begun, he believes.
Sees Three Glasses
He grouped offenders into three
classes: those especially gifted ones
whose background is too dull; the av-
erage ones, who have been given a
wrong start in life through bad en-
vironment; and the mentally defec-
tives, whose treatment can only be
prescribed by a trained psychiatric
worker. In the second class are found
more than three-fourths of the
youthful offenders and these, to-
gether with the gifted ones, are GER
tain to benefit through corrective
| education, Oh. Butler said.
New children's laws to 1T changing
conditions were suggested by A. v.
Zuber. ~FesSenden, juvenile commits
sioner Of Wells county. He offered a
bill which will permit the juvenile
commissioner, in cases where parents
or relatives are unable to provide. for
the child, to issue a temporary order
directing the county auditor to issue
a county warrant to pay for the care
of the child. This order would be
filed with the district Judge. together
with findings In the case, and be sub
ject to the courts approval.
Would Produce Speed
The bill, which was introduced In
the house Tuesday, would repeal a
section of the present juvenile court
act and result in a great saving OF
time in obtaining funds to care for
children placed in private homes or
institutions. 1t would further give
the juvenile officer power to ascer-
tain whether the parents are liable
for the support Of the neglected child
and able to contribute to it's supper.
and to require that they appear at
the hearing to show III why the
court should not demand that they
support the child.
The intended law would place de-
tendency cases In the hands Of the
juvenile court and facilitate work in
cases involving delinquents. he said.
Sharon r. Mote, superintendent Of
the U. s.. Indian school, spoke brief
ly, making a plea that the conference
as a whole give consideration to the
Indian as a state problem. He point
ed to the need for vocational educa-
ton service as a means Of leading the
Indian to the life for which he is
best fitted.
