Juvenile COURT
help IS ASKED
Judge Latimer Says Commit

Should Be Formed.
PITTSBURGH PLAN CITED
Mothers Congress Also Is Told that
Five More Probation Officers
Are Needed.
PITTSBURGH PLAN CITED

The cooperation Of men and women
residents OF Washington, with the aid of
five additional probation officers, is
needed to reduce the number Of second
offenses to the point where the Juvenile
Court will be ideal, declared Judge j.
Wilmer Latimer, OF the Juvenile Court, in
a speech yesterday at the first meeting
this season of the District branch of the
Mothers Congress at the Raleigh Hotel
Conditions under which the Juvenile
Court work in the District now must be
done are deplprable," said Judge Latimer.
There is great need of representative
men and women of the city interesting
themselves in this courts problems and
aiding in reforming present conditions.
The Judge of the Juvenile Court should
not have TO be a lobbyist. A committee
like the Juvenile Court committee Of
Pittsburgh would relieve him OF the ne
cessity for being one.
IAN association for following up boys
and girls released from correctional in
stitutions and from probation also is
sadly needed here. Now, the child Is
released from a correctional institution,
where il costs the District a large sum
Of money 10 keep and train il, and is left
without supervision to go back to the old
environment again to oegm the COM
HllsslOn OF petty crimes. lueTe SnUui1
be an organization for the purpose of
helping these small offenders to avoid
backsliding."
One of the members of the Mothers
Congress told Judge Latimer that Mrs.
Fred Dubois had started a Big Broth
ers' and Sisters movement in connec-
tion with the Mothers Congress. He
answered that this could well be made
the nucleus of an Incorporated or
ganization. which, under his direction.
could be made a powerful instrument
for the saving Of wayward children
to good citizenship.
For More Probation Officers.
Judge Latimer emphasized the fact
that the Juvenile Court at present is
almost powerless TO accomplish the
work before IL by reason of it's in
sufficient force OF probation officers.
There are now three such officers.
Eight. at least, are needed. Judge
Latimer said. and, even with eight,
each officer would have fifty children
to look after. Five of these officers
should be women. he said. and the re-
ligious question ought to be frankly
met by giving equal representation on
the force of probation officers to
Catholics, PrOtestants, and Jews. There
should, further, be a colored officer, he
said.
Announcement was made at the meet
ing by DIR. Elnora c. Folkmar. that
