PASADENA, April S.-That the
county hospital should have a man
aging board of women, chosen from the
club women of the county. was one of
the recommendations made in q paper
read before the Shakespeare club of
Pasadena this afternoon by DR.. Walter
T.. Nichols, formerly Of New York city.
Other recommendations were that an
nual reports, printed for general dis
tribution, be demanded by the tax
payers of the county, that the time Of
training for the nurses be three years
instead of two, that the greatly needed
new operating room be at once estab-
lshed, and that an up-to-date inflrmary
and farm be provided for tubercular
patients. DIR. Nichols paper received
instant response from the women pres
ent who appreciated the present con-
ditions and were at once aroused to
sympathetic interest.
The earlier part of the afternoon was
in charge of Mrs. Mary M. Conan, the
program dealing with prison Reform"
After a brief outline of the work at
tempted and often being accomplished
through the new methods in prison
supervision and training, Mrs. Conan
introduced Mrs. Adina Mitchell, for
merly a trustees at the Whittier state
school, who gave an interesting and
optimistic report of reform work among
hayward girls which had resulted, in
her own experience with them, in the
best possible way, usually For years
interested in the juvenile court
methods, Mrs Mitchell praised without
stint it's advance over the old ways,
when a "discordant" girl was publicly
disgraced by her appearance in the
public courtroom.
Captain A. G. Dodds, probation officer
for Los Angeles city and county, was
present and gave an interesting picture
of the development and work of the
Juvenile court He paid the highest
tribute to Judge Wilbur, under whose
jurisdiction the Los Angeles juvenile
court is placed. Captain Dodds es-
pecially emphasized the fact that In
the legal nomenclature of this court
all such words as criminal" punish
ment," Sentence" crime" or trial"
are tabooed, and are not found in the
laws dealing with children. AS Mr..
Dodds was the first juvenile court pro-
baton officer ever appointed, and aided
III forming the first law, he is an ex-
pert upon the subject, and his address
was greatly appreciated.
