Declaring that the county assumed the burden of the juvenile court be fore it had sufficient means to support such an institution and agreeing with Judge Pendleton in many of the judge's criticisms. Solicitor General Philip Waltner, of the juvenile court, today answered the statements made by Judge Pendleton before the Fulton grand jury yesterday. “Yes, I read the article about the children’s court," said Solicitor Welt ner. "I can not believe that Judge Pen dleton meant that the court was an aid to crime. I know he did not. “The children’s court has been a re markable factor for good in the lives of hundreds of children. It deserves the confidence of the people of Atlanta. The trouble is that the county assumed the burden of the court when it was not ready to go the full Jength of furnish ing it with ail the equipment It need ed. "The detention home Is admittedly a makeshift, but even at that it is bet ter than the former children's ward at the police station. That It could be conducted in a much better way and with vastly better results I would not undertake to deny. “As far as Judge Pendleton’s recom mendation concerns a reformatory for negro boys, you can quote me as saying that this is sadly needed. The one at Milledgeville is a Juvenile penitentiary, and ought not to be called a reforma tory at ail. Unless you have a refor matory, probation will be a rather lame expedient. This method needs to be backed up by the certain knowledge that violations of probationary require ments will land the offender in a re formatory. "But to suppose tor a moment that negro boys are not amenable to pro bation. if it is properly conducted, is a mighty sad mistake. The county ought to do all It can to provide a re form school for negroes; it ought to build a detention home and employ a. person to run it who knows something about such institutions. "Mr. Tindall, the chief probation offi cer, has a big problem on his hands, and with the small staff of assistants he now' has, the problems loom up a great deal bigger than they otherwise would. “I believe in the children's court. It's the court of the future and Its funda mental principles will some day be uni versally applied to the problems of adul crime." GIRL, 8, WILL RIDE CHAMPION JUMPER AT GOTHAM SHOW NEW YORK.
