E. ]. Lickley of the truant schools in
Los Angeles addressed a meeting of
the F'ifty-second Street Parent-Teacher
association Thursday afternoon. He
impressed his hearers with the thought
that had the boys of the truant schools
and in the detention homes had a
proper home training there would be
no need of these Institutions; but he
also told of the remarkable improve
T19anf n thnea methods the old
fashioned custom of sending boys to
Jail. He especially urged the mothers
to gain the confidence of their boys
and girls and keep it by never betray-
ing it to others and by helping them
out of their difficulties with kindness.
Most interesting was his advice for
mothers not to nag or scold the boy
and girl for their faults and little mis-
takes, for it is children who come from
homes of this sort who are the occu-
pants Of the deten lion homes and tru-
ant schools.
Following the address Mrs. ]. f. Kill
foil entertained with a reading and
Miss Fern Joiner gave a piano solo.

sloyd classes should make suitable
frames for them.

time. More playground will be neces-
sary Immediately and Mrs S. w

| pointed a committee to insure these
