Expert, in Church Talk, Points
Out Causes of Juvenile
Delinquency.
REFORM SCHOOLS USELESS
They Never Ilefomi," Doelnres Judge)
Galena at Fin Congrcgutlonal
Cluircli PaHor Dyott Saya
Wont Youth Has Good.
The reform school never reforms
boy any more than the penitentiary
does a man," said W. X. Gatens, Judge
of the Juvenile Court, In an address at
the First Congregational Church last
night. Judge Gatens said the causes of
Juvenile delinquency were povesty, neg
lect of parents, demoralizing moving
pictures, divorce, lack of moral training
In the home and school and the cxlt-j
Dr. Luther R. Pyott. pastor of the
church, said: "We should have, lust
now, at least 400 men who will become
Big Brothers.'-
The pastor said the right kind of com
panlonshlp Is one of the things the
little brother" needs to make him an
upright citizen.
Judge Gatens said In part:
"Most all child crime is traceable to
poverty, brought on through the death
of one or both parents, through Indus
trial conditions or through the separa
tion of the parenta by divorce. In most
cases of divorce the children are awardod
to the mother, who has little or no means
of support for herself and her children
with the result that she is compelled to
seek employment and to place her little
onea with strangers who have no per
onal Interest In the children. No won
der the children get away from the con
trol of parents and fall Into crime.
Parenta Are to Blaine.
"Then we have the over-Indulgent par.
ents who permit their children to do as
they please, stsy out at night, choose
their own associates and their own
amusements. Children are not hard to
manage or please If you study them.
Sosne need a good sound thrashing. Tha
most effective way In my opinion to
control a boy Is to gain his confidence.
T think parents should impress upon
the child Its good qualities, appealing
to Its pride and not continually telling
It Its bad habits. Boys should be en
couraged, not discouraged. Fathers
should make companions of them as
much as possible and try to get them to
bring their troubles home without fear,
for remember, 'that tyranny Is the
father of treason.'
I think that moving picture thea
ters, though interesting and Instructive,
too often show pictures of the pranks of
bad boys, of burglary and highway rob
bery; scenes which ars highly demoraliz
ing. As Pope says:
Vice la a monster of so frightful mien.
As to be haled needs but to be seen.
Yet seen too oft. familiar with the face.
We first endure, then pity, then embraoe.
The boy who visits the moving pic
ture show and seea these things soon
looks lightly upon the seriousness of
such crimes with the result that ho Is
pt to imitate the pranks displayed and
soon finds himself In serious trouble.
These scenes In the moving picture
hows should not be permitted.
J It-form School Is Rapped.
"No boy should be committed to the
reform school If there Is any hope for
him. for the reform school never reforms
done, there were the spirit and practice
of the big-brother movement.
Movement Comes Here.
"Here In Portland the movement Is
now being inaugurated, and every man
who has a place In his heart for a boy,
especially the boy who. is not altogether
good, ought to enlist In this movement.
Who are some of the boys needing us?
They are such boys as are brought be
fore our Juvenile Court, and such as
are in danger of committing such deeds
as would cause them to be taken there:
others who are defective physically and
morally, and others who, for many rea
sons, need a big brother.
"The first filing is for a man to be
genuinely interested In such, a boy
Then ha must find the point of contact
in the boy. As a rule, this can be done
through something In which the big
brother and this strange little brother
are mutually Interested.
"If It Is durinar the ball-game season.
take him to see a game of ball, and
when he feels like 'hollering' let him
'holler'; perhaps It might not hurt you
to shout with h m. Take mm to in
circus. If It be circus time; take him to
see a good, clean play at tne tneater
once in a while. Take a long walk
with him Into the country. Have him
visit you in your home. Visit him in
his home. Get acquainted with his par
ents, if they are living: get acquainted
with his teacher. If he attends scnooi
Find out the studies In which he is not
so much Interested, and help him to
become Interested.
Take Him to Church.
"Go with him to his church, and If he
wishes to visit your church, take him
to your pew and. after services, intro
duce him to your friends. Encourage
him to establish habits of reading.
Teach him lessons of Industry, thrift
and economy.
"Help him In the ways he needs to be
helped, but always make him more self
reliant by showing him how to help
himself. There Is enough good In the
worst boy to make a good man. Find
that good, and help the boy educe It.
My appeal la. therefore, to men who
can. If they will. Join the big-brother
movement and help the boys who need
you. We should have. Just now, at
least 400 men who will serve in this
movement."

