Churches and Schools of the Task. Springfield.--Unless tile minority report of the educational committee of the constitutional convention Is adopted when it reaches the second reading a new state policy has been written by the basic lawmakers. The measure provides that Illinois shall erept Institutions fbr the care and education of dependent and delinquent children of the state and assume the entire burden of the cost. The practice prevailing at present of paying from state or county funds certain sums of money to church and sectarian schools and Institutions within the state for a part of the cost of caring for and educating such children will be abolished within the next 15 years. ' _ The period of time decided upon- by the delegates, sitting as a committee of Hie whole, is believed ample In which the change can be made and the Institutions needed be built and equipped ready to receive the children. The fight to forever put a stop to the leakage of state funds Into church and sectarian Institutions lasted two days and called forth spirited debate. It was brought before the committee of the whole on the minority report of the committee on education <by Delegate Dunlap, from Champaign. The vote carried. 41 to 27. The opposition, however, refuse to stay defeated. Claims were made that when the report comes up for second reading it will fall to receive the required 52 votes. The minority defenders claim in reply that they will make every efTort to marshal at, least 60 votes for good measure. The Dunlap report appeared to be doomed for defeat at the opening of the discussion, but Delegate Rinaker of Macoupin county came to its rescue with an amendment that ten years be permitted the state to prepare for so decided a change in policy. It also provided that during this period state aid shall not be granted to any church or sectarian institutions that have not been receiving it for two years prior to 1920. This clause will prevent any new Institutions from springing up and making financial connections with public treasuries of any of the political subdivisions of the state. During the debates the juvenile court of Cook county came In for much publicity and for a time It looked as If It was the bone of contention. The "debate took on all angles of argument and were approached from different points of view. Many delegates thought they saw in the measure a clear-cut religious Issue and both sides In debate deplored the fact that it had entered the discussion. Others argued from the humanitarian point of view, claimnlg that the present methods of caring for these children wrap •round the child as tender influences as can be created In the absence of parents. They contrasted them with the cold indifference and lack of attention that it Is claimed will come from caring foi children in a state institution with attendants appointed through civil service br by the administration. The cost to construct sufficient Institutions to care for 12,000 children such as are now In the state, and the annual cost of maintenance was placed by Delegate David Shanahan, speaker of the house, who sought to defeat the minority report from the "practical end financial" standpoint, at $20,000,- 000. The question of limiting Cook connry's representation in the legislature is Injecting itself into the fight for the initiative and referendum in the constitutional convention. In the initiative and referendum some Chicago delegates believe might be found relief for the county should Its voice in the general assembly be seriously limited. Cook county is expected soon to have mofe than half of the state's population. Then, it is argued, with an effective Initiative and referendum, it could counteract a downstate major ity vote In the legislature. Objectionable measures passed by the downstate legislators could be defeated on a referndum by the voters in Cook county if they united their strength. They also would have Itjn their power to Initiate and make laws regardless of the legislature. Agree on Court Revision Plan. The six members of the judiciary committee of the constitutional convention from Cook county have agreed on a plan of revision for the courts of the county and Chicago. By the plan judges would be elected to the district court bench. From these would be selected by the chief Justice or the chief Justices of the district, circuit and appellate courts, men who would devote their entire term to the criminal courts. This It Is thought would prevent the underworld from uniting to elect ) idges. * Seek Financial Aid. The downstate public utilities, valued at between $500,000,000 and $fi00,- 000,000, the past week appealed for financial old from the state utilities commission. They roughly estimated their needs between $50,000,000 and $80,000,000. as compared with the $100,000,000 asked a few days ago by the Chicago utilities!. A detailed and accurate estimate is to be presented to the commission on May 17, to which date the hearing was adjoined. The Chicago tearing will be «• named May 12. licosts only few cats £ Pain?

