Solving the Problem of Caring for
Children of Street.

Children of Street.
From Advance.
In the overcrowded quarters of every
large city where working people live there
are always many small children who are
allowed to run the streets without proper
oversight. In the largest cities, Ike Lon
don. Paris. and New York. they are mum
bered by thousands. With such surround
ings and under such conditions il is not
strange that a large percentage OF them
become criminals The great question with
the authorities is how 10 handle them and
prevent them, as far as possible, from be-
coming criminals.
Switzerland has solved the problem,
partly, at least. In the city of Base. for
instance. guardian Schools" organized
nd supported by the state. are open
every day. and from the middle of No
vember till the middle Of March every
evening. They can hardly be called
schools, but rather recreation classes.
Under the teachers direction the chill
dren play games, tell stories, sing, GRO
Chef. embroider. sew, &c In good
weather they are taken outdoors for
games OF walks. Each class has about
thirty-five children in it, just enough for
the teacher OF guardian TO handle com
fortably An inspector visits the classes
frequently and makes reports TO the
school authorities. The state provides
all the materials for the games and work,
and also pays for the luncheons.
Basel has population of 10000, and
last year 1900 children were taken care
of in these guardian schools. In addition
10 this work, Basel has an organization
known as the Play Association, which
looks after the games for young people.
There is also another society, now TWEEN
ty-five years old. whose special business
il is 10 give instruction to and provide
recreation for boys on Sundays and Al
the evenings. Last year it had 24.000 chill
dren under its care.
