A good citizen is one who contributes to the end and object of his country. A good citizen is determined by the meaning of our country and its institutions. Our country means that the people have come into their own, that society is not for the few, but for the many. In awakening to the consciousness that the welfare of the many is the end of society, we have likewise come to a realization that in order to attain this end the many must have a say in the direction and control of society, that is, in government. We hold that all , the just powers of government have their

origin in the comments of the governed and that it is the right of the people to frame such a government as will best insure their safety and happiness. But that they may do this they must have knowledge, they must be intelligent, they must be virtuous. To be a good sovereign, the people, the democracy, must be intelligent and virtuous. This the people cannot be unless the indiviual citizen, or the vast majority of individual citizens, are intelligent and virtuous. In other words, we need today, even more than other forms of government in other days, the virtues of prudence, justice,

fortitude, temperance, industry and social spirit. It is the possession of these that measures men's value to the State.

The young of the irrational animals speedily come to the full enjoyment of their powers, including instinct. The development of the young of the humankind is a long and tedious process to maturity, giving time for the expanding of all their powers to do, and to discriminate or reason. This is a period of dependency in which the children have an abnormal status before the law, that is, they are without legal responsibility or full legal capacity. This is the period in which to acquire habits of obedience in the house and school, which become respect for the laws in the mature citizen.

The Juvenile Court is born of these considerations and the realization that, during childhood, the young are in a formative period in which to develop good habits and for infractions of law should receive correction rather than punishment. Now correction involves the idea of adjustment of conduct to improved standards, involves the idea of education and culture, and herein lies the opportunity of the Juvenile Court to aid good citizenship. This court exercising the chancery powers of the State as (parens patriae), places needy children. bereft of their parents in proper care and guardianship, with due regard to the rights of conscience of the children, carefully seeking for the homeless child a home of its own religious convictions, and rescue chil

dren from vicious and immoral surroundings.

These courts punish adults who debauch the young or influence them to illegal acts. They enforce the child labor legislation intended for the conversation of childhood through its growing years so that it may be saved from arrested development and given a chance to unfold its powers in a more natural way. These courts enforce the laws requiring the husband and father to support the wife and children in full conviction that the securing of this right of support will safeguard the family, the true unit in the State, and preserve its children from starvation and the need that drive to the temptations of the street and to crime. The juvenile court aims to so intelligently handle the children who have violated the laws of the State as to cor1ect their evil doings and to save these children to themselves and to the community.

In conclusion, these courts, in a painstaking manner, instruct the children in their duties and their rights, and strive to awaken their self-respect. From the Juvenile Court it is hoped that our citizens of tomorrow will derive knowledge and imbibe the spirit of obedience to the laws of their country. This truly educative function makes the Juvenile Court the complement of the public school, and demands in the judge the qualities of the jurist, the teacher, the sociologist, and the philantrophist.

THE FIRST JUVENILE COURT

Full many a man has gained renown, and brought great credit to his home town, by claiming he started in his own way these Juvenile Courts that we have today. But I wish to go on record and state that all of these lawyers are years too late. 'Twas in seventy-three that my old man ran a small court on the juvenile plan.

Right back of our house, in the old woodshed, was the courtroom where I often was led. Presiding as judge was my own father, who had any trouble or bother, but handled our cases with justice grand, while mother stood on the witness stand.

Some one of us kids was in court every week-of things that transpired we cared

not to speak-for a hickory stick and dad's strong arm kept many a kid from future harm. Special sessions of court he'd often hold, and impose a sentence both swift and bold. Though many things happened behind our backs, instinct informed us that nothing was lax, for this kind of punishment makes you feel that it's best to stand up when eating a meal.

Though none of us kids grew up to be saints, no one has ever made any complaints. None of us ever were carted to jail, or needed a lawyer to see about bail. For which we thank father, the very first man to establish a court on the juvenile plan. Old Man Darby.
