Those who have farms consider it to be the slowest means of support, it also provides work for only a part of the year. The winter months are idle and the work is not regular, some months less than others. If it is to supply the House of Refuge with farm produce, it may pay. But a shop for the manufacture of various articles, and to give boys a trade, would be more useful to the boys, with enough land to give them recreation.
It was found through the experience of Western farmers that it is easy to produce more than can be sold, and that the labor and expense in producing these articles are a total loss unless consumed within a year or two.

A large shop within whose walls household stuff could be manufactured would never fail of finding a purchaser, at some price. The whole world yet needs to be lifted up into a love for an elegant home, with all its appliances.
We have natural affection to aid in this effort. We have woman's desire to equal her neighbor in home elegancies. We have squalid poverty, made so by lack of conveniences. We have a city's debt, the hope of being paid vanishing from view farther every year. We have a population made up of foreigners, who will never move to the country, renters, whose landlords also prefer to keep them here. It is wise to accept of human nature as we find it and provide work they will gladly do.
Mr. Forbush in his lecture on labor said "that no doubt pauperism, the great affliction of England and Europe, began when there was not sufficient work. Willing hands found no work, until the willingness was also taken away."
Those who come to this country come to better their con- dition. Let us use their labor with a small compensation until their work from its excellence will bring a higher price and then they can find their own work.
If by doing this we injure others in their trade, we also put into the pockets of the poor something to trade with and it comes back into the city. None of these poor will keep their money when their needs beg for it.
Our hospitals will not be so full, for nothing so soon brings a sick body and soul as the lack of something to do. Jails and refuges will have but few, and these men who would, by monopoly, crowd the weak ones to the wall, will find that their trade will increase when the honest poor have a dollar to purchase with.

The thoughtful ones grow rich by self denial and fore- thought, but the majority spend as they go. It will take ages in the ordinary way to make the world better, but here in America we have public schools, and soon all the heads of families will have had an education and they will be willing to give it to their children and with education will come a love of all life's elegancies.
Let us give the poor a chance to lift themselves, and not by taking all labor from them oblige them to steal or starve. Self-respect is necessary, let us cherish it and help, in an un- ostentatious way instead of monopolizing all work and then publish in the paper of a few dollars given to the poor. Regu- late labor and confine it to a few hours of the day. It will give better work and time for recreation. It will give health and cheerfulness.
ARE BOYS WORTH SAVING
In other words, is the race worth saving. Boys are given us by the Heavenly Father as pure as the girls. They have more vitality and therefore have more energy for good or evil. It is our fault and the fault of society if boys go wrong.
Mothers yield their better judgment to others until they have less force to insist on laws being obeyed. But strong will is necessary in boys who, when men, are to build our railroads, our telegraph and telephone lines, bridges, boats and great city blocks.
If boys had no more strength than girls none of these things would be done. Women could not hew stone, or saw out furniture, her genius would suggest the manner of building, but her strength could never cope with the physical laws of earth. If she was depended on we would be like the savages, living in caves and wigwams.

All honor and praise for men who have done so much for home and fatherland.
Pestullitzer understood boys. He gave ideas through ob- ject lessons, rules of arithmetic he gave in blocks of wood. He made maps to represent hills and valleys, made them of papier mache, and they are now used in our West High Schools.
This education combines the eye and hand, makes educa- tion rapid. It does not take years to learn geography or arithmetic. To see it is to know it. Therefore I would advise using our battleships to take schools abroad and all history is soon known.
It is a dreadful waste of the people's money to build a navy when the whole world cries for peace. When the torpedo boat skips under this giant ship and scatters it to pieces.
Let us put our money into education, into cheap travel. It is stated the real cost of taking a person from New York City to California is six dollars. Let women look more into the ac- tual cost of things.

ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF NEW YORK SOROSIS
Founded May, 1891
Taken from "Sorosis, Its Origin and History," by Mrs. Croly, sent to Mrs. Rose by Helen Watterson, once of Cleveland Voice, now of New York Sun, page 10.
"Call it the Woman's League," said Miss Kate Field, "and it will have the backing of the Union League Club." "The Sphinx," said Miss Alice Cary. "The Columbian," said Miss Phebe Cary. They had piles of dictionaries, but the first one they pounced upon happened to be the botanical dictionary. They found the word sorosis and liked it for its full appropriate signification and sweet sound, full of gracious meaning. Mrs. Wilbur thought it needed too much explanation, and we asked Mr. Wilbur's advice. He was a journalist, and he said, "It is a good word and a good name," so we adopted it.
The society was organized with twelve members. Mrs. Celia Burleigh, Mrs. E. L. Demorest and others. President, Alice Cary; Vice President, Jennie C. Croly; Corresponding Secretary, Kate Field, Tribune Office; Recording Secretary, Charlotte Wilbur. Committee: Phebe Cary, Ella Clymer, Mrs. Celia Burroughs, Josephine Pollard, Lucy Gibbons, and Ellen Louise Demorest.
At the first luncheon, Miss Kate Field proposed to recon- sider the name Sorosis, and then proposed Women's League. With her was Mrs. James T. Field of Boston. The change was made. At the next meeting Miss Ella Clymer brought a reso- lution for reconsideration and this cleared the way for a second ballot and Sorosis was restored by an overwhelming vote. This action cost the club the cooperation of Miss Field and others.

