Tho greatest evil connected with the problem of power In the present life Is .he malcducatlon of men as to the wurces from which It Is to bo drawn ind tho methiids by which It Is to be wed. The many and the prosperous are rone to believe that power Is a deposit tf divine election. Finding one's self josseshed of It, the owner at once con Uudcs that he has been chosen of (led t order a part of the universe, tloni Jinte his fellows, dictate events and jcal punishments to those who offend gainst his self-nssumed prerogatives. iCno of tho noblest charities In nny Ity Is tho system of Pasteurized milk depots established and maintained lu Kew York by Nathan Strauss. Prom these nUitloiw nearly one million lxt leu of milk and milk foods for Infants JVero distributed during the past sum cer. Those who wero not willing to ccopt tho milk free wero allowed to li&y ono cent a bottle certainly a low crlco for self-respect. Through the co liberation of tho physicians of tho 'Health Department knowledge of the llk depots has been spread among lie tenement house mothers, and free niupons for thu bottles of milk have neea distributed.

The report of Commissioner Harris shows that the total of pupils In the schools, elementary, secondary and higher, both public and private, In tho United States for the yenr ending June 80, 1001, was 7,2u0,2.'50, nn Increnso of 278,020 pupils over tho previous year. Of this number 10,710,301 were enrolled In schools supported by locnl and gener al taxation. If we add to this enrollment those who attended certain special Insti tutions like evening schools, commer cial schools and schools of cookery and of special trades and vocations, wo have n grand total of over seventeen nnd thrcc-iuartcr millions of the population that received education for n longer or shorter period during tho year. An In teresting feature of tho report Id tho Increased per capita expenditure for education. In 1870 the expenditure for schools per capita of tho population was $1.0-1; tho last year It was $2.03 per cap ita, the highest In the history of tho country. This army of seventeen million youngsters is thu hope of the republic. It Is the Invincible defense of our Insti tutions and of our democracy. No other army on thu globe Is comparable to It as a force for civilization nnd ns a bul wark for freo and popular government. A report of tho Commissioners of Primus In England wlilch was Issued recently pnyu pnrtlculur attention to tho case of young offenders between tho nges of 10 and 21. It Is said Unit under thu existing law there Is ade quate provision for thosu of n more tender age, excellent results having been attained through tho present In dustrial uuu reformatory school sys tem. Hut ever' person nbovo 10 Is nil adult for the puifmso of thu criminal law, nnd tho cliihtdllcutlon leads to seri ous mistakes. Discussing the question tho report s'i.vs: "Figures lmvo shown, and thu committee of 1801 have testi fied, that tho ago between 10 mid 21 s essentially the criminal age, and that from criminals of this ago the profes sional criminal of later years Is gen erated. It Is known also to students of human nature Unit this age Is a particularly plastic ago, mid that the habit which may lend to crime or vir tue cannot bo said to be fully formed before tho ago of 21." Starting with those premised tho report argues that separatu treatment Is required for tho particular class of criminals referred to. Their dlsclpllno should bo different from that of old offenders, and earnest efforts should bo made to reform them. Aside from tho special euro wlilch should bo given them lu prison It Is necessary that supervision should bo had over them after their discharge, and that a sutllcleutly long pcilod of time should bo prescribed during which they would bo iiuulo niucnublo to healthy Influences. Tho first of the to needs, It Is wild, hns been supplied "by thu benevolent and philanthropic action of n Isidy of gentlemen who have lately formed themselves Into an association for tho distinct purpose of dealing with these cases on discharge." For thu other, action by Parliament Is request ed, "should It become sntlstled by tho result of the experiment that Is being made that thu existing system of a suc cession of short sentences for young criminals Is Ineffective and mischiev ous, and that better rosults can bn obtained If iswer wero given to the courts to commit for long periods to the euro of thu statu young criminals who nre shown by their antecedents to bu graduating for u course of 'profes sional' crime."
