PASADENA. Nov 21.--After serving
as president of the organization for six
consecutive years, ever since IL was
founded. Mrs. Mary M. Conan, at the
sixth annual meeting of the Pasadena
Federation of Child Study Circles, re-
signed this afternoon to the regret OF
ali The meeting was held In the high
school assembly hall and over a hun
dred delegates, representing all of the
. numerous Child Study circles of the
Crown City, were present.
Mrs Coman's retirement came just
before adjournment, when the annual
election of officers was held, and there
was not woman present who did not
regret that the popular matron felt that
her numerous other duties required her
withdrawal. Mrs. A. l.. Hamilton, wife
of the assistant superintendent of
schools for the Pasadena district, was
chosen president in place of Mrs. Co
man.
The federation did not elect vice
president but left the filling of that
office to the newly elected president
Mrs. Theophle Colville, wife of we'll
known Los Angeles newspaper man,
was elected secretary and Mrs Henry
Waterman was chosen treasurer. All
elections were unanimous.
Two remarkably interesting and i'm
portant papers were read before the
federation during the afternoon. One
was by DR.. George e. Abbott, who had
for his subject Contagious and Infec-
tious Diseases" DR.. Abbott explained
to the mothers and teachers present
the difference between the two terms
and also told something of the various
so-called Catching diseases, especially
as they refer to childhood.
The second paper was by Miss Jessie
Allen, young woman barely 25 years
of age and yet entitled to attach to her
name to the honorary title Phi. d. Miss
Allen is of the Los Angeles normal
school and her paper was on 1.-The Men
tai Development Of Children"
Miss Allen has made this subject a
matter of much study and in a pithy
manner told the Pasadena mothers of
the results of her Investigations.

SANTA MONICA
Special to The Herald.

Special TO The Herald
SANTA MONICA. Nov. 21.-"Humor
and Pathos of the Juvenile Court" was
the subject of a lecture delivered this
afternoon before a large audience OF
mothers by Judge Curtis Wilbur Of the
Los Angeles juvenile court at the regu-
lar meeting Of the Washington School
Child Study Circle. Judge Wilbur told
lof many instances OF youthful de-
'pravity, and said the cause could nearly
always be traced to a neglect Of paren-
tai influence over the child. He told
OF having had to pass sentence on
young girls who were ruined in body
and soul and who he declared traced
their downfall to improper training, al
though in many instances they had
been brought up in families Of excellent
character and Christian tendencies.
Judge Wilbur complmented the circle on
having taken up the question of child
study, and said more such organiza-
tions would help largely toward de-
creasing the number of youthful
criminals.
