SEEK PLAN TO REDUCE
JUVENILE COURT CASES
Officials of That Tribunal Working
on Project to Hold Down
Crime Records.

Fewer charges against juvenile law
breakers are apt to be preferred in
the Juvenile Court in the future if the
efforts of that tribunal to handle a
larger number of cases informally are
successful. Mrs. Edna X. Bushee, pro-
bait officer of the court, in an ad-
dress last night before the northern
conference of the Associated Charities,
at the Grover Cleveland School, stated
that effort is being made to reduce the
number of formal charges. so that
crime records may not stand against
children whose faults have been cor
rected. Especially is this effort being
made. she said, in the case of girls
whose cases are brought to the atten-
tion of the court.
Mrs. Bushee praised the Associated
Charities for it's cooperation with the
court, and declared that cooperation
on the part of all organizations inter-
ested in the social and moral develop
ment of the capital will do much
toward solving the problem of juvenile
delinquency.
