« « « Committee on Statistics and Laws; following the careers of children to note effect and permanency of cultivation; to be used in legislation when needed.
;ie « ;!: Committee on Waste for the Waif.
4: 4: 4: The latter committee may well study the history of sacrifice in times of war and other emergencies and learn that these seasons of deep and common interest have often inspired the putting away of useless ornament and luxury, and the saving of careless waste in the interest of a patriotic... cause, and that the sacrifice has been a means of posi- OR, SOCIAL QUARANTINE i8l tive pleasure that indifference or neg- lect cannot carry with them.
For instance: The most careful per- sons, in times of relaxed attention, waste not less than one cent in every dollar expended, and think nothing of it. One cent in one dollar is one one- hundreth of one's income, an inconsid- erable amount, a trifle indeed! and yet, one one-hundreth of the incomes of half the people would support a Per- fect Social Quarantine; cut off the supply of material for criminals; add largely to the productive efficiency of the community; decrease taxes; give more pleasure to the contributors and active workers than any other pursuit; lead to sanitary and filth eradication; do away with the constant terror of burglars that every sound in the dark now creates; take away the discom- fort of that typically American disease 1 82 THAT LAST WAIF; called catarrh, by cleaning up the dust- producing quarters of neglect; and create a rational and civilized environ- ment to take the place of one which now produces much worry, snuffling and unhappiness; and, within a brief season of time whose days would pass with pleasant acceleration in the joyous consciousness of usefulness, efficiency, progress, hope and happiness.
