To the father who made the
strongest plea to keep his son.
Judge Stevenson said. Help us TO
help him become a decent eiti-
zen"
Several witnesses appeared in
court against the boys. the prin-
cipal one being Chief Lannes Mar
vel of the Seaford Police Depart
mect.
The two older boys were charged
with the theft of BIB gun from
the Sussex Hardware Company,
Seaford; breaking and entering the
Seaford Furniture Company, at
which time they were said to have
taken about $500 in change; and
two charges of breaking and en-
tering the ]. B. Hurley Company,
also of Seaford, taking about $500
on one occasion and about $500 on
another
They used various means of en-
try, including, hitting the glass OF
the window with a nail and shoot
ing the glass of the front door with
the BIB gun.
Chief Marvel testified that there
had been other counts against the
two boys, including the theft of
two bicycles but since the stolen
goods had been returned and the
owners did not wish to prosecute,
nothing had been done about them
The 12-year-old boy said he act
ed as lookout" in one of the
Hurley thefts and received $l.00 of
the money stolen.
In each of the three cases, the
parents were ordered to pay costs
of prosecution and to make resti-
tuition not only of the money act
tally stolen but of the damage
done in the breaking and entering.

Two SeafOrd Juvenile
Delinquents Sentenced

Two 13-year-old Seaford boys
were committed TO Ferris Indus
trial School ON Monday morning by
Judge Marion Stevenson IN Sussex
County Juvenile Court for a SER
les of breaking and enterings in
Seaford-
A third boy, IL years old, was
placed on probation for year. He
had part in only one of the es-
capades in which the others fig
ured and this was his first time
before the court.
In sentencing the two Selin-
quents, Judge Stevenson reviewed
their histories and said that while
every effort had been made TO help
them outside of an institution, it
seemed that they needed different
Supervision.
Regarding one boy, he said that
he did not believe he had ever had
such a case in the court before.
AS far back as 1852, he explained,
the boy had been in trouble and
everything but Ferris had already
been tried, including the placing of
the boy under the supervision of
the State Department of Public
Welfare.
The fathers of botn boys pleaded
for another chance to supervise
their sons under altered home con-
ditions, but Judge Stevenson sket-
ched previous occasions on which
similar pleas had been made, only
to have the boys come back before
the court
The judge told the boys that it
depended on their own conduct
how long they would remain at
Ferris, and stated, 81 think some

were much more reliable signs of

dried thyroid given orally was
found to be a reliable method of
diagnosis. If the symptoms disap-
peared, the hypometabolic state

Some Of these people chronieally
complain of vague aches and
pains, and have been labeled un-
justly rs hypochondriacs. neurot-
ics, or anxiety personalities.
Actually the chemical processes
in their bodies which convert food
into energy are operating at a
snaiI's pace. Doctors believe that
the showdown results rpm a short
age of thyroid hormone in body
tissues.
Other commonly encountered
symptoms indicating this form of
hypothyroidism may be an intoIer-
ance to cold, brittle nails, dry skin,
lack Of persI :ration and, in wom-
en-, menstr-S. disorders.
In . seven year study conducted
by DR.. 3 A. Watson of Clifton
Springs, N y. published recently
in the New York State Journal of
Medicine, it was found that women
are much more prone to this state
than men, and also that its incl
dence increases with age.
OF almost $4,000 patients ad-
mitted for various complaints to
the Clifton Springs Clinic and San
itarium, DR.. Watson found that
more than 200 were suffering from
the hypometabolic state The high
est rate was among patients in
their forties and fifties. In DR..
Watson's opinion: physicians
should consider the diagnosis of
hypometabolic state before label

chondriac, anxiety state, etc"

one conference with him. In
addition, students on proba-
tion and those permitted to
attend classes on some condi-
ton are required to consult
him. But many Of the stu
dents who have gone to DR..
Bentley over the years have
chosen to confide In him.
Other faculty members say
it's DR.. Bentley's interest In
all phases of student life that
inspires the trust. A scroll he
received recently for 80 years
service refers to him as
teacher, administrator. coun-
selor and friend" He is now
chairman of the Student Per-
sonnel Committee and, until
stricken with heart disease
four years ago. had never
missed a university basketball
game. Students feel he
really understands them"
says Dean of Women Mar
guerite Shaw.
One student, explaining
Why others have made DR..
Bentley an unofficial dean Of
troubles, says: Hes a human
being, a practical, down-to-
earth guynot at all the way

In a classroom, the profess
sor, who has written a half
dozen books on psychology
and "An Outline Of Philoso-
ply" has q way Of bringing
complicated ideas down to
the level of his students un-
derstanding. The words he
quotes most often are from
william James: Make your

'Mr. Chips Of American u.

nervous system your ally"
And more than once, as an
answer to a student express
ing some obviously unfounded
opinion, DR.. Bentley, in his
own near-Scottish accent,
has quoted the vernacular of
Josh Billings: ut amt the
things we don't know that
makes such fools of us, but a
whole lot of things we know
that amt so."
DR.. Bentley, who was born
In Northern England, came
to the United States in 1915.
Only an occasional student,
worried or embarrassed by a
financial problem, hears the
story of how DR.. Bentley ar
rived in this country with
only S. in his pocket. Before
joining the AU faculty he
studied at Boston, Clark
and McGill Universities, and
taught at the Iliff School of
Theology in Denver and the
University of Denver.
From his observations, DR..
Bentley concludes that to-
days college students are
more concerned with "secur-
ity" than with adventure" "
"They tend to concentrate on
practical things rather than
experiment with IDEAS" he
says, land I think it's largely
due to environment. Today's
students live comfortably, few
of them have TO struggle for
an education, and so they are
interested In remaining COM

nNE or the unofiacial rules
" Of campus life that's
been handed down from class
to class at American Univer-
sity involves trouble and a
professor dubbed "Mr. Chips"
when in trouble" the rule
goes, "the kind Of trouble you
would be ashamed or afraid
to talk to any one else about,
see Dean Bentley"
DR.. John e. Bentley, now
dean emeritus and professor
of philosophy, began his 31st
year at American University
last fall. The 67-year-old
professor, whose white hair,
friendly smile and habit OF
peering over his glasses make
him a picture of the fictional
Mr.. Chips he is often COM
pared to, has taught psy-
chology as well as philosophy.
From 1916 to 1858 he was
dean OF the undergraduate
school. But like MIR. Chips,
the sympathetic master at
Brookfield, DR.. Bentley is best
known for things he's done
outside the classroom.
His ONCE, never known to
have been closed to a student
in trouble, has become an in
stitution within an institution.
Hundreds of students each
year take their personal and
scholastic troubles there, and
it's a well-known university
fact that DR.. Bentley's words
have saved college careers
and helped avert many teen
age tragedies.
