Charities and Corrections.

The committee in charge of the pro-
gram of the eighth annual meeting or
the Maine State Conference OF Charl-
ties and Corrections to be held Oct. 20
and q at Bangor for the evening of
Oct. u have found it necessary to
make some changes in the list OF
speakers which have been previously
announced. Judge Harvey H. Baker of
the Boston juvenile court, being I'M
able to be present, his place on the
program will be taken by DIR. Hast
ings H. Hart of New York of the
department of Child Welfare of the
Russell Sage Foundation, and the
place on the program formerly assign
ed to DIR. Hart will be taken by Mrs.
Martha P. Falconer. superintendent of
the girls department of the Glen Mills
school at Sleighton Farms, PennsylVa-
mia. Mrs. Falconer is regarded as one
of the foremost educators and
workers in the institutional care of
girls and young women, having ma
tional reputation. She is pleasing
speaker as we'll, and those who are
present on that evening will be well
repaid for they will have an opportu-
nifty of listening to a speaker who
knows from actual experience what
she is talking about In fact, this
statement may well be said of all of
the speakers for the evening. for DR..
Harris experience is also very broad
and his reputation even greater than
that of Mrs. Falconer. Miss Gertrude
L. Mcdonald of the Industrial School
for Girls who will be the third speak
err, is equally we'll qualified, for she
knows of the conditions in Maine and
under her direction the school at Hal
lowell is taking its place among the
progressive and successful girls indus
trial schools of the United States.
