BOYS CLUBS AN AID

"ScOuts Own School" Provides

LONDON. May 5.-During the war the
increase in Juvenile offences was the
cause of many heart searchinss of the
welfare workers Of the country. They
attempted many solutions of the Diff

Two experiments that have been tried
recently have pointed the moral Of their
many failures ...'.
The Rev. F. II. Dillingham;. the IA
nous cricketer, has solved part of the
problems by transferring the government
Of the boys to themselves. AT the same
time he has discovered the bridge be-
tween the Sunday school and the
church.
He instituted what is known locally
in Bermondsey as S. o. Scouts Own
School. The boys meet early on Sun
days In the playground of one Of the
elementary schools and play games I'M

Football and cricket are provided and
the children are allowed to play until
the last moment Immediately the
whistle blows they fall into companies
and each class under It's own elected
patrol leader marches into its own set
class room, where they hold their own
classes In their own way. After class
the whole brigade meets for n closing
hymn and prayers and then disperses.
The experiment Is proving a great sue
cess.
