John Juvenile Court Aide Says 'Par- ents Often Responsible for Youth’s Behavior. BY GRETCHEN SMITH. " Having studied hundreds of delin- quents brought to him from the Juve- nile Court, where for five years he has given his services to the Mental Clinic of the Court, Dr. John E. Lind, psychi- atrist of St. Elizabeth’'s Hospital, em- phatically denounces the modern re- formatory, so far the only method evolved by society for the punishment of youthful miscreanta. “In my opinion,” said Dr. Lind, “re- formatories are merely training schools for,crime.

It is rare that one finds a child in this class. “The majority of mental cases which come into the Juvenile Court,” con- tinued Dr. Lind, “‘are the result of en- vironment. Frequently undernourished and given no home guidance, these children develop mental conditions learns in the reformatories to become real criminals. “The remedy?
