small. spotlessly clean little corner with
a cot reserved for the man who has
made the place possible for these
bright-eyed. hopeful youngsters. If
they know you well, they'll tell you
rather shyly what the judge" has done
for them; and if you have any tender
ness in you for the condolences of boys,
you'll have hard work keeping the tears
from your eyes as you catch the note OF
love i'm their voices every time they
mention 1.-The judge"
When one has spent day at Can
yon Crest he never wonders again that
these boys cling to the place with af-
lection as the best and only real home
they know.
Morris School Established.
Another outgrowth OF the Brown
method is the Norris school. He says:
"One evening the court found itself
in possession of seven children. whose
condition made It imperative that they I
should be detained in some other place |
than Jail or industrial school The |
two smaller children were placed ia (
the home for infants, conducted by the /
Infants Home and Protective asSOcia- |
ton. After a great deal of trouble the |
others were placed in family homes.
The court realized that this manner /
OF conduct could not be made perma-
neEt go when twelve, boys were thus in \
charge of the court, all needing q tenn 1
rorary place of detention, the Judge /
locked around for home
"A magnificent old mansion was I
found vacant Great high ceilings. !
spacious rooms and a large yard in
vted further inspection and investiga- /
ton. When approached. the owner |
Mr.. Hayward, made such favorable |
terms that il was possible. to secure |
this splendid place. Next four furni- /
ture dealers were visited No sooner |
was the need explained to them than |
they volunteered to equip the place so /
that twelve boys could be cared for /
Other firms furnished linen. night /
shirts. towels. dishes hardware, etc"
Part of the expense of maintaining |
the Morris school is borne by the par /
ents Of boys that are sent there The |
balance comes out of the city treasury |
Here the boys are given a chance to |
show whether they ought to be sent
TO the industrial school or whether |
they have manhood enough TO work |
out their salvation at home. The aver
age length Of detention is thirty DAYS. /
and it is a source of satisfaction to all
IL terested i'm juvenile betterment work
to know that In only a small percent
age of the cases is it found necessary
to send the boys to the industriali
school.
Newhouse Juvenile League.
The third and latest monument to
Judge Browns efforts is the club
house of the Newhouse Juvenile
Betterment league. Here is home for
boysawho have no homes and who are
to support themselves. The
building was leased and equipped bv
Samuel Newhouse, through whose gen
erosity many improvements have been
installed or are under way Among
these are a gymnasium. a swimming
tank. reading room and other features
calculated to appeal TO the heart of the
homeless boy. Through the league boys
who could not be reached by any other
influence are reached.
Here they secure comfortable board
and lodging at the lowest possible rate
