COULD NOT BROOK RIDIcULE
A Boy Sent to Whittier Because He Would Not
Go Ragged to School

OO kdXSco TO oCnoot
Luigi Colorti, little Italian boy, was
upon complaint of his mother, Josefa
Gustand Of 1872 Yale street. sent to Whit.
tier by Judge Smith yesterday morning.
as an incorrigible. The parents OF the
boy, who are of the laboring class, are
very poor.
Luigi would not go to school because
his clothes were ragged and he had
no shoes to wear. which subjected him to
the mockery of his companions in the Cas-
tear street school. His mother then be-
labored him with club. but that did no
good, as he preferred blows to ridicule.
He sold newspapers occasionally but not
enough to buy spring suit and he be-
came discouraged. The father has not
been able to secure regular work, in con-
sequence of which the family was put to
its wits ends for something to eat. Yet
although neither mother nor son had had
anything to eat all day up to noon yes
terday the woman was too proud to accept
proffered aid and refused sum OF money
which would have purchased big meal
for the whole family.
