According to Miss Emma Hance, director of - reference work, there has been a marked develop- ment of interest in Seuth erica. Other popular subjects included: Ger- many, Hitler, Prance, Japan, the Five- year Plan of the Russian Soviets, the Philippines, the United States debt to Poland, Austrian union with Germany, and naval treaty ship-building.

C, APRIL AROUSING OF PUBLIC INTEREST IN JUVENILE CASES IS SOUGHT| Sociologists and Educators to Push Cam- paign in View of Inminent Appointment of Children's gourt Judge. . BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. | The development of intelligent public | | interest in the problems of the Juvenile | Court is the objective of a representa- | | tive group of soclologists and educators which, having organized and conduc a successful conference on “The Child,| the Law and the Coul March 31, now | plans to continue its work. Among those active in the movement are: Edgar M. Gerlach, Juvenile Pre tective Association; Mrs. Clara Morten- | son Beyer, League of Women Voter: . Dr. Russell J. Clinchy, Social Ser ice Committee, Federation of Church Ray L. Everett, Social Hygiene Society; | Dr. John O'Grady, Citholic Charities. and Arthur S. Rosichan, Jewish Social | Service Agency. Mr. Gerlach, speaking for the com-| mittee, yesterday said: “In view of the fact that an appointment of a new judge for the Juvenile Court is soon to to be made and in consideration of the prominent role which the court neces- sarily plays in our community life and of the particular situation of the Dis- trict of Columbia in relation to the Na- tional Government, we feel that we should continue our campaign of edu- cation among the people. We are espe- cially concerned about the choice of the judge. The primiry consideration is not the matter of an appoinément versus & reappointment, a man rsus | a woman judge, or a social worker| versus a lawyer. It is, however, of prime | importance that socially-minded, un- selfish, non-politczlly expedient motiv: tiong shall prevail in the selection for appointment or reappointment of one in whose hands the destiny of countless thousands of the future citizens of the District will be placed.” No “Favorite Candidate.” The group has no “favorite candidate” of its own and does not urge the claims of any individual. To discover the qualifications considered imperative it has conducted a symposium. Mr. Ger- lach explained: ‘“There are conflicting opinions. The legal group, for example, feels that & lawyer makes the best type juvenile judge; the social workers background of experience would best measure up to even minimum standa: and still others think that a combin: tion of the two would best qualify one for such a position.” Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, former Assistant Attorney General, gave it as her opinion that “the most important qualification of a juvenile court judge is common horse sense; sec- ond, experience in the law, and third, experience in social work.” Her judg- ment was echoed by Justin Miller, dean of the Duke University Law Sahool, chairman of the section on criminal lJaw and criminology of the American Bar Association, and vice president of the National Probation Association. “Get socially-minded judges,” said Miss Henrietta Additon, deputy police com= missioner of New York City. “Keep away from politicians. Juvenile courts can be very dangerous if they are not well run.” Dr. William A. White, peychiatrist and head of St. Elizabeth’s Hossmll, agreed that the ideal judge would be “a person whose sympathy is with the child.” Leifur Magnusson, president of the Monday Evening Club and chief of the International Labor Office, likewise stressed the point that “a juvenile court should be based more on the principals of equity and com- mon law than on a narrow interpreta- tion of statutory law” and favored & 3 . Mrs. Beyér said minimum requirement of eourt personnel should be qualifications such as entitle .one to membership in the American Association of Social Workers.” Mrs. Louis D. Brandeis, & sponsor |, of the recent conference, joined with these experts in approving the plan o continue the work. She said: “I think | it would be a splendid idea. We must | not lose the ground,already gained. g’ |: only by u;lr;lunt pounding away | at one ever achieves any pu , and this one is truly wonhwk{llg.’w Quotes” Federal Director. Mr. Gerlach told of the origin of the juvenile court as a social institution. | He quoted Sanford Bates, dir the Bureau of Prisons, as s was born out of a realization of the human factors underlying juvenile crime and delinquency.” This inter- est, he believes, “was aroused by the Jjoint necessity of separating children who offended against the law from adult offenders, and altering the for- mal, legal procedure and the acceptea DANCE SMARTLY _ Don't sit on the side- larity be dios.

It does mnot,| however, find its constitutional and his- torical bases in criminal law, but in the ancient doctrine of equity, that body | of extraordinary jurisprudence, which supposedly made gcod the deficiencies of the common law, was the keeper of thy juvenile eourth perform that could not be performed as well, if not better, by any social case-working agency with acceptable standards. The problem of e delinquency is & social prob- are others, however, who there should be a more efficient func- tional adjustment of juvenile courts with other forms of remedial and pre- ventive welfare work, in place of the all too frequently isolated pigeonholed courts which exist in many places to- day. ‘The juvenile courts then should be organized as co-operat! units rather than as competitive entities. The handling of a child on the basis of true individualism lles in some commingling |of what he has in his own life with needs of the total group. This is not the task alone of a single special- ized unit, but rather the task of the entire social-work machinery.” Paul T. Beisser, executive secretary |of the Henry Watson Children's Aid Society, Baltimore, discussing the ideals of the enile court, Mr. Gerlach said, had suggested that “the juvenile court should act as a prod for parents and agencies, should punish the parents and treat the children, should use modern ‘the conscience of ths king’ and espe- cially sought justice for thase who were | t0o helpless, ‘weak and inarticplate to obtain if for themselves. The Juvenile | Court was to concern itself with the | youth of the land, and for this youth it was to evolve a new program. “It is generally accepted that it is much easier, far more helpful and in- finitely more urgent to reform or seek to reform the delinquent while he is young. It is in childhood that most criminals commence their lawless ca- reers. Therefore, the attempt was to be made to reconditiol him before his habits were {rrevocably fixed, while his whole moral nature was still fluid, plas- | tic and unformed. In this age of prog- ress the understanding and treatment of | the underprivileged or handicapped child has developed almost int> a | science, but the Juvenile Courts of the kept pace. Before they could adjust”them- selves to & definite, constructive solu- tion of the problems of neglect or de- linquency they were overwhelmed with, not only an avalanche of cases, but with additional tangent functions that they all too readily acc . The White House Conference on Child Health and Protection found that approximately 200,000 children sre dealt with in the Juvenile Courts of our country each year. “Juveniles a Social Problem.” “There are many who contend that, as a matter of fact; outside of actual commitments to institutions or other agencies, there are no functions that Genuine Toric Glasses | Far or nesr, Com-; 50 | plete with shell or 3 | metal frames. 32 FRAMES ot 617 7th SPECIAL MONDAY and TUESDAY KAHN OPTICAL CO diagnostic methods, should act as a barometer and should take proper community planning P iousty~ Mr. Gerlach concluded, S a large order, and if the court . i3 type of service, it must be staffed by weil qualified personnel.
