JUVENILE COURTS TOPIC
AT PORTLAND CONFERENCE

Portland, July l6.-An audience that
taxed the capacity of the auditorium on
Lewis and Clark fair grounds was pres.
ent today to hear James Lee, of st
Louis, before the conference of charities
and corrections.
Tonight two meetings of the confer
ence were held, one at the First Pres
byterian church in which was discussed
the progress of the Juvenile Court
Movement" and another at the Unitar-
ian church which considered the "War.
fare against Tuberculosis" Both
churches were filed.
At the Presbyterian church the prin-
cipal address was made BY Hon. b. b.
Lindsey, judge of the Juvenile court of
Denver. Lindsey's subject was the
progress of the Juvenile Court Move
ment and consisted of a report of the
committee on juvenile courts. He said:
During the last year number Of
states established Juvenile courts and
almost an equal number already have
such legislation, passed amendments or
additional laws improving those already
existing. The most noteworthy feature
of such laws has been to make parents
more responsible for the moral well
fare of children. The most advanced
of these laws hold parents not only ac-
countable for faults of their own child
rem, but in certain cases for the faults
of other children. This is absolutely
necessary because OF the aslpciatioIl
among children in neighborhoods where
the influence of child from a bad
house may completely destroy the good
influence brought the house-life of a
child from a good home. sent ques-
tions to the chiefs of police of various
cities asking What, in your opinion, are
the principal causes of trouble among
the young people of your cityv | re-
ceived sixty replies and without ex-
ception all answered, The parents are
to blame"
A discussion followed and was partici-
pated in By some of the most prominent
judges of Juvenile courts in the country
At the Unitarian church report was
submitted on the Warfare against Tu-
berculosis.' This was read by DIR, L. I
Devine, director of the school OF Phil
anthrophy, New York.
Tuberculosis Institutions was the
subject of DR. Livingston Farrand, sec
retary of the National school OF phil
anthropy, who said:
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1905-07-17

DR.. Farrand discussed the problems
of tuberculosis in public institutions.
paying particular attention to prisons,
insane asylums and aims houses.
The construction in every state of
a special hospital sanitorium or farm,
favorably located and properly equip
ped for the treatment of tuberculosis
prisoners was urged and the transfer
of all consumptive criminals to such
institutions from the various jails, re-
formatories, and prisons.
Attention was called to the fact that
the authorities especially concerned
with the care of the insane are beeom-
ing aroused with the necessity of deal.
ing with the tuberculosis situation and
that special provision is made for such
patients with modern methods of treat
ment in number Of states. The suc-
cess of the open air treatment of the
insane was exemplifed by the expert
ment OF the Manhattan State Hospital
in New York city, where all active cases
of tuberculosis in the institution We're
kept in tents. throughout the year and
are found to improve both mentally and
physically.
1t was argued with regard to the sit
uation in both prisons and asylums
that the problem is even more one for
society at large than its relation to the
classes of unfortunates under discussion
"The open air sanitorium should be
sumptiyes was ably treated by DIR.
Woods Hutchinson, of Redlands, Cal
He said:
"The open air sanitarium should be
made the heaviest gun in the attack
against tuberculosis. Its keynote Is
getting away from house possession, "A
relic of the cave man and the dark ages.
"The tent is the ideal shelter for two
reasons. 1t gives the maximum Of fresh
air with the minimum of expense. Any
city of over 10000 people should have
and can easily afford its tent colony.
"Instead of treating eonsumptiyes in
the slums they should be shut out OF

patients, Then compel every victim to

own sake, but for that OF the com
munity"

interesting discussions we're led by
Rabbi stephen S. Wise, of Portland, and
Miss Harriet Fulmer, superintendent Of
