Juvenile Court
CONTINUED From First Page.)

Court has stopped sending her the
regular lists which formed basis
for the cooperation between the
court and the attendance officers
Previously. she said. the Juve-
nile Court sent the school attend
ance Office this information:
Lists of all children put on pro-
baton. ..
Lists of all children committed
to the Board of Public Welfare
for care outside their homes, the
date Of commitment and the
length Of the term.
Lists of all children released
from probation or commitment.
Responsible for Attendance.
Mrs. Sheldon explained that by
mutual agreement of the courts
and the schools, the courts pro-
baton officers are responsible for
the school attendance of children
on probation. Under this agree
ment. she said. she has made re-
ports to the court on school at
tendance 80 it can do for the
child on probation what we do for
the other children.
When the child is committed
to an institution, she said, the
school attendance officers should
be told so they will know their
responsibility has ended. On the
other hand, when the child is no
longer in an institution or on pro-
baton, the school people want to
know the child is their response
bility again.
All this information, Mrs. Shell
don protested. is now denied.
This order is hampering our
work with the children" she said.
Before this. there was a mutual
exchange of information between
the court and the schools so each
would know what the other was
doing. Now. that's out"
Denied Information.
She said attendance officers
have been denied information
when they tried to find out
whether a child was on proba-
tion. AS a result. she said, they
make the complete investigation
required before a complaint can
be filed only to learn later that
the child is already under the
courts jurisdiction.
Where the school attendance
officer is the complaining witness
and is excused from the courtroom
before the child's case is decided,
Mrs. Sheldon added. the officer
does not even know what has been
decided In the case.
Mrs. Sheldon pointed out that
truancy often follows other forms
of juvenile delinquency or ac-
companies it. For that reason,
she said, a close working relation
ship is essential between the court
and the attendance officers.

The volunteers are coming from

from the Auxiliary, Mrs. Myers
said They will give all or part

tribution of memorial poppies to
be worn in tribute to Americas s
war dead. They viii also receive
contributions for aid to disabled
war veterans and needy children

Groups which have volunteered

by distributing poppies include,
girls Of several grades from

"A fine. patriotic, spirit is being
shown by the women, volunteering
for Poppy Day duty" said Mrs.
Myers. Distributing poppies is
hard, unaecustonaed work and re-
quires sacrifice of time and per-
Sonai interests. Yet it is. of course,
nothing compared to the. sacrifices
made for America by those whom
the poppy aids. Knowing this,
our poppy workers will be on the
streets bright and early on Poppy
Day, eager to do their full part
to make the day a success I am
sure the public will meet them
with the same patriotic spirit
