WHAT MOTHERS WANT

Corporal punishment prohibited in schools. Plenty of agricultural training in all the grades. A chance for foreigners to pursue the study of English in the schools. Laws requiring juvenile courts to be distinct from other courts and from adult probation. The taking of delinquent children out of the hands of correctional officers and juvenile courts. Putting child delinquents entirely under the control of boards of education and state superintendents of education, with the idea that the school authorities are better able to handle the situation and that the remedy lien in the formation, not the reformation, of the child’s, character. —Exchange.
