of the fraternity who is hailed asi
the father et Sunday schools, Ro,'hert
Ratites, whose memory is being par-
ticularly called to mind this week by
the international gathering of Su i -
day school wr•rkers, was a journalist.
His father was the founder of the
Gloucester Journal, which was estab
lished asore than 200 years ago, and
through his lifetime Raikes earned his
living as an editor. There are con-
flicting accounts of how he got the
idea, that was to make his name im-
mortal. One story is that he used
to read the proofs of his paper on
Sundays and was annoyed by the
cries and gazes of little urchins who
roamed the &treets. But he undoubt-
edly was a man with a heart natural-
ly attuned to the sufferings of others
for he and his father before him had
interested themselves in the wretched
prisoners in Gloucester jails and had
done much to alleviate their lot. This
was in the days when Howard was
beginning to be heard of through his
efforts for prison reform, and Robert
Raikes' work for the Gloucester pris-
oners won the warm approval of
Howard.
July, 1780, is the date accepted as
that on which the first Raikes Sunday
school was opened. It is true that
other people before him had the idea
of Sunday schools and it seems cer-
tain that Rey. Thomas Stock, the cur-
ate of a neighboring parish, had one
in existence before Raikes devoted
himself to the movement. The two
men worked in harmony for some
years, and as news of their activities
spread it was learned that others had
been similarly 'interested in the chil-
dren who were idle on Sundays and
ignorant for the rest of the week.
r or it is important to understand
that the original Sunday schools were
not merely part of the system of re-
ligious instruction. It was an acci-
dent that most of them were simply
intended to be schools which were op-
en on Sundays. For the rest of the
week the children who were old en-
ough—and few of them were not old
enough—'were at work. There wre
no laws then against the exploitation
of child labor. and there were no laws
regulating hours of work. There were
no laws making attendance at school
compulsory. The children of England
except those born of well-to-do par-
ents, were permitted to grow up like
young savages. It was upon this scene
that the energy and philanthropy/. of
Robert Raikes were precipitated.
iHe did not meet with the opposi-
tion and ridicule which might have
greeted him had he been trying to
introduce a new form of religious wor-
ship or a new religious sect. His work
was extremely practical, The chil-
dren were taken out of a vicious idle-
ness and set to learn the ru liments
of an education. They brought bene-
volent people into contact with the
parents, and six years after the first
school was opened no fewer than
200,000 children were being taught
in different parts of England. The
scheme from the first had the cordial
support of the church and gradually
the secular character of tee first
schools were lost and they became
places where young Christians were
produced instead of places where
young Englishmen were instructed.
John Wesley in his journals reported
that the schools were growing up
everywhere and he recommender) them
to his followers.
Adam Smith, the economist, said
that in his opinion no plan so simple
and yet so effective for the improve-
ment of manners had been devised
since the days of the Apostles. Seven
years after he had opined the first
school Raikes had the honor of an
interview with Queen Charlotte, who
endorsed his scheme and was the
Means of having others found schools.
Hannah till/lore being one of them. Miss
Burney visited Raikes and reported
that she found him rather "vain and
voluble" but a "very principal man."
In all the benevolent institutions of
Gloucester. In 1893, a Sunday school
Union was founded. The first teach-
ers were generally paid but in 1810
difficulties arose aboift their mainten-
ance and thereafter young men, and
later young women, volunteered to
teach without recompense, a practice
which has been followed ever since.
When s died in1811 hadthe
e he
satisfaction of knowing that his plan
was spreading throughout the world.
In his lifetime he did not set up
any claim to being the father of the
movement, and felt that his chief
L AR;N TO SWI M
Nlelgt' tmr automobile accidents, more
fietali,thei have occurred in recent
• ` weehsi, " tbrouigh drowning, than by
any other cause. And the bathing
. season is only opening.
Youngsters don't have to walk a
couple of miles to reach a swimming
hole nowadays. Most towns have a
swierrming pool and many schools a
bathing tank, where instruction is
freer.
And if these facilities are not avail-
able, the car always is, to take the
children to the lake shore or some
other bathing place. And still it is
surprising how many boys and girls
there are who can not swim.
