CLASS STUDIES
CRIME CURBS

With statistics showing that
juvenile delinquency in this coun-
try is increasing, the University
of Maryland has instituted a sum-
mer course in the problems of
preventing and correcting crime
among American youth.
The course is under the direc-
tion of Edgar M. Gerlach, super
visor of social service of the uni
versity, who is connected also with
the Department Of Justice. It is
being attended by a high school
principal, a probation officer of
q juvenile court, and m a ny
teachers.
The aim Of the course, accord
ing to Mr.. Gerlach, is to promote
objective thinking" in the place
of subjective thinking" in cases
of juvenile delinquency.

WATER CLAIMS
TWO D. C.L|VES

One death was caused by a
stunt leap from Key Bridge and
another by drowning was the toll
of water accidents in and near
Washington yesterday.
Charles Toney, q, colored, Of
the 370O block Prospect Ave.
N. w., boasted to friends that he
could dive from the railing at
Key Bridge. Clad in a bright
green bathing suit, he leaped
from the railing as friends looked
on.
He made the 85-foot jump and
struck the water with a terrific
slap. Harbor police later re-
covered his body in IS feet of
water. An Emergency Hospital
physician pronounced him dead.
Mrs. Lottie Smith, %, of the
1400 block N st. N. w., wife of
Allen Smith, an automobile sales
man, was drowned while swim
ming with friends at Woodland
Beach, on South River.
Mrs. Smiths husband, notified
of the tragedy, arrived at the
beach just as rivermen were re-
covering her body with graphing
hooks. The couple have a three
year-old daughter.

SCHOOLS URGED
To EDUCATE,
NOT TRAIN
Character Building Is Job
Only Parents Can Do,
Dr.. HiCkIing Says

School Is not the place to
learn character, declares DR..
Percy Hickling, veteran psychol,
ogist, commenting today on the
proposed character training pro-
gram in the District public
schools.
DR.. Hickling said:
"The schools have a definite
duty, but that is to educate the
child. If they confined them
selves to that both the child
and the schools would be better
off"
Character, according to DR..
Hickling, can only be taught at
home. He added:
"There is, I know, a trend in
all public school systems toward
a program planned to teach the
child good citizenship. But I
doubt if these programs will be
successful. Even with the best
training and intentions in the
world the teacher can not give
the child proper character
guidance"
DR.. Hickling admits that in this
age of jazz the home has rather
slipped up on its job. But the
solution of that problem, he says,
is to correct the home, not to
transfer its duties elsewhere. He
says:
"The home cannot be re-
placed. If it is a bad one it
should be corrected. But that
is not the schools prerOgative."
If there must be character edu-
cation, warns DR.. Hickling, it is
the parents who should be edu-
Gated. Concentrate on them and
not the child, he suggests.

Rupert Reamy, 10, Of the first

times to remember, but only once
has he had run-in with an
honest-to-goodness gunman.
It happened late yesterday and
Rupert, it must be admitted, took
to his heels rather than his hol-

details with difficulty from the
gang"

boys followed, either in hopes Of
ice cream or out of concern for
Shirley-they do not say which.
The stranger carried a large

Rugged tightly. Back on the
front steps of Shirley's home he
chatted amiably with the gang,
and even distributed nickels
among them for ice cream. It
was about then he rated ace.high,
the boys later admitted.
Then he got to kidding Rupert
about being slow at unlimbering
his cap pistol from it's holster.
Rupert did his best at pulling his
rod" but it didn't satisfy the
stranger, who remarked:
Look here. I'll beat you to
the draw"
Revolver in Bag
In a flash the mans hand shot
into the paper bag and pulled out
a revolver which the boys later
conservatively estimated had a
barrel two feet long. Its muzzle
was pointed directly at Rupert.
One instant Rupert was staring
down the barrel of the revolver;
the next he was in the hallway Of
his home. yelling for parental pro-
lection. An uncle, Wesley Owens,
of the 800 block Bryant st. N. E.,
called police, but meantime a pass
ing cab had been hailed by the
gunman and his friend and they
made clean getaway, nickelS,
paper bag, revolver and all.

PRA|R|E: WAGON
COMES BACK

Hyattsville residents gaped in
frank amazement today when a
covered wagon reminiscent of by
gone days passed through town.
The vehicle, it must be admitted,
differed considerably from the
prairie wagons of '49, revealing a
decided Ford influence by sport
ing an antique flivver chassis.
But the rest of it was all any
old-time prospector or even its
owner, F. j. Helm, could ask.
Bewhiskered, frank lover OF
open spaces, Prospector Helm ad-
mits his $4,000 miles of world
wandering have made him some
thing of a philosopher. Comment
ing on the Rooseveltian era, he
opined:
"WelI, the trouble with the
world today is that people are
full of vanity and vexatiOn Of

That violent explosion heard at
the District Building today was
caused by the ordinarily calm DR..
William C. Fowler. health officer,
hitting the ceiling when he read
an interview in which it was said
the Districts death rate among
children, l year and under, is the
highest in the country.
Sputtering with wrath, the doc
tor sought the press room in the
District Building armed with the
facts in the shape of birth certifi-
cate reports, death reports, United
States census figures and what
not. He declared:
"Our infant death rate in this
town averages IS and fraction
per one thousand live births;
that was in 1888. ColOred babies
died at a higher rate, 99.7 per
1000 births and white babies

ing the average I mentioned.
There are ten States in this
country where the average is
higher; running from 20 all the

Inspection revealed that few

however, and high officials char

Answering this assertion, en-

Mrs. Perry says the same pair
