Rev. Crawford Jackson, secretary of the‘ association, said that this will come as a shock to all those who consider themselves eminently fitted to per form this. most important function of bringing up children. “Yet the facts prove,” Mr. Jackson said, “that a large percentage of par ents are guilty either of ignorance, neglect or carelessness, with the in evitable result that the children get off to a bad start. And the injured party is not the parent, nor the out raged society, but the poor, unfortu nate, misguided child. Mr. Jackson, who is widely known both as an author and minister, hav ing written a number of books on bird life, does not hesitate to say that it is indeed time that steps were taken to educate parents in the privileges and duties of the high office of pa renthood. The Juvenile Protective Associa tion, together with other agencies which it helped to establish, has been largely instrumental in creating ju venile courts and probation systems throughout the South. The associa tion is backing a movement at the present time to build “The Junior Republic of the South” for wayward boys and girls. It will be a village with every modern ‘equipment for work and study. Both boys and girls will be taught trades.

John Sevier transfer has capacity for handling 120 cars per day and is now loading an average of 500 cars per week. Freight for the west is loaded to this transfar where solid cars are made up for a large number of points including Cincinnati, Louis ville, East St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, Cleveland, Detroit, Indian apolis, Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Kansas City, Springfield, Mo., and Cheyenne, Wyo. For Chicago proper cars are loaded to move via four different routes, while, to insure the prompt move ment of freight for points beyond, cars are loaded to three leading transfer stations in the Chicago terri tory. Similarly cars are loaded for direct delivery to three north bank lines at Cincinnati, as well as to the Southern’s own freight house, and to two western lines at E. St. Louis. A great volume of freight is now being loaded direct to John Sevier which was formerly handled at the Southern’s transfers at Spencer, N. C., and Inman, Ga. As a result back hauling and indirect movement have been eliminated and the movement generally accelerated. GET RID OF THAT | : BACKACHE! \ FITZGERALD PEOPLE POINT THE % WAY.
