Meskill sat on the- bench and shivered, while Prosecutor G. W. Klett shivered and Lawyer A. A. Greenberg also chattered as they were conducting { their case. Not a bit of steam had ihct‘l\ turned into the radiators, with the result that the court room re- sembled one of Armour’s refrigera- | tors across the street more than it did a hall of justice. Peter Dombrowski, who is alleged to have made a disturbance at a lo- cal cobbling shop yesterdy, did not appear when his case was called and Judge Meskill ordered his bond of $100, put up by Boleslaw Bajewski, | forfeited. Mrs. Sophia Majolis was also ar- raigned on a breach of the peace charge, it being claimed that she as- saulted one of her tenants, Mrs. Mary Chefnoski, when the latter per- mitted the water in the kitchen pipes to freeze. She wa representd by Lawyer A. A. Greenberg. She was found guilty and ordered to pay the costs of court.

One particular instance he told of, the mother w il with rheumatism to such an extent that she was unable to do anything and for this reason the oldest child, a girl of 14 years, was kept at home. The case was investizated by the teacher and it was deemed best to allow the child to remain at hame whereas if the case had been left to a truant of- ficer the real conditions would not have been known and the child would have been punished and conditions made worse for the rents. At one time a dclegation of boys made an appeal to him to oust the principal of their school because, as they believed, he had treated one of | them unjustly. When the facts of the case were revealed it was found that it was a case of petty jealousy between two rival crowds, and for this reason they were in favor of ousting the principal. He took the ringleader of the boys into his con- fidence and convinced him that he ting teach- er was informed of the case and she made an investigation into the home life of the boy which resulted in learning that the hoy had no mother, his father was a drunkard, and his brother was one of the worst crim- inals ever produced.

She also has the matter of giving out working certificates to the children in her care and is able to hold back those who are in need of more schooling but who are forced through the conditions of the home to go to work, and she secures the aid of the town in helping out the family so that the child can continue it The matter of clean- looked into strenuously and way she uplifts the general school | ant O teach' dance hest in this for the work is 1y that it the work of the visiting teacher and Dr. TIolmes expressed the belief that the time is coming, and very soon, when each school will have a iting teacher to perform the duties e plained by him.
