NIGHT POLICE COURTS

The barbaric cruelty in prevailing
conditions at the city prison is not new
only enhanced by the few days of
torrid weather; yet men of all social
grades unite in condemning these con-
ditions and in demanding their better
ment.
The usual roundup of drunken and
vagrant humanity grows in volume as
does the population of the city, and
calls for attention as forcefully as any
other civic need can. When callous-
hearted detectives and jailers express
pity for unfortunate prisoners it is
high time that those charged with
municipal supervision should busy
themselves to apply a remedy.
In New York city, so glazing and
insistent was a similar state of affairs,
the people demanded of the police mag
in the evenings as we'll as mornings,
and so sift out the scores whose cases
were open to ready adjudication and
keep the number of prisoners down to
the normal mark.
Such plan would work well in Los
Angeles, and aside from the relief
given to unfortunate men and women
thereby, it would save the victim of
malice or official persecution from a
night of misery in the filthy tanks.
There is No. 1 halo awaiting the
city father who shall arise and lift up
his voice for this very sensible and
simple solution of the crowded Jail diff
ficulty. If he shall encounter opposi-
ton from the police magistrates it will
be speedily overcome. T ted and sue
cessful in New York, it cannot fail
here.

RICH THIEF AND POOR THIEF

Eugene Schmitz, passionately resent
ing a deserved rebuke at the hands of
Judge Dunno, who presided at his trial,
and seeking to shelter his criminal
record from publicity. differs, from the
convicted petty larceny thief only in
degree. Both transgressed the law,
and both hoped to evade it's punish
ment.
In writing impressions of men and
things as found in this country, the
educated foreigner expresses wonder
at the constantly recurring lack of
among us. In his home country law
is memorable, and it's mandates swift
and certain of execution. 1t was
framed by the dominant forces, for the
general good, and no man might hope
to transgress it's provisions and evade
the consequences. Respect for law was
bred in the blood of him, through gen.
erations of suffering endured by his
progenitors, when might was right, and
feudal power ruled all peoples.
With the citizens of this country
especially those of alien birth or pa
rentage-inequality before the law has
tended, largely, to disrespect for it's
commands, and what was meant for
safeguard and refuge is, through ras-
cality, made to be the enginery of
oppression, and a cloak for trans
gressors. So widespread and common
is this baneful condition that the swift
trial, conviction and sentence of high
official challenges the establishment of
the people, and gives rise to the hope
that renaissance of law is pending
and the day of the respectable thief
gone forever.
If this happy contamination shall be
reached it will but re-emphasize the
old truth that transgression of law is
odious and criminal in men of high
or low estate, and that the grafters of
millions is thief in kind, just as is the
petty larceny yagrapt, and as such
shall be ostracized.
The melodramatic buffoonery of the
disgraced mayor of San Francisco in
seeking to divert the nerited scorn of
indicated law should be an eloquent
and potent force for civic righteous
ness, for, like unto the cry of a lost
soul, it measured future as hopeless
as hell is said to be. 1t was inevitable.

