HOME TRAINING OF CHILD
STRESSED BY DR.. BOWEN
Prominent Local Surgeon Ad-
dresses West School Parent
Teacher Association.

Stressing the need Of improvement
in the home training of children, Dr.
w. Sinclair Bowen, prominent local sur
geon, addressed the Joseph Rodman
West Parent-Teacher Association last
night in the auditorium of the school.
which was presided over by Claude w.
Owen. president. Dr. Bowen attributed
many of the social ills of present day
youth to this lack Of proper training
in the home.
In the development Of character for
the child, Dr. Bowen said, there are
three important subjects which must
be borne in mind in the efforts to give
the young ones proper background.
They are, he continued, obedience, per-
sonal responsibility and religious train
ing. He expressed the belief that it
was the breaking down Of this home
instruction in the formative Years OF
the child which was responsible for
many of the troubles now experienced
in the social realm.
DR.. Bowen also made plea to the
membership to search their homes for
childrens wearing apparel which could
be donated to the student aid. These
garments, he pointed out, could be
sent to Miss r. B. Pearson, principal
of the school, who would send them to
the central bureau, where they would
be made serviceable and distributed to
unfortunate children who now are de-
MED schooling because they did not
have the clothes in which to attend
classes.

Grafton in furloughing some guards en-

According to the resolution, "unusu-

such procedure is not authorized and
adds that non-veterans with extensive
private income do not get these fur

CHARGES SCHOOLS
OF CRIME IN D. c.
Boy Scout Executive Ad.
dresses Monday Eve
ming Club.

The charge that crime schools" are
operated in Washington by skilled
criminals" who teach young boys the
latest methods of picking pockets, beg
ging and working the missions" was
made last night by Linn c. Drake, Boy
Scout executive. in an address before
the Monday Evening Club, in which he
asserted broken morale in the unem-
ployed is the greatest threat to Amer
lea today
Shouts to Audience.
Discussing the problem of The Home
less and Transient Boy" Drake shouted
to the large audience gathered in the
auditorium Of the Y. w. C. A. Building,
Seventeenth and K streets:
Il charge that in our own city OF
Washington there are crime schools
where these itinerant boys are taught
crime-begging, light-fnger methods
and how to work the missions.
Il don't charge these crime schools
to the Police Department. These crooks
are clever They are skilled criminals
who operate secretly, under cover, and
bring into their grasp boys whose NOR
ais have failed-homelesS, wandering
boys who could not stand up under the
present social and economic conditions.
Broken morale is a greater threat
to America today than lack of food or
lack of clothing. The most terrifying
threat is the poverty of morals"
The Boy Scout leader declared that
juvenile delinquency "goes up or down
in relation to the number and availa-
bility of recreational facilities" AS a
direct outgrowth of the depression and
the fact that young men and boys are
left to shift for themselves" he re-
called that in the first nine months Of
this year the Salvation Army alone
cared for 1896 homeless boys under the
age of 21 They came from 10 States,
he said, and represented cross-section
of life. The Travellers Aid. he added,
cares for from 10 to Is a day.
d. c. Government Costs.
The cost to the District Government,
in handling these transients who have
fallen into the clutches Of the law, he
placed at $3,5O0 a year, which is spent
for their maintenance in the District
penal institutions.
Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, who
had been asked to address the club
prior to his resignation as superln-
tendent of police spoke briefly, charg-
ing that ''lack of resourcefulness" is
responsible in large for the great num-
bers of boys and men who are wander
ing aimlessly about the country. Three
great factors are involved, he said
"heritage, environment and education:
He urged the missions to build up self.
respect in those who apply for help
declaring members of the recent bonu:
army often told him they hated" to gt
to the missions because it destroyed
their self-respect."

