Again we beg the indulgence of our read
ers in calling their attention to Judge Lind
says story, occupying the chief enterest OF
the lovers of Everybody's Magazine. By
reading the installment in the current num-
Der OF this pubncatlOn, one gets into even
closer sympathy than ever, gaines a more
intelligent knowledge OF the noble work OF
this noble man and forms a greater appre-
citation of it's mighty result. His ideas OF
boy conservation, his great effort to turn
the degerate boy and girl into good morally
healthy, law abiding men and women, USE
| full to themselves and to their country, are
fundamental truths and would be we'll ap-
piled to all cases Of perVerslOn and degener-
acy whether in the family or IN the State.
| This fight of Judge Lindsay marks an epoch
| in the ethical treatment of the child, and his
story is valuable lesson to every one. SYM
pathy is the greatest keynote OF his teach
ing and upon this he plays until all the gamut
is sounded in perfect accord honor, PRIDE,
loyalty. Isn't this far better than the teach
ing Of fear slyness, untrutnIulness that is
elWays the outcome OF the brutallzlng treat
ment that, up to the time OF the Juvenile
Court, was practiced upon young miscreants
by the officers of the law. Judge Lindsay
has found it so anyway.
So far as his story has been told, the most
wonderful feature is the account OF MS put
ting his worst cases on honor to deliver
themselves at the Industrial school at Golden,
there to serve sentences put upon them.
The culprits were boys who, passed on pro-
baton, had failed, making their sending to
the reformery necessary under the very
rules of the game, - and the terms Of their
'deal'' with de judge" A little later the
judge tried the experiment Of giving these
boys their own commitment papers and
railroad tickets, putting them on their honor
once again in the face of their repeated fail
ures. The results were almost incredltable.
In eight years out of 507 cases. Judge
Lindsay writes, L had only five failures.
None of tn csc failures were outright and
none Of the boys were lost.
Its almost too good to be true, and we sc
can scarcely believe that the first step is
soon to be taken to make our own dear Gov
cessfut winter resort. The proposed big
hotel Tor winter tourists if properly equipped,
mana ged and advertised should be only the
first of several such hotels. Northern peo-
pie flock to the Carolina S in search OF respite
from their own bleak skies, snow storms
and blizzards. There tn ey find betterment
of conditions, but they still find ice and
snow. What will they find here? Don't
all speak at once, pleas e. Then these same
people of the frozen North troop down to
Florida. What find they there? Skies nc
bluer than ours, flow ers no fairer and a
cline warmer but not half as balmly and
health-giving. But they have magnificent
hotels, boating golf, and all the outdoor
sports they. love, and style, plenty Of style.
We can offer these sel1:-same Southern Wis
ltors the boating, fishing, golf, and other
outdoor delights, and in addition New Or
leans, it's shopping facilities, theatrical at
fractions and Carnival Now, do let us get
