Burning of Rosedale Building Causes
200 Pupils to Be Distributed Among
Other Buildings Until New House Is
Complete-Many Pupils Will Attend
the Fair. -.' ."1 d.

To the Minneapolis school children
who are able to withstand the allure
ments of the state fair tomorrow means
the resumption Of studies, for with the
exception of the Rosedale school, de-
stroyed by fire Saturday evening, every
public school building in the city will
be thrown open tomorrow morning for
the first day Of the school year.
At $3.50 o'clock in the high school
buildings and at 8 in the other build
ings the work of the year will COM
mence.
The children Of the Rosedale district
are in class by themselves, the envy
of their less fortunate schoolmates, as
the result of Saturdays fire, but it was
announced by the board Of education to-
day that arrangements for the care Of
the 200 Rosedale pupils will be made at
once and the joy which. has resulted
from the unexpected respite from work
will be short lived. The board will
probably arrange for the attendance Of
the Rosedale pupils at the Margaret
til the new Rosedale building, which is
rapidly nearing completion, is finished.
Effect on Registration. q"
The state fair will undoubtedly have
a decided effect on registration during
the first week, but in the opinion Of
school authorities more than $4,000 pu-
pills will be enrolled in the schools bv
the end of next week, an increase Of
more than 1900 over last years record.
Thirty-fve new teachers have been en-
gagged in expectation of large increase
in attendance.
With the opening of school talk has
revived concerning the advisability Of
starting the school year during fair
week. Many high school students have
procured jobs on the fairgrounds and
these, together with the pupils who take
fair week as an excuse to delay their
enrolment in school, will have decid-
ed effect on attendance during the first
week.
A well-known local minister suggest
ed this morning that the children
should be given a chance to see the fair
accompanied by teachers who could ex-
plain the different exhibits and features

he should not for that reason be excluded from the membership of such institutions, but, on the contrary should be encour- aged to attend A judge should be able to commit 8 boy to the attendance upon Boys club where educational and social advantages are offered, as he is legally empowered to commit him to an indus trial school Thus the boy may receive proper guidance and instruction without any special charge to the state for his maintenance, while he remains in his natural environment, which is the best means of making him strong and self reliant and the parent retains his proper function of caring and providing for ms child-a responsibility that should not be taken away from him except under the most aggrayating circumstances. Then. q room or house should be secured for the separate detention of juvenile delinquents awaiting trial.
 No influence so baneful could well be exerted as that of the older criminal upon the youth while being locked Up together in the jail. In large number of our states 1t is forbidden absolutely by law to put children with older offenders in jail. The Industrial school of this state is a splendid institution under most excellent management the judges of this state can freely and consoientiously com init delinquent youth to this school for their betterment, which cannot be said as truly of every other state in the union. But 1t Is to be hoped that it's future de- velopment will be along the village or cottage system. and that the legislature will continue to set aside ample appro- prlations unto that end. However, an ounce of prevention Is better than pound of cure, the juvenile court, the proba- ton system and the detention home are preventive measures.

determining the character and conduct Of an individual. However. there are ab- normal children who seem to be almost totally void of the moral sense and the social instinct. It Is as criminous to pun ish these moral imbeciles for their anti social acts as it would be to punish the idiotic or the insane for their lack Of comprehension. The public school may not be the proper place for their educa- ton, but certainly not the jail. Segrega- ton for the protection of society and for their own good may be absolutely necessary. but that in institutions, ana with a treatment, similar in character ana purpose to those for the feeble-minded and the insane. Great care should pc taken, therefore in the examination or the juvenile delinquent to determine the extent to which he may be personally held accountable for his delinquency, whether he is such from instinct or be- cause of his environment. his associations and his lack of proper training and edu- cation, and his case should be disposed or and the treatment prescribed only after thorough investigation and mature de- liberation of these facts.

The judge Is not so much a fudge as he Is a kind friend and sympathetic counselor. The examination is held at a separate time. when the judge is free from the unconscious psycho- logical influence which he Is subject to as a human being during the trial of adult and hardened criminals. He presides over the Juvenile court session in the con scious spirit of dealing exclusively with childhood who are in many respects ire sponsible for their transgressions and who are in need rather of kindness than severity, of suggestion than stern 1udg- ment, of education than punishment. Tne child is not advised to plead not gullty that the usual series of questions and objections of a cross-examination may determine whether he is so or not He IS rather encouraged to be frank and non est-the first evidences of true repentance and a better resolve. He Is approacheo with a kindness that is firm, he Is drawn into a conversation that is free and nat ural. he Is reasoned with as to the best way to make him a better boy, and he usually accepts the decision of the Judge a s being just and for his own good, even when entrusted with his own commitment papers, he Is sent. without guard, to the State Industrial school

 In one of the ultra fashionable uptown hotels wealthy young woman entered a game with some friends. and in a few hours she lost several hundred dollars She did not seem to realize that the debt was one of honor, and when she rose from the table she passed the matter off joke She really did not consider the game in any other light than that of amusement, but her friends had. and they were consequently enraged. The result was that the loser was almost if not en- tirely, ostracised from her set. and her name was stricken from the calling lists of a large number of women who had heard of her action.
 An incident which caused considerable gossip at the time came to my personal notice at a fashionable shore resort last summer One of the well known mem bers of the social set appeared on the scene with a very handsome lace scarf. upon which she was selling chances for the benefit of a distressed gentlewoman.' The scarf perhaps worth S16. was sup posed to bring several hundred in chances. The exact amount of what 1t must bring was eternally dinned into the ears of all who would listen. No person at tho re- sort, not even the most inquistive. could get an lnkling as to where the assistance was to go. That the scarf was rafhed off and the money used for something was evident but to all inquiry the an- swer came. "It is for gentlewoman In reduced circumstances, and we would save her the humiliation of exposing her name" Although the matrons conduct ing the philahthropic move were above reproach as to social standing, that fact did not save them from being the target of very pointed remarks, especially from the men friends who had been cajoled Into buying chances for the unknown gentleWoman.

