TO LOOK AFTER JUVENILE OF
TENDERS LIKE BIG
BROTHERS,

The City Council did fine thing
at its meeting last week when it de.
cided to establish at once here a ju-
venile court wherein all youthful de-
linquents will be tried. The Review
has always contended that the boy
not yet hardened to crime should not
be thrown in connection with the
hardened criminal, because little act
of kindness and forethought on the
part of those in authority very often
turns the youthful law breaker from
the road of transgression to a useful
citizen, whereas if he is roughly treat
ed at first often goes the broad road
to ruin.
David II. Parsons has been named
as the first judge of mercy" and he
assumes his duties upon the first case
coming up.
