almost lost" when such problem reach the juvenile court which ah characterised as the fourth line ot defense "I think that very few people are really aware ot the work that the Ju venile and domestic relations court does I am not a crusader It I were we could probably get better support of our work "In the first place little I known ot it because the law emphasise the fact that the court mutt be a private affair We Indict society for the child being there but do not indict the child do not wish to promote a feel ing ot criminality on part of children "Th Juvenile court handles th cases ot all children under eighteen years ot age aven murder case "Then" Mid Mr Harris the delinquent and dependent dren to care for The state of glnla care for delinquent however we do not send them sway tn the
