PSYCHIATRY Is URGED
FOR JUVENILE COURTS
Katherine F., LenrOot Addresses
Baltimore Women on "The
DELINQUENT Child"

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. February 2o.-The need
of a fulltime psychiatriSt for juvenile
courts was pointed out yesterday by
Katherine F. Lenroot of Washington,
assistant to. the chief of the Children's
Bureau, United States Department of
Labor.
Miss Lenroot spoke on "The Delin-
quent Child as a Court Problem" be-
fore the Baltimore League of Women
Voters.
The speaker cited the case of Will
liam Hickman as an outstanding ex-
ample of the urgent necessity of having
psychiatry facilities in the handling of
delinquents.
She said: "You recall that Hickman,
an l8-year-old boy, was hanged in Cali
fornia recently for most atrocious
murder Of a 12-year-old child He had
committed at least one other murder
and q series of forgeries and rcbberies.
"A high school graduate, the son of
feeble minded and insane mother, he
had won second place In a national
pratorical contest. At the age of II he
was referred to Juvenile court on q
forgery charge and placed on probation.
SOCIAL investigation was made, but
the boy was not given a mental ex-
animation,
This Is an extreme case, but 1t IL
illustrates the point that the community
Is protecting neither Its own interests
nor those Of the unstable and difficult
children with whom it deals II it fails
to provide juvenile court with ade-
quate psychiatric facilities and trained
social workers"
