To secure the correction of these and similar evils, the commission rec- ommends two types of measures. First, these which are of a general nature and which are designed to se. cure better methods all along the line; second, those which are aimed at the direct correction of specific evils. Under the former heading the two most important are the recom- mendations for a centralized bureau of child welfare and an up-to-date juvenile court and probation system. Juvenile Courta, The commission recommends the establishment of a new set of courts to be known as juvenile courts. There will be fifty-four such courts, forty- one of which will utilize the equip- ment and personnel of existing char- tered city, town and borough ~ourts, be every case, however, they will with separate and distinct courts their own specific jurisdiction, rec- ords, methods of procedure, etc. In the bill providing for these courts the commission has laid down re- quirements with reference to proced- ure which will make them at least the equals of any juvenile courts in the country. i To supply the probation work so ossential to juvenile court procedure the commission recommends the eos- tablishment of a mandatory proba- tion service for all juvenile courts.

The juvenile court will have juris- diction not only over delinquent chil- dren, but also over neglected, un- cared-for and defective children. Every child coming before such a court will be assigned to an agent cf the bureau of child welfare, who will thereafter be specifically charged with the responsibility of planning for and supervising his career. | For the better care of defective children, the commission recommends the establishment of a division of special education and standards un- der the state board of education. The duties of this division will be to pro- vide teachers and facilities tor the training of defectives in the public schools, wherever this can be done to the advantage of the child. In this connection provision is also made for the parole and probation of mental defectives under the Jjurisdiction of the juvenile courts. It is provided that the juvenile courts may, for this purpose, establish the status of voca- tional probation. For the purpose of securing the rights and protection of children born | out of wedlock, the commission rec- ! ommends extensive changes in the present laws with the object of secur- ing for such children equal clatwns with children born in wedlock upon both parents, with the exception of the full right of inheritance from the father. It is proposed to make {t fllegal to senténce any person under 18 years of age to death, life imprisonment, or imprisonment in the penitentiary. Pure Lard, 15c 1b.
