WOULDPUT TRUANT
BLAME ON PARENTS
Chamber Of Commerce Speaker
Says They Should Bear De-
linquency Punishment.

The delinquent child. and not the
delinquent parent, is made the chief
offender Snd the chief sufferer under
the compulsory education feature, OF
the Curtis-Gard child labor bill,
Charles w. Clagett. representing the
Chamber Of Commerce, told the Sen
ate District subcommittee today.
The penalty for violation should
be placed on the parent" said Mr..
Clagett. "He is the instigator OF
whatever crime Is committed. except
In cases OF habitual truancy or in
corrigibility."
A child can be "seized" by the
Board OF Children's Guardians, and
his parents stripped OF all control
over him for comparatively minor in
fractions OF the law. under the pro-
visions of the bill. Mr.. Clagett stated.
He said some provision should be
made for a real probationary test. or
for a rehearing after given period.
Hurts Manual Training.
He added that the measure, in GER
tain cases, would compel children to
remain at school until they were six
teen years of age. Boys whose urgent
need was for manual training would
have their vital education thwarted
by this compulsory completion OF an
academic course.
Mr.. Clagett also stressed the fact
that children who work in factories
or business establishments in Wash
ington do not meet the demoraliZing
conditions Of the typical American
Industrial city
In reply to Mr.. Clagett Mrs. Flor
ence Kelley, representing the Ma
tional Consumers League, stated
that the Curtis-Gard bill made school
attendance compulsory up to the
eighth grade, and that she did not
think any children should be forced
to remain in school until they had
completed year or more of high
school work.
Denies Gift OF Power.
Miss Pauline Goldmark. general
secretary of the District Consumers
League, denied that the proposed
bill would force a child under the
control of the Board of Children's
Guardians, except in gases where all
other measures had failed. She
stated her belief that the bill did not
confer more power in this regard
than is already conferred by existing
statutes.
The Senate subcommittee has con-
cluded its hearings on the bill, and
expects to make an early report to
the Senate, according to Senator
Jones of Washington, chairman OF
the subcommittee

Showing kaiser's Vlciousness.

The Germans, in setting fire to the
Louvain library, totally destroyed not
only the printed books numbering
from 100000 to 100000 volumes and
nearly 1000 manuscripts which the
library contained. but also the famous
university halls, thus destroying In
three days that which had taken five
centuries to build up. Only once be
fore in History has such a disaster
been inflicted upon the world, when

kaiser, destroyed the library of Alex

If Hindenburg and Ludendortf are
guilty of oirenses against humanity
they. and not some Of their under

be a farce to let them go and to
convict their subordinates; and IT

sition to arouse public clamor in
their behalf. BY all means let linden

The battle between landlords and
tenants In the United States assumes
almost equal interest with strikes,
politics, national and international
problems. In New York recently en-
acted anti-rent-proiteering legislation,
received its first tests with results
wholly favorable to tenants. In every
case tried evIctionS were defeated and
tenants were granted stay-Overs Of
from one to three months when they
proved their inability to find new
homes. In Chicago and many other
cities tenants are organizing leagues
to resist what they consider unduly
increased rents. Many court battles
are impending and in some cases arbi-
tratinn has been invoked successfully,
resulting in some compromises and
some material reductions. Real estate
boards have acted effectively in some
instances in settling controversies and
the problem is receiving wide atten-
ton from municipal authorities and
financiers. Loan corporations with
large capital have been formed In a
number of cities to promote building
and help end the housing shortage. In
spite of all remedial measures and all
the oil being poured upon the troubled
waters. landlords and tenants are look
ing toward May ! and other moving
days, with misgiving.
