A THOUGHT
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown
it; if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it
would utterly be contemued.—-Solomon 8:7.
The objects that we have known in better days are the main
props that sustain the Weight of our affections and give us strength
‘0 await our future lot.—\\'illiam Hazlitt.

Doors And Space t
The high cost of building is reducing most house plans to the
lowest possible terms. “'11ch the things cut 05 are frills, the en-
suing simplicity is good. But where they are the means of securing
privacy their loss is apt to cost more in the long run than their
installation.
The Englishwoman who complained that the American home
has too few doors was right. \thrc there is but one living room
for all the family activities. there is bound to be restlessness and a
loosening of the bond. \thn father has been meeting people and
hearing noises for seven or eight hours, his evening is not enhanced
by the presence of a noisy high school bunch. talking athletics or
singing or rolling back the rugs to dance. Nor is it fair to the high
school bunch to drive them outside for their amusements. \K’licn
mother's night for the committee meeting coincides with that for
daughter's young man 's call, the two afiairs do not exactly fit. And
what becomes of father and the boys? Bedrooms are too small for
anything but sleep. There is no attic and very little cellar.
Too much is sacrificed to finish in the average house.
worth it? Isn't a housc with ' painted woodwork,
draperies and modest rugs, but. with a kitchen big enough for the
bunch to make candy in, a library ,where father may smoke and
read and the boys get their lessons, with a game room either in
attic or basement, with storage space for apples and nuts and maple
sugar so that candy can be made when the spirit moves—isn’t that
type of house possible any more? And cannot each person have a
bedroom for himself, with a desk and a handful of books in it!
Is it
If a generation of power is to be. reared, it must have a chance
at solitude occasionally. An hour in a quiet room with it shut door
will cure almost any case of “nerves."

Equal Chance For Children
One of the most comprehensive studies of school children ever
undertaken in the l'nitcd States to determine the relations between
physical improvement and mental progress is now under way.
Thirty-five hundred pupils in widely different districts of the
city chosen are in the experimental squads. The first step is a minute
physical and mental examination to determine as fully as possible
their present status of bodily and mental development. These
cxaminations are. to be followed by health campaigns of various
kinds especially designed for the elimination of the physical defects.
The progrcss of the child in his studies will be carefully tabulated
for comparison with the health chart.
Among other points it is hoped to determine at what age children
attain their full physical growth, the effect of physical condition
on intelligence and, if a child’s weight can be increased by diet,
what, can he done to increase his stature, if he is stunted. The cfi'ort
to find the answer to this last problem is one of'thc most spectacular
features of the undertaking.
Out of the mass of evidence obtained it is hoped to reach better
general standards for the health and education of all children. It is
hoped also that better standards for the framing of child labor
legislation will result.
Every such move is good, but this- onc particularly so because
of its scope. It is only by continuous experiment that a sufiicientlv
flexible code for giving every child an equal chance with his coni-
paniom can be devised.

[Hail Early
It has been only three months since Christmas, yet the Post-
ofiice Department is urging its patrons to “mail early." This;
time, however, the slogan has nothing to do with holiday packages. «
It refers to the ordinary mail—business and personal—and the
"early” means merely early every day.”
Business concerns have a habit of dumping all their mail into!
the postofficc at the end of the day. This demands rush sorting
under high tension instead of more evenly distributed work. It
permits mistakes and delays and expenses which could be eliminated
under a saner system. -
‘6
Personal mail usually goes out in small quantities and its
delivery is rarely a rush matter. But there is a good deal of business ~
mail which needs prompt handling. The postofiice authorities say
they could care for it more economically and expeditiously if it
were turned over to them as it is prepared. From the business
man‘s standpoint it looks rather foolish to send some one out of
the office to mail a letter every few minutes. That isn’t necessary.
There could be, however, mailing two or three times a day, as fast
as a reasonable amount of finished letters has collected.
The public needs to think ever every suggestion of the postal
authorities and to do its part to carrying them out. With all its.
faults, the Postofflcc Department accomplishes a good' deal and is
eficient to a greater degree than it iesometimes given credit for.
It could be more so, if citizens treated its services with as much
respect as those of private business concerns.
