mitted petty thefts and otherwise
acted like hoodlums but a step re-
moved from the felony league where
the payod Is the workhouse.
That was year ago. The old gang
still is around and Joe still is leader.
But things have changed. Joe doesn't
play hockey from school any more, and
he has a part-time job. His super
fetal toughness, which made him both
feared and hated, has disappeared.
But his hold on his followers Is
stronger than ever for they sense that
he's a better man than he used to be.
As for the gang. it Is no longer a
wolfpack of rufflans. The boys can be
found cleaning up alleys and back
yards, making play space out of an
empty lot, or engaging In organized
sports
This happy metamorphosis was en-
gineered by an organization called
the Junior Police Citizens Corps. The
change in Joe and his gang Is typical
of what Is happening among some seq
ments of Washington youth because
of an idea expounded by Oliver A.
Cowan.

to the police force In 1912 he looked
at the statistics for juvenile delin-
quency, particularly in the First,
Second and Thirteenth Precincts. and
was appalled,. Looking for some means
to channelize the energies of what
otherwise would be street arabs, he
undertook in his spare time to organ
lie the corps. Its original membership
was four children. Today, according
to Mr.. Cowan, the corps numbers some
10000 in Washington; IL other cities
have adopted his plan or some modifi-
cation of 1t. and at least one foreign
government Is interested.
Policeman Cowan's formula is
simple: Give them responsibility and
