FREE LAND LOST
BY DELAY Of
D. {.

The land offered to the Dis
trict, free of charge, for use
as a site for training school
for white offenders, has been
lost.
The offer of the land originally
expired on Thursday, June Is, but
wa sextended in order to allow the
Board of Public Welfare to inspect
the property and place the offer un
der discussion.
The inspection was made and the
board recomIpended that the offer
be accepted and the District Com
misioners voted to accept 1t, only 70
find that while the Welfare Board
and themselves we're talking the
matter over the Lutheran inter.
Mission Society of Baltimore stepped
in and accepted the property, they
learned on June 1S from Charles e.
Abraham treasurer of the Founda'
ton.
Part Of Estate
The land was held by the George
Junior Foundation and was part
of the old Newbold Farm. Upon the
accidental death Of George .Newbold,
his father turned the land over to a
foundation to be used for the better
ment of boys who needed chance.
The land was offered the District,
which is urgently in need OF cor
rectional vocational school where
young first offenders may be sent
and taught useful trades.
One of the main ideas behind the
proposed school is that it will offer
haven for the youngsters who
otherwise would be thrown in with
seasoned veterans of Juvenile courts
and reform schools.
Turned Down Before
Five years ago the same board
turned down an offer for the land,
because the board felt it was too
far from the District. and because
certain members of the board saw
no need for additional penal insti-
tutions.
Judge Katherine Sellers. of the
Juvenile Court, was particularly
anxious that the District obtain the
land and put a school on it.
The judge has long telt the need of
such an institution and has furthered
it's cause at all times.
