Change To Be Made In the
Child Laws
Enlarged Jurisdiction To Be
Given Juvenile Court

When the next legislature convenes
the Ohio State commission for the
codihcation and revision of laws re-
hating to children will recommend the
passage of laws making it prohibitive
to bond boys or girls until they be-
come of age.
This Is one of the most startling
recommendations which have been
adopted by the commission, consisting
of Judge Daniel Babst of Crestline and
A. d. Baldwin of Cleveland appointed
by Governor Harmon.
The old European custom of "A par
ont, or guardian OF a child, indenturing
the youngster to mechanic of farmer,
nntil the charge became of age, which
was adopted in Ohio as well as other
states, will be repealed under the new
code. the authority hereafter will on
ly rest with the various reformatory
institutions. No child can be com
mitted to any institution without legal
steps. The commission recommends
the abolishment of the board of visit
ors In each county of the state.
The code will increase the powers
OF the juvenile court Of Ohio. The
latter will have no right to commit a
child to any institution unless the
same shall have passed satisfactory
examination by the proposed board
of children's guardians. The latter
will have full power over the care of
all dependent and neglected children
in Ohio. Any institution receiving
funds from municipality shall not
place out any of its children without
authority through the state board. In
this manner Ohio will keep a record
of what becomes of all children who
are public charges. Township trus.
tees will have no authority to take
children away from their parents or
surrender them to foster parents. This
right will rest with the juvenile court
