SEES MENACE
IN PERJURY OF
JUVENILE COURT

tainly revealed and her education
must begin.
Detroit, so beautiful and so i'm
posing, has some places that will not
bear inspection | refer to the homes
of dependent mothers. This condi-
tion exists because of a mistaken pol
icy of economy the juvenile court has
adopted in its administration OF the
mothers pension law here. This
great law adopted by Michigan, one
of the models of the world is not util-
lied. II provides that a dependent
mother may have an ample pension
so she may improve her home and
raise her children according TO Amer
lean standards. But we find the jul
venile court utilizing the law to es-
tablish standards which have de-
stroyed Mexico. The law is here, the
money Is here, and Detroit can abol-
ish the poverty Of every one of its
dependent children, establish homes,
keep mother and children together in
happiness and the cost will be less
than the old poverty, dirty way that
the Juvenile court has adopted.
"The juvenile court Judge has an
.lIldl Ht 10 az
tempting to keep the pensions down
to So week for a mother and all her
children. He says he is trying TO
save the state money. But he is
wasting money. To save money at
the expense OF dependent mothers
and their children is as wasteful. as
to use no oil in an automobile. There
must be abundance OF oil: any other
policy is wasteful automobile man
agement.
Detroit, so great a city, still has
poverty -children and this Is as de
structive as sand in the gear box OF
$4,000 automobile.
II am here in an attempt to call
public attention to the great pension
law that Michigan has adopted. It's
possibilities and its misuse by the
Juvenile court, which apparently is
attempting TO preserve the poverty
standard and poverty psychology in
the homes and souls of dependent
mothers of the greatest city in Amer
lea"