 Spirit of Independence.
 Writes Prof H. H. Boyesen, himself naturalized American citizen in 'Proo- lens of American Civilizations" There is a spirit of irrepressible independence Tn the air and it is unduly stimulated by boyish associates by the text books Tn the schools, and by the political life Wnich also fosters an excessive sense or dignity. irrespective of intellectual and moral worth" In the offspring of study, inde- pendence-loving pioneers and of immi-
 grants with nomadic and adventurous
 tendencies, Is dominant that spirit or
 liberty which, when not wisely checked
 and guided naturally resolves itself into
 Irresponsible independence" and for that
 reason makes the problem of the Ameri- can boy peculiarly difficult or solution
 But that solution must be patiently
 worked out. not by a gradation Of pun
 ishments nicely adjusted to the degrees of
 offenses. but by education needful in pro-
 nortfon to the unfavorabe conditions un-
 der which a child of tender years Is be-
 ing reared Free lecture course In our
 public schools, mothers and fathers
 clubs in our social settlements and
 churches, directing physical and psycho-
 logical examinations of pupils in our pub
 lic schools and the study of their social
 environments, the establishment of special
 classes for defective pupils and for those
 who live under disadvantageous circum-
 stances, early practical training In the
 fundamental principles of self-govern-
 ment. the development of the social in- stinct and the moral sense through the
 hovs, and girls clubs and the Sunday
 school. and the application of educational as well as punitive methods in our
 courts for the prevention of juvenile de- lInouency through the establishment of Juyenile courts and the probation sys- tem-these are the means of securing for the child the rights of being understood and of a proper education and wise treatment.

 or he may become a friendly visitor of the home, a co-operator with the parent, the school teacher Or the employer, and
 an interested partner In the thoughts and
 things that make up the summum bonum
 of a boys life and thus guide him tact
 fully and naturally, with the aid of his family his teacher or his employer into the path of good conduct and noble en- , deavor No one is better fitted for this work than an intelligent worker with boys in a Boys club or social settlement. He has the means at his disposal in his club
 house to attract, to interest and to de- velop the boy, individually and socially.
 He has acquired the art, or rather pos sesses the temperament, to win boy, and to bring the best that is in him to the surface However, the plan of having but one paid chief probation officer with corps of volunteer probation officers Is a good one and can be operated sue cessfully. There are many practical and humanitarian business men who possess the interest and the tact to win a boy and who may readily be induced to take charge of one of these boys each and make hIm his special protege. With this arrangement the chief probation officers duties would consist in keeping the rec ords of the juvenile court and in obtain ing the cooperation of capable. public spirited citizens as volunteer probation officers, keeping constantly in touch with them in all the details of the work. Thus the operation of this system may be pre- vented from becoming mechanical and real interest and enthusiasm may be kept alive without any danger of anyone be- coming lease hardened" or doing his work in a perfunctory manner. because of the large number of probationers placed in his care This method is in most success ] fuI operation in Indianapolis, which city | has a juvenile court presided over exclu- | sively by Judge George w. Stubb who seems to be most eminently fitted for this l juvenile work.
 Not Only Thing Needed.
 But efficient work of paid or volunteer ! nrobation officers is not the only thing needful for the successful operation of I this court The establishment and the | co-operation of child-saving institutions such AIS our Boys club, or, better still, social settlements. improving the boy not 1 on1v personally. but also his home and neighborhood conditions, is absolutely im- nerative. No stigma should be placed mon the boy because he is on probation l for some offense that he has committed;
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-02-25

educational rather than a punitive in- stitution. The boy Is given to under stand that he Is brought there because he has committed an offense which IS harmful to himself even more than to society. that he is not being condemned to punishment but that he is being req soned with as to the best ways and means to make him a good man and an honor- able, self-sustaining citizen. Thus the old method of appealing to his fear of punishment is not relied upon to keep our delinquent boy in restraint, but his reason his better nature his innate love of fair play, are appealed to- and thls method of treatment makes for strength of character, for true lfberty-lovlng man hood and for intelligent, law-abiding cit- zenship.
 The greatest need however, of juve- nile court judge is that of a number of intelligent and capable assistants, called probation officers. The first duty of the probation officer is, subject to the direc- tion of the court, to investigate the cir crmstances surrounding the offense and the character, reputation and environ ment of the young offender. full re- port of this investigation Is made by hlm to the judge before the youthful delin- ouent appears before him for trial. Upon this investigation the magistrate largely hases his Judgment as to the final dispo- sition of the case. If, for instance, the home environment of the boy is good, and he gives promise of better behavior in the future, then the judge may sus- pend sentence upon him and put him in charge of a probation officer; but if that environment is degrading, then he may decvide it to be for the best interests of the boy to commit him to the Industrial school. Thus the child's associations. his habits his reputation and his school rec ord are taken into account, and all these details are collected by the probation of f1cer. That such thorough investigation of these circumstances by an intelligent and capable probation officer consider ably lightens the burden of responsibility of conscientious judge Is obvious, espe- cially in large city where he is unac- ouainted with these conditions of the large number of youths appearing before him daily.
 Must Watch the Boys.
 Another duty of the probation officer Is to keep in touch with those boys whom the judge has placed in his charge Or pro- bation. This IS his most important task It depends upon him solely how much or how little of his personality and per- sonal interest enters into his work, how conscientious he Is and how tactful. He may have his probationer report to him
