WORK OF BOYS COURT
First Three Weeks of Experiment
Proving Great Success.

CHICAGO, Apr. accomplishing it
third week of operation today, IT.,
| boys court, the only tribunal of it
kind in America, was heartily endors
ed by jurists, police officials, and SO
biologists who have watched with keel
interest the work of the new court
Under the direction of Municipal Judge
Thomas F. Scully the boys court has
taken charge of cases of all mall: Of
| tenders of either the state laws OF
city ordinances, between the ages OF
II and 81 years. The results thus far
obtained, social workers believe, will
lead other large cities to establish a
boys court, fashioned after the local
bench.
The prime object of the new court
is to save the first offender, whose
age would bar him from harihearing
in the juvenile court, and previously
REQUIRED his case to be heard in either
the municipal or criminal cocrts. In
the words of Judge Scully, the inten-
ton of the boys court is to have
"save a boy from himself and from
society for the benefit of both"
The offenders brought before Judge
Scully are made to feel that the
court stands ready to help them out
of their difficulties if they will "play
SQUARE" The court recognizes the
spirit of adventure that pervades
the nature of every healthy lad and
does not seek to curb it, but rather to
direct this potential force along the
rights lines to win the youths friend
shin and to make him know he is to
be directed along the path of good
citizenship.
The boy brought before the court is
shown that there are many, many ways
for the spirit of adventure to express
itself that do not conflict with the
law. but, even more, mean health and
of body and mind, and in
creased efficiency and usefulness
When the first impulse of the spirit
brings the boy into court, he is not
sentenced as a malefactor, although
he may be punished by confinement.
His sentence does not carry nm
among hardened criminals, from whom
he may absorb the real spirit toward
law and order of animosity toward law
and order, but gives him chance to
prove that he can be an upright, hon
orable citizen.
"If a boy is sent to jail" said Mrs
Joseph t. Bowen, who was one OF the
agitators for the establishment Of the
boys court, there is every chance
@ believe he will emerge a harden
ID criminal, his life warped and wreck
ID bv evil associates and surround

The advisability of maintaining
public defender of all boys brought I
nto his court is being seriously ;on-
idered His work would be to End
ut all the extenuating circumstances

or the best interests of the defendant
