NEW AUDITORIUM
TO BE DEDICATED
And umong the world's progress
and advancement, the law has not lag
ged behind with alow and faltering
sttp*. No, that law, “whoa* voice Is
the harmony of the world and whose
seat Is the bosom of God." haa kept
shoulder to shoulder with the advance
guards of civilisation and progress.
And In alt the progress of (he law
throughout the entire civilised world,
tho most Important and moat forward
step waa taken by the United States
when the first Juvenile court wae es-
tnhllshed only eight years ago.
Haya Samuel J. Harrows. United
States commissioner to the Interna
tional Prison Commission: “The es
tablishment of Juvenile courts I* the
moat notable development In Judicial
principles of the present century, and
never before has a Judicial reform
made such rapid progress."
Growth of Juvonilo Court*.
Bight years ago, there waa not a
single Juvenile rourt In all the world.
Now In this country, twenty-two states
have some kind of legislation for Ju
venile offenders and thirty-eight cities
have established Juvenile courts. This
great reform Is now sweeping among
the rlvlllsed nations like a prairie lire
—nothing can stop It or put It out till
It burns Itself Into the consciences of
nit peoples.
Following the lead of our country,
these courts are now being established
In Canada, Australia, England Scot
land and Ireland, und will soon be In
every civilised country In the world,
in our own country, Juvenile courts
are t,ow established In New York. Chi
cago. Denver, Baltimore, San Francls-
co, Los Angeles, New Haven, Pueblo,
Wilmington, Springlteld, Dubuque, Des
Moines, Washington, Lowell, New Or-
IlufTsI'
waukee and Atlanta. Thesa courts
vary with the different needs of the
various communities, but their basic
Principles are the same.
With a hardened adult criminal, the
Idea of the law le lo punish the in
dividual ao that the mass of the people
will be Intimdated from following In-
his footsteps. It la quite different with
the Juvenile eourt ides.
Idea Is To 8ave.
Here the basic Idas t* to save the
individual child from becoming a vi
cious adult, and not to punish him,
except so far os such punishment may
help In his reformation. In Juvenile
courts, ths child as soon aa he I* ar
rested la placed In a detention ward
separated entirety from the prison for
adults. In the most up-to-date juven
ile courts, (here la a school room with
books, blackboard and a matron ti
teach him hie lessons while he Is un
der detention. He Is dstained In this
ward until the probation officer can
find out all the facta In hla case, visit
the home If necesaary, talk with hla
parents, and see his home environ
ment. The probation officer then
brings the child before the c<
states t» the Judge nil that
learned about the hoy, the case against
him, the boy's parent* and hit home
surroundings. The court then deter
mines whether lo dismiss the rase, to
put the boy on probation and let him
return home, or to place him In some
other home or Institution, where his
surroundings will be better. In n ju
venile court, the probation officer Is
even more necesssryi than the Judge.
He ehould be n many-sided man, i
man of big heart, but of sound judg
ment; gentle as a woman, hut Arm aa
adamant, and as patient aa Job him
self. When a child Is put. on probation
hy the court, the probation officer at
once take* charge of him, takes him
Into hla office, hns a long talk with
him and dds parents, makes arrange
ments for the child to write him once
a week, stating what he la doing, and
visits the home of the child a* often as
poHsIblt, so that he can see for him- 1
self how the child I* doing. If the boy
Is neither at work nor at school, the
slllon or get him Into school. In other
words, the probation officer, when he
flmla the child to be without parents
nr without proper parents, must act as
the child's guardian and do for him
what ho would do for hla own child.
Aa has been well said, the homeless
xvalf has n right to aay, "Whan my
father and my mother forsake me,
then the state ahull take me up.”
There la no greater work than that
of helping little children to become
good eltlsens and let ua hope that this
movement will spread ao rapidly
throughout our state that when your
next convention meets, every mayor of
every town and. city In Georgia can
rise and state that hla municipality has
a Juvenile eourt.
