A letter hag been sent out by Super- intendent of Schools E, J. Graham to each of the principals and to all teaeh- ers of schools in the city, asking that they give talks to their puplils during the week on Fire Prevention. Compositions are to be written on the subject by pu- pils of the higher grade: elson Weymouth, manager of the elephone exchange, said one great ble that the operators at the ex- e object of a writ in habeas corpus is to set at large those fllegally restrained of théir liberty, when the subject of the writ is a child the court may take the question of illegal réestraint from one person and hand it over to another. Judge Jennings gives a number of authorities for this ruling, and says that in the case last cited Lord Mansfield said that he would be justified under the cir- cumstances of that case in sending the child to a specified boarding school it that emed to be for its best interest. American courts appear to have adopted the reasoning of this case rather than that of the later English decisions. Both parents are apparently attached to the child and no question is raised as to the fitness of either to care for it. Under these circumstances, ‘the welfare of the child is the sols consideration. While with the father, the child will be cared for by his, the father's mother. ‘While with the respondent, it will be cared for by its own mother. ents should be allowed to keep in touch with the child and to keep its affection In my opinion the best in- terests of the child, who is oniy five years old, will be served by awarding the custody to theé respondent, but al- lowing it to visit the petitioner for the period of the Christmas and summer school vacations. Such an order may be entered and served on the father. Terms of Stipulation The stipulation referred to by Judge Jennings was made December 21, 1921, and provided that the father should have possession of the child from that date until Mareh 16, 1922, except for the day after Christmas, 1921. From March 1923 to June 16, 1922, it was to be with the mother and from the last date to the beginning of the school yéar, about Sep- tember 1, 1922, with the father, at which time new arrangements wers agreed. upon. — The Bquare” Deal in Education.
