WOULD ABOLISH THE HOME oo AT [x rin Boys of Vienfla Rudely Shock Gos- ernment Officials ' London, April 11.-- The Vienna | correspondent of The Daily Mail! wires "The government has taken! strong action against a curious re] volutionary movement among the boys of Vienna on the ground that | it is dangerous to the state. For! some years a 'culture -.clud' had! existed privately among the boys but the membership 'became , so large | that thé president of the club ap- | plied to the government for permis- | sion to put a club for boys of §ix- | teen and over ofi+a legd}t * basis. | When the government officials re-| ceived a copy of the propesed statu- tés they had a rude shock. Statute number 1 calmly provided for the ; abolition of the home. Members of | the club were enjoined to put pres- | sure on their parents so as to obtain! flats for themselves. 'Other items on the hoys' pro- | gramme were the election of schoo! teachers and the dismissal of un- popular teachers. Suggestions were | invited for up-to-date substitutes for such institutions as the Wome and school. These and even more start- ling proposals horrified the officials. A 'conference was hurriedly called. The minister of education, 'who was on a holiday, was summoned to Vienna. The existing club was raid- ed and closed because further evi- dence of the unblushing effrontery of the movement was found. "The minister of education knew only too well what the boys meant by putting pressure on their par- ents. 'Vienna parents are often bul lied into acceding to the wishes of | their children' by threats of sui cide." | % Tidings from Bath Bath, April 11.---Mr. and Mrs. Frank Covert, of Warsaw, N.
