Lieber' of Winnetka took as her topic the " Welfare of the Children of Illinois " adding, that the time has come whe~ the welfare of the children of one state cannot help but affect the welfare of children in every state. . "We are at present facmg a very grave problem in ~iscipline, which is typified in the growmg lack of respect for authority and of deference for old age," said Mrs. Lieber. "I am ~onder ing if the home has kept pa~e v.;:th the rapid progress along other lmes. Home ia Foundatioa "I cannot help but feel that the home should be the foundation of child welfare anywhere," she continued, "and next to the home we must place the school and the teacher. Next to motherhood come the years when we entrust the child to teachers, and we must keep the standards of teaching high in order to have teachers who will lay the foundations as they should be laid for our children. I hope to live to see the time when we shall see that those in charge of the beginning grades shall receive just as much salary and have just as much demanded of them in the way of education and preparation as is demanded of teachers in third and fourth year high school." Mrs. Lieber stated that she believed many of the heart-breaking things which workers in the Juvenile court ran up against might be corrected in the home. "However, where the mother does not mean much the teacher must be the great moulding force in the child's li fc.'.' Mrs. Lieber rl!peated her statement, that we are up against a grave crisis in the matter of discipline in our young pcopl~. and added that she had been delighted with the deference, the respect, for authority and the interest in the wel{are of children which she had found manifested among the students of the Kindergarten college. bage collection and disposal?
