PROVESHELP TO !.
juvenile COURT.
Judge Whitney Aided in Dealing
With Young DeIinauents BY
Cooperation of Citizens

One OF the most important features
of Circuit Judge Whitney's work in
, the last year has been his effort to
improve the character Of the city's un-
fortunate children, those who by evil
environment and companionship have
become maynard and in many instan-
ces assumed the role of juvenile cri-
minals. 5.... 49,. ..........
This department of Judge Whitney's
official activity has become truly a
court of correction. Judge Whitney
himself has assumed the part of a
big Brother" to the erring little fell
lows and within the last twelve
months has adopted system and
formed an informal but strong organi-
Zation OF Big Brothers" which aids
him materially. in the business of try
ing to save the character of the young
sters 49,
The Big Brother" idea has been
under test on the mainland for sew
eral years and apparently has given
satisfaction. So far as tried here it
has shown merit. 1t consists simply
in enlisting the assistance of big
hearted men and women who agree
to act as guides, counsellors and
friends" for the Maynard boys and
girls. .@t>.@:.. -.
A lad is assigned to some business
man. The boy may be taken into the
mans private home, though that is not
always necessary. but the big Bro.
Their" becomes the youngsters conf
dent, finds work for him or puts him
into school, and in other ways treats
the boy as if that relationship actu-
ally existed between them. A large
number of boys and girls have found
brothers and sisters in this way, and
while the system has been in use here
only a short time it apparently Is CIV
ing high satisfaction.
Reprimands, probation and the big
Brother" system are employed to their
limit in the effort to save the chill
dren, the reform school following only
as last resort. The reform schools
accomplished great good, but the ju-
venile offenders are sent there only
when big Brother" advice and re-
peated probations fail. 1t is only when
they are sent to these institutions that
the Juvenile courts work becomes ac-
ludllJ PutlISttC. s-,t. .sSs :
For every hayward little girl who
has faced Judge Whitney in the last
year, six boys have been hailed be-
fore him for a serious talk or lecture
or perhaps reformatory school SEN
tence. The total number Of cases ham
died IN the twelve months was 356,
and of these only so were girls. These
figures are deceptive, however, for not
nearly that number of children faced
the Judge; a considerable number
proved more or less incorrigible and
were tried out on probation two, three
or four times before being finally sent
to reform school. Each of these hear
ings goes down in the figures as
case.
One hundred and twenty-three boys
and girls were hailed into juvenile
court for larceny and similar offenses.
BY race the offenders were: Hawaii
an. 155 Portuguese, 10; Chinese, SO;
Japanese, %, and other nationalities,
30.
For first offenses there were 264
children; second, 81: third, II; fourth,
seven; fifth and sixth, two and seventh
and eighth, two.

CIRCUS UNL00SENS

Youngster Had Baffed All
Attempts to Get His
Real Story.

NEW YORK. May AFTER nearly
a month Of work, superintendent Err.
nest X. Coulter of the Children's So
ciety has solved one Of the hardest
problems he has met. Nearly a month
ago a slight. soft-yoiced lad, who gave
his name as George Devil1a and his ma,
ttonality as Spanish, was picked up
In the Grand Central Palace. The
frail little fellow gave his age as Ii,
but looked to be about 10.
For day the stories the boy told led
to investigation in Albany, Utica, on
the river front and in Spantsh.Amer'
lean hotels, but all efforts failed to
bring out hisTtrue history.
Circus Brought Results
One day recently Mr.. Coulter sato
to the boy: 81 am going to send you

He went, and when he came back

was he for this great treat. new expe'
rience. He told his story:
after MIR. Coulter was SO good ia
me, l knew that he would not send
me back to the mines. I was born in
Leon, Spain, and lived there till was
five, when we came over to Panama.
My father worked on the canal until
he got killed in an accident. l worked
for a while as water carrier, but it was
too hard. MY mother got married
again and two years ago we all came
to New York. Then We went to Al
bany and then to- Utica. My stepfath'
er could not get work and finally he
took us doyn to West Virginia where
he got work In a coal mine.
He got a Job for me there too. and
