for trustee served in that capacity Tor

The older men-those who send all the

urally most interested in the matter
are not pleased at this way OF taking the
matter out of their hands. and think i
strange that the so-called Islander

suti1cient to call for summary punishment

REDLANDS, June lO.-For the past

What Shall WeDo With the Bows?

PASADENA, June 10.-At the Univer-

what to do with the boys was discussed.
Dr.. e. L. Conger made the first address,

boys of the community. He spoke of
the bad results attained in sending boys
to prison and allowing them to associ-
ate with older criminals. After once
losing their self-respect in this manner
they were liable to repeat their crimes.
The doctor claimed that the best remedy
would be to set to work to keep them
busy in some way. He suggested that a
fund be raised to aid in the work OF send
ing them to school.
Miss +. c. Bishop referred to the very
necessary duty of acting as well as talk
Ing in the matter. DR.. Rachel Reid
stated that there were boys who were in
corrIgible and could not be sent to school.
She thought plan of keeping the dis
tnrbers in solitary confinement for a

be devised to control these young law
breakers.
