V ' ' "We have the making of the largest city In the United States," said Mr. Griffin, ."but ntn our people learn to improve the streets and until a senti ment in favor of the best streets is cre ated Portland can never realise its pos sibilities.

In this system the fam. lly has two -distinct parties, the govern ing end the governed, the parents and. the children.' Whatever Is commanded must be done without question. - Abso lute obedience Is the Ideal- unthinking, unquesUonlng obedience. Of the virtues and the faults of this form of govern ment there are differing opinions, which we may not stop to consider, it may be sufficient to say that the system Is little used now, compared to a .half century er more ago, and that the new Interest In child study from the socio logical standpoint, which Is Increasing ly, evidenced in the literature of the day Is proof of a serious doubt as to the complete sufficiency of the despotic theory as spoiled to family life. . There are thoae who look with alamo.. too, at the free and easy modern home, where children are growing up, as they predict, to an utter disregard of all discipline and In disrespect to all lew snd order. Every Individual in suoh a family as causes this feeling of alarm, acts upon his own Judgment a to his tastes, his pleasures- and -his share In the family reeponalbllltles. ' To point s distinct case, a boy employed In vone of -our large . of floe buildings, as an elevator boy,' who boasts to another boy that he earns 111 a week and turns In to his mother 14. The rest Is his U is eesy to see the demoralising In. f luence upon the boy who has been earning lesa than half as much and turning It Into the family treasury, re ceiving back what aeemed necessary for lunchea and incidentals. Ths second boy immediately feels that he has been Im posed upon. Thus soclallstlo tdess catch ths eommon mind.
