JUVENILE COURT WORK.
Interesting Address BY Judge Brown Of
Salt Lake City.

Judge Willis B. Brown of the juvenile
court of Salt Lake City gave an adj
dress upon the work of the juvenile
courts at City hall Wednesday evening
under the auspices of the Young W.
mems League of the Congregational
church. Judge Brown was introduced
by A. w. Brooks, chairman of the 10
cal Board OF Education and spoke very
entertainingly in discussing his sub
ject.
He named as the three things which
should be considered in the treatment
of a juvenile delinquent: How Dan
gerous is He?" Where Did He Get he
Disease?" and. How Shall We Save
the Boy?" He emphasized system
rather than sentiment in dealing with
the delinquent and said that the boy
should be educated instead of punish
ed. You cannot reform by punish
ment, you can only reform by educa
tion," said the speaker.
In developing his subject Judge
Brown brought out the unfairness of
considering minor incapable of act
ing in civil transaction and yet hold
ing him guilty as criminal, after he
was seven years of age.
Juvenile courts" said Judge Brown
ARE necessary to protect society, to
stop the growth OF crime, and to find
out who is making the delinquent boy
or girl
He traced the growth of the Juvenile
court system in different states and
spoke in some detail of it's workings
in Salt Lake City. He spoke of the
need of a juvenile court in the larger
cities of Maine and said that the bill
at present pending in the Maine Legis-
lature embodied some of the best fea
lures of the systems in other states
Judge Browns remarks We're enlivened
by fund OF ready wit and grist of
stories bearing upon the subject that
were full of human interest.
