HOT ARGUMENTS
ON TENURE LAW

RIVERSIDE, May 10. U.H-Dis-
Sension marked today's session of
the convention of the California
Federation of Women's clubs. as
members prepared to vote on reso-
lutions upholding and criticising
the state teachers tenure law.
Members were divided sharply in
sentiment between retention, abol-
ition and retention with modifica-
tions. The last seemed a probable
compromise choice.
The federation previously turned
to agriculture with adoption by its
resolutions committee of a report
urging greater farm credits.
The committee recommended that
greater leniency be extended in the
matter of farm loans and more ex-
pert property appraisals. A resolu-
ton recommending universal fin
gerprinting and registrations as a
crime preventive also was adopted.
Addressing the general conven-
ton. Mrs. Irrna Buwalda, former
member of the California crime
commission. described crime as "a
major and acute problem in Cali
fornia.'
'The proportion of criminals to
our population compares unfavor-
ably with that of other states
she said. "Our annual crime bill
of over s31 900 900 is excessive. par
ticularly in view of the state S bud
get deficit
Proper training of the personnel
which deals with prisoners has been
neglected, the speaker declared.
From the board of prison di-
rectors down to the most unim-
portant employee, there is no ade-
quate training required for the ap-
pointment, she said. I'm this re-
spect American prison management
is 20 years behind the times in
comparison with England. Switzer-
land and even Russia and Japan. -

OF LEFFINGWELL
TALK EXPRESSED

Friends of Mr.. S. w. Leffingwell
who attended the monthly social
of the adult Bible class of the
State Street Christian church held
recently at the Leffingwell resi-
dence, were so enthusiastic over

they wish to add their apprecia-
ton.
After Mr.. Leffingwell gave his
talk, v. E. Butterworth, pastor of
the church, spoke, complimenting
the conciseness and the much
practical and helpful information
it contained. Many thanked Mr..
Leffingwell personally for the great
help his talk had given them.
Some of the group had feared
that the large attendance and con-
seouent excitement would be harm
full to Mr.. Leffingwell in view of
his recent illness but he was ap-
parently the happiest member of
the bunch.
Credit is due Mrs. j. Steele. past
president, for the very liberal SER
wing of refreshments and to Anita
and Betty Lou Boone for the two
beautiful songs which preceded the
main address.
Quite a few members were SO en-
thusiastic that they decided to at
tend more regularly. The evening
closed with the singing of the fav-
orite song, "God be with you till
we meet again. Mrs. P. E. Ryer-
