THE PARENTS’ PART

TN BRINGING UP THE CHILDREN. To bring up children to their best advantage demands on the parent’s part, a sacrifice of leisure, of convenience, and often of amusement, which some find it hard to make in these days, when the craving for amusement is so tense and so widespread, said the Marquis of Linlithgow, at -=* juinual meeting of the Edinburgh Juvenile Organisations Committee, in the course of which he referred to the lack of control exercised by parents, and the tendency to relax discipline. Sir John Lome MacLeod, chairman of the Committe, who presided, said that since the last annual meeting, owing to the development of the work outwith the immediate boundaries of the city, the name of the committee had been changed to the ‘‘Edinburgh and District Juvenile Organisation Coni S tee.” Appealing for continued and extended support, he said that every juvenile saved from the reformatory and industrial school through probation was not only a moral saving, but also a saving in actual hard cash cost to the community.
