It litiuU an editorial: "Let Children
Jo lUrvfoot," in aupport of which Jecla
ration it , in part:
lWvui rertaiu exceedingly scncible

M well M discomfort b lotting it'ft
children run barefoot In the) warm
weather, ft certain other claw makes
Jtt ounpter rua U e fierce summer
lliroagh UU their littl feet sweltering
in shoe and stocking. There is really
no dangvr that children will be ths
wore for being allowed to so with the
foot covering nature desigred for them
not even sociallji.lt there is nothing
more than shoes to stamp the catte of
VeredeYere, the child might just as
well be barefooted s in patent leathers.
There is a foolish theory that going
barefoot I 'spread' the foet and makes
them larger. Nothing can be further
from the fact It gives the feet natural
growth and shape, fills them with com
pact, welt-knit muscle, makes them
healthy and efficient and has tendency
to leave them small, just as good muscle
is smaller for the eame strenth than
flabby muscle".
As to how natural it is to go without
shoes and stockings the yearning and
craving of the children themselves bear
most eloquent witness. The Chicago
Journal says further: "If any grown
person requires iuither proof he may
bare it by noting the quickness and
ease with which hi own feet harden
themselves at the beach within few
days. It is the natural and comfortable
thing to d , and if more grown folk
could be induced to do it from childhood
on there would not be so many to re-
tret the unnatural and distorted feet
which prevail toolurgrly. Let the child
ren ruu !arefoot it is their natural
. right."
It is wonder that our esteemed
Windy City contemporary has not quo t
ed in this connection something of rea''
y the finest poem in American litera
ture, writtcni by America greatest
poet:
Eloping on thee, little man,
Barefoot boy, with cheek of Un ;
With their turued-up pantahans.
And thy merry, whistled tuues;
With thy red lips, redder mill,
Kissed by sirrw berries on the hill:
With the sunshine on thy face,
Through thy torn brim's jaunty grace;
From my heah I give thee joy,
I was once a barefoot boy.
Well why not the barefoot girl, too?
When children go to the seacoast, they
take off their shoes aud stockings and
revel in the saud and surf. Everybody
enjoys it with them.
Next to Mother Nature that is the
idea. And children can do it better
than if clad in $70! Portland Journal.
