Juvenile Courts

Juvenile courts have been in operation
FOR some time i'll Massachusetts, Michi-
gan aud Illinois, and they have worked
very successfully. instead Of hauling
a child into the prisoners box in !,
regular court and surrounding him witt
Il staring multitude, the hearing is held
in private. Each ease is investigated
and in first offenscs the children are
usually paroled. The probation officers
of the court are responsible for the good
behavior Of the paroled children The
result is that instead of sending Il boy
to prison, to become i'll all probability Il
hardened criminal in the end, he is given
every chance for reformation.

But it is the beginning of such II

our civilization. The acceptance by
England of the intervention of this
country into the affair was a distinct

\ glance at the map and the eX-
planation which accompanies this ar
ticle will give a fairly comprehensive
idea of the difficulties that confront
ed the court of arbitration to which
this boundary question was referred.
England claimed wide stretch of
territory beyond the Schomburgli
line, of which we heard so much dur
ing those exciting days when peace
or war hung in the balance, while
Venezuela. even more ambitious than
England. laid claim to a broad tract
of territory that comprised more
than half of British Guiana
The world, and especially America,
quick to search for a reason for the
dispute, laid the trouble, and the eN-
tensive claims of England, to the
newly discovered gold fields that were
located in the disputed territory.
We called England many harsh
names, but a second glance at the
map will prove the fact that Nenc-
zuela was claiming much more gold
producing territory that the court of
arbitration has decided rightfully
belonged to England than that coun-
try was claiming of Venezuela. Not
only were the gold fields in dispute,
but the virtual control of the great

British ministers had proposed yield
ing the point to Venezuela, but it had
never been done. This fact was
taken into consideration by the court
of arbitration, and Barima Point,
controlling as it does the mouth of
the Orinoco, has been awarded to
Venezuela. This deviation from the
Schomburgk line gives to Venezuela
but a small tract of territory, but it
does give her the control of the
Orinoco, which is of far more inn

badly injured hand as the result of
an accident with which he met last

coupling cars, and was preparing to
make coupling when he slipped, but
still retained his hold with the right
hand to avoid falling. The engineer
backed up with the remaining cars be-
fore Mr.. Huffman was able to remove
his hand, and the result was that that
member was badly pinched. Will was
obliged to give his own signal to Ego
ahead" to the engineer in order to re-
lease his hand, ashewas the only witness
ofthe accident. His injuries were attend
ed to, and it was found necessary to
ampu'ate part of the right fore finger.

be congratulated that under the cir
cumstances it did not prove more SER
