The Juvenile Court today sub.
mitted its annual report to Congress
and asserted the situation facing
the court and the community Is
loaded with dynamite"
The report, covering the fiscal
year 1916. said the $3.50 complaints
entered in the court against chill
dren during that period represented
a. 3.2 per cent increase over the
previous fiscal year.
The report described as one of the
very urgent" needs in the District
the establishment of an adequate
teachers. pay in order to make sure
OF qualified and trained teachers.
New schools to replace old buildings
and cut down overcrowding also
were declared necessary.
Expansion and improvement Of
juvenile institutions also was seen
as a need. The Receiving Home and
other children's institutions, it was
said, are 'very poorly housed, crowd
ed, understaffed and limited in theil
program due to the lack of sufficient
financial support. -
80 More Employees Asked.
A grossly inadequate" pay rate
for foster homes limits the Board OF
Public Welfare in obtaining ade-
quate homes. the report said.
A rapid increase" in the vol
me of cases reaching the court
was one reason given for a recon-
mendation in the report that 2s
additional employees be added to the
court staff.
Other factors listed as handicap
ping the court under the present
personnel limitations were the cur
tailment of working hours with the
elimination of the 44-hour week and
a dire lack of stenographic service
which has forced professional work
ers to take over that type of. duty.
A summary of the 139-page re-
port indicated that a total of 6,125
complaints, of which 3,510 involved
children, were handled by the court

SYDENHAM SUCCESS

New York-On Nov. 18th PM newspaper broadcasted to the nation the fact that one of the best inter-racial experiments in the country was about to go on the rocks because a financial difficulties. They were talking about Sydenham Hospital in New York City. Additionally they told people that this ven- ture in disqualification for all races had done a phenominal job through the combined effort of mixed staff. All of which was followed by the announce ment that it would take $300,- 900 and in hurry to save the institution.
 In 69 days some 10000 peo- pie in the United States, Cana da and overseas sent in $302,- 168. The stream of money came from the rich and the poor, in pennies, in dollars and in big checks.
 Rarely has there been an ex- hibition of public generosity that was more spontaneous and rarely has a daily paper ham, mered away so diligently and extensively at a single social need. Other N. Y. papers gave some nominal coverage but no other paper even approached the intensity of PM.
 As a result of this splendid effort by PM, the continuance of Sydenham Hospital is assur- ed. The matter of it's perman- ence is dependent upon many other factors.
 The funds raised though en- abled the hospital to first wipe out debts to suppliers that had amounted to $150,000. This al- so means that vital credit that had been cut off because some of the bills had been standing for two and three years, is now restored. And while there is now a reserve of cash to carry it forward, it's future solvehcy will be dependent upon the kind of support it continually gets from the public.
 Sydenham is the only large voluntary hosiptal in America operated on an inter-racial basis.

YOUTH AND EDUCATION By Charles c. Garvin

I have noticed from the chil dren in this city and a few other cities with which I an familiar that the youth of, to- day seem to be waning in theil educational endeavor. Many attend school only until they have reached their sixteenth birthday. This great mistake which many youngsters make is too often regretted after the youthful playful years have passed. The hustle and hustle of life forces them to regret very early. Those of us who have made the mistake or did not have the opportunity should make ourselves responsible by telling these children of the danger of leaving school before they are prepared to combat the hardships of life.
 Many youngsters have left school because friends of theirs were bad influence. The kids who want to continue are com pared to people who are trying to be Christians. The Christians are tempted by sinners. The youngsters are tempted by friends who work instead of go. ing to school and securing a part-time job. All the kid in school sees is the amount of money a working friend has all of the time. If he could only think that one day he will be in a better position to get more money for his services if he were to put his time in school and learn something which will net him a decent living when he is thoroughly prepared. It is for the parents to encourage these children. Try to teach them that they have the oppor, tunity which you wanted and never got. Tell hem that your dreams will come true through them. Tell them that this is the main reason why you are sacrificing to keep them in school. If a father is friendly toward his son he will find that his son will always come to him.
 If those of us who are carry, ing on the affairs of today would make more substantial gains we would act as models for the youngsters. Here II Middletown there are few peo ple who could set examples fol the youth of today. It is fol US to pave the way for posterity It is our duty to prepare a way for our children. What are they going to dos What kinG of life will they lead if we fail to guide them in the right way of life? Let's make start now By doing so we will make { better way of life for our you'll by encouraging them to con tinue to go to school. Let then know that education is the key l to success.
