The San Francisco call., 1906-04-02

Business Woman's Club will have some
definite action of interest TO report. The
council edition of Everywoman, Mary
Fairbrother's crisp paper. is under way,
containing some interesting information
about the international and national coun-
els and a brief history of the local coun-
ell of San Francisco.
Mrs. Mary Woods Swift, national presi-
dent, will send some notes Of the execu-
tive session of the National Council, to be
held in Toledo next. week. Copies of the
paper will be on sale at 10 cents each and
the profits of the edition are to be shared
with the council so an earnest interest
and large increase in subscription and
sale of copies is expected.
And, by the way, let every woman that
is suffering from a case of nerves the
esthetic name for self-loYe and inaction-
go to hear what Mr.. Faulkner has to say
about the little tykes he takes into his
school that the little feet may be turned
into the right paths and led little way
along the byways Of right living.
The lecture-the vital thing of the day
will be a lecture by Richard Faulkner
upon "The Parental School," to which
he stands in the position of foster-parent.
Mr.. Faulkner is the best-informed man
in town upon this topic, excepting. per-
haps, Judge Murasky. AS a matter of
fact, the work of the two is largely cor
relative and interdependent.
Go, good friends!
My word for IL, your interests will be
awakened-lest you be unconsciously dead
and will find work to do and real things
to think about. That's the only cure for
nerves"
In connection with the. Parental School
the following announcement is at hand:
Friday afternoon et 2 o'clock a COM
mittee OF men and women organized by
Mrs. Katherine Angelo of the compulsory
education committee of the California
Club met with the finance committee of
the Board of Supervisors TO discuss the
needs of the Parental School. The COM
nittee was composed of w. A. Gates, rep
resenting the State Board of Charities
Mrs. r. o. Moody, president Of the Local
Council Of Women; Mrs. Aaron Schloss,
chairman Of the civic department of the
California Club: Mrs. F. G. Athearn sec
retary of the State Federation Of
Women's Clubs, and A H. Suzzallo Of
Stanford University"
A. ]. Todd, representing Judge Murasky
upon the juvenile court subcommittee
sent to the committee letter indorsing
the action of the California Club in Pc
petitioning for funds for parental board
ing school.
Mrs Angelo stated that the Board Of
Education in preparing the budget last
year had included an appropriation of
So 600 for the erection and maintenance Of
a home for truant and wayward children;
but in the infinite wisdom of the Board
of Supervisors the item had been elm
mated.
Meanwhile the little chaps in the day
Parental School are turned adrift after
school time into the street, mayhap, and
this release from discipline works sad
havoc with the slow gains Of the day.
Their homes?"
why. bless you, more than half of
the little chaps don't know what the
blessed word means.
To them its equivalent is fighting
drinking, poverty in its vicious guise,
disorder and hunger. And as for love
and sympathy, for which every human
heart yearns, whether in the spring or
in the winter OF life-it is an unknown
thing--a thing for other people
1t is to be sincerely hoped that way
will be found to get at the building of
a Parental Home" Immediately.
The sooner it is built, the fewer Grim
inals we will have to support ten years
hence.
It's your business and everybody's
business to hustle the matter along.
Other things can wait: here are human
souls at stake. and waits are serious
things when souls are the stakes.

California will hold its regular monthly