One Missionary to Eskimos Made Use of Sealskins and Another Employed Only Snow. One. of the queerest churches ever known wns f>uilt by a missionary on Blnckhead Island, In Cumberland "Round. Finding that the Eskimos had no place In which they could meet for religious services, the missionary started to build n church of (he skins of seals, no wood being available. The |skins were sewn together and stretched over "girders" of whalebone, empty provision tins serving as seats. The cold at one time became so %evere that for many days the Eskl- Nmos of Blacklead Island were unable! to procure food for themselves or forj their animals. One night dogs made] their way to the strange church edifice and began consuming it. with the result that when morning came there was not a skin left, the whalebone ribs alone remaining to show that there had ever been a church. Another missionary In charge of the spiritual welfare of the Eskimo tribe, built his church entirely of snow. Seat, pulpit, altar and Interior equipment were made of snow, and In the matter of warmth no stone-built church could beat It. >t Contents 15Thnd1 For Infants and Children.

There is no use trying to arrange them in the order of their importance in the world to-day because to de* FRANK D.

I do not hesitate to add the nam(i of Lewis Ed son Waterman and hi| invention, Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pen, to this list of world benefactorit The history of Waterman's Ideqt^. Fountain Pen has a peculiar personal interest for the people of Illinois because she can rightly claim Lewis Ed son Waterman as one of her sons. As a child, he came with his mother and younger brother and settled in Kankakee, and it was in the little old wagon shop, conducted by his brother, Elisha S. Waterman, that the first model of Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pen was turned out in wood. Back in those old days, the gold pen and rubber-turning industries were I f growing number of dealers and users in die middle west, and on Monday morning, May 10th, what will be known as the Waterman Building, at 127-129 South State Street, was opened for business. To meet the demand, the Company found it necessary to erect their own building, and 31 the property directly adjoining the d Palmer House, a modern, up-tothe- minute seven-story building will become the new Chicago home of the L. E. Waterman Company, and add glory to the best traditions of this splendid old organization. The New York service store of the L. E.

How true that is can be shown by the great located wholly in the East, requiring growth of this truly wonderful busithat the business of fountain-pen making be carried to the source of supply, and so in the smallest possible way the L. E. Waterman Company's business was established in New York. Mr. L. E. Waterman made his prinncss. From the early beginning inthe little wagon-making shop in Kankakee, and the equally insignificant work-bench at the back of a cigar store on Fulton Street, New York, where pens were made by hand--and dpal headquarters in New York up the total output then was 200 in a two in Seymour, Connecticut, and eM in Canada. Ground has been purchased in Newark, New Tersey, whereon the Company is about to build another great factory covering 500,000 square feet of operating space. In Chicago, the business was first established and carried on at a desk in the rear of the Congregational Book Store, on Wabash Avenue. After many years at that point,, a to the time of his death, while his year--to 5,000,000 Waterman's Ideals new location was found over on State brother, Elisha S.

WATERMAN throughout the world, has often been said to be one of die most artistically correct and magnificent display rooms to be found anywhere, but the architects promise to out-do even that last effort, and Chicago will have every reason to include this newest addition to its already long list of show places. With the upper floors devoted to stock and assembling rooms, the Company will be better able to handle the great volume of middlewest business, and the new Waterman Building is but another evidence of the keen judgment that anticipates conditions and makes good the. statement--satisfied customers everywhere. Mr. Frank D. Waterman, President, and Mr. Fred S. Waterman, Secretary, of the L. E. Waterman Company, though combining their unusual abilities and mastery of detail, have given evidence of what team-work can accomplish, for after all is said, a man's business is but the reflection of the man himself. The fidelity of hundreds and hundreds of employees testifies more eloquently than anything else how the personality of the Waterman boys has fixed itself upon their organization. It is what might be termed the Waterman way of doing thing*--establishing the highest standards for themselves and then living up te them. You know it is because of these qualities that success has come to them, and their product, because a record of steadily increasing sales, year after year, and in one country after the other, carries its own answer. mil
