Then she niet these oilicers every _vviieii wltliout full

dt-tail, every mise. She attendpd the Juvenile Court
almost daily. She became aeqnniiiied with the young
oftfcnders. She also became acquainted with their
pnrentn. This gave her n now idea. Sin-:e the of-
feinees of the children were, in n inuiority oi' eases,
directly due to the deficiencies of their parents, why
not train the parents? 4

There hind been sporadic attempts at mothers’ ciuhs
in connection with the puhiic schools before this, But
Mrs. Sehcd wanted n fathers' as well us a mothers'
ciuh, and-so she suggested the new name. These as-
sociations were joined for the priinnigv purpose of ns.
sistiag parents in the trainingot their ciiiidren. After
one year ot work there were thirty tiiousnntl pnr<>nt_~s
