SOMETHING ABOUT WORK
OF THE JUVENILE Court

The good accomplished by the Juve-
nile Court is not confined TO the children
alone, but many parents, who previously
have seemed 80 think their duty 70
their offspring ended by providing food
n bed and sufficient clothing, have been
made to realize their moral responsible
itv. The result has been better home
conditions and a. closer bond between
parent and child. II is a wonderful
thing 10 see the faces Of some of these
parent- as they leave the court room,
realizing for the first time that the
Juvenile Court is not an institution 10
punish. but ono to help the unfortunate
one. We all know that help prodered
when we arc in deep trouble touches the
heart and awakens the conscience. Many
cases too numerous to relate could be
cited 10 show this One which came be-
fore tho court some time ago was where
the father applied for The custody of his
two BOYS. who since their mothers
death had been living with their married
sister in bad moral surroundings. It
was brought out in the testimony that
the father WAS a drinking man. The
Judge told the father plainly he could
not have the liquor and tho boys. too
and must make his choice. The father
wayorcd looked at the boys and then
az the Judge. but was silent. Decide
which YOU would rather have, the liquor
or your boys asked the Judge.
81 would rather have my boys, said
the father
"Vcrv we'll" replied the Judge, then
turning 10 the clerk he ordered paper
drawn up for the father 10 sign to the
effect that the custody Of tho children he
retained by the father so long as he
let liquor alone Since then this man
has not touched a drop Of liquor and
goes 10 church every Sunday. taking his
two boys with him.
Another case was brought 10 the no
ticc of the chief probation officer through
n small boy who came to the detention
home for shoes, which had been secured
for him so he could attend school. He
asked for second pair so n little girl
he knew could 90 TO school, too. A pro-
baton officer visited the home of this
little girl and found n most deplorable
condition existing there. The child and
her mother were living in one room with
a man who was not the woman's hus
band. A more dcsolate place it would
be hard to imagine. The man was out
of work and both he and the womanI
seemed hopeless and respondent. The
little girl was taken from them tempo
arlv and the couple were made 10 seeI
tho first necessary step TO be taken andl
to understand Il they had the desire 70
begin in the right way. n helping hand
would be extended them. They mar
ried, the husband obtained work, rented
n few rooms. the child was returned To-
their keeping and decent, respectable
life was begun. Today they have their
own home, the little girl attends school
regularly. and happiness reigns in the
household.
Is not such work, only one side Of
which is shown here, very much worth
our interest and support