Alice Cary resigned at the next meeting as a conflict of opinions agitated her. Her nervous system was not equal to the strain.
The membership increased from fifteen to fifty. The papers made much ridicule, for at that time not even church mission- ary societies were officered by women.
Mr. R. B. Roosevelt asked to join Sorosis, but was refused with thanks on account of his sex, not his principles. The Press Club gave a breakfast, which was of gentlemen, and Sorosis was invited, but they did not invite it to speak or do anything but sit still and be talked to and sung to.
The second entertainment given by Sorosis was a tea given to the Press Club, at which it did all the talking, allowing the gentlemen no chance to speak, not even to respond to their own toast. The third was a dinner where each paid their own way and shared equally the honors and responsibilities.
The daily paper said, "The New York Press Club may pride itself upon having established a precedent," and Alice Cary said in a poem on the occasion:
We mean to prove your praise a fable, And while for that good end we pray,
Let lightning harnessed to the cable, Trample old ocean into spray,
With news that woman sat at table, Above the salt today.
Mrs. Croly presented three resolutions :
"1st. That what women want most is freedom to do and to be. They are at the present day slaves to habit, to custom, to prejudice, to fashion, and to laws that are made to govern the woman but not the human being.
2nd. That we advocate freedom in dress, whether it is the style of yesterday or of last year.
28

3rd. That we neither condemn fashion nor ignore it, but use it, if it suits us, or act independently, if that suits us better.
4th. That a committee be formed to take up the question of dress at the next meeting."
It was intended the permanent work of the Sorosis should be a woman's parliament, to crystallize the intelligence and in- fluence of women into moral power. To act in the interest of society, on prison reform and reformatory schools, hygienic and sanitary reforms, dishonesty in public life, domestic econ- omy and female labor. It would give women a voice in public affairs and the privilege of the vote, without the humiliation of asking for it from those who have no right to withhold it.
This measure was defeated in the club. Catherine Sedg- wick and Mrs. Horace Mann were present when the following resolutions were proposed :
"That we organize a body called the Women's Council of New York City, and a greater general organization called the Women's Parliament."
The "London Queen" quotes from Mrs. Burleigh's address :
"We have found self-education very necessary and a wom- an's club a wonderful school and a test of genuine quality. Women are without means and without freedom. Very few women have money of their own. We have done our best to make women helpful, so that we will not need asylums for helpless women. We do not intend any specific work, but give truer ideas of the life of woman.
"The great error of a Republican form of government is that it does not recognize women but as a creature to be pun- ished. The cry from them to us is, 'Your life is our hope.' We shall live to see Women's Clubs the conservator of public morals, the uprooter of social evil, the defender of women

against women, the preserver of the sanctities of domestic life."
"Custodia" was given to the younger part of the society to be attendants at lunch, especially of guests. The plan has worked well.
Mrs. Croly refused renomination as President and Mrs. Wilbur accepted it. She had talks by medical women in various halls and vestries. She was elected for five years. She, in 1892, proposed a "call" for a congress of women, through Miss Alice Fletcher. A three day meeting followed with this pro- gram in part:
"How Can Women Best Associate?" . Julia Ward Howe
"The Co-Education of the Sexes" Mrs. E. C. Stanton
"A Collegiate Education for Women". Caroline A. Soule
"The Higher Education of Women". Prof. Maria Mitchell "Women's Work in the Pulpit and Church". .. Phoebe Haniford "Women's Place in Government" Mary J. Eastman
Kindergarten, temperance, medical profession, household work, indoors and outdoors, the legal profession, and other topics.
This "Association for the Advancement of Women" has held an annual congress since then. Mrs. Croly became President of Sorosis when Mrs. Wilbur went to Europe. She said in her address: "A women's club is nothing monstrous or unnatural. The more we know the more we can tolerate. We do not paint pictures, but we want to know about those who do and what kind of pictures they paint. We do not get up dramatical enter- tainments, but we want to know how the drama affects women, socially, physically and morally.
"We want to know about others' philanthropy, and we can pass our time without the masculine occupations of drinking, smoking and playing cards."

They changed House and Home to Sanitary Committee and made one on Journalism. They asked the College of the City of New York and Columbia College to admit women, also Harvard to give to women the same studies it gives to men.
1st. This will raise the character of the work done and help in pecuniary reward.
2nd. This has been done in Ann Arbor and Syracuse.
3rd. New York offers the best opportunities in art and the professions, therefore its education should be the highest.
This was endorsed by Dr. Barnard, President of New York City College, but was not successful. Sorosis recognizes the good work done by women. They gave a reception to Mary J. Lamb on the completion of her History of the City of New York.
The Emma Willard fund was to provide scholarships in some good college. They have made up purses for fire sufferers, yellow fever sufferers, working women's unions and other objects.
In 1893 they "Resolved, that the poor need opportunity for exercise and development, as everything thrives by its own powers being active. We should give free instruction in the fine arts and industrial arts."
"He that feeds men serveth few; He serves all who dares be true." -Emerson.
