“My husband and I are faced with
■ problem which, after wearing us
out for months, is as far as ever
from a solution. Terhaps you can
advise me on It.
“I am the mother of four children
of school age. Due to a recent ill¬
ness, my husband's earnings, never
large, have been considerably de¬
creased, and we cannot do for our
children what we would like to. A
few months ago a dear friend asked
to adopt one of them legally. This
couple Is in very comfortable circum¬
stances and could give the child ad¬
vantages In life which we could never
afford. At first we were overjoyed,
but upon further deliberation have

Surely no sterner problem

writer and counselor to whom
pathetic appeal was addressed
answers It:

‘‘The adoption of children by those
who are childless has added a great
deal to the world’s supply of happi¬
ness. It has brought joy and a fuller
life to foster parents ar,d to many an
orphan or under-privileged child a
far better life than the one to which
he was born, the haven of home an l
parents’ love.
“If we were to consult the various
agencies throughout the country who
are the medium for most adoptions. I
think we should find rare the record
of any that was not a success. But it
Is also rare, to say the least, to con¬
sider transferring a child of thinking
age from his own parents, to foster
parents in the same city and expect
to effect an adoption in every sense
of the word.
“The feelings of the parents who
relinquish the child are not the mosf
Important element in the matter.
That Is the happiness of the child
himself. And to me it seems ques¬
tionable, to say the least, that great¬
er material comforts or luxuries can
make up to a child of normal affec¬

ing uprooted from even the poorest
home circle of decent parents who
love him, and three brothers and sis

“Going to live with a wealthy
friend but retaining his home ties
might be one thing. But when peo¬
ple legally adopt a child they want
nim to be their child. And if fair¬
ness to the foster parents is any con¬
sideration it seems to me another
point against this scheme.
“I believe my dear reader, your an¬

Life in Crowded City
Leads to Individualism
The effect upon the human race of
the cluttering together in huge cities
Is not easy to foretell, says a writer
in the Montreal Herald. I know, of
course, that in the woods where trees
crowd together too closely they grow
up slender and spindling, to the loss
of rugged strength. I suppose it is
true that the human race likewise
deteriorates when crowded together
too closely. But on the other hand
there should be advantage. If knowl¬
edge Is power cities should develop
power, for knowledge of man by man
is exceedingly possible where men
are thrown closely together. Mutual¬
ity ought to grow, the pressure of
numbers should weld people together
in closer communion. As a matter
of fact it does not. People in the
back settlements are much more
friendly than those In the towns.
There is probably more ignorance
about worth-while things in the city
than In the country, certainly as
much if not more selfishness. Curi¬
ously enougii, the city seems to
promote individualism more than
does the country. The city individual
lives to himself. He does not know,
nor care to know his next door
neighbor. He will deal with a mer¬
chant for 20 years without knowing
him. He is concerned with the pro¬
motion of his own interests. And
that Is not good for a person or for
his world. Individualism can never
better the race very much. Nothing
can but co-operation. Country folk
are learning that more quickly than
townsfolk.
Perfect Defense
The perfect alibi was established
by a Cambridge (.Mass.) professor
when a policeman called at his door
and ordered him to shovel the snow
off his sidewalk. At that moment
the professor was In the Sahara
desert, with an archeological ex¬
pedition, shoveling sand.