ecutive commander: Carroll Morgan,

Mai. Blair cited moral, constitutional
and economic grounds as reason for
repeal
For the first. he said. attempts to
enlarge the field of morality before men
and women in their habits agree upon
the change, affects and imperlls the
moral code that has been established
and which men by custom and law up
hold" He asserted efforts to add to
the Ten Commandments by all legisla-
ton has always been a failure
From a governmental standpoint, ne
said. there must be limitation on cen
traliZation of authority.
The eighteenth amendment IS de-
structive Of the framework OF our Con.
stitution," the speaker continued. IL
will destroy the Nation which slavery
failed to destroy unless it is repealeo.
Pleads for Repeal.
He cited economic reason for repea
Taxes are now largely based upon
the necessities of life. The uxurles
of which liquor always has been one
are accepted by every economist 10 OF
fundamental for taxation. II this was
an accepted truth before the presen'
depres sion. how great is its value to u:
today? Liquor should now be taXeo
and not free to those who deal with law
breakers.
THE repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment, and not substituted elghteentI
amendment, is needed to give cities
States and the Government a chance
to raise revenue from this source. II
the de,ay which we face under the la"
before the eighteenth amendment car
be repealed Congress should pass beel

Congress can so reduce tne lars'

DRASTIC SHAKE-UP
IN POLICE FORCE IS
SCHEDULED NOV. |.
Brown and His Staff Review
Scheme for Widespread
Reorganization.
NEW CHIEF ABAND0NS
GEN. GLASSFORD'S PLAN
Underlying Motive of Changes Is
to Increase Number of Uni
formed Men on Street.

Plans for a widespread reorganization
of the police force November l were dis
cussed at conference today between
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, new superin-
tendent, and his executive staff.
A number Of changes in assignment
are contemplated. They will involve
ranking officers as we'll as privates.
Maj. Brown said the details Of his re-
organization plan have not yet been
worked out, but every transfer or read
justment would be made for the purpose
of increasing the efficiency and effec-
tiveness of the force. The underlying
motive, according to the new superin-
tendent, will be to place more uniformed
men on the street.
Drops GlassfOrd Plan.
The Headquarters Detective Bureau
as we'll as the precincts, will be atfected
by the changes. but Maj Brown is not
expected to follow the radical reorgan-
ization plan proposed by his predeces-
sor, Brig Gen. Pelham D. GlaSsford. 1t
had been planned by Gen. Glassforo
to create new division OF criminal IN
vestigation as an integral part OF the
Detective Bureau, with Capt. Edward j..
by the former superintendent as COM
promise to his original plan Of remov-
ing Inspector Frank S. w. Burke as
chief of detectives and placing Capt.
Kelly in command Of the Detective Bu-
reau-a plan that went awry when
Gen. GlaSsford suddenly resigned.
Mai. Brown has given assurance that
Inspector Burke will remain at the
head of the Detective Bureau, and in
dications are that he will be allowed to
draw up his own plan for reorganizing
the bureau. In fact, the new superin-
tendent said it would be his policy to
seek the advice of his executive staff
on all important police changes.
Mai. Brown feels that while he Is
intimately familiar with the set-up of
the department, and personally knows
many of the officers and their qualifl-
cation, the commanders OF the various
bureaus and precincts have problems
with which he is unfamiliar, and he
wants their aid and advice in reor-
ganizing the department on high
basis Of efficiency and service.
Confers With Inspectors.
In carrying out that policy, Maj
Brown first called into the conference
this morning the personnel officer, In
spector L. l. H. Edwards. who also has
the rank of assistant superintendent
After a long discussion with Inspector
Edwards, he sent for Inspectors Burke
and James F. Beckett, and outlined his
plans of reorganization.
Mai. Brown said he had not yet de-
cided on an assignment for Capt. Kelly
who has asked to be relieved of his tenn
porary assignment in command of the
Detective Bureau, and returned to q
, precinct command. Kelly was trans
ferred to the Crime Prevention Bureau
from the third precinct early thi:
month to await the removal Of In.
spector Burke as head of the Detective
| Bureau, but when Gen. GlaSsford re-
signed the veteran criminal investiga'
! tor requested a precinct command.
Capt. Kelly, however, will be giver
his new assignment when the personne
changes are made November l.
