MAINTENANCE OF 100 CHILDREN AT INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL URGED
. . . dfefe. ? ?? '?<?
REPORT IS
HANDED TO
D.G. READS
Trustees Recommend Several
Drastic Changes at
Institution.
Maintenance of a child popula
tion in excess of 100 at the Wis
consin Avenue Industrial Home
School is recommended by the
school board of trustees, in a re
port to the District Commissioners,
who considered and acknowledged
the report today. The Commis
sioners made no comment on the
recommendations.
Full Term is Urged.
The trustees urged also that chil
dren placed In the school should <>e
allowed to remain during the entire
public school term, to insure ade
quate education: that information
desired by the Jjtoard of Children's
Guardians, relating to the children,
be secured through the school super
intendent; that the guardians' board
receive a report from the super
intendent on all children before re
moval, and that every child be given
a physical examination before bein?
sent to the-school, with the alterna
tive of establishing means for such
examinations at the^school.
The report expressed the trustees'
willingness to co-operate with the
board of guardians on the subject
of the children. Copies of th4 re
port were sent by the truHees to
the Board of Charities and the guard
tans' board.
Signed By President.
The report was signed by F. W.
McReynolds, president of the l?oard
of trustees.
The attention of welfare workers
today was directed to the case of
Catherine Muir. seven years old,
parlytic and said to be fe^ble-miniled.
who was pronounced "Incurable"
by Children's Hospital physicians
and other medical experts, two
years ago.
The guardians' board placed
Catherine in the home of Miss
Bessie Shekell, 1425 Thirty-fourth
street northwest, who in two years
trained the child to walk llmplngly.
to move her arm's and to talk. It
Is pointed out. however, that the
board risked the Uttle girl's life by
trusting her to the care of a per
son not expert in the care of ab
normal children.
Although Miss Shekell says
Catherine is feeble-minded, she al
lows the child to sleep in the same
bedroom with Helen and Harriet
Mills, eight and nine years old.
respectively. two normal child
wards of the guardians' board whom
Miss Shekell has raised from baby
hood. , ?
The Shekell home is clean, well
aired and the children receive good
food and clothes. The Mills btsUrs
are given pocket money. ?
Ward Runs Away.
Leaving out of the question the
mental effect of the presence of a
feeble-minded child on two healthy
children, medical opinion is united
on the fact that special nursing must
be given abnormal, crippled children,
despite the fact -that Miss Shekell
has worked wonders with Catherine
Muir.
Margaret Phillips, fifteen years old,
who Is considered "below the stand
ard," ran away from the Shekell
home to the Wlaconsin Ayenue In
dustrial Home School yesterday
morning, after she and the Mills chil
dren had attended 6:30 o'clock mass
at the Holy Trinity Church, a daily
observance during May and Junt.
Margaret is jinder height and un
der weight for a normal girl of her
years. She recently completed
studies in the sixth grade at the
Holy Trinity parochial school In a
class of children averaging twelve
years of age.
"I've been in about ten different
families and In the home school
Since I went under the board eleven
years ago." Margaret said. "I don't
know how many different schools
I've been to, because I was always
changing around. I don't remem
ber how the board came to get me.
I was too young to know then. I
used to live with my mother?my
father's dead?on I street south
west.
Charges Cruel Treatment.
Af some of the homes in which
she was placed by the board Mar
garet says, she was treated cruelly.
Her sister. Thelma, thirteen years
old, also was a ward of the Dis
trict for several years, but recently
ran away and succeeded in being
placed with her aunt, Mrs* John M.
Flail, at 231 R street northeast.
Mrs. Margaret Phillips, the chil
dren's mother. Is believed to be work
ing here. Correspondence between
the two sisters, during the time that
Margaret was at the Shekell home,
showed that Thelma had discovered
her mother's whereabouts. Mar^ret
said she had not seen her parent
since ltl7.
Margaret said she had received
generally good treatment at the
hands of Miss Shekell, but wanted to
go to her mother or to live with her
sister. She has been In the Shekell
home for more than five years.
Drops Dead in Station.
While walking In Union Station a
few minutes after he had left a train
of the Atlantic Coast Line from'
Miami, Fla.. last night, B. P. Scott,
sixty-five years old, of New Castjc,
Pa., dropped dead from heart disease.
His body was taken to the morgue
pending arrival of relatives, who
were notlffed of his sudden death by

.PENNANT BATTLE SONG.
(Washington'* fine ball team
can win the pennant yet if every
fan will back the boys to the

lines below at the beginning of
every inning, to whatever old
tune they'll fit best, and if there's
no good tune what musician will
furnish one at once to H and Sf)
Go it, Griff;
Knock 'em stiff;
Go it Milan,
Keep a-smilin';
Soak the ball, lad,
Make 'em sad;
You can do it, boys,
And bring us joys;
Up on your toes,
We want no woes;
Whoop 'em, fans,
Beat the tin pans;
We can win yet,
You just bet.
WANTED TO BE SURPRISED.
Margaret was asked by her
hoarding school classmates whai
she would like for her thirteenth
birthday.
"I would just like to have a 'sur

GEORGE WASHINGTON in
swapping a slave for a whole

We don't know who will finally

"PUSSYFOOT" JOHN SON

While playing in the yard In the

by Howard. The boy had the
wound cauterised at the Casualty
Hospital.
Friction Between Landlords
and Tenants Appears to
Be Abating.
Brighter days for Washington
homeseekers are forecast by a con
dition In the District Rent Commis
sion which a headline writer would
be tempted to call a "peace orgy."
The evidences of this condition
lie In the fact that landlords and
tenants have recently become mote
amenable to arbitration between
themselves, making It unnecessary
for the commission to take a hand.
Twenty dismissals of cases before
the rent board were reported today.
8ome of these had been before the
commission for a long time. In all
of them, however, either of the par
ties took measures acceptable to the
other, Indicating, after the long
waged war between landlords and
tenants, that the millenlum Is just
around ths corner.
"The commission 1s as well satis
fied with these outside settlements,
us if the cases had been heard,'' said
Secretary W. E. Chapman, "The
large number of dismissal* show
that the commission has a gri-sit
moral effect upon the housing situa
tion In Washington, as well as tan
gible power. I consider each one of .
these dismissals another feather In ?
the cap of the commission."
It was suggested that certain
rases were adjusted by private
settlement because the commission
sometimes goes too far in the merits
of a complaint to suit the complain
ant or the party against whom the
complaint is brought.
