GOOD CITIZENSHIP
AIDED BY COURTS
SPEAKER BEFORE NATIONAL
CONFERENCE OF CHARITIES
SAYS JUVENILE COURTS HELP
Juvenile Courts Act as "pafens par
trse" Over Homeless and Way
ward Children.

BUFFALO, N. Y, June Ito
many delegates attending the sessions
of the National Conference of Charities
and Correction here who have follow
ed the development of Juvenile Courts
in the United States during the past
decade, the address of Judge William
II. DeLacy of the Juvenile Court of the
District of Columbia, was significant
of tendency to broaden the scope Of
such courts.
This children's Judge of the. National
Capital insisted that courts such as
the one over which he presides must
become aids to good citizenship. "The
Juvenile Court" said he, "is born Of
the realization that during childhood
the young are in a formative period In
which they may develop good habits,
and for infractions of law they should
receive correction, rather than punish
ment. Now correction involves the
idea of adjustment of conduct to APP
proved standards; involves the idea of
education and culture, and herein lies
the opportunity of such courts to aid
good citizenship. This court exercis-
ing the chancery powers of the state
as parens patriae places needy little
ones bereft of their parents under
proper care and guardianship, and
rescues children from vicious or i'm
moral surroundings.
"These courts punish adults who de-
bauch the young or influence them to
illegal acts; they enforce the child
labor legislation intended for the con-
servation of childhood; they enforce
the laws requiring the husband and
father to support the wife and child
ren. They aim to so intelligently
handle the children who have violated
the laws of the state as to correct
their evil doings and save these child
rem to themselves and to community.
In a painstaking manner, they instruct
the children in their duties and in their
rights, and strive to awaken their self
respect From the Juvenile Court, it
is hoped that our citizens of tomor-
row will derive knowledge and imbibe
a spirit of obedience to the laws of
their country. This truly educative
function makes the Juvenile Court the
demands in the judge, the qualities Of
the jurist, teacher, socioliogist and
philanthropist'

ATTACK ON FUNSTON
MURDEROUS INTENT
Soldiers Who Understand Conditions
Believe That Man Who Was
Caught in House Was Would
Be Assassin.
LEAvENWORTH,
Be Assassin,

FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kas.,
June 12.-Many officers of this post
believe the attack upon General
Frederick Funston at his home sew
eral nights ago was made with mur-
Gcrous intent. AS a result of this oe-
lief the guard about the officers quar-
ters has been doubled and every eff
fort is being made to prevent repe-
liton CT the occurrence.
Funston surprised a man in his bed
chamber recently ard drove him from
the house after a lively exchange OF
shots. While Funston makes light of
tho incident, it is the impression OF
officers that the attack was made by
4 former soldier whom Funston sem
fenced TO prison while he was at the
Preside, in San Francisco.
