FINE WORK BY COMMISSIONERS

a. mssioners who voted last evening 10 permit the

OF me public becae had that action not been taken, -
would have meant that later this chief public
utility would have passed into the hands OF receivers and
much higher fare would have been accompaniment Of

OUR JUVENILE COURT AND ITS work

4 TNDER the wise administration of Judge William S.
~ Prickett the Juvenile Court Of THE city continues
10 perform it's highly benencent function.
It's processes in dealing with young denquents are fea-
tured by and based upon the hearty
desire Of the judge that it shall serve as reformative
rather than a punitive agent
Wilmington parents who so unfortunate as TO have
way'Vard boys and girls should show keen appreca-
tion by giving 10 him constructive cooperation which
will make for a better city
Nor is that ALL The judge should have the unfailns
support OF all the and women in Wilmington in
his EFFORT 10 prevent Juvenile wayw1rness from develop
ing into adult crimnalty.
II is diflcut to conceive OF a much higher function
than is that which usually is performed by Juvenile
Court judge A member OF the bench who spends his
time endeavoring convert bad boys and girls into
good boys and girls and who has fair success in his
efforts is friend Of society who should be encouraged
in every way possible.
We have doubt that in years 10 come hundreds or
boys and girls who look with regret upon a wayward
past will hess Judge Prckett and his court for having
brought about their reformation and rehabilitation as
social units.
Meanwhile the public should insist that more liberal
provisions be made for the support Of The court and
its activities the end that the judge and his assist
ants may extend and intensity the benefits which flow
from It's operations.
