apapts for them. The Chiidrsn's Court story tells of siothful or yieious pa. rents and influences that have hedgsd the child about. dwerfed his existsnoes and robbed him of the sunay side Of life that 10 supposed to be his hsri- taee. It is against thsse conditions that this great humane txibunal Is con. staptly doing battle. The fault 10 rarely the chiid's that he has been. set in . course which. If unchecked. would lead to jail or the almshouss. The Chiidren's Court, too. has upset much of the old theory of heredity. Observation of more than 10000 eases has convinced all connected with the New York Children's Court that envi- ronment counts at least nine-tenths. The justices. who in turn preside over this court. treat each case. so far as possible. in accordance with its indi- vidual requirements and with view to the chiid's future good. But. with between 5000 and 10000 children
 coming before the court each year, no one judge, nor no six judges. nor no score of parole officsrs, can keep in personal touch with all the children for any length of time. The magni- tude of the courts business requires that even with the child that has been placed on parole ono or two things must happen before many weeks--he must finally be released under sus. pension of sentence or be committed to an institution. often following the release of the courts hold there comes a most critical time for the child. Then Is thu chief danger that he may lapse into the old associations and fall again under the sway of influences that first got him into trouble. . So. when the forty men heard the story of their city's Childrens Court 4 k> hrptRhf them that the tenement child was their neighbor and something of the responsibility was theirs. someone asked. "Is there anything we can do?' And the answer was: If each man here will take an interest in just one boy who has been in trouble. and be . sort of big brother. 1t will be of great service" That Is the way that the pig broth- err movement started. What the or- ganizers and their friends have done for the lads of New York city will be | interestingly described by MT. Coulter. who knows more about this plan than any other one man.
