convinced that the only way to help
and protect their children is to pay
some attention to their children's en-
vironment and associates. All over
the city the members of the P. T. A.
have improved the school buildings
in a most praiseworthy effort to i'm
prove the school environment of the
children of Washington, but how
many parents have given any heed
to the work done by the Juvenile
Court toward improving the incor-
rigible and delinquent children of our
city? We cannot build a wall around
our children, they must associate and
compete with others of their gener-
alton. So the truest form of child
welfare work Is to help those who
need 1t morally as well as physically.
Let the parents of Washington visit
the Juvenile Court and see the Won
derful manner in which Judge Sellers
handles the many cases brought be-
fore her, though all suffering human
ity has her sympathy, it does not
prevent her from rendering justice
In It's truest form. Those. who are
guilty are punished and the innocent
are proclaimed such.

Sellers.
The District Congress of Mothers
and Parent-Teacher Association gave
a dinner to the children of the "A
Typical" schools In the northeast
southeast and Congress Heights De-
cember 81. A regular Christmas din
ner was served and each child was
given candy, fruit and toys. Mr.
Haycock, assistant superintendent OF
schools; Mr.. Patterson, supervisor OF
special schools; Miss Hendley. super
vfsing principal of the sixth division;
Mrs. Ballou and the teachers Of the
three schools were invited guests
Mrs. g. 8. Rafter was presented with
a wrist watch from the members OF
the District Congress of Mothers and
ParentTeacher Association. the pres
entation speech being made by Mr.
Haycock.
At the last meeting of the Peabody
Hilton Parent-Teacher Association a
resolution was passed urging better
pay for school janitors. The duties
of the public school janitor are most
important and the extremely small
salaries paid to the men who perform
these important services prevents the
employment Of the best. Many Of
our janitors are first-class engineers
and the cleanliness of the entire
building depends upon them. ut is
hoped that other parent-teacher as
sociations will follow the lead of the
Peabody Hilton association.
