The final round of debate was be-
gun in the House today on the. johnson
bill for a revision OF the laws relat-
ing to the Juvenile Court In the District

on the bill. had charge OF the measure
today.
Step In Right Direction.

are set out In the report filed with the
House by the District Committee and
which was frequently consulted durins
the degate today. The report says In
"The present juvenile laws OF the Dis

and working injustice.
"The proposed bill rests upon a broad
posed to the present law. 1t announce

that the child who finds his way into

ton. whose Individual welfare coincides
with tho well-being OF the state. ana
should be saved to It rather than
prosecuted BY Il.
Aims To Help Child.
The present law Furnishes the child;
the proposed bill establishes n judicial
guardianship Of the child to protect and
help. not to punish and stlgmatize It,
Every provision in the bill has these
principles In view.
