Carefully was the plant nur d Iin the nurse: of the club until some good Sa tans, Fairfax Wheszlan, Judze Judge Murasky and other unattached gocd people ral- lied to ihe support of the work in hand, and laws were enacted at the last Leg- islature making provision for Juvenile NCourts in certain localities. Then came—in its own good time, as | come most reforms—the Parental School of San Francisco. It was found- {ed in this city, experimentally, to han- die boys that had overrun school and parental discipline. Schools of this type had been in successful operation in the large cities of the East for some years, but in the West the proposition was a new one, The fundamental basis of success was to secure for the school a head who weuld understand the mental mechan- isms of boys—the psychology of lads who compose “de gangs” that Infest | the densely populous parts of the city. The Board of Education found in Rich- {ard K. Fauikner, for twenty vears prin- | cipal of the Franklin Grammar School, | jat Eighth and Harrison streets, the | leader needed. What he, abetted by | Superintendent Langdon and the Board { of Education, has done during the year | is best told in the following report sub- | mitted by Mr. Langdon to the board on | Thursday last: Gentlemen : I submit herewith a report on | the Ban Francisco Parental School organized s Board of Education July 27, 1904. | e there is yet much 1o be desired In the | equipment and organization of the echool a in its environment a fair start has been mad i Already the good results of a school of t | kind in the city have been made evident by t decrease of truancy in the regular schools. The course of study as followed in the oth- | er schools of the city is carried out hers and | in _addition thereto the superintendent h rected the principal and teachers to | spectal attention to manual tralning, p | culture and military drill, music and drawing. Joseph Meyers, formerly a drill sergeant in | the National Guerd, and now superintendent of the children's play ground, has volunteered his services to Instruct the boys of the Parental School in military tactics, superintend their | | ical training practice and direct their | games and sports at the public playground | ring each noon hour. Already an Improve- ment in the physique and _bearing of the bo; is noticeable, Frank Barthel, teacher of ma: { ual training in the Frankiin School Center, has | kindly volunteered to give an hour's work in | manual training, after school hours, to the | Parental School boys. At the beginning of the | | next school vear proper compensation should | | be made to these men. { | At present there is no one In the Parental | School who can effectively supervise the music | and drawing. As these subjects are especially | | important for boys of their type I respectfuliy suggest that the next teacher assigned to the | | school ‘be gualified to supervise both thess | studies for ‘the entire school. On_Monday, December 12, 1804, the Honor- able Frank J. Murasky, Judge of the Juvenile Court, and the Superiniendent of the Schools, acting upon_the recommendation of the prin- | cipal of the Parental School, paroled eight boys, | thres of whom had been committed to ihe | school by the Juvenile Court and five through the superintendent’s office. Seven of the bo; seem to fit Into regular school conditions sat facterily and bid fair to give no further trouble. paroled boys played truant i One of the mediately upon | return to & regular school, | | but was at once taken into custody and will | be_disciplined the Juvenile Court. | | | ® present roliment of the echool, shown by the report of the principal, is 85, grades being represented from the first to t. sixth, inclusive.

Therefore let us extend ! the environment for healthy develop- ment—mental and moral—and the | means at hand for said growth consists of the Parental School, the Detention !

A general invitation had Francisco to attend this meeting of l]‘.-"" club, Miss Bertha Chapman gave an inter- | ting lecture on Needs of Protective Legislation.” used many bird skins te illustrate her | remarks. Miss Chapman, who has | charge of the nature study course in | the Oakland school, held the attention of all the women present for nearly an hour. She quoted marvelous statistics proving that birds are of enormous benefit to the farmers, as they destroy the farmer’'s enemies, the injurious in- sects and the seeds of noxious weeds. She hopes that the boys who are now in schoo! may be taught the ecomomic She | eration of farmers will recognize them as their best friends. Of eighty spe- cies of hawks only six are bad, and through ignorance all hawks are called bad, which is rather hard on the well- behaved hawks. Two bulletins are about to be fssued by the Department of Agriculture in Washington in regard to the food of ornia birds, and investigations will be continued next year in this State by the same branch of the Govern- ment. Mrs. Dean W. Park, the second speaker, made a plea for an annual bird day in the schools of California. She quoted from official circulars of the Depariment of Agriculture an ap- schools of this country to set apart such a day in the spring of each year, and teach the boys not to shoot birds nor to collect eggs, and the girls not to wear feathers on their hats. She gave a brief account of the work done ird-stomach man,” so called, in identifying the insects and seeds found in the crops of thirty-four thou- sand birds shot for the purpose, and of protecting birds. Mrs. Park appealed to teachers and club women to abandon plumage of all kinds, except ostrich feathers. A large amount of bird literature was distrib- uted among the club women. Two Audubon societies have been formed recently in this State, one in Pasadena of 600 members and the new one at Berkeley. The State Federation of Clubs which meets at Los Angeles in February will probably have bird protection on its programme. Ah! But that's an awful wrench— just after every woman nas ordered hcme her new winter hat, and, of course, it has a wing or a breast, or an aigrette on it. If it hasn't it lacks dis- tiriction, Alas! Another clash of theory and practice, of fiction and reality. However, after a few more bird days, with such clever misslonaries as Mrs. Paul and Miss Chapman, we women may so alter our tastes as to eschew the glistening raven wing or the pea- | cock’s gaudy breast. | By the way, now that humanitarian appeals are being made to women to save birds by not buying their poor | iittle dead bodies for millinery—which | is, of course, a barbarous practice, since it would be as sane to use fish| for the purpose—why doesn’t some: voice cry out against the unspeakable | crime committed for the purpose of| in broadtail?| Shame should kill the infamous traffic, and I am of the belief that if women knew that a dozen unborn lambs had | been slaughtered that thetr half-grown | skins could be used for a single coat of | fashion they wouldn't want to wear them. And with the vanishing of de- mand the little lambs would live to| fulfill the laws of life. Let the clubs agitate the matter. S e To-morrow at 12:30 the California Club will “set itself down to breakfast in the Ploneer Hall. “No speeches, no papers, no bores” is the watchword. The breakfast ought to be a ravishing success. R VR The Susan B. Anthony Club met Mon- day, December 19, at 2 p. m., at the res- | idence of Mrs. Ellen A. Sargent, 1690 Folsom setreet. The business of the| meeting was the election of officers and | also for hearing the reports of the offi- | cers for the year 1904. Two persons re- | ceived a vote of thanks from the club— | Mrs. Hobe for her present of 200 copies of the club's constitution and by-laws, prepared in book form, and Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Blinn for the delightful pro- ramme she arranged for the club dur- ing the year. Mrs. Isabel Baldwin was elected pres- | ident of the club to succeed herself; | Mrs. Hobe, first vice president; Mrs. Ellen A. Sargent, second vice president; Mrs. J. Nor- thon, treasurer; Mrs. G. W. Pringle, press work: Mrs. Rider and Mrs. Hale, auditors. The next meeting will be held at the same place, the home of Mrs. Sargent, 1690 Folsom street, corner of Thirteenth.
