THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN,
A SONG FOR CHRISTMAS.
Chant me a rhyme of Christman—
Sin* me a Jovial song—
And though It In filled with laughter,
Let it be pure and strong.
Sing of the hearts brimmed over
With the story of the day—
Of the echo of childish voices
That will not die away.
Of the blare of the tasneied bugle,
And the timeless clatter and beat
Of the drum that throbs to muster
Squadrons of scampering feet.
But. O. let your voice fall fainter,
Till, blent with a minor tone.
You temper your song with the beauty
Of the pity Christ hath shown.
And aing one verse for the voiceless;
And yet, ere the song be done.
A verse for the ears that hear not,
And a verse for the sightless one.
For though It he time for singing
A merry Christmas glee.
Let a low. sweet voice of pathos
Run through the melody.

of her own enthusiasm Inspired the au

son In that hall went out determined
to do more In the future to aid the
erring youh to again reach and follow
the rirht path.
At the opening of her address she Im
pressed upon the audience the predous-
nes* of the child'* soul.
'•I believe," nhe nald, "that every boy
ban within him ponslbtlltle* for true
and noble manhood, and If these do
not grow It I* because they are crushed
out. The feeble-minded, the deaf and
the dumb are oared for by the state,
hut It remained until the end of the
last century for the utate to assume Ih
responsibility in caring for other than
the Intellectual training of the child."
She pointed out that It was impossible
to educate only one side of the child’s
nature without a danger to the com
munity. The other side of a child—the
moral Hide—lias also a right to be cared
for.
"We have nearly exterminated small
pox; we have exterminated all the
plagues of disease, and the state must
be as energetic In stamping out the
germ of crime us It Is In regard to the
germs of disease. Chicago was the
first city to paaa a law for the protec
tion of Juvenile offenders. If you are
going to check crime, you must take
It at th$ beginning In the child."
"I have been asked,” said Karl Grey,
"to voice an expression of your thank*
to Mrs. Schoff, Mr. Kelso and Mr. Scott
for the addresses we have heard. I
know we shall never forget the address
from Mrs. Hchoff. If she would allow
me personally. 1 desire to extend my
deepest thanks to her, and further to
congratulate Philadelphia upon pos
sessing such a cltlaen as she” Mrs.
8choff*s work had recalled to hi* mind
the sentence recently uttered by Rev.
Dr. Herrldge, "In the region of moral
endeavor there Is no limit to the result*
of a sworn purpose." Mrs. Hchoff had
almost single-handed started this
benevolent work In Philadelphia, and
many nutfons. Including Austria and
Sweden, had sent representative* to
study the laws regarding neglected
children which she had been Instru
mental In having enacted. He hoped
Canada would, not be behind Austria
and Sweden In this. "I am heartily In
sympathy with every word that has
been spoken here tonight. 1 believe there
Is urgent need of looking after young
prisoner*. It ha* come to my knowl
edge, by personal Inspection, that peo
ple who under British law cannot be
considered guilty are compelled to as
sociate with hardened criminals of the
worst stamp." Mrs. Schoff had shown
hint that the offending children should
not be treated as delinquents or crimi
nals at all. but with love and kindness,
and nature would respond to the trust
placed In them. He was glad that Mr.
Kelso had found that 96 per cent of the
boys with Whom be had to deal had

that 95 per cent of human nature was
