J*W ftMuto th«y wfll go to Buffalo, pWav New York city men, and in a room often filled with men and .women whose presence was prompted solely by curiosity," said the Evanston Judge. "He believed that as nearly as pos- sible it should be a family affair, con- fining those present to the girl, ber parents, and those interested in ber well-being, that a woman should pre- side at the hearing and all other offi- cials should be women, and the court has been conducted along these lines since March 13." Miss Bartelme then went into some detail on the method of procedure used in bringing a child into court on a charge of delinquency and also gave the statutory definition of the "delin- quent child." She said that the charge against the delinquent girl usually was immoral- ity, larceny or drunkenness. "The principal causes are lack of proper parental car0, the Indulgent parent, the cruel or over severe one, or the indifferent one (indifferent as to the child's arts or welfare), the greedy one, who treats the child as If ber value or worth depends upon whether she works steadily and turns over her entire salary to the parent, mental deficiency, lack of proper rec- reation, la<-k of employment and bad environment," said Miss Bartelme. The speaker then outlined some of the things which she said she believed will lessen delinquency. Among these are: Well supervised public dance halls and playgrounds, women police In all public places whero boys and girls congregate for amusement or recrea- tion, school centers, where families (not the boys and girls alone) may congregate for Tecreatlon, better bous- ing, raise the age at which boys and girls may be allowed to work from 14 to 16 years and use at least one year for the purpose of teaching practical housework and homemaking. She also placed great responsibility upon women, who should set an exam- ple before girls as to tbe proper dress, the right sort of amusements and the character of dancing that is not harm- ful. In closing her discourse Miss Bar- telme said that of ninety-one girls brought in as delinquents from March 3 to July l and given a chance in an- other environment, instead of being Bent to an institution, only three have faikd to make good thus far. LEAVES FOR NEW HOME. Mrs. Nathaniel F. Webb left Wil- mette Saturday for Blloxi, Miss., her new home, where she will join her husband who preceded her a few weeks ago. Tbe many friends of the well known coupli regret to see them leave tbe community. Tbey resided In Wilmette for nine years daring which time they made many friends. Mr. Webb was prominent In tbe af- fairs of the village, having served as village trustee for two terms. BECAME ABUSIVE. M. Fell, a Junk dealer; residing in West Railroad avenue, Evanston, was arrested Friday afternoon by the police on a charge of disorderly cos> duct preferred by Alexander Steal of Chicago, contractor at the new school building at McDanlel avenue and Lin* coin street It Is alleged that Fell grew obstreperous over the purchase of a Quantity of iron pipe from the new school when brought to task by Squabbles over text books to be used, difference** of opinion concern- ing the importance of vocational train- ing in tbe schools and of how much or how little the children are to re- ceive of instruction In those arts called useful, because their products are immediately visible, have some- what dimmed the public vision in re- gard to the thoroughness of the courses in the more fundamental sub- jects. Tbe very general lack of ac- curacy in spelling and the rarity of an ability jo compose a paragraph of acceptable English have been some- what aired, but only teachers and those immediately connected with educational work have realized the very broad extent of an exquisite in- nocence of the fundamental princi- ples of English grammar, which 1b the usual state of the graduate from grammar schools. Poor In English. At the opening of school in the Ev- anston academy last year, an attempt was made in the Latin department to ascertain those pupils who possessed a sufficient knowledge of English grammar to warrant their entrance into the class in beginning Latin. The simplest sort of test was given, which disclosed tbe astonishing fact that less than one-third of the class ot 100 could answer the four ques- tions correctly, and quite one-third failed to give a single correct reply, in tbe sentence, "Among the Romans there is no lack of grain," six pupils selected "there" as tbe subject, two chose "among," three, "Romans," five, "lack," one, "grain," while three of the more ambitious elected the phrase, "among Romans"â€"results which appear to Justify Miss Town send for denominating the test "a guessing contest." A large proportion of the class had • come from the Chicago public schools, a fact which led MIbb Townsend to address a letter to Mrs. Ella Flags Young, superintendent of 'Chicago's schools, enclosing the slips written by graduates from the schools under her charge, as one step toward the elim- ination of the condition, or conditions, which have developed the present ap- palling Ignorance of a subject so im- portant as English grammar. Slow in Answering. Nearly three months elapsed before acknowledgment was made of the! communication, by a letter which j might well have been left unwritten for all time. After the astonishing announcement, "If you would help me lower the ever-growing pile of cor- respondence to be answered, I migbt find time to look through your ques- tions and tbe answers submitted from the Chicago public schools," Mrs. Young disgressed from consideration of tbe beam in her eye to the mote in Miss Townsend's and criti- cized the sentences which she had used to Illustrate the points which she wished to bring out No word of ap- preciation of tbe trouble taken to re- veal to ber a condition in the school system with which one naturally sup- posed ber to be ignorant, since noth- ing was being done to remedy it, not even common courtesy from one worker in a great profession to an- other. Apparently the superintendent bad no interest whatever in so im- portant a matter as that which bad been called to ber attention in an. entirely friendly way. It Is gratifying to Evanatonians to be assured by Principal Helm that pupils entering tbe Academy from the Kvanston grade schools have a much more comprehensive grasp of the work they have done than those which come from Chicago or other public schoolsâ€"another reason for EvanstOQ to congratulate Itself upon tbe character of its school board. IS FOND OF MUSIC; STEALS PHONOGRAPH A desire for music after bo had im- bibed too freely from tho flowing bowl proved the undoing of Leo Ptocienlak, Dewey avenue, Evanston, early Sunday morning, when he was arrested by the police on a warrant sworn out by Steve Vlctuski, of the same address, charging the theft of a phonograph. Victuskl's room adjoins tbe one oc- cupied by Ptocienlak. In the early hours Sunday morning Ptocienlak came home, from Chicago intoxicated. He broke down the door leading to Victuskl's room and made away with the graphophone. Tbe police were called and the disturber taken Into custody. CHURCH BULLETIN WILMETTE. Presbyterian Church. Tbe pastor, Rev. J. M. Wilson, will speak Sunday morning on "Fellow- ship With the Father and tbe Sonâ€" tbe Personality of God." The fact of God's personality is one of the truisms of Scripture, but is often obscured by false philosophy and the ignorance of men. It is one of the great truths which Christ taught and illustrated In His life on earth. The evening sermon will be on "The Law of Oodâ€"Lovo Ub Fulfillment.". This concludes tbe series on the Ten Commandments and the Gospel." The pastor starts Monday on bis vacation, making a side trip to visit for a few days a sister in southern Illinois and a brother In Omaha.
