Sine there are forty-eight attractions Jong Ita length of one and a half mllea, some taking twotty mlnutea to see, others close on to an hour. It were better not to try to sandwich In the lighter side of the exposition during odd moments. To see the leading shows alone requires a day. Ton can easily ascertain what are the lead ers by watching where the crowds go In and come out Take the word of one who found out through experience and much suffering, and specialize. Say to yourself after this fashion: "This Is tho biggest exposition ever. It spreads clear to the end of nowhere, and I've Just two weeks In whkto see It The first dsy I've spent In getting the lay of the land, and there will be two Sun-', days during my stay, when the exposition Is olosed. Add one day consumed In reach ing and returning from the fair, and X have eight days of sightseeing left "Now, I surely wsnt to see the Pike one day. Then there are the Filipinos, that everybody Is talking about, and their ex hibits covering forty acres another day, Tha third day for the ethnological exhibit' probably my only chance to see living types of nearly all the strange peoples I've read about since my boyhood days. The fourth, to find out what Uncle Sam la up and doing; the fifth, to get acquainted with my Stat building, and In a general way to make sure that the others sisters of the statehood have not done any better by the exposition; snd the. sixth, for the buildings ef the foreign countries In which I sra particularly Interested, say Japan, France and Germany, since I can't hope to do all twenty-five. "Two days left, with the outalde ex hibits, the minor affairs, such as the Model City, the United States Life Saving ex hibit, the poultry farm, and the exhibits In the thirteen main buildings still to be seen. "Well. Z can't afford to miss the fine aria . exhibit." (Or It may be that of mines and metallurgy or machinery.) "One day left and It la hopeless to cover In that Urn even a fraction of what has not been glanced at even cursorily. So I will spend th last dsy as I did tha Ant I will revel In th two great distinguishing features of the fair, and carry away with ms th memories of ths magical architectural dream by day and the wondrously glowing electrical vision by night" Do th exposition In some such manner as this and you will return from It In a happy frame of mind. Try to do It In any other way, and you will be as dejected and disgruntled long before the time set for your departure as was th man from Idaho. OUT T. YISKNISKKI, (Continued from Page Five.) he be rich or poor.' All the departments ef the municipal governments are more or less concerned over his welfare. Schools, parks, playgrounds, ecological gardens, sea trips, health Inspection, hospitals, asylums, convalescent homes, country farms, baths, bands in the parks, trained nurses for the tenements these are only a few of the things maintained for the child's benefit, and $3,000,000,000 would be a conservative estimate of the total amount spent upon them annually by the largest American cities. . ... v It Is sometimes charged that the city Is doing altogether too much for the "kid;" that, In fact, It is becoming his father and mother and Aunt Jane, at the expense ef sometimes breaking down parental author ity and family life. But everywhere there Is a growing reluctance on the part "of the city and . the state to assume the parents' responsibility lay boarding but children In orphan asylums, reformatories. Industrial schools and protectories. Within the last few years the evils which almost Inevitably attend th herding of children in large institutions have been widely recognised. Then years ago every body cried out for immense asylums and Industrial schools the larger the better; nowadays the policy of most of the cities Is never to send the child to such a place If It can be avoided, however well managed the Institution may be. The charity or ganisation , societies and the .Protestant Catholic and Hebrew charitable societies Join together in committees with the publio authorities to Investigate all applications to send a child to an institution, and the child Is not sent unless It appears that he would suHtain very serious harm by staying at home. "We believe nowadays," saH a prominent charity organisation official, "that a child seldom comes to any real good even In the best-managed Institution. If he turns out well, from the institutional point of view, ho Is namby-pamby; if he turns out badly, be Is Incredibly depraved, for he has had many teachers In vice. We believe In keeping the child at home, If possible, even If we have to pay more to support him there than he would cost In an institution. Foundlings, abandoned children and other motherless babies who have become city charges are usually boarded out nowadays In suburban families or on country farms, unless permanent homes by adoption can be secured for them. They are seldom sent to orphan asylums, If anything els can be dona "The trouble we are faced with In cities with a large Immigrant population, like Kew York and Chicago, la the keen desire X parents to have their children sent away BENSON srTHORNE'S ohahAsNeb: ISIS Doug-las Street.

The Italian Immigrants are especially eager to shift the burden ef looking after their children on to the state. "The Italian mother usually has no idea of how to manage her children; Indeed, she herself Is a child at heart, and often a child in years, too. She plays with her youngsters, quarrels with them, and loves them. Just as another child would. When she finds that they become unruly in the free, strenuous Ufa of an American slum, she thinks that the best she can do for them Is to send them to a Catholic pro tectory, although, as a matter of fact, they only need a little training.
