CUSTOM CONDEMNED
CITIZENS ASSOCIATION ALLEGES
CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.
Rule Enforced by Teachers in Schools
to Be Brought to Attention
of Authorities.

1t was developed at a meeting of the
North Capitol and lexington Citizens As
sociation last evening, on the testimony of
eight members of the association, that a
custom has grown up in the lexington
by OBTAINING them after the school has
been dismissed because they have found it
necessary during the day to leave the room.
In many cases it was shown that teachers
had refused to let the children leave the
school room for urgent reasons but even
when they were allowed to go their act
has been regarded as reprehensible, and in
each instance was punished at the end of
the day. For these reasons, 1t is declared
a number of cases of illness have occurred,
and the punishment inflicted is stated to
have been very detrimental to the chill
dren's physical condition.
Eight members of the association told OF
the personal experiences of their own lit
tie children because of this practice in the
schools. DR. E. D. Thompson, chairman of
the committee public health. declared
that this experience of small children was
apt to injure their health in a way that
would prove to be very grave, and the
knowledge of this practice in the schools,
i'll children that could be accounted for in
no other way. Members of the association
showed considerable indignation over what
was termed the incomprehensible stupidity
of teachers in Subjecting children to what
practically amounted to torture, and which
has already resulted in a number OF cases
of illness The matter was referred to
the committee on schools, of which Mr. A. r.
Serven is chairman, and the committee on
public health, Dr. E. D. Thompson chair
man. They were instructed to bring the
matter to the attention Of the school au-
thOrities.

The meeting was called to order last night
by Mr.. Washington Topham, vice president;
Mr.. A. o. Tingley, the secretary, keeping
the minutes. Mr.. A. ]. Arnold was elected
a member of the association.
Mr.. w. ]. Hughes made report on the
street railway bill that has been framed by
representatives of various citizens asso-
Citations and has been submitted to the DIS
trict Commissioners.
There is good reason to believe said
Mr.. Hughes, that the Commissioners will
favor the project.
He expected, he said, that report would
soon be made on the bill by the Commis-
sioners supplementary to a report on
similar bill. Attention was called to the
need of a new engine for the engine com
pany on North Capitol and Quincy streets
and the committee on fire protection was
requested to ask for new engine. The old
engine was declared to be about twenty

lection in lexington and vicinity.

Civic Center on compulsory education, show
ing that between 5000 and 5000 children
between eight and fourteen years OF age
N the District of Columbia are denied a
public school education because Of lack
of facilities. There is a compulsory
educational act IN the District, but
owing to the fact that the schools
have not the necessary facilities for
caring for all the children, it is i'm
possible to enforce 1t. The attendance
in the schools of very young children was
also referred to, and attention was called
to the fact that there are three children
each eight years old, who are in the f1fth
grade. The school committee was instruct
ed to look into this matter with view or
determining whether 1t should not advocate
some restriction in the case of very young
children attending school, and whether the
minimum age should not be six or seven
years instead of five years. The danger to
the health Of children attending school at
too early an age was referred to-
former complaint that ash carts going
through the section of the city represent
ed by the association are uncovered and
scatter dust broadcast was referred to by
Dr. Thompson with the statement that the
regulations governing the collection or
ashes require every cart to be covered with
a tarpaulin, and members Of the association
who experience inconvenience from a ne
glect to obey that regulation were request
ed to make a prompt report of any further
violations, with the assurance that the diff

WANT TO PLAY MATCH GAME.

Valley City Times-Record: The
ladies basket ball team has received a
challenge from the ladies of Bismarck
to play a game in the latter city, and
will no doubt accept. &
IN the case of playing with the Bis
marck ladies it will probably not be
necessary to stipulate in advance that
London prize ring and rough and
tumble tactics be barred from the
game. It is understood that they
play the game according to the writ
ten rules, and consequently a repetition
of the disgraceful affair at Jamestown
is not to be anticipated.
