S0NTAG'S VIEWS ON

To the Editor:

~ tue EullOT,
Logan. April l0.--Last winter from
where sat at my desk ! could see pass

youths, between Is and l6 years Of age.

about the same time OF the day. /
made inquiry about them, and learned
that they were ticket of leave men. or
probationaries from that tribunal--cre-
ated by and through the efforts OF men
and women who know nothing of the
joys and trials of the parents OF this
country, in rearing family Of children

| cultivated the ACQUAINTANCE OF those
youths, and learned that in their own
homes they were thoughtful of the
rights of their parents and brothers and
sisters. but when away from home they
were mschievous, nothing vicious or
bad about them, just ordinary boys,
that would tin can dog and play
hooky from school. All these boys re-
qulred was a well administered fog
cling.
Just think of II; a court established
by legislative tinkering that deprives
parents of that right which Is youch-
safed 10 us by the highest OF all
the divine law. which perhaps some of
those misguided advocates of juvenile
courts, may have heard of IN their
younger days,
/ claim that Juvenile courts will raise
up class of men and women. who will
have wholesome contempt for jails
and prisons. Wherever child is
dragged into n court by probationary
officer, and is lectured by coarse
voiced semi-hrutal man, that child Is
pushed down several degrees IN the
social scale.
