McCully, of the United States Jttavy, arrived not long ago with seven little Russian children whom he had piclced out from among the refugees there and had brought Over to adopt and train up s Into American citizens. The Immigration Bureau hesitated. Here was something entirely new in their experience. They knew that Rear Admiral McCully 13 one of the finest of upstanding EVERYBODY I. to set the pace. It is th business of the grown-upto see that the child develops into a more Intelligent, a healthier, a more beautiful and a superior being In every way than those grown-up- s themselves. To accomplish this end flrst-clas- s si 4 Americans; they knew that he had plenty of money end unusual education and Intelligence, "and that his quaint old house of red brick, down at No. 1821 I street in "Washington, Is one of the finest old homes , t1 '1 , 1 there are necessary brains, 1 love, patience and attention. In the land. But the admiral Is a bachelor and that Is why the department hesitated. He was fable, as he had often proven, to handle a feet of battleships and look after the health, education and discipline of thousands of "gobs." But seven children! Could any bachelor look properly after Brains train Insects, and brains harness the mighty forces of nature. Brains caa. prevent disease and can create beauty and happiness, and "if one only has enough of them they can beat grim, death himself." (Georga i them? Within a few days Washington was convinced that at least the experiment was entitled to a trial and dropped down the bars. In a little while in the odd old brick 4 . house were domiciled Nikolai Snourov McCully, 12 years old; Fedor Pazko McCully, 4 years old; Lindmlla Manetzkaya McCully, 11; Nina Furman McCully, 11; Anastasia a Sherbakova McCully, 10; Minotchka Rash-ayalin- McCully, 6, and Tonltchka McCully, 3. The admiral had begua Kli-nfen- ka his uprearlng of them. Thousands of women through the coun-- j try sniffed dubiously when they read this news and wondered audibly what was going to happen to those seven children In no the hands of a bacheor and well Intentloned matter how capable he might be so far as ships and sailors were concerned. How was he going to brfng them up? How would he meet the problems of scientific feeding of a bunch ranging from three to twelve? How was he going to keep them clean? How, would he know how to dress them, and "so on, and so on, through the duties of a combined father and motherhood? ' These questions can now be answered. rear-admira- l, multitudinous After the admiral had installed his foster children In his house he sat down and formulated, from A to Z, all the rules for bringing up children that his experience with and analysis of , the flaws In ths methods of friends and acquaintances had tuggested to him. These cover sixteen long official pages, and already every one of the seven children, except the three, know them by heart. four and of the minute day is taken up. The Every household has been organized, as a matter of fact, on the plan of a battleship, each member having certain prescribed dullea and certain "stations." Just as on board a fighting vessel each sailor has assigned to him an area which he is required to keep, clean and In order, so It is for oach little Russian McCully. "Everybody, must work," says the admiral. "Who does not work has no right to eat." Beside the actlvO dally life of ,the household, the admiral has promulgated a series of instructions upon conduct and thought One of the most Important of these is extremely bachelor like? and, perhaps, reveals why Admiral McCully has remained six-year-ol- - bachelor.
