educational work is possible II the pres
ent law IS not disturbed
Peace and quiet obtained under an i'm
perial and autOcratic control will be
obtained at the expense OF justice and
fairness. A short duration OF such au-
tOcTaic control would probably result
in introducing more harm into the
schools Of the District OF Columbia than
could be eradicated IN many years.
That there Is no demand except upon
the part OF a very few people for any
such change in our school laws as that
proposed BY the Dolliver bill, and that
there is no necessity for Il, could, Il
Is believed, be readily established at
q hearing
So far az the committee has been able
to discover, there Is TO community In
the United States where the autOcratic
control Of public schools is vested in q
single man, or where the control OF
the schools is divorced from the voice
OF the people locally concerned. II Is
quite certain that the DOlliver bill IS
oat OF all harmony with the laws under
which the public schools OF this coun-
try are administered.

Head of Illinois Institution

MOLINE. H., Feb. s.-As a result Of

Gould, president OF the Union Malleable
Iron Company. ana president OF the
board of trustees OF the Western Hi

today by shooting himself in the mouth.
Mr.. Gould has been worrying for
weeks over conditions as revealed in
the newspapers. Itealizing his responsi-
bility as head Of the board Of trustees,
he has been handicapped by the State
politicians in securing improvements.
This has worried him to distraction.

Judge Ben Lindsey Speaks on Needs of Youth
and Evils to Which the Rising Gen.
Grafton Are Subjected.

Few more brilliant gatherings have
been seen in Washington than the as
semblage Of men and women interested
in the moral uplift OF juvenile America

ton Playground Association at Rau-
scher's last night.
Ambassador James Bryce, Of England.

Of the Denver juvenile court; Commits
siOner Henry 3. r. MacfarIand, Major
Sylvester, superintendent of Police, and
Misc Alys Bentley. supervisor Of music
in the Washington schools.
Dir. Bryce was cheered TO the echo
for hiE f0rcefuI utterances and his earn
est arpeals for fair play for the chill
dren. He painted a Flowing picture
OF his childhood spent IN the country,
and drew a pathetic contrast between
that delightful period OF his life and
the existence OF the children Of the
busy world Of today.
he declared the children have no
chance to get acquainted with nature
and develop a love for the beautiful
things OF life Here IN Washington

Major Sylvester's view.
Commissioner Il. B. F. Mcfarland
and Major Sylvester. chief Of police.
spoke from an official standpoint OF tina
crying need OF more play room for
Washington's children.
In 1895 distressing accidents in the
streets prompted my urging the setting
aside Of public space for Fairgrounds"
said Major Sylvester. "and observation
has shown since many unfortunate par
Jicipation and practices on the part Of
the boys which might have been so av-
eraged. II is unfortunate that play
grounds for al purposes cannot be had.
That the occupancy Of the streets for
childish Pastimes IS attended by Un-
fortunate results at times IS testified TO
by the accidents noted during the year
that closed December 81, when eighteen
accidents were caused by wagons ana
buggies. four by automobiles. four by
bicycles. twenty by stre5t cars, and one
~ steam railway cars, a total Of forty
seven"
Commissioners Favor Them
Commissioner Macfarland in a short
address Indicated the WILLINGNESS Of
the Cor lInissiOners 10 help the play
ground movement, and said they had
asked Congress to add II TO the munici-
pal budget.
The Commissioners adopted as ideal
tie plan suggested by the Playground
Association OF America for a play
ground within walking distance Of every
child, owned and operated by the mu-
nicipaIity as part Of the public educa-
ton Thus far, besides maintaining
public school Fairgrounds and general
Fairgrounds. we have secured an ap-
preparation Of So, COO for the purchase
OF sites and are asking ZOO for the
purchase OF additional sites.
We feel that the prospect OF the
movement in Washington
is bright with promise, and that We are
slowly but steadily approaching the
ideal OF our hope"

Contrasts Conditions.
The ambassador elaborated upon the
contrast between the olden days when
every child communed with nature and
conditions OF today with an aggregation
In the cities of an ever increasing Por-
ton OF the populat ton.
But even ID the noisy, dusty city
ne continued. There may be a little
oasis, enough 10 show that nature is
not wholly eXpunged from the daily
round Of life. In England we have
within quarter OF mile from every
house some spot where the children may
play. at least half an acre in area But
this ia too little. In a city like Washing
ton, where many plots Of ground remain
unbuilt. IL should be possible 10 hay g
larger Fairgrounds. You can do nothing
better for the children than help to re-
store in such measure as is pOss' pic, op-
portuniiies for enjoying open air and
play and contact with nature which
our ancestors enjoyed and By which
the character Of the race was formed"

Judge Lindsey Speaks.

Judge Ben B. Lindsey. OF Denver.
founder Of the juvenile court movement
which has spread all over the country.
delivered a convincing argument on the
Relation OF Public Fairgrounds 70 Ju-
Venile Delinquency"
In dealing with the problem Of crims
IN youth, We shall make progress fust
IN proportion as we appreciate the ab-
surdity Of limiting our remedies TO
the court, the hangman and the taller.
Il is no longer questioned that the best
method Of hghting crime is 10 begin
where crime begins,1and that We must
look fer relief where measures are pre-
ventive rather than punitive"
Judge Lindsey cited a number OF in
stances in his personal experience where
IN boys had taken the first step toward
being criminal because Of the lack
Of place to play and indulge in legit-
innate recreation. He paid a tribute 10
President Roosevelt as having per-
formed snO greater service for his coun-
Try than his constant reiteration Of the
importance Of the greater problems that
concern the nome and child.
