Teach All Children
Trade with Alphabet
By DOROTHY DIX.
1
Mr. Ilenty Ford' assertion that he
could make every criminal In Sing Bin;
Into a decent cltlsen by turning- him into
a ftrst-clasa mpchsnic. canshl nf Mrnlnv
good pay, Is the most
sensible reform pro
rsgsnda that has
ver been pvit forth.
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 ,

v hli tT-they -.would have become suf
ficiently Xpert to comihand a living
tv age, , believe. that Sn.per cent of them
could hay been saved from ever beeom
Ing cripiVmls. . . 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. " . '
Surely our educators should not be
blind to the lesson this teaches. Surely it
la time for thera to, abandon some of
the" theories and the fads of the- "hlgtfier't
ciJucaOiuuand 6f-ma'4bWn to tae- seal nec

make a living and then afterward such
culture aa the Individual can assimilate.
The way to stop ' criminality ' la with
work, and the place, to begin Is In the

FIFTEENTH EPISODE.
, "At last, Mr Love!"
CHAPTER H.-(Continucd )
Ned Warner had been) fitting on the
ccixe of a table. Now be sprang to .hi
feet, and his eyes flamed. He caught his
wife by the wrist and . pulled her away
Irom her mother.,
"llere'a one thing you can't explain V
He dropped hsr wrist, - and she stood
swaying with half closed eyes, but there
uss no mercy in him. "I saw you rush
from a house In a filmy stage costume!"
Thera was a strained tensity in the
gruup . whi h surrounded them. John
.Moore started to come to his daughter,
but Ned fiercely waved "him back. .'"U
.is moving picture work. Very 'well.
Hut tell me thl : How could any girl who
ould not endure the humiliation of ac
.epiing money from her husband consent
to appear on the street for any purpose
in such a costume?""
"Ned:" she cried. "Oh. Ned!" And she
Mung upon. his. arm. He held coldly rieid.
Forgive me! . You can't know how I've
suffered! You caa't know . how I've
I .atheU it all! I was so mistaken, so
wrong! I thought I had such a wonderful
Ideal. When 1 had achieved my independ
ence, when I need no longer look to you for
money, I scae to return to you. and we
were to walk hand in hand through life
In that love which ran be founded only
upon mutual respect, which ask love for
love and nothing mora. I meant our love
4o be without a flaw. No man can un
derstand the hurt to a woman when after
marriage sh becomes absolutely de
Indent on hi charity."
"Why. Jun!" The small, mild voice of
ilrs. Moore, and she stepped forward
wth deep com trn on her gentle fare.
"What is sll this talk about a husband's
charity?" And she turned with wonder
to Father Moore. "A husband makes
only ore gift to his wife, snd thst is hi
tha altar. After that evtrythit'g h" hat
is hers, if people will only remember the
marriage set Vic. Your ring 1 a lymbot
of It. 'With all my worldly good I the
endow!' "
Gilbert Blye clutched tils black Vandyke
and looked at the ceiling; then he Bmtled
suavely. , . !
"That a great Idea! Ml work It Into
the i feature!" But no' one heard him.
There wa an audible sniffs from I Ha
Blethering, and Tommy Thomas wa
looking intensely sentimental.
"Apd you, my on!" She turned with
surprising everity os Ned Warner.
"Have you forgotten that you promised
to loVe, cherish and protest my daugh
ter?" There was cry from tos little -runaway
bride aiyi a sob from Neb Warner
as. oblivious to all around them,they
claxpfd each, other la solemn embrace.
From that loving olasp the lieaiitlful
wife of Ned Warner- raised a radiantly
happy countenance to her mother.
. "And-1 have no problem." sr-.e laughed,
and then ahe cried. And Irl Blethering
and Tommy Thomas obbed together and
formed a lasting friendship. And -everybody
was happy. Including Marie and
Officer Dowd.. -who hag become nervous
at the mention of the 'marriage service,
and Aunt Debby,! who wa praising her
Redeemer in an unctuously audible voice,
and Bouncer, who was Jesplng and bark
ing Indiscriminately for the benefit of
everybody and anybody.
"Where are they? Where are they?"
srrecehed a rhrlll voiced and Houorla
Blye tvurstjlnte the group.
Gilhert Blye walked, acrenely over to
me t her. '
"You- may go home to your parrot,'
Honoria." he advised her quite happily.
Then there came a cold sombemeas in his
black eye, 'ifou- can't Interfere with
my huplncps this time, aa you have done
ever since we were married, and yot can
liO longer assume a dominance over me
with your money." Suddenly the ilow
returned to hi black eyes, and he looked
to June and smiled his usve smile. "I
have worked out' my Independence."

The Doc the JUaaaer.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 18 year old
and have been in love with a man of Zl
for twp years. He seems fond of me, but
is careless about keeping engagement
with me. He ha a good position and is
able to marry, but does not say a word
about getting married. He know I have
to work hard, but he takes my evenings
three days out of the week and doesn t
want me to -eee ether young men. the
other four evenings.,. ROSE.
I doubt that you are -really in love
with this young man. You seem to re
gard him as a possible "good provider"
and to look on marriage as an escape
from uncongerlal hard work.
Under the circumstance I think it
would be a well for you to see other
young men on your disengaged evenings.
In this way both you and your hesitating
lover may come, t,o know your mind.

not see why he 1 unwilling for you to
have other friends.
He seems to be like the dog In
Aesop' fable in that he neither wanted
you nor want another to have you.
Dos't Let Boys Kiss Yon.
Dear Miss Fairfax, A short time sgo
I met a young man, and after going out
with him a few times he wanted to kiss
me. 1 refused to allow him to do It. for
which he got angry. 1 have not heard
from him since. I love lilm desily aim
hate to lose him. Old I do wrong .' e'hould
I write to him? I am sure he cares for
me. . , IIKL.KN.
You did just the right thing. Helen
If this boy caYes for you In the right
way he will surely like you all the U!t' r
for being too dignified to permit your
self to be kissed. If ho I one of those
