DECIDES AGAINST
OHIO MEDICAL Law
Judge Reed Declares Registration
and Examination Act I'm
constitutional.

SANDUSkY, o., April 1S.-In Common
Pleas Court here this afternoon Judge
Reed ruled that the Ohio state medical
registration and examination law is un-
constitutional because it limits the right
to practice the healing art without the use
of drugs or medicines to osteopathy, and
by the rule of exclusion Christian Scent
lists are prohibited from practicing such
pursuits. He said it should be amended
SO as to allow for a reasonable examina-
ton for Christian Scientists and for their
registration. The ruling was made in the
case of Oliver w. Marble, of Sandusky
who was convicted several months ago and
fined on a charge of practicing medicine
without license. Marble had treated a
case of rheumatism according to Christian
Science.

WILL TELL GOVERNOR OF
GOOD DONE BY HIS COURT
Judge George w. Stubs Volun
tarily Complies Records at End
of Years Work.
FEWER BAD BOYS IN CITY

The success of the Juvenile Court. which
passed its first birthday April II. and which
was started as an experiment by the State

the fixed courts of justice in this city by the
reformation il has already wrought with
the youth of indianapolis. A voluntary re-
port Of the years work to Governor Dur
bin. which win be made to-day. will dis
close the large amount of work done by
this court and the good it has done.
When asked what particular good the
court had wrought Judge Stubs replied
that the fact of the breaking up of gangs
OF youths was of greater significance than
anything else.
THE majority of all mischief" he said
Originates in gangs Each gang has it's
leader. who is its king bee, whom the
remainder of the boys look to and by whom
they are guided. 1t has been the object Of
the court. to. as much as possible. break
up the gangs by Furnishing these leaders
This, too, has not always been done by
sentences, but by delivering such lectures
that have proven of greater benefit to them
than by sending them away to some reform
school,"
An important feature to the Juvenile
Court has been the work of the probation
officers. Without exception they have been
lith anu NOAlcH u PUBIC Spll1I ana OF the
best standing in the city.
THE work of these officers" Judge
Stubs said, lis TO give the boys who come
under the jurisdiction of this court the very
best influence and environment possible
ana ii has succeeded"
Such is the case of a boy who came to
one OF our probation officers the other day
and voluntarily expressed his desire to be-
come probation officer when he grew up
i know a good thing when L see it, he
said fully appreciate the good that the
Juvenile Court has done for me and l am
going to help others
I'VE have not only noticed that the court
has had decided effect for good upon the
youths, but it has reacted upon the parents
OF the children who have come under our
jurisdiction Many parents have come to
our court and expressed their appreciation
for the reformation wrought in their chill
dren and after confessing their lack of in
terest in them promised to show them
greater attention in the future"
II the plans now under way by Judge
Stubs and his assistants materialize, the
future will see even greater successes in
this court than have been accomplished in
the past The boy criminals are no more

detention home for children at the Day
Nursery.
1t is now planned to effect similar insti-
tuition for the girls who receive sentences
from the court and are sent to the Girls