UTILITYSYSTEMS CONTRASTED

The municipal telephone idea seems
alluring to many people who worry
over their hello" troubles. The idea
is not so alluring, however, to persons
| who have made careful investigation
of public ownership telephone systems
in Europe.
AS the result of such investigation
an American observer, just returned
from Europe, summarizes his conclu-
sions thus: ut is my opinion, based
upon a study at first hama, that the
state-owned telephone systems of Eu-
rope, compared with the telephone sys-
TENS of this country, both as regards
development and. from a financial and
service standpoint, are wofully def
cient."
The lack of personal interest in the
management of public telephones
abroad is feature most noticeable to
persons acquainted with conditions of
the service in the United States. En-
ployes generally are indolent, indiffer-
ent and apparently relying for the
safety of their positions on the civil
service system. The writer quoted
above says that "in London, for exam
pie, it is a common occurrence for
months to elapse between the date of
an order and the installing of the tele-
phone"
Much is said about the cheapness of
telephone service in Europe, as COM
pared with rates in the United States,
but there are qualifying considerations
that count as offsets. In Germany, for
instance, there are two stated periods
during the year in which telephones
are installed. If a person desires the
service installed at any time between
those periods a special charge is made.
And in all cases intending subscribers
must first obtain written permission
from their landlords
There is a marked contrast between
the conditions surrounding operators
in Europe and the United States. The
salaries paid by the state-owned tele-
phone service abroad are small COM
pared with salaries paid by the Ameri-
can telephone companies. Even in
Paris the contrast is striking to the
American observer. The writer quoted
before says: "There the switchboard
was in an extremely dirty condition,
and the switch room evidently had not
been cleaned for days; no retiring or
lunch rooms were provided for the
operators, who apparently were doing
just as they pleased, the answering of
calls being quite a secondary consid-
Grafton"
The cause of the inferior telephone
service abroad under the system of
government control is summed up
thus: 81 attribute this difference to
the fact that whereas in America the
operators position and advancement
depend upon her ability, in Europe the
operators, being a part of the civil
service, cannot be discharged, and hav-
ing a position for life, have no further
incentive and rapidly absorb the we'll
known inertia of that department"

STUDY OF CHILD
MOST IMPORTANT.

Adaptation of Subject to Object Is
Now Considered One of the
Greatest Factors in
Education

The results of twenty-five years of Or
ganized child study in America as re-
lated to educational theory and practice
were outlined yesterday afternoon at the
session of the child study department of
the National Educational association in
the First Methodist church, Sixth and Hill
streets. Ella F'lagg Young, principal of
the Chicago Normal school, Chicago, ILL.,,
as applied to "The Kindergarten and the
Elementary Grades" and Manfred j..
Holmes, professor Of psychology, state
normal university Normal, Ill, was to
but both were absent. Prof. F. B. Dress
lar, University of California, gave several
original and interesting ideas. in his talk
on the experiences as applied to the
grammar grades.
Mr. Dresslar said in part:
1.-THE first and most important result
has been to convince the teachers in a
new and decisive way that schools are or
ganized solely for the sake of helping
Children. 1t has brought a new kind of
interest into the average teachers daily
work that tends to lift teaching into a
profession.
"Studies on the physical growth of
children have led us to see that the girls
in the upper grammar grades are nearly

we measure them by girl standards. Men

Comments and SUGGESTIONS

Margaret 2: Schallenberger of the state
normal school San Jose, Cal, gave a dis
cussion of Mr.. Dresslars paper, and she
said in part:
1T is not as important to teach subjects
as to teach the child. Never before have
the people at large shown so much in
terest In the child life, and organized
child study is the result. We should be
more careful as to the result or reaction
of the punishment that we are giving the
child
Personal dislike of the so called bad
child has given place to interested study
Personal liberty and responsibility are
beneficial to the child, and coeducation
furthers good behavior. What a child
reads has a great effect on him. No
teacher should try to influence the char
acter of a child unless she knows his
home environment
A paper on "Child Study as Applied to
the High School, was to have been read
by A. H. Yoder, superintendent of schools,
Tacoma, Wash, but he was not present.
nor was E. o. Sisson, professor in the
University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.
who was to have led the discussion of the
paper.

Local Result of Child Study

"The Child Study Movement in Los An
geles" was the subject of an interesting
address by George l.. Leslie, director of
the science department, city schools, Los
Angeles. He said in part:
1.-The system of self government in Los
Angeles has been an absolute success.
There is not enough attention paid to the
physical condition of defective pupils.
The results of health examinations of
girls show that rs per cent of them are
defective in eyesight and 80 per cent de-
fective in hearing. Unless the school can
in some way accommodate itself to the
the girls to the schools, the school be-
comes an agency of degeneracy.
wherever there is organized play in
our school curriculum there is a better
development of the pupils"

cation of Clark university, Worcester,
