Club Group Hears Jurist Judge Schaeffer Discusses Aims Of Juvenile Court Treatment of boys in reforma tories can only be likened to treatment of hospitals if every patient were kept in the pest house, according to President Judge Paul N. Schaeffer of Berks county, in his address before the municipal departmnet of the Civic Club yesterday afternoon. "White Hill is a tragedy," said the jurist Back of. the juvenile court is the thought that the boy should be saved from a life of crime and not be sent to a reformatory where he learns all the ways of evil.

"It is social defense," said Judge Shaeffer "to rehabilitate him and return him to society." No judge has a right to decide arbitrarily as to the length of imprisonment of a young offender, the speaker said. This should be the province of someone who makes a study of every phase of the boy's life and who then has power to decide how long a pe riod it would take to cure him of criminal tendencies. Judge Schaeffer told of the wonderful work of the Boys' Home in Reading the record of which shows not over fifteen per cent, of discharged boys who have returned to crime. This is in contrast to the survey reports showing that eighty five per cent, of boys discharged from reformatories return to crime. Mrs.
