"We are living, we are dwelling,
In a grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling.
To be living Is subllms."
And among the world's progress
and advancement, the law has not lag
ged behind with slow' and faltering
steps. No, that law, “whose voice I*
the harmony of the world and whoae
neat la the bosom of God,” has kept
ehoulder to shoulder with the advance
guards of civilisation and progress.
And In all the progress of ths law
throughout the entire civilised world,
the moet Important and moet forward
step was taken by the United Statea
when the first Juvsnlle court was es
tablished only eight years ago.
Says' Samuel J. Barrows, United
States commissioner to the Interna
tional Prison Commission: "The es
tablishment of Juvenile courts Is ths
most notable development In Judicial
principles of the present century, and
never before has a Judicial reform
made such rapid progress.”
Growth of Juvsnil* Courts.
Bight years ago, there was not a
single Juvenile court 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 civilised nations like a prairie fir*
—nothing can stop It or put It out till
It bums Itself Into the consciences of
all peoples.
Following the lead of our country,
these courts are now being established
In Canada, Auatralla, England, Scot
land and Ireland, und will aoon be In
every elvlllsed country In the world.
In our own rnuntry, Juvenile court*
are now established In New York, Chi
cago, Denver, Baltimore, San Francis
co, Los Angeles, New Haven, Pueblo,
Wilmington, Springfield, Dubuque, Des
Moines, Washington, Lowell, New Or-
Gentral W. P. Duvall, commanding
Hi*- department of ths gulf In Atlanta,
and General Thomas Barry, of Wash-
InKlon, D. C„ who preceded General
DuvtUl aa commander of the local de-
i nitment, have been ordered by the

burg; Chester, Pa.; Providence, Mil
waukee and Atlanta. Theae courts
vary with the different need* of the
various communities, but their basic
principles are the same.
With a hardened adult criminal, the
Idea of the law Is to punish the In
dividual so that the mesa of the people
will be Inttmdated from following In
his footsteps. It la quite different with
the Juvenile court Idea.
Idea la To 6ave.
Jtere the basic Idea >* ,n ssve the
Individual child from becoming a vl
cions adult, and not to punish him.
except so far as such punishment may
help In his reformation. In Juvenile
courts, the child as soon as he Is ar
rested I* placed In a detention ward
separated entirely from the prison for
adults. In the most up-to-date juven
ile courts, there Is a school room with
books, blackboard and a mntron ti
teach him hi* lesson* while he Is un
der detention. He la detained In this
wsrd until the probation officer can
And out all the facta In hla caae, visit
the home If necessary, talk with hla
parents, and eee his home environ'
tnent. The probation officer then
bring* the child before the court and
statea to the Judge all that he has
learned about the boy, the case against
him, the boy's parents and his home
surroundings. The court then deter
mines whether to dismiss the case, to
put the boy on probation and let him
return home, or to place him In aomo
other home or Institution, where his
surroundings will be better. In a Ju
venlle court, the probation officer Is
even more necessary than the Judge.
He should he a many-sided man, i
man of big heart, but of eound judg'
ment; gentle an a woman, but firm as
adamant, end as patient ae Job him
self . When a child la put on probation
by the court, the probation officer at
once takes charge of him, takes him
Into his office, has a long talk with
him anti his parents, makes arrange
ments for the child to write him once
n week, stating what he Is doing, and
visits the home of the child as often aa
possible, so that he can see for him
self how (he child I* doing. If (he boy
Is neither at work nor nt school, the
sltlon or get him Into school. In other
words, the probntlon officer, when he
finds the child lo be without parents
nr without proper parents, must act os
the chlld'e guardian and do for him
what he would do for htw own child.
As has been well said, the homeless
wolf has a right to ssy, "When my
father and my mother forsake me,
then the stale shall lake .me tip.”
There Is no greater work than that
of helping little children to become
wd rttlxens and let us hope that this
ovement will spread so rapidly
throughout our state that when your
next convention meets, every mayor of
every town and city In Georgia can
visa and atate that hla municipality has
a Juvenile court.
