetery may find guidance from "Weed's "Modern Park Cemeteries." To the chief of police "The Enforcement of Law in Cities," by Brand Whltlock, one of America's most progressive executives, ia respectfully recommended. Citizens who puzle over the tangles of public utilities and their management should read Clyde King's thorugh work, "The Regulation of Municipal Utilities," one of the newest and best; "The Control of Municipal Public Service Utilities," by the American Academy; and Delos Wilcox's well known masterpiece "Municipal Franchises." For parents, teachers and all others concerned with furnishing the right kind of play facilities there are Ave very readable and suggestive books: 'The Spirit of Youth and the City Streets," by Jane Addams; "Public Recreation Facilities," by the American Academy; "Folk Dances and Singing Games," by Eliz Burchenal; "Education by Plays and Games," by George Johnson, a volume concluding with a very complete bibliography on the subject, and "Story Telling," by Edna Lyman. On street and road building and maintenance there is nothing better than Harwood Frost's "The Art of Roadmaking." To those who had never thought of road building as an art this will come as a surprise and revelation. On schools and school methods there are two books in the new list:

Elsa Denlson's encyclopedic "Helping School Children." than which nothing

could be completer for ita purpose

and "The Problem of Vocational Guidance," by David" Sneddon, a recognised authority. Miss Wilson's advocacy of usins schools as social centers brought a subject into popular notice which has long been discussed and which is very thoroughly treated in Perry's "Wider Use of the School Plant," a volume accurately named. Now that Richmond is to have a bureau of municipal research, many will grow more interested in the general problems of social investigation and study; for them there are arranged a choice list unusually complete: "A New Conscience and An Ancient Evil," by Jane Adams: "Twenty Years at Hull House." also, of course, by Miss Addams; "The Promised Land," by Mary Antin, that extraordinary immigrant girl: "The Almshouse." by Alexander Johnson; "Social A1 hutment," by Scott N'earing, a student who has had experience in "adjusting." Three good books on shade trees may be had: "The Pruning Book." by L. H. Bailey, a famous agriculturist: "The Care of Trees." by Fernlow. and "Shade Trees in Towns and iCties," by Solotaroff. On sewerage, there is Folwell's "Sewerage" and on city water supply Allen Hazen's "Clean Water, and How to Get It"; and Turneaure's "Water Supply." Tuberculosis is dealt with in three bocks that should be in the hands of every citizen: Fluck's "Crusade Against Tuberculosis." Francine's "Pulmonary Tuberculosis" and Huber's "Consumption." All students of civic affairs will have no reason to complain of a public library that offers so complete a list as this.
