DETENTION HOUSE TEACHERS URGED One or two school teachers to act as instructors at the house of deten- tion for the inmates were advocated by Mrs. Nina C. Van Winkle, director of the woman's bureau of the police department, in an address at the weekly luncheon of the City Club today. Mrs. Van Winkle explained that the average number of inmates at the place was forty. She said it was perferred that a man and woman be assigned as teachers. but that if only | one is assigned a woman should be sent. She said Supt. Ballou of the public schools has approved her sug- gestion and that the matter would soon be presented to the board of education. Need of Equipment. Before the step can be taken. Mrs. {Van Winkle said, more equipment is needed. She pointed out that there are not cnough chairs to go around | famong the children.