gentle sloping hillsides at the south end of the city. This
section is named Burlingame. It is within fifteen minutes' ride of
town and the running time is assured. There are no bridges to
cross. . It is admitted that the West Side is the place to have one's
home if one can afford to. In Burlingame the prices at pres

have every advantage that is necessary to the ideal homesite.

Condensed Milk riant Planned.
MARSHFIELD. Or., Jan. 15. (Special.)
Tho Coos Bay Creamery Company, ope
rating a creamery on Coos River, has
made plans for starting a condensed m'lk
plant. The company has a market for
all the condensed milk that It can manu

turned out every year. A committee has
been appointed to solicit stock to the
amount ot $10,000 from the farmers.
With "Existing Systems and Experi
ments In Moral Education in Europe,
Japan and America," as his subject, Pro
fessor H. D. Sheldon, head of the depart
ment of education at the University of
Oregon, who lectured" at the Unitarian
Church last night, told what had been
done in different countrlea toward moral
instruction In the .schools.
Japan, said Professor Sheldon, was the
first country to introduce moral Instruc
tion In schools, having taken up the
work In 1891 Reports of educators who
have visited the country indicate that
the movement has met success In the
common schools. In some of the larger
schools. In some Instances, instructors
have proved unsatisfactory and the
method has not shown so good results.
Japan and France, he Said, were the
only nations which have dealt with moral
Instructions from a National point of
view.
The lecturer said that about half of
England's schools 'were open to moral
Instruction, while Felix Adler, who con
ducts a large private school In New
Tork. has Introduced moral Instruction
In his institution with good results.
"It Is really only 10 years since this
movement has been started," said Pro
fessor Sheldon, "and It is hardly possible
to tell yet how satisfactory the results
will be, but where conditions are favor
able, where the people are ready, and
where conditions and teachers are such
that the teachers will take hold of this,
much excellent work can ba done in the
schools. My personal opinion is that
teachers interested in moral instruction
should prepare themselves and have an
opportunity to teach. Probably In this
way the best results can be obtained.
"A more violent and appreciative ap
plication of history and literature would,
in my opinion, do a great deal In this
work. Morality Is not negative; It is
positive, and no amount of negative
treatment will help; we must have a
positive method."
In his closing remarks Professor Shel
don said that a great deal of good could
be accomplished if moral teaching were
applied at tha various children's play
grounds. WANDERER FINDS SELF

OREGON ASYLUM FAVORED
Governor of Alaska Opposes Keep
Ing Insane in North.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
I nir ton. Jan. 15. In view of the at
tempts made at the last, session o
Congress to secure legislation for the
establishment of an Insane asylum at
some point In Alaska, for the perma
nent treatment of all Insane residents
of that territory, the following rrom
tha annual report of Governor Clark
becomes of Interest:
"The number of Alaska insane per
sons in the sanitarium at Mount Tabor,
Portland. Or.. Is now 122. This is a
decrease of 11 since one year ao, al
though prior to that time the number
of Alaska Insane had been increasing
rather steadily. The Insane are cared
for at Mount Tabor under a contract
made April 28, 1909, at the rate ot
$330 per annum per capita. In my opin
ion this arrangement is much more
satisfactory than the plan proposed
of constructing an asylum In Alaska
for the care of insane. Their treatment
is much more likely to be successful
In a climate milder In Winter than the
Interior of Alaska, and less cloudy and
rainy than the Alaska coast."
