Contrary to some opinions, it is not a reformatory, and in no way sug- gests anything neither venal or punitive in its dealings with boys from all parts of the provinee, It does, however, take lads from en- vironments that do develop adult eriminals; and it also provides for- mation, rather than reformation, for the boy with incorrigible ten- dencies, As stated by Supt. G. E, Reaman, Ph.D, it is a Boys' Training School of the highest vocational type, ren- dering special service to the under- privileged youth, and brings the fin- est possible influences to bear on boys be§ween 8 and 16 who, to men of suchforganizations as the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, seem in need of special aid in solving their life problems. Boys do not come to the school on committment from any court, They enter on recommendation of prom- fnent citizns epeo-rennoeromtfet-m inent citizens of city, town or coun- ties, and only after undergoing the Binet-Simon intelligence fest which each entrant must pass with an average of B80 per cent. 80 Tads in Training There are 80 lads in training at present, though accommodation for an additional 120 will soon be pro- vided. They come from every sec- tion of the province, and though the school Is less than two years old, it has sirendy achieved out-] Rescue Work Made Danger- standing results with more than a 100 boys who have passed through ft to become a part of Ontario's great body of good citizens. The boys here are not with us for diseipline," Dr. Reaman states #but for education. The motto is *A square deal and play the game.' Whatever the boy's record may be at- home, it does not come here. Our lads start with a clean sheet. We have privileges rather than dis- cipline, and the great lesson fis that privileges Mave to be earned. These privileges include permis- sion to trade st the school's tuck shop on Saturdays, to visit the Town of Bowmanville, and to return home for holidays at three periods during the year. Holidays, for boys that have homes to which they ean safely go, range between four and ten days.

Grief- stricken over tne death of his wife, whose hody he was bringing back to this country for burial, Col, Wil- liam P .Stone, sixty-six, U.S.A., re- tired, committed suicide Sunday af- ternoon by jumping into the sea from the promenade deck of the lin- er Tuscania, which docked here. Marked hy fellow passengers he- cause of his sombre aloofness, Cal. Stone settled his accounts with the liner's stewards Sunday morning, when the Tusconia was still three hundred miles from port and order ed an early luncheon. He left the crowded dining salon and went to the promenade deck, which was de- serted except for a deck steward. Without hesitation he climbed over the railing and laped into the sea. The steward immediately threw a life-preserver near the spot where he had seen the Colonel disappear aid gave an alarm, The Tusania came ahout and circled in the vicin- | ity more than an hour, A lifeboat was lowered but no trace of Col, | Stone was found. When the liner reached quaran- tine, a son of John G. M. Stone hparded her and arranged to have | body of his mother who died at Pavls two weeks ago, of heart dis- ease, taken to his home, 126 East 51h street, There, funeral ser- vices were held and the hody taken to Arlington, Va., for burial in th National Cemetery, Col. Stone was born in Little Rock, Ark, in 1860, and was grad- uated from the United States Mili- ti ry Academy in 1882 and the Army Artillery School a year later. After twenty-six years of service, includ- ing duty in the Spanish-American War and in the Phillipines, he was retired in 1809 at his own request with the rank of Major. He was culled back into service during the world war to establish grtillery schools and was retired again in July, 1918, with the rank of Col- onel. . One of his sons is - Lieut. Commander Ellis 8. Stone, who now commands the Isabel, flagship of the Yangtse River Patrol in China. The Stones are survived by two other children, Caleb, who lives at the 35th street address, and Mrs. Chandler Gates, of Burlington, Vt. The Colonel and bis wife, who was Miss Martha I, Williams of Little Rock, went abroad more than ago after a venidenee in New Orleans. ELEVEN PERSONS ARE INJURED AS BUS TAKES DITCH Accident Occurs to Party on Way to Celebration at Markham Eleven per- sons were injured and several others received bruises, 'minor cuts and suflered from shock when a Toronto Transportation Commission bus, loaded with women members of the Loyal Orange Benevolent Associa- tion, bound for the Orange gather- ing at Markham, toppled into a four- foot diteh at Milliken's Corners, a mile and a half south of Unionville yesterday. The bus was slowly rounding a corner in the road when the fromt wheels went over the edge of the culvert. Then the great vehicle toppled further and crashed on fits side in the ditch. Struggling Mass The load of women was piled in- to a crushing, strugsling mass, trampled in the upset bus. That the casualties were mot greater and more serious, was due to the prompt action of a bus load of Young Britons which was pro- ceeding ahead. As soon as the ac- cident was perceived this bus stop- ped and the Young Britons rushed back. They pulled the women in the capsized bus through the windows. One woman declared last night that, due to the quick work of the rescuers, not more than 19 minutes elapsed between the accident and the release of the last passenger from the bus. On jin Hospital The injured received medical at- tention summoned from Unionville Markham and Agincourt. Some of the victims were taken by passing motorists to Markham. One, Mrs. Mary Perry of 196 Waybourne av- enue, was rushed to the Toronto General Hospital. The bus contained members of the L.0O.B.A., Duchess of York No. 625.

Chis new Loup of buildings will cost be- tween $75,000 and $100,000, and added to the existing plant will boys. The school's present enrollment is 80. Work on the new dormitories | will be begun at an early date, G. Reaman, Ph. D., superintendent of the school states. The current yiar's building program, of which they are a part, ineludes a $50,000 academic school building now near- ing completion. Its total cost, with equipment, will run close to $756,000.. It is probable that a gymnasium will be added to the plant in the near future possibly this year. Begun as an experiment in Aug- ust, 1928, with 18 boys who form- ed the first groyp housed in the rambling farmhouse which is now the school's administration build- ing, three dormitories, manual arts building, and dining hall were open- ed in May, 1926, which was the school's actual beginning. Over 100 boys have already pass- €d through th» institution and have already demonstrated that the school's system of training, which is unigue in its field, is one of the century's marked steps towards solving the problems of lads who develop anti-social tendencies. Dr. Reaman, graduate of To- ronto, Queen's, and Cornell Uni- versities, is one of Canada's most distinguished psychiatrists, who combines the genius of a born leader of boys with outstanding ability as a scientist. Ably second- ed in his work by a staff of ex- perts, the Boys' Training School of Bowmanville is attracting world- wide interest. The school is all Canadian both in its inception and development, and gives the Province of Ontario a position of distinguished leader- ship in the matter of inculecating that, if allowed to develop, end in amongst boys who, by pature or environment, develop tendencies abat, if allowed to develop, end in criminality. vas, Hospital, cuts on arm, neck and wrist and ribs broken.
