triotic purposes he went TO a dinner given
for a suitable price-by the Daughters of

complains, was made on a basis OF be-

Chicago has a Juvenile court over which
Judge Tuthill presides. Under the law
which established the court and it's methods
Of procedure hundreds of boys who were
sent to jail a few years ago are now taken
care of by charitable organizations and in
stitutions. Recently the Chicago CONNER
cial Club and Union League Club became
interested in this work, and q large sum of
money is already pledged to establish a
rural refuge for delinquent boys. This in
stitution is necessary to make the juvenile
court law effective. The fact that under
the Juvenile court law only twenty-four
boys have been sent to jail during the two
years it has been in power, compared with
1,705 sent to prison the three years just
before its establishment, will give some
idea of the good work that law has made
possible.

The circular note which superintendent
Kendall has sent TO teachers in the eighth
grade and high schools, suggesting to those
who teach current history, civics in the
broad sense, and English to make use of
portions Of President Roosevelt's message,
is an innovation which can be heartily com
mended. In his circular Mr.. Kendall calls
special attention to the portion Of the mes
sage devoted to the assassination of the
late President Mckinley, anarchy, the re-
striction of immigration, the forestry re-
serve and like topics. He proposes to ac-
complish three objects, namely-to test the
pupils power to read, to give instruction in
civics and current history, and as an ex-
ample 'of the use of pure and forcible Eng
lish." Teachers are cautioned against dis
cussion CT controverted questions, such as
the tariff. There is so little of this in the
message that it can be made a study with
out intoxicating partisanship. There is rea-
son to believe that Mr.. Kendalrs novel sug-
gestion will be received with general favor.

would present preliminary report
during the day. Chairman Strauss

man can deny his services to a project
that means such great good for his

leaders means the cooperation of more

we progress in this work it becomes
more apparent that the chief course of
trouble in the past has arisen from
MISUNDERSTANDING. Never We're truer
words spoken than by John Mitchell
