MILLER General Passenger Agent CHICAGO OBJECTS OF THE SOCIETY Care of Neglected, Dependent or Delinquent Children Adoption, Transportation and Cases for Hospitals OBJECTS OF THE JUVENILE COURT RECORD The object of THE JUVENILE COURT RECORD is to disseminate the principles of the Juvenile Court throughout the United States, and, in fact, the entire world. When the Juvenile Court was first established the sociologists of the entire country stood by watching anxiously the outcome of this new departure in child-saving methods. It was roalized that a medium was needed whereby the results accomplished by the Juuenile Court might be set forth in an intelligent manner. The JUVENILE COURT RECORD stepped into the breach and has devoted its pages exclusively to news of the various juvenile courts. As a result of the publicity thus given to the foundation principlle and routine work of the Cook County Juvenile Court other States have passed juvenile court laws, and bills are being prepared in nearly every State in the Union to be presented at the next sessions of the Legislatures of the various States providing for similar legislation.

"A MORALITY TRUST." To Prevent the Sale of Liquor to Minors. A "morality trust," in which the Liquor Dealers' Protective Association and the Juvenile Protective League are the component parts, is the newest reform movement in Chicago. The "good" saloon-keeper has been under rated as a moral agent and his possibilities have been neglected by the various reform societies, in the opinion of W. J. Fraser, principal of the David Swing school, West 16th and String streets, who organized the "merger." The purpose for which the two organizations have agreed to work in harmony is to prevent the sale of intoxicating liquor to minors. The saloonkeepers, at their last monthly meeting, took official action, agreeing 10 co-operate fully with the Juvenile Protective league in securing the observance of the law against this traffic. Mr. Fraser is president of District Two of the Juvenile league, comprising the 9th and 10th wards. For years he has worked for better conditions for children in his district. "We have found that by our arrangement with the liquor dealers we can capture by peaceful means 90 per cent of the enemy and be free to concentrate our efforts on the remaining 10 per cent. "When the Juvenile Protective league made the first overtures to the Liquor Dealers' association we were met fully half-way by President Ernest Kunde, Secretary John Cervenka and other influential members. In the week that our agreement has been in effect we have already observed excellent results. Our inspectors report to Chief Probation Officer Henry W. Thurston that children sent to the saloons are now seen coming away with empty pails." Substance of the Agreement. The substance of the agreement between the Juvenile league and the Liquor Dealers' association is this: he Liquor Dealers' association is to exercise all its influence to prevent the sale of liquor to minors. The Liquor Dealers' association is to hare a grievance committee, to which complaints of first offense may be made by the Juvenile league. For a second offense the Juvenile league is to institute legal prosecution against the offending saloonkeeper. Probation Officers to Aid. ' Chief Probation Officer Thurston has arranged to have the thirty probation officers act as inspectors to report cases of sale of liquor to minors. A similar arrangement is to be made with the city truant officers. |
