Institutions and Homes.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
l object to any institution as a
home for children on the grounds
that IT takes away their freedom
to live as do other children. They
become a collective whole. not an
Individual. They are denied the
privilege of the public school and
contact with the outside world.
They can form no friendships with
those outside their own class while
they remain in the institution. That
the children cannot receive mother
care. and do not get it. That love,
the most important thing in the
child's life. is not taken into. ac-
count at all.
do not think II right that the
officers and matrons in an institu-
table, while the children are placed
at one covered with white oilcloth,
and laid with thick dishes that
make a table look anything but
attractive
1t is not this way In a home. and
il the institution is to take the
place of a home and go 1t one bet
ter. some radical changes will have
to take place.
When I said the public only had
one side of the story, ! meant IL, but
am wondering IL perhaps before
they get through with this, IL the
other side will perhaps be made
known. That there is a Eood bit
on both sides that hasn't been made
known yet, l feel sure.
There is one thing that I can't
understand. Why is it that only
the excuse of poverty as the reason
these children are taken from their
mothers is made known to the
public Surely those who are in
this AFFAIR know that is not the only
reason.
There are some children who are
secreted from their parents. but
there is always a reason for it, and
II the public knew these reasons
perhaps they would not be so quick
to condemn.
AS to the boards responsibility,
I know nothing about that, but as
the court Is the one that tries these
cases. and commits the children to
the Board of Guardians. then 1t is
the Juvenile Court which should
take over the bosship Of the Board
of Guardians. Just a word to the
public and the mothers of these
children, those who are ask ing that

5OO-YEAR LEASE
OF CROSBY HALL
British Federation of University Women
Planning Unusual Education Pro-
jeet i'm Historic Structure.

LONDON. Dec 29.-An unusual edu-
cation project is being forwarded by the
British Federation of University Women.
1t contemplates taking 500-year lease
on Crosby hall, a 10Th century structure
on Chelsea embankment, for use as a
residence for foreign women graduate
students.
Besides being considered one of the
best architectural models of its period,
Crosby hall is Immortality famous for the
many historic events with which its
name is associated. 1t was originally
built in Bishops Gate in LAG as the
great banquet hall and city residence of
that wealthy and popular knight, Sir
John Crosby, one of the merchant princes
of his time. After Sir Johns death the
hall became the residence of Richard
Gloucester, who was afterwards Richard
III.
The hall was later purchased by Sir
Thomas More. who occupied it for sew
eral years, entertaining Henry VIII and
other noted visitors.
At the beginning of the present cen
fury, owing to congestion in the city.
the building was torn down and removed
piece by piece to Chelsea embankment
where it was reconstructed and used
during the war for housing Belgian refu-
gees.