And it is still more surprising to
see people who can not swim going
into rivers and lakes where it is posi-
tively not safe for them to be unless
they can swim.
But they are doing it every day.
Taking a chance no sane person would
take. Some get away with it, but
same do not, and then one snore death
by drowning is recorded.
If no community pools and instruc-
tors are available, there are so many
lake beaches which are as safe and
fool proof as they could possibly be
made, that no young person has any
reasonable excuse for not learning to
swim.
And if parents are wise they will
not only see that their children are
given the opportunity to learn to
swim, but insist that they do learn.
It is not a hard art to acquire and
once acquired it is never forgotten.
THE CAUSE OF THE
TROUBLE
The Toronto Star says that half the
pessimism abroad in the land to -day is
caused, not by the fall in stocks, hu
by the decline in the merit of straw -
beery shortcake right in the i,ud'st of
the berry season.
There might besomething in that
statement too. Not only is there a
decline in the merits of the straw-
berry shortcakes one meets with now-
adays, but there is a sad decline in the
number of s''h rtcakes made.
The women of to -day do not make
the kind' of strawberry shortcakes
their mothers used to make. In fact
a great many of them don't make one
of any kind.
And as with strawberry shortcake
so is it with a great many cf the
standard dainties that used to be
cooked in the home. Perhaps it is
the rush of the present day mode of
living that does not permit of tim
kieirg given to these things, or per-
haps present day women are not as
fond of work as their mothers used
to be.
At any rate home made conking is
pretty much a lost art. The bread,
the cakes and the pies come from the
confectionery stores now; the ve'ge•t-
allelels come out of cans d the jams,
the preserves and t e pickles are
bought in jars at the grocers.
Feeding the family out of tins and
jars is not accomplished as cheaply
as the old method, but it saves a lot
of time, and time is a big object these
days. If some of the old time mothers
could step down to earth for a day
or two. to see how household work is
done to -day, no doubt they would be
driven to wonder as to just what mod-
ern women do with their time Buu
after all women seem to he just as
busy to -day as they were yesterday.
If the lack of good strawberry
shortcakes in the berry season is re-
sponsible for the dark outlook of so
many people. what evils must follow
in the wake of the tinned goods on
which the family feeds to -day.
One hears so much about the rest-
lessness and roaming of youth. Chil-
dren do not have to summon €n ap-
petite, it is with them every hcuir of
the day. There used to be so many
appetising odors about the o6; time
home that there was some inducement
for the children to stick around. They
might miss a fresh batch of cookies
when it came out of the oven ,if they
didn't; or a pie or a cake, or some-
thing else equally as desirable An-
ticipation was with them all the day.
The home was a mecca, and a most
desirable one,
That is something the present day
boy and girl misses. There is no
tantalizing and appetising odor comes
out of a tin can. But there is a lot
of indigestion packed in those same
tin cans, and while children have no
stomachs in which indigestion can
lodge, their elders certainly have and
indigestion is one of the very founda-
tion stones of pessimism,
In fact we are a little inclined to
agree with the Star. It is quite pos-
sible that the present family table
may be the cause' of some of the un-
rest and eertninly meth of the pes-
simism through which many people
viter the World and its doings to -day.

the wants if the day. But if he was
indeed a vain man the post-mortem
honors paid him would surely have
suggested to him, that he did r,ot set
too high a value upon his own merits.
In 1e80 at the time of the centenary
celebration in Gloucester, the model
of a statue to him was unveiled but
the statue itself has never been com-
pleted. Mention of Raikes and his
work is to be found in many diaries
of the period, but it remained for a
writer in the Twentieth Century to
give an unforgettable picture of the
Sunday school celebrations in Eng-
land. It is to be found in Arnold
Bennett's "Clayhanger," with the
masterly sketch of Shushions, the
first Sunday school teacher in the
Five Towns, Robert Raikes' nephew,
Thomas, had perhaps a greater fame
in his own day than his uncle, for he
was one of the noted dandies and club
men of his time. When Robert died
every child at the' funeral was given
a shilling and a plum cake, and thus
were the merits of Sunday schools
fastened in the mind's of a generation
known by the writers of the period as
the "white slaves" of England.
