The concluding session of the congress
was conference on "Child-saving Work. =
IL was opened by Mrs. Frederick Schoff. OF
Philadelphia, who said in part: Railroads
are more or less responsible for crime
among the juveniles of the large cities. Coal
cars are allowed TO remain uncovered or
unguarded In the freight yards, and thus
children are tempted 10 steal coal.
"A law should be created prohibiting junk
dealers from trafficking with juveniles. and
no child should be allowed to deal with
pawnbrokers- 1t should be our endeavor TO
do away with the temptation that results In
crime"
Mrs. s. w. Hefferan, president of the Illi-
nois Congress OF Mothers, discussed the CO.
operation of the home and the school She
said the reason for overstudy in the major
ity of schols was because heavy work
was demanded by the parents.
DR.: David Inglis. of Detroit. talked on
"Childrens Nerves. He condemned the
home training where the child was contin-
ually subjected to scolding. Many a child,
he said. has been made a nervous wreck by
this practice.
