If these were frequent checks and consultations with the rest of the staff offer some plan of treatment. "It is hoped that this program will also help in the problem of parole. In the past boys have been judged safe for parole if they had conformed to the institutional life and had not been too troublesome, but the old saying that ‘still water runs deep‘ seems to apply to the socially maladjusted also, as often the boy who is quiet under insitu« tional supervision is unable to live under the conditions imposed by the foster home to which he is paroled and a blowâ€"out results. ference committee of the board of ment facilities available and nothing could be done but watch him.

Carroll A. ‘Bartiett in ~charge of The Community Orchestra of Highland Park sent out a novel apâ€" peal for players this week, asking for violinists who should preferably be inexpert, according to Conductor Everett L. Millard, Concertmaster Dr. I. M. Greenberg and Principal Violinist Mildred Cruse. The music played by the orchetsra is chosen, they explained, so that players of a moderate degree of proficiency may learn with sufficient practise to play it well together." "Highland Park has a good many people who put away their cellos, flutes and viloins when they stopped taking music lessons," the Orchesâ€" tra announcement said. "Perhaps they can‘t practise now but the Community Orchestra offers a chance to keep up the instrument. We would like to get some of those instruments back into action again. The Orchestra exists to give local players the pleasure of making musâ€" ic together." The leaders of the orchestra made it clear that newcomers to Highâ€" land Park who play string or woodâ€" wind instruments are welcome, and that anyone knowing of such arâ€" rivals will do the orchestra a serâ€" vice by letting the mknow. "What we need are about half a dozen players who are just fair to middlin‘, not too good," Concertâ€" master Greenberg supplemented the appeal, "Of course if we should get a virtuoso or two, perhaps a budâ€" ding Heifetz, we won‘t object!"
