COURSES ON Jury
DUTY ADVOCATED
New York Official Says COL
legeS Should Prepare Youth.

By Times Special
NEW YORK, June Proposal
to include courses on juries and jury
duty in college curricula was made
yesterday by Frederick O'Byrne.
commissioner Of jurors for New
York County.
Commissioner O'Byrne's sugges-
tons were made in an interview on
the case of Charles W. Rendigs, who
has admitted accepting brides to
vote for acquittal.
Commissioner O'Byrne said that
Rendigs was so rare among jurors as
to be an outstanding case, only few
offenses Of the kind having come to
his notice in many years as deputy
commissioner and commissioner.
His PROPOSAL that colleges and
universities take cognizance of the
need for education of the. youth in
jury duties was inspired. he said,
By the lack of knowledge of many
talasmen as TO what. constituted jury
work.
"There is too general feeling that
jury duty is to be evaded," said Com
missioner 1O'Byrne. THAT is not so
In smaller communities. But in New
York, where people are always
pressed with business and have less
OF the community spirit than in
smaller places, too many men drawn
for jury duty offer excuses by which
they hope to evade service.
TT is my belief that the condition
could be remedied in large measure
by college courses dealing with the
history OF Juries, the work done by
5uries and the duties required of
jurors"
