Money cannot easily be borrowed tr small communities, snd when It U found, the rate of Interest Is usual to high. A law has lately been passed Ic Massachusetts Intended to rellove thli condition by permitting tho establish meat of small co-operative bank They are to be based on substantial!) the same principle as thst on whlct are founded the Ralffelsea banks Ic Oormany and Italy. The Ralffelsoc hank Is really a group of neighbors living In the came community and fa miliar with one another's affairs, form ed for the purposo of uniting thetj credit la borrowing money for such ol them as need It. Every member of th group must be Industrious and of good moral character. When he wishes tc borrow money he must explain whal be plans to do with it. It the lendlnf committee approves his purpose, th money will be advanced to htm at s low rate of Interest, usually S per cent Then a general supervision Is kept over him to see that he spends thi monoy In accordance with his an nounced purpose, and so conducts him self as to be able to pay It back when It falls due. It Is said that this sye tem has not only relieved the Gercnac farmers from the oppressions of the usurers, but has also Improved tht moral tone of the country. As loam are made only to members, and as ad the members are Jointly liable for the payment of loans, they all watch on another to see that there Is no wasts of money In drunkenness or la other loose living. There Is room In rural America for such Institutions. Th experience of Mentone, Italy, with s local bank of a slightly different plan, Illustrates what might happen there. A Utile more than twenty-fire yean ago some small capitalists formod a bank in the town to take the place ol another Institution that had failed. Tho prevailing rate of Interest for fanners was then 12 per cent. In eushl years this little co-operative bank had succeeded la reducing the rate to . per cent, and the small farmers had no difficulty In borrowing. The dl trlet Is now prosperous, and the farm ers have been relieved from the press lng burden of debt. JL REFORMATION AS A CRIME CURE. Oy Cmtmo O. Romllly. It Is now an uncontested truth that our methods tor dealing with crime have been sadly defective. We have regarded punish merit only from tho deterrent and retributive standpoints, and have paid no attention whatever to tho reformative. There Is a movement to try (o help and reform crimin als, and so by reclamation to cure crime by going to tho root of the evil, and by studying criminology as a science. This movement Is growing day by day, flowing In like an enormous wave that Is beond the power of man to check. The abolition of capital punishment Is only a small part of this great movement, but a part of no mean Importance. One hun dred years ago death was the penalty in England for an enormous number of offenses, and among others tor counterfeiting stamps for the nolo of perfumery, and also of certificates for hair powder. We have made some progress at lesstt Wo are altogether more hu mane now than we were theu Let us remember that two wrongs do not make a right, and that the state does not annul the murder by putting the murderer to death, but. Instead, makes It a double tragedy. Some countries have abolished capital punishment, but It still remains a "blot to honor and religion." That same spirit which has abolished the punishments of drawing and quartering In the past will abolish the punishment of death In the future. Is beltoved that only through enlightened Industrialism shall we "find that slate of things In whloh It shnuld be impossible tor anyone to be depraved or poor." There Is no altruism In trade building, and mere op timism Is not Immune, but scientific meliorism stands the wear and tear, while a healthy Industrialism offers the safest and sanest means, In the workshop, labors tory and marts of trade, In wearing away the barriers between the race and between the classes. A ---e--.s, JL INDUSTRIAL BETTERMENT ESSENTIAL TO CITY. liy 0. Edward Fuller. Strange that we have learned to regard In dustrialism with pride but shy at reference to "work" and "trade." Art and culture we con jure with, like fakirs in front of a sideshow, although we draw our food and clothes from work and trade; while past history Indicates no future prospect of the solid furnishing forth of a worthy national life with lack of broad and wholesome respect tor the wngo- earner. The course of the nations Is strewn with wrecks of culture, and no dominating art exists to-day nothing but fragments. There never will be endur ing art and culture until the people of a nation grow up to them as a whole, and through adequate vocational pride and skill, perhaps, but certainly not through par asitism or partial views. Japan has shown us, Germany Is teaching us, and our disjointed national educational system is in sore need of proper articulation with a growing, a vitalising In dustrialism based upon meliorism In the factory, the warehouse and the store, but detached from tricky and sorded forms of mere commercialism. It Is the hope of scientific meliorism that mankind has reached an epoch of betterment by a controlling, conscious evolution acting with natural evolution, and It NEED OF INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION. lly lldwln O, Cooley. Within recent years there haa sprung up a widespread demand for Industrial education. It come from the msuutarturer, profession al man, mechanic, farmer and educator In dustrial education has protwtbly a different meaning for each of these types of Individ uals. Yet all agree upou one thing, and Out Is that It Is something not found In adequate form In our present educational system. Practically nothing has been done In this country tor the development of Industrial education outside the college or university. Thousands of pupils now Irave school at an early age with no training what ever directly fitting thru for the activities of life In tho Industrial world, where most of them will find their work. In the larger cltle trade schools and contlnua tlon schools of various type must lie organised. The scope and character of their work will be varied and must be adapted to local conditions. In rural com munities secondary schools In which the study of ag rlculture and related lines of work Is the dominant pur pose must be organised. Hut when these different types of schools come Into existence, even In considerable number, throughout the country the solution of the problem has Just begun. For the great mass of those needing Industrial education the existing public schools must furnish the facilities.

Peary climbed the crsg to the wire less station to Interview Spracklln. He told the operator that ho wanted (o send (o (he world below his account of the discovery of (he north pole. He believed that he could put It on the laud wire at Chateau Hay down the coast, but the wireless man at Indian Harbor had told him that tho Dominion government had abandoned that land wlro slnco last ho had come down from the North and he must use the wireless. Could tho wireless do It? Spracklln said that It could. Then he called the man at Hello Islo over tho strait a hundred miles away, and told him to pass the word along tho line Uiat there wus big work ahead. The word was passed down to tho of fice of the management In Ottawa. Spracklln worked twenty hours out of every twenty-four for Ave day nlone and unaided save for tho relief his engineer gave him while he was rat ing his meals. Spracklln and all tho others pounded tho koy during thoso five days, not knowing at what min ute the spark would fall because of the strain pnt upon tho apparatus, Spracklln would send two, three or four thousand words, then stop. Each succeeding station below would re ceive, then forward this amount, and not until It had all been put upon the cables at Cape Ray would the next Installment be launched. Hero is how Peary's story was zig zagged down the coast through the air (o (he cable end. From Haltle Harbor it went southeastward across the Straits of Belle Isle to the sta tion situated on the northern tip of tho Island of (hat namo.
