Delinquent children of the District were promised active friendship of the local chapter of the American Busi- ness Club Monday night, when mem- bers voted to adopt the “big-brother” movement which has been successfully carried out in other parts of the eountry. Perey G. Neumann, national execu- tive officer, addressing the club, de- scribed the movement whereby the organization pledges its members to act as sponsors for delinquents brought into the Juvenile Court. The plan is for the chairman of a Big Brother Committee to assign indi- vidual members to delinquent cases as they arise. Subsequently, the mem- ber is to appear in court with his charge and request that the child be paroled in his care. If this is granted the member, acting as a “big brother,” is expected to cultivate an acquaint- ance with his charge, seeing him at least once s week and occasionally providing wholesome entertainment. Dr. L. M. Lucas, president of the club, pointed out that the organiza- tion’s position in this program is aided by the fact that the average age of . club members is only 32. He has ap- pointed William Stickney as chair- mare of a committee to set the plan in operation. Judge Fay Bentley of the Juvenile Court will be approached some time this week for co-operation.
