STUART CRITICIZES JUVENILE SYSTEM Welfare Chief Tells Social Council Present Plan Works Backward. A reversal of the present system of handling juvenile delinquents and un- fortunates in order that their cases may be thoroughly investigated before’ being taken to the courts was advo- cated by James E. Stuart, supervisor of the child welfare department of the District of Columbia Board of Public Welfare, before the Washington Cou cil of Soclal Agencies in the Burling- ton Hotel yesterday. Mr. Stuart advocated an adequate staff, both in numbers and in the character of personnel, for the child welfare depaiyment of the Public ‘Welfare Board to carry on the pro- posed Investigations. This, he said, would mean an increase in the staff from 29, its present number, to 87 persons. Previous investigation of many of the cases before they are taken to court, Mr. Stuart stated, would not only prevent neediess separations of children from their parents, but in many cases would result In the re habilitation of the home. System Held Wrong. Under the present system, he said, the children and their parents are haled into court after the chil- dren are turned to the welfare department an_investigation is made to determine if the parents can and will properly care for them. “Such a system.” he said, “means working backward, At the same time Mr. phasized that his department is un- eble to remady matters much with its present alleged inadequate staff, which, he explains, has to handle on the average 3 cases a day. Most of them, he explained. are those car- ried over from one day to the next. He added, however, that the number 18 increz ear to year. Dur- ing the d June 30, 1926, - e avers 554 | cames ibominltt=Qitojthe care of the department and only about 450 are due to be dropped dur- ing the next year, he sald Mr. Stuart deplored the fact that cases have to be aired in court, caus- ing children to listen to all kinds of testimony against thely parents. Then, he said, there is usually an emotional scene of departure as the child is led away by strange hands and taken in to be given a physical examination, which he fears because he does not know what it is about. There i8 no one around the office where the child is taken that has time to reassure him, continued Mr. Stuart. He also criticized the frequent transter of chil- dren from one foster home to another. Ufford Urges Relief. Following the address. Walter S. Ufford of the Associated Charities told the council that the speaker's address served to remind the people that “there is no regular juvenile court in the District as the term is generally understood,” and urged the body to work for more modérn methods for dealing with children. Statistics on child welfare work in various communities during the year 1923 were given in an address by Miss Agnes K. Hanna, director of the Social Service Department of the United States Children’s Bureau. She stated that the defunct local Board of Children’s Guardlans in that year handled about 1,100 children, as com- pared with only 750 handled by St. Louls, a_city much larger than Wash- ington, during the same year. Arthur C. Moses, president of the council, presided. Stuart em- Library Extension Grows.
