In introducing the speaker, Dr. G. E. Reaman, superintendent. ot the school, reminded his audience that since the inauguration of the luncheon club at' the schogl, many prominent men bad addressed the meetings but the school had never before been so highly bonored In having such a distinguished guest as Toronto's Chief of Police, "It was rather siguiticant," he addea, "that Toronto should follow the lead of London, Edgland, in choosing for its chief a very dis- tinguished soldier, one who had seen "much active service for his country and one who bad made Toronto a very uncomfortanie place for American gunmen." Since his appointment as chief ft had been noteworthy that crime fn the Queen City had greatly de- creased and that with the great interest being shown by Geperal Draper in the prevention of crime this decrease was likely to con tinue, * It had always been the aim of the luncheon e¢lub, Dr. Rea- man sald, to have speakers who know something of crime preven tion and who would look the school over and give advice that would be helpful in conducting this work among the young lads of the cit fes, He also welcomed to the lun- cheon the father and mother of the school, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. H. Jury, Mayor and Mrs, Elliott, Ross Strike, local barrister, the chief of police of Bowmanville, Colone: McLaughlin and George W. James, In opening his remarks, General Draper told of being one day rec- ently in the office of the prime minister of Ontario when he be- came acqualuted with the work be- jng carried on by the training school. He was amazed, he said, to find that the premier took such an active interest in this school when he had so much to think of. He did not think it possible for the premier to have at his finger tips information concerning the school which he did and it syr« prised him that such a busy man should have such first hand know- ledge and be so vitally interested in the young lads of the province as he was. Turping to Mr, and Mrs. Jury, the General stated that in the years to come their names would be handed down as ones who had greatly added to the educa- tional system of the provinee of Ontario. This school, dedicated to the prevention of crime and the bringing up of the youth of the province in the proper environ- ment was even now after so few years one of the finest inbtitutions in the country and the finest of its kind in the world. Dr. Reaman, he 'said, impressed him as being a man who possessed a practical , and effective know- ledge of young boys and their treatment in the' preyention of crime. Here was a s¢hool doing everything to prevent crime and starting at the right age when the lads were young and at a time in their lives when "their Jute 1s molded. "All these boys in years to come will reflect back on this institution with pride," the speak- er added. The only . effective method ot orime prevention the General said, was to have the will to help tho individual who has made his first mistake in life. This was the pol fy of the Toronta police: a snirit of sympathy with those who haye made minor mistakes, 'Follow them up when they come vut of our reform institutions, place them in work and keep' in contact with them, this is our method and the policy of the recently formed Cit« fzens' Service League of Toronto." | Leading citizens of the city of. Tor- onto had helped to organize this it function satistactorily in a sim-| 1.{ilar manner to that system used at the Boys' Training School in od for a better under standing and closer co-operation between the judicary, the magis- trates and the police in the know- ledge that this wbyld bring about a reduction {n crime. It was im- possible in a big city, he said, to prevent crime before it was cows mitted but it was possible when a crime lad been committed to prevent its repetition by. sympa- thetic treatment of those tirst of- fenders. In this spirit and 'with the co-operation of the 'Judges. 'the police and the public at large a reduction in crime was sure to be the result: Wednesday morning.

GREEKS FLOODED BUT NO DAMAGE 13 and Towards Oshawa at Very High Level The mild weather of the past few days has raised the water in the creeks around Rowmaaville to their highest level this spring. Most of them are running level with the banks and the Mill Creek at the Base Line near Brown's Farm is overflowing onto the road for a distance of fifty yards. Water is coming over Vanstone's dam heavier than at apy time this year and the Goodyear dam on the same creek is completely overflowed, At the Cream of Barley creek the water is exceptionally high and part of the camp is flooded. How- ever with all the high water there is practically no damage noted for the town stands high and dry above any of the creeks east and west, Between Oshawa and Bow. manville all the creeks, especially those at Harmony, sre full to the banks but unless a heavy rain or a big fall: of snow comes during the next few days there is not much fear of a repetition of last spring's disastrous floods.
