by everyone who spoke, to th?
campaign lor home production to

war crisis, showed that citizens
here realize tho responsibility plac
ed upon them and their readiness
to aerform v. hat has become the
great American duty.
Th committee which will have
charge of the assignment of lots for
gaideng, haa been appointed and
apolications for ground may bo mad

able lajid here for planting. Ac
cording tc those familiar with lo
c:»l gardening, it is imperative that
certain things be planted at once
and practically all the planting
should be completed by the first of
June.

The Eight Rev. I. O. Stringer of
Dawson, bishop of Yukon, was the
founder of the school and has been
the director of the work that the
school is accomplishing for the In
dian children. As he travels thru
th6 territory he continually watch
es for suitable children to be train
ed at the school.
A neatly bound pamphlet, print

issued this month, tells of the
work 'hat is being done for the na

EFFECTS OF THE WAR ON
CHILDREN OF ENGLAND
Juvenile Delinquency Has In
creased 34 Per Cent Since
Great Struggle Began.
Baltimore.—Drawing a terrible pic
ture of war's effects on children in
England, Owen R. Lovejoy, general
secretary of the National Child Labor
Committee, told the conference on child
labor here this country must take dras
tic steps to protect its little ones. Con
cerning conditions in Great Britain he
said:
"Last fall In the English parliament
Sir James Yoxall said: 'A large por
tion of our elementary school system
is in ruins—I will not say as desolate
as the ruins of Lotivain, but there Is to
some extent u iifceuess.'
"In one area 17.000 children out of
41,000 have been displaced from school
because the buildings hare been taken
over for military purposes. Teachers
have enlisted and government econom
ies have lowered the efficiency of the
schools: special classes, evening
classes, medical inspection, free
lunches have been reduced or stopped.
In addition some 500,000 children be
tween twelve and fifteen left school to
enter industry in 1915 and probably
more than that in 1910. Between 150,
000 and 200,000 children eleven and
twelve years old are at work.
"Juvenile delinquency in England
has increased 34 per cent since 1914,
and delinquency of boys twelve and
thirteen has increased in greater pro
portion than In any other age group."
A Dog's Acs.
The age of dogs ranges from twelve
to fourteen years when they receive
Liroiier care
The girls are taught sewing and
housekeeping aud similar useful
tl-ings. The boys are trained in
sardeiiiug, carpemry, blacksmith in g
aud like pursuits.
"Nor is it forgotten" says the
pamphlet, "that mere cleverness
without the Christian character will
never save a man or jvoman. Every
member of the staff is here because
he or she is a missionary aud be
lieves that the knowledge of Jegus
ot Nazareth and trust in Mini alone
can &u.yu th§ decreasing Indians of
the Yukon and make them good aud
useful citizens."
School I'riiits I'ajxr
The Canadian, government sup
plies the buildings, partly keeps
them in -repairs and allows a year
ly giant, but 'he church of England
according to the pamphlet, sup
plies clothing and traveling ex
penses and makes up the yearly
deiicl* "which is uever less thaai
$2,500."
Printing is one of the trades
taught the pupils of the Chooutla
schccl aud they put their training
into actual use by publishing a
school paper, Northern Lights. A
