JUVENILE PROBLEM
STUDIES ARE URGED
Sanford Bates Makes Pro.
posaI Before National Con-
ference at Baltimore.

BY the Associated Press
BALTIMORE, October IA proposal
that heads of Juvenile corrective inSti-
tutions study the problems confronting
Federal authorities in dealing with boys
and girls who come under their juris-
diction was made yesterday before the
National Conference of Juvenile
Agencies by Sanford Bates. director of
the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Mr.. Bates declared that while At
torney General Mitchell and other
Federal officials have for more than a
year been working to perfect system
for dealing with juveniles, the aid OF
heads of the various institutions would
go long way toward solving the prob
lens.
Three Report Subjects.
Specific points on which the various
institution heads were asked to report
were formulation of a policy for han
ding children in their own States. their
detention in homes rather than in
Federal jails pending hearings. and
their commitment to institutions in
their own States rather than in Federal
prisons when found guilty.
Social detectives for juveniles and
the development Of their interest
through guidance we're urged by DR..
-. Z. PartCn OF the ScnOOl OF EQuca-
ton, Rutgers University. in an ad-
dress before the conference.
There is still a great lack of under
standing rs to just what is meant by
comprehensive guidance program.
DR.. Partch said ut should include al.
gairful occupations and the giving of
information, guidance and advice in the
choosing of an occupation. preparing
for it, entering it and making advance
in it."
Bames Dry Law.
Blame for much of the juvenile de-
linquency of today was placed by Judge
T Scott Offutt Of the Maryland Ccurt
of Appeals, on the eighteenth amend
ment in an address before the confer
ence.
THE eighteenth amendment and the
State and Federal legislation in aid of
it brought in their train opportunities
which seemed to promise a life ad-
venture with quick profits, little work
and much play" Judge Offutt said.
1T offered temptation which many
children with uninformed minds, in
experience, without perspective, often
without any moral or religious back
ground or fixed principles, have been
unable to resist" he declared.

The volcano was Jared into action

The fountains gushed more strongly

desperate cases taken to the Henry Ford
Hospital in Detroit if disqualification is
advised by the doctor.
But aren't you banking pretty
heavily on the I. o. US of these peo-
ple?" the official in charge was asked
This is an attempt to do welfare
work without large welfare fund" was
the reply. I'VE have become entangled
in a system where no one seems to be-
lieves he can turn around without
money. Welfare work is falling down
because it has become so largely mat
ter of money. We are attempting to
show that the wheels of productive
community life can be started turning
again without money.
The best charity is to lend your
brains and active assistance in showing
people what they can do for them
selves. The cash outlay of what we are
doing here is comparatively little, Any
person, even of small means, could do
it, The big contribution is our own
personal interest in these peoples
problems and their own hearty cooper
alton in our plans to help them. There
is no charity in this, except the old
fashioned charity of helpful human CO.
operation.
Idleness Held Ridiculous.
1T is ridiculous that so many people
in the world should be sitting in bitter
idenesS when a little community plan
ming would set them all to working and
when a little plowing of vacant land
would enable them to feel secure against
possible unemployment next year.
The fact is, some such plan as this
will have to be adopted by larger COM
munities as the depression continues.
Money charity is surely coming to an
end IN many communities by reason of
the prolongation of the depression.
Cities like Detroit for example, should
organize men into work squads instead
of breadlines and should lay up a food
| supply against next year. No one should
! make dollar out of welfare work We
shall have to prove that our COM
munities are self-contained and self
supporting by using the human and
| natural resources already at hand.
1t is the duty of every one, no mat
ter how good his job may seem at
present, to use the soil to lay up a store
of the things his family needs most.
Many of these workers, though living
within the city limits, have conSidera-
BILE ground on the lots they own. or
| they could easily arrange to use vacant
lots, and every one of them has plenty
of time for the cultivation of gardens.
In this time of transition, no one
knows when the daily wage job may
fail. But the soil never fails. Nature
always does her part and makes good
her promises. The main thing, these
days, is to learn that you can turn
around without money
These things are fundamental Any
| community that gets down to funda-
mentals, stripped of all political mo-
tives and complicated social formulae,
can solve its problem Of human need"
