CORDELE'S JUVENILE COURT.
The establishment of a juvenile
court for the city of Cordele advances
our little city one step higher in the
things which go to make for better
conditions in child welfare and public
morals 1t is indeed gratifying to
| club women and others who have
espoused and fostered the cause OF
| the juvenile court, to realize that in
accordance with an act of the legisla-
| ture these courts must be established
| in the towns throughout the state. In
| a years time from their establish
| ment, report from the courts will
show the need of them. Usually there
are two probation officers, women, con-
nected with the juvenile court one for
the whites and one of the colored peo-
pie, whose work comes under the SUI
pervision of the Judge of the court,
and whose duty it is to go into homes
and investigate the delinquency of
! children Quite often it is found that
home environments are responsible for
delinquency when parents are unfit,
according to judgment of probation Of
| ficers and the judge to bring up their
children, such children become wards
| of the state until proper homes can
be found for them. Parents in such
:! homes are severely upbraided and
many times severely dealt with. While
the juvenile court is not charitable
institution, it does provide for chill
Gren in its care until they can be plac-
| ed in proper homes. With juvenile
court the necessity of trying young
offenders of the law with hardened
criminals is done away with. 1t is
source of qualification that Cordele
has a juvenile court.
