Child Welfare Work
(By Mrs. F. C. Schllke)
The Observer has asked for
copy of speech mad. at the Ad club
luncheon, and since it Is not possi
ble to reproduce an impromptu
speech without remodeling it to such
an extent as to make it unrecog
nizaule , and besl'len to. cover all
points alluded to at that lime wouW
require more space than allowed, 1
would like tu mention a few points
concerning tin ringing of the curfev
and the enforcement thereof.
It is to he reg'e'ted that ever
since Adam ate the apple In the Gar
den of Eden and phued the blame
for his transgression on Kve. we
have been prone to lay the responsi
bility of our own negligence on tli
shoulders of some oi.e else, and us

state that when no aliening parents'.

In all lines of Child Welfare Work,
we rind this Cass ! parents shirk
ing parental responsibility, We ilc
not boar of p rents taking any blamn
for tho falluie of their children to
'pass a ' sat isfaetocy examination in
school. I bold, that a normal
eliild placed in the grade to which
lie belongs, it is n:ver the fault of
the child. It may bo the fault of tin
teacher and Ii might possibly he the.
fault of tho parent who does not re
quire the child to have tho p-ofe-amount
of sic u) i"ul eat the mer'sh
lug food . so e.wenitai to his mental
and physical well being.
It is not uncommon to henr. ou
reporting the tardiness of a child
' Well I sent him In time: it Is not
my fault if he did not get there.'
Whose fault is ii?
Wo have a curfew ordinanee'which
Sas'3 that the enrfow shall be rung nt
a certain hour and all boys and girls
under IS yeais or age must be oTf
tho streets at that lime unless ac
companied by some older person. We
are frequently met" with this reques'
"Please do not urge the j inning o'
,tbe curfew unless they enforce it."
Webster defines "they"' as the
plural of he-siie-ur-U. The question
arises who are they? -
The city officials are supposed to
attend to the ringing of the ruifew j
is it possible that we are willing loi
shift all parental responsibility am' j
require two or three policemen to!
make a whirlwind campaign througl

Within the personal knowleilge of
the white man the springs of Hot
Luke have been flowing since 1N04,
,o.- about a hundred and fifteen years
and presumably for many years be
fore ih.it time. There is no apparent
: record of any change in the flow of
thy springs, either as to tempeiuture
or volume.
Hot J.ake passed into pirate own
; crship in the early sixties im was
(owned tor many years by two bache
liiis, Messrs. Clark and Newhard.
;Clark, who was the elder, became an
invalid and was finally taken hthI
j cared for nt the home of Mr. and Mrs.
1 Timothy Kllis, great-grandparents of
i Mrs. R. ,T. Green of this city. The Kl
lis homestead was but a few miles
from the lake and is now the home of
Albert Krouse. Clark died in 1H7S and
the partnership interests went to Mr.
Newhard.
j Although the hike building and its
accessories were let out under lease
n time or two the proprietorship of
'Mr. Newhard was continuous up to
' ivumt twenty years ago. Mr. New
Ihard died in Portland but n few
! months ago at n very advanced age.
J Efforts were made about thirty
years ago. through what was ascribed
ja't the time to the meddling officious
iness of an outsider, to bring into ques
,tion tin title to n large portion of the
lands around Hot Lake and even to
the lake property itself, based on the
: ''Mvamp" character of the lands. The
! proceedings Went so far its to threaten
a contest, but nothing came of it in
the end.
j A promotion scheme in the way o'
.commercializing Hot Lake was organ
I i.cd in INS". An incorporated com
pany in which Mr. Newhard held a
considerable share of stock, wits or
j'unized. The real intention was t
appropriate Hot Lake as n means of
boosting' l.a (t ramie, and for this pur
pose it was proposed to build a Inrge
hotel and health report in l.a (Jrnnde
and supply the institution with the
n::tural hot ntinteral water pumped
through a pipe line from the lake. The
rcheme fell through.
There wer very few artificial
changes made In the contour of the

Tides, three or four feet high, grew
around the edges of the water. It
was very common for persons, such
as horsemen tiding in the vicinity, t'
use the bullrushes for a dressing room
nil picking out a place where the
temperature was suitable, take
; plunge in the lake in broad daylight
rehabilitate and ride on.
j No objection was offered to such
procedure, although the Newhard
; building maintained two wooden tubr
and over the d;or 01 the southern en
trance stood for years the painted
sign:
