MKDl'OKD. MASS., Dei. J. Dr.
c'harle- W. Kllot. president emeritus
of Harvard University, holds that
unless a remedy is found speedily for
the evils of the factory system a
terrible physical and moral degen
eracy will result.
"Wc have come through the period
of immigration pretty saf*.” said he.
"The American republic has the pe
culiar function of lifting up the peo
ple of the Old World.
"But city life and the factory s>s-
tetn. which keeps the immigrant boy
and girl and man in the cities, is do
ing untold harm to the newcomers
physically and morally. The factory
system Is one of the greatest curses of
civilization in this respect. The mill
Industries and city life combine to
promote, propagate and preserve con
ditions that unfavorably affect the
vitality of our modern population.
"If men of public spirit, of fore
sight and intelligence do not find the
remedy. I foresee a terrible physical
anti moral degeneracy, already visi-
'
similar to that existing in the Eng
lish factory centers to-day. We must
struggle against it.
"The family life arid family dis
cipline have greatly changed. When
I was a boy I went to the Boston
Latin School to prepare for Harvard,
as did many other boys of my time
who intended to go to college. To
day the children of the rich do not
attend the public schools. They a.r
educated in boarding and private
schools.”

FOR A HUSBAND.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think tlie most simple and ap
propriate gift a wife could pre
sent to her husband C a combina
tion collar, c uff and tie. and collar
and cuff button and tie clasp box.
Then he will not have to be run
ning all over the house hunting
them up when needed, and an in
dustrious wife can aet up the sim
ple material and make this box at
home. Also in connection with
this box is all the heartfelt love
and encouragement she can be
stow* on him. as it takes this to
make a home happy. Also a
year’s subscription ro The Geor
gian. MRS. M. M. B.
Gainesville, Ga.
AN OVERCOAT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I think the best present that
a wife can give her husband is
something to wear that he needs
at Christmas time, ai.<l every
wife knows what he needs most
of all. For my husband’s Christ
mas present I am going to give
him an overcoat. T. J. U.

STOVE OR FURNITURE.
Miss Mary Lea Davis
1 suggest that u very nice and
useful present for a husband
would be a nice suite of furniture
or a good cook stove, as either one
could well be • appreciated and
seen every day the year round.
Either would not be a very ex
pensive gift. H. E. H.
Jnman, S. C.
WILL EARN “HIS" GIFT.
Miss Alary Lea Davis:
Christmas is the time of all
times to show, by your gifts to
husband, that you are ever
thoughtful of his wishes and de
sires. Now, 1 intend to earn
by my own efforts the price qf
the gift I shall give him. which, l
think, would be more appropriate
than if he had to pay for his own
gift. As my husband is a great
lover of a certain breed of chick
ens and has several nice hens, but
is unfortunate in not having the
male bird that he wants (and 1
believe we should let circum
stances guide us in the selection
of gifts), I am going to give hint
a fine male bird that will be "a
thing of beauty and a joy for
ever.” and at the same time it
will be a source of great pleas
ure and profit to him every day
in the year. MRS. B. J.
Atlanta, Ga.
MAKE HER YOUR "PAL."
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The best present a husband t an
present his wife is to let her
share equally in the joys ami sor
rows of her husband. > Take her
into his confidence. Never go out
on a pleasure trip nor visit any
plat e where she can not go. Let
her be your partner in business;
let her know your exact financial
affairs; give her a reasonable

Miss Mary Lea Davie:

mode a small picture of myself
and baby, and have put it in a
little gold locket that can be at
tached to his watch chain. My
husband travels, so when tired
out after a hard day's work ha

A MORRIS CHAIR.
My Dear Miss Davis:
I would give my husband a
handsome Morris chair, a good
dinner and a good cigar for bodi
ly refreshment after a day of toil.
If it were possible, I would re
move everything that causes him
unhappiness or suspense: bid,
above all. I would h .ve him have
the "best gift"—the tove and
peace of God to keep him at all
times. MRS. W. E. D.

AN OVERCOAT.
.Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most useful present for a
wife to give her husband is
something he really needs, be it
small or great. She should make
or save the money hedself and
give according to her means. One
Christmas I gave a tie and some
handkerchiefs. This Christmas I
am going to give an overcoat.
MRS. G. \V. J.

A WIFE’S IDEA.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most perfect and appre
ciated gift, to my mind, that a
wife can give her husband on
Christmas morn is to have the
home in perfect order, a place
for everything, and always keep
it there, w'ell-cooked meals for
that day and a promise to have

A BANK ACCOUNT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The first Christmas after 1 was
married I gave my wife for a
Christmas present a savings ac
count bank book with a $10 de
posit. and, as I was working for a
salary, 1 asked ner to let's re
member her Christmas present at
least once a month until we get
old or when she is left a widow,
and now, as it is our greatest as
set, I think she thinks of it and
appreciates it daily.
At other Christmases since I
have bought her several little
presents, but I don't think she
could show' you any of them ex
cept the first one, which she says
will be her bungalow Christmas
present some day. So 1 haven’t
decided yet what to give her this
Christmas, but as she is figuring
on the bungalow, I think I will
just give her another fence on the
old present. J. O. M.
Macon, Ga.
A SET OF FURS.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
A husband should ask his wife
to name over the things she
wishes Christmas. He can then
give her the one he can afford. I
gave my wife a sectional book
case last Christmas, as she had
been wanting one a long time.
This Christmas I am going to
give her a set of furs that she
longs for. G. \Y. J.
Opelika, Ala.
A ROLL-TOP DESK.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
1 think a roll-top desk and re
volving chair, with flexible desk
light with green shade a useful
present for a husband.
MRS. G. G. P.
Macon, Ga.
FOR HIS HAPPINESS.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The most useful present a wife
can give her husband this Christ
mas is a. contract, duly signed b\
her, that she will cook for him
for the following year ending
Christmas, 1914; remuneration to
be love and affection, no more
late breakfasts, no more burnt
bread, no more indigestion, no
more time lost looking for a new
cook; a fuller pantry, a Hushed
purse, a rosy-cheeked wife, and
a husband filled with pride and
gratitude, whose peace of mind
over his savings of $4 \ or week
for 52 weeks completely trans
form him into a contented and
happy husband. MRS. M. G. C.
Marietta, Ga.
SOMETHING TO SHOW.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
T think the most appropriate
thing to give a husband is*a heart
full of love, and get him some
thing within your means, yet
something that he will be proud
of and not ashamed to show his
friends or tell them about.
Atlanta, Ga. MRS. C. H. L.
A CHRISTMAS DINNER.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The best Christmas gift for m.\
husband is a dinner cooked by
my own hands, inviting less for-
tunates to partake of the meal
with us. MRS. I\ C. L.
Atlanta, Ga.
THE “COMRADE HEART.”
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Let husband and wives seek
their gifts from The Georgian’s
advertising columns and they
“shall not err therein." The “com
rade he.art” is. after all, the great
est gift In the world. C. B.
Talbotton, Ga. •
CUFF BUTTONS.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
Cuff buttons are a nice pres
ent for a husband. They can be
had with red labels cut from
baking powder cans, or other
coupons. MRS. S. F.
College Park. Ga.
HER GIFT TO HIM.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
1 think the best suggestion for
my husband would be a year's
subscription to The Georgian and
Sunday American, as he likes to
know the news about the Amer
icans In Mexico and business af
fair-. MRS. H. R.
Atlanta, Ga.

GIFT. NOT GIVER.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
It isn’t the gift but the giver. T
would suggest a good slimier, as
husband nays for the present, any
way. Why not make him happy,
while he will enjoy Christmas all
the more, knowing he has a wife
who thinks of bis financial welfare
as much so as his personal. I think
a face wreathed in smiles is better
than a mansion wreathed tn holly.
Atlanta, Ga. MRS. F. M. A-
A CHRISTMAS DINNER.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
To be told and made to feel that
..it are loved devotedly and appre
ciated. no matter what station in life,
i* worth more than all the gifts
that money can buy. so on Christ
mas day 1 will prepare with my own
bands h good, bountiful dinner for
mv husband. I shall garnish each
dish with a smile and Christmas
•beer, so that he will feel it was a
labor of love.
I shall tell him. too. that I ap
preciate him, and I am sure this will
gladden his heart and cause it

we can both realize the true mean
ing of “Peace on earth, good will to
ward men." MRS. C. M. I’.

Miss Mary Lea Davis:
I have made my wife a nice

and $1 for paint and 50 cents for
other material. C. A. H.
