A movement Is on foot TO install
women in New YOrk's judiciary system
And parallel 10 it is movement TO en-
large woman's sphere Of service among
those women brought to trial in the
city's night courts, legally assisting
those who need such assistance.
While such cities as Chicago and Los
Angeles have women sitting on the
bench at the childrcn's or the women's
court. there seems to be great difficulty
in removing the strong opposition to
the change in New York. But il was
found on investigation that the strong
est preventive 70 the success OF the
plan is the distrust which women have
for their own sex. And this distrust
has been decidedly acknowledged by
the men Of the court clerk, interpre-
ter. probationer and even judge, and
also by the women attaches, who con
stantly observe this very real partlality
Of women for men, which is perhaps
natural. says Mrs Jean Norris, lawyer,

IN discussing the bill which would pro

who should take care Of girls generally
spoken of as "wayward," and any
other cases 20 which the judge may
assign them, there are not enough OF
these cases. Girls under eighteen come
under this law, which treats OF '353
cases. There are 1000 cases IN all
tried each year at this court. And OF
those in 1911 only forty-seven we're OF
