Show "WEARING OUR WAY." Jacob A. RIls writing In the Survey for May, draws an analogy between the steady efTort of the ages that wore put the Grand Canyon in Arizona and the patient forcos that are remodeling our social life. But he still has a hidden hid-den word for the lmpetuousness of his j champion, Roosevelt, when he writes: I spoke or tne iorces mat aug oui the Grand Canyon as persistent and patient. pa-tient. Perhaps I was wrong as to that last. They raged In their day, I know, and It helped. It Is a good sign when communities lose patience over mismanagement mis-management of their schools. We did that In New York or we should never havo got where we are. In Denver I was reminded of that day, when I heard a demand for more schools and for a municipal lodging house In the same breath. That was. quite like i New Yorq a dozen of fifteen years ago. And tho two are not without the connection con-nection that seems obscure at first glimpse; more schools to prevent, the making of Idlers and tramps of the children drifting in the street; decent lodging for the homeless to prevent the making of more tramps by furnishing furnish-ing that which Is only fit for tramps, and as a logical step toward parting the goats from the sheep, so that the tramp may be dealt with as such and the honest, homeless man on his merit." |
