The gospel of work Is the salvation of the world, for It Is nut only true that astan finds work for Idla hands to do, but thfl majority of peo ple who go wrong are crooks because thpy donyt know any (freight way of mak ing a living. Jlr. Ford believes, and rightly, that the best wsy to reform m rHmli.al lu K .. nil- Ing him fairly paid nLX w o r k t a d o. He might well have gone a step farther an J have said that the way to prevent people f rm-n Incoming ' criminals Is to teach them, while thy are still chiluren, some ttade by which they can cam enough money to live on honestly. f It Is a pathetic and a terrible thing that most of our criminals are so you us. I5n Into any court and you will sec that the thieves, the pickpockets, the gangsters. I lie r'nmen who commit murder for hire are Ji.st buys. 1.00 k at tho painted faced women on the street any you see that tli'-y arc young girls, hardly more.'than children. i . Of course, there are some unfortunates tvho are born physically and morally de formed, and who would be criminals .un der ,;iny circumstances, but the great ' frajorlty of those who become criminals , a it more weak than vicious. They are simply those without much Intelligence, to itliout any initiative of their own, who fu'lr.v the line of least resistance, and fu n any direction In which they are rushed. . Keys and girls of this type do not do we'd at schtol. They have not what KoTcly people call ,liook sense," and they foU. behind in. their studio The teachers " scold them and their ftflow ruplls ridicule them, and they become 'truant, and drop out of school altogether i t lie first possible moment. Theso bovs unci girls' have not been ln.;ehl one clngle. solitary thing by which they can earn a decent living. They have to tike the lowest paid kinds of labor. They cannot earn enough to live on In any sort of decent comfort, and so Hie boy Is drawn inevitably Into tho criminal ;gang, and the slrl take to thi Ktreeta; s- .- -. U t.?.-j , 1 r.

In the" first place their ?rido and self-resect , would have been saved even in school, for very often peo ple who have little Intellectuality hav a strong mechanical sense. The boy wh can never learn the name of all the presidents may be able to do things with his hanU that will redeem his scholar ship in the sight of hia fellows, and thus keep him Interested and eager to go to school. Instead of making him a truant. Nor should we forget this most Impor tant fact that the habits that we form tn childhood are practically unbreakable. They follow us as long as we live, and It is a safe assertion that no child who has the habit of Industry, of doing soma sort of particular work accurately and efficiently, ingrained In him or her." will ever develop. Into an idler and a loafer. It Is perfectly poaslble tol teaith every girl and boy a good trade, to turn them Into expert workers capable of earning a living wage by the , time 'they are old enough to take out their working papers. If we did this we should remove tempta tion to a Jarge extent from their path way. We would havs formed the habit of Industry In them, we would hav taught them the Joy there is rn doing good work. In being efficient, and that is about, the tst thing, that any human being can know. .... The real reason that most people hate to work la because they are bunglers at their Jobs, and they are ashamed of the results they turn out. They have never been taught scientific management or how to do their work' artistically. Women hate to cook, because they don't know the first principles of cookery and the results of their labor are adamantine bread, and watery vegetables and leathery moat that would kill, an ostrich. But find a woman who Is an expert cook and whose pies and cakea and sauce are celebrated among alt who know her, and you'll find a woman who delights In cooking. ' The jackleg carpenter, whoae work is clumsy and Ill-done, hates his job and "Jays off" as often as possible, but the jexpe carpenter, the real merhanlc, wnoso wprk is a Joy to behold, thinks carpentering the finest occupation on earth and wondera everybody doesn't fol low !t. 1 - For, good work of whatever kind, la artistry, and it commands recognition and pay and it fills the on who does It with the sacred "Joy of 'achievement " Thoi Manhattan trade , school lit New York has ahown that girls who are taught I a definite trada can command from the very outset a living wage so that they need to be under no temptation to eke out the pitiful pay of unskilled labor by wrongdoing.
