Juvenile Court Problems
BY Paul Ahles
Judge of Probate and Juvenile
Court.

THE DELINQUENT CHILD
We have Heretofore given the de-
finition of a delinquent child as
set out in our Juvenile Court Laws.
In ordinary language we call a
child delinquent when it is not of
good behavior. Stealing, lying,
cheating, immortality, disobedience,
fighting are a few of the many
offenses committed by bad or de-
linquent children. Delinquency as
rule has gradual development. No
child becomes bad over night. We
have heretofore said that bad hab-
it's may creep into that bundle of
habits that constitute the charact-
er of person. Just as virtues are
acquired by practice and gradual
development of good habits, so
viciousness may come from a slow
development of bad habits. A de-
linquent child might then be de-
fined as a child whose bad habits
are so prominent and active that
on account of them it becomes
antisocial in it's conduct.
We often see parents throw up
their hands in CONSERVATION and
horror, when their boy or girl is
hailed before the Juvenile Court on
a charge of delinquency. They ex-
claim: 1.-THE boy has always been so
good and well behaved, and now
they claim he is delinquent" The
mothers heart is ready to break.
The father threatens dire punish
ment. To think that their boy
should have disgraced his family,
to them, seems unbelievable and
objectionable. While to some par
ents the commission of a serious
unlawful act by their child seems
to come like a bolt of lightning
from a clear sky, we believe that If
these parents would check careful
ly the acts and behavior of their
boy or girl for a number of years
back, they might discover influen-
ces that have impressed them I'M
favoraibly, and may even discover
behavior that pointed toward de-
linquency, and should have been
checked in time. Here as in many
cases the old motto, "A stitch in
time saves nine," holds true.
We have the deepest sympathy
for a mother whose ideal in son
is suddenly shattered. But if moth
ers and fathers could get themsel-
YES to feel that after all children
are human and have weaknesses
like other humans, they might take
the appearance before the Court
more philosophically, and work
with the Court to set them right.
For the Juvenile Court Is there to
help not to crush children who
have erred.

RELIGIOUS TRAINING

In discussing this subject I de-
sire to say that I have no train
ing in theology, and that which I
have to say has reference to be-
havior of children rather than up
on life hereafter. I believe that
there is inherent in every human
being, be he savage or civilized,
if not a real belief, yet a feeling
that there is a supreme being. /
believe that this feeling is still in
those of the Russian youth who
have been trained otherwise, and
that at sometime in the future reli-
gion in some form will revive in
them.
Prevailing religions whether cath
Ollie, protestant or jewish can have
a powerful influence on the con-
duct of children. The home where
children are trained in piety and
love for God is not so apt to furn-
ish children for Juvenile Court cor
rection, than one where prayer and
church attendance are neglected.
While prayer at meals and on ris-
ing and retiring may not be abso-
lutely necessary in character build
ing, their practice give more as
sured proof of a sound religious at

and caused the landslide. No more
important that he be saved than
anybody else. He's single. Nobody
to mourn him. One guys got seven
little children and one has an in
valid mother to support and a
brother that's blind"
As the car laboriously worked its
way through the mud Linda felt a
curious kinship to all the women
who must be waiting for the rescue
work to be completed. After all,
most of them had had their hus-
bands for years. The men had be-
come of their patterns, their in
terests woven deeply into the fab
ric.
In a sense she was envious of
these women who had h a d so
much. She had had nothing at all.
But in another way she was sor-
rier for them than for herself. If
she could have come to care so
deeply in such a short time she
realized the depth of roots of de-
votion a woman could implant for
a man when they had borne much
together.
The car came to an abrupt halt
and the driver helped her out. She
saw the bonfires burning on the
banks, the torch lights and flashes,
the dark figures who huddled to-
gether waiting and the others
vivid in the light, who hurried here
and there.
She strained her eyes across the
river, trying to locate the broken
bridge, but the night and dawn
were so much one now that she
could see only a smudge of dark
ness.
Hello, there! Weren't you along
On that house party of Sarah Mark
ley's?" a voice asked her, and she
turned quickly.
Billie Anne! Why hadn't she
known that she would come at
once, too? Somebody must have
sent her immediate word when the
accident had happened the after
noon before and she had hurried
at once.
Whom did you come to see?"

.'The men weren't lost in the Wa

There's a tunnel to one side OF
the bridge and it caved in. That's
where they are. Trapped"

Trapped! Then there still was
hope. But she had dared to think
that in the interim since she had
left the city Robert had been found.
THE men still r there?' she
asked softly.
'Still there. We're trying to dig
'em out. Getting sounds from inside

Got a father or brother In the
gang?"
No. Just a friend"
Must b ca mighty good friend.
Well, hop in. You're getting pretty
soaked.
Linda's lace hat, which had been
so gay and debonair, dropped now,
and the roses were sodden. The
thin black suit was drenched and
her pumps oozed water when
she walked. She wished she had
brought along a heavy coat. But it
was too late nov.
"Take me to the place where the
men are imprisoned" she said.
"Okay, hop in, sister. It'll cost
you three dollars, though" The
man opened the door for her.
That's all right" She had
bought a return trip ticket to New
York. If Robert could he saved the
world would be a shining place.
And if he could not, what did it
matter if this man c'-arged her
five dollars, ten dollars, or took
her free of charge? She remem-
bered vaguely that she had some
thing like seven dollars in her
purse.
The car went slowly through
deep mud.

have to work against falling earth.

a question. "Is-is Robert Barton
