Our Juvenile Court.
BY r. F. Beasley, State Commi
missioner of Public Welfare.

IilC uNcllilc Coulu Is lllc lllcullS
whereby it is found that depend,
ent, neglected and delinquent
children can best be saved from
lives of failure and disaster and
made to grow into useful a n d
law abiding citizens.
This is very good for the child;
all will admit it. 1t is equally good
for society. Paupers and crimi-
nails are liabilities to the tax pay
ers. Law abiding citizens are an
asset.
The juvenile court principle is
now being applied all over the u
nited States and in foreign coun-
tries. 1t is one of the great for
ward steps of the age, and the
most important advance in court
methods in many years. 1t can
no more be checked than the
public school. 1t is here to stay
and to be improved.
The juvenile court can't save
every child. But it has been pro.
ven that when thesystem isprop-
erly carried out it will save sew
enty five per cent of them. That
, is more than worth the money.
1t costs the tax payers ten
times as much to capture, try,
punish and maintain an adult
criminal as it does to save a iu-
venile delinquent.
All the children in North Caro-
lima under sixteen years of age
, who are delinquent, neglected or
dependent, are under the juris
F diction of the juvenile court.
, Every juvenile court has a pro.
, baton officer whose busines it i,
F., to investigate every case of sucl
> children, lay the facts before the
Judge, and then carry out the de
. cision of the court. This is called
probation work.
9 The court stands in the rela
, ton of parent to such children
and will discipline guide and con
e trol them through probation, just
+. as a wise father would.
5 The court may punish a chile

poor Advantages for an education.
The County Tree schools held only
two or three months during each
year But there welled up into his
youthful life a desire to be educated
that drove him thru the wilderness
and over the mountains in search OF
a school Of learning. There filtered
thru the scattered mountain folk
knowledge that somewhere beyond
the Pine and Cumberland Noun
tains, school called Tusculum Col
loge was open to poor mountain boys
in search of an education. There
was no Union College, Baptist Insti-

There were no railroads here then.

their log house he arose very early.
