GUARDIAN SCHOOLS

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, like Lon.
don, Paris and New York, they are mum.
bered by thousands. With such surround.
ings and under such conditions it is not
strange that large percentage of them
become criminals. The great question with
the authorities is how to handle them and
prevent them, as far as possible, from be-
coming criminals. Switzerland has solved
the problem, partly st least. In the city
of Basel, for instance, guardian schools, "
organized and supported by the State, are
open every day, and from the middle Of
November till the middle Of March, every
evening. They can hardly be called
schools, but rather recreation classes.
Under the teaeher's direction the chill
dFen play games, tell stories, sing, crochet,
embroider, sew and so forth. In good
weather they are taken outdoors for games
or walks, Each class has about 50 chill
dren in it, just enough for the teacher
or guardian to handle comfortably. Amin.
spector visits the classes frequently and
makes reports to the school authorities,
The State provides sbe materials for
the games and work, and also pays for the
luneheons, Basel has population Of ISO..
900, and last year 1000 children, were
taken care Of in these guardian schools.
In addition to this work Basel has an
organisation known as the play Associa.
tion," which looks after games for young |
people. There is also another society, now
25 years old, whose special business ii is
