A WHITTIER CANDIDATE
Thirteen Y Year-Old Sarah Freidenberg
Ordered Committed

appeared in the courts yesterday. Sarah
Friedenberg is the 13-year-old daugh-
ter of Polish Jews. The father is a
laboring man, not Incorporate, and, so
far as the record showed, the parents
have been and are illiterate but per-
fectly honest people.
And yet the girl Sarah has been going
at a hard canter to Old Nick. Nothing
criminal is alleged against her, but SIM
ply that she likes to go outside the house
to play and there got into the company
of the boys who demoralized her. The
girl is not ignorant and for years has
attended the public schools, but in her
case as in that of many others, the vital
forces of youth had no vent along legit-
innate lines, as in the case of more fortu-
nately circumstanced girls, and SO they
found expression in channels in every
way undesirable.
Yesterday the girl was brought by her
mother before Judge Allen, when the
above facts developed. There seemed no
alternative, and an order was made COM
mitting the girl to Whittier.
