THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 10, 1916. BILL WOULD PART CHILD MID POLITICS SCENES AT THE GERMAN RED CROSS BAZAAR NOW IN PROGRESS AT THE GERMAN HOUSE. mm' And Aronson is doing very well, thank you, good people, all! T r - miiiminiwinil nil yr iv "j. Mrs. Stephens' Measure Pro poses State-Wide Work m for Young Criminals. TRAINED CORPS REQUIRED Revision of Present System Contem plated and Commissioners for Each County to Be Named to Handle Minor Cases. A measure designed to take the Mult nomah County Juvenile Court out of politics for all time, to broaden Its field to Include the whole state and to have Its work conducted by trained educators In child welfare work who have studied the problems of defective and delinquent children and their cor rection, has bpen prepared for the com ing Legislature by Mrs. Alva Lee Ste phens, president of the Multnomah County Council of Parent-Teacher As sociations. The bill has the. strong- support of the Parent-Teacher Associations and has been Indorsed by educators to whom Mrs. Stephens has outlined It. In place of the present Juvenile Court, which is now under the Jurisdiction of the County Court, the measure pro posed by Mrs. Stephens creates a bu reau of juvenile and parental relations. This bureau Is to be administered by three trained educators of unusual qualifications. One Must Be Woman. These qualifications are In part out lined by the measure.- It provides that they must have been scientifically trained in psychology, anatomy and physiology and the effects of diseased organs on the brain, as for example the relation of adenoids, diseased ton sils, bad teeth, etc, to backwardness in mentality They must also have had a broad general education and experi ence In working with children. Of the three members of this bureau one must be a woman who. In addl'.lon to the scientific qualifications required, must understand the influence of home work and domestio life on children. The measure provides a salary of f600 a year for the chairman of the bureau and $2500 a year for the two other members. Especial care Is taken In the bill to keep these appointments out of politics. To this end it is pro vided that they shall be appointed, aft er thorough investigation of their qual ifications, by a non-salaried board com posed of the president of the Univer sity of Oregon, the president of Oregon Agricultural College, the president of the Monmouth Normal School, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and the president of Reed College. Commissioner "Would Be Named. Headquarters of the proposed bureau of Juvenile and parental relations are to be maintained In the Multnomah County Courthouse in Portland. But, to make its scope state-wide, the bill pro vides for the appointment by the bu reau of at least one juvenile commis sioner in each county of the state, and more as needed. These juvenile commissioners are to have entire Jurisdiction in their re spective counties of cases in which of age are involved. The commission ers are to be under the direct super vision of the bureau, but their salaries will be paid by the respective counties. Some of this work Is expected to be voluntary. Small cases would be settled by these commissioners themselves, subje:. . to the Jurisdiction of the bureau. The more serious cases would be remanded to the bureau and a special study would be made of the child's case. This study would Include a thorough physical ex amination 'and investigation into the child's antecedents, environment and such Important factors. The corrective treatment considered suited to the case would then be given. Jail Sentence Possible. Vv here children proved to be abso lutely incorrigible, abnormally addict ed to crime, mentally defective and the like, they would be remanded to the criminal courts for trial. But the bill particularly provides that if sentenced to Jail, such children must not be con fined in the same building or permitted to be in the same inclosure as adult criminals. "This bill Is the result of very care ful study of the child problem extend ing over a period of several years." said Mrs. Stephens. "It has been in dorsed by many educators, with whom I have discussed It. It is true that it may seem a radical departure from the present methods In some Instances, but radical changes are certainly necessary In our treatment of child criminals, and we might as well be the pioneers In the field. "I have gathered statistics covering the cost of establishing and maintain ing the proposed Bureau of Juvenile and Parental Relations, and I can say now that we shall not ask the Legis lature for an additional appropriation to install It. Present Fonda Sufficient. "All we shall ask is that the funds now spent on Juvenile court work be diverted to the bureau. These funds will be sufficient for its support. "Under our present system, it is not too much to say that the child does not have a fair chance. I do not Intend it as criticism when I say that our judges are not men qualified by ex perience or training to deal with the peculiar problems of children. Being versed in the principles of Jurispru dence and those of child welfare are very different things, and no matter how learned and just a Judge may be, there is nothing in his study and knowledge that in any way qualifies RUB RHEUMATIC PAIN RIGHT OUT Don't Suffer!

"Again, I do not wish to be thought to criticise any person or persons when I say that the staffs of our juvenile courts are composed for the most Dart of persons who have had no expe rience that qualifies them to deal un derstanding with children. So it is not surprising that in many cases children who come before the Juvenile Court are worse off afterwards than before. ' , Causes Declared Ignored. "Under the preseni system the edu cational factor in dealing with child criminals is virtually ignored. There is no scientific research Into the causes that have contributed to the delin quency of children. The court deals with the fact of its being delinquent, which is only a symptom, and not with the cause behind the symptom, whiqh is the real disease. "It is the purpose of the Bureau of Juvenile and Parental Relations to re verse this process. It will study the child itself, not the crime, and its mem bers being trained in that work, their research work. and their treatment of children will amount to something. "The bureau will go further even than that. It Is provided in the bill that It is to have jurisdiction over all state institutions where children are confined. It may Investigate and re move children from these institutions to more favorable environments at any time. System Considered at Fault. "The time has passed when the child should be used to pay political debts, as it has been and is being used.. "It isn't neoessary to be an expert student of criminal law to handle chil dren. But It is necessary to have knowledge of children and the prob lems of childhood and how to cope with them. "It is thoroughly Illogical that the criminal law should be Invoked when dealing with children, as it is invoked under our present system. I hold no one person or group of person3 respon sible for this systerrfl ' But I do hold that it is vital that this system be replaced with one founded on correct principles. "A very Important feature of the bureau's work will be what might be called 'follow-up' work. Long after the child's reform has been accom plished, the bureau will see that its environment is such that its character will be developed along correct lines. Character building will be a most Im portant feature." Mrs. Stephens also Is preparing a measure along co-operative lines, the purpose of which is establishment of a state public school, such as have been successful In Minnesota, Wisconsin and other Eastern states. The principle on which establishment of this institu tion will be sought is that the state Is responsible for its children, and should take the part of a parent for depend ent, incorrigible, neglected and orphan children. "We do not believe that the mere housing of children in state institu tions as at present is giving the child a fair chance," explained Mrs. Stephens. "We should have a state institution where children will have all the train ing and advantages' of the child in a good home. There should be cultural as well as manual and industrial train ing, and the Institution should be one to which no stigma is attached, unlike the reform school. "Such a school should be built on the cottage plan to obtain the best results. Cultural training of the chil dren would begin from babyhood. It would resemble as nearly as possible a parental school. Delinquent children would, of course, be segregated in cer tain buildings." GERMAN BAZAAR Ofl Town Named for J. 1. Miles. J. D. Miles, of Livingston.

He has been treasurer of the Heilig for five years. indifferently cared for and who, un less sustained by nourishing food, can not expect to outlast the rigorous Siberian Winter.

VICTIM, 3, T0 GET- $750 Street Railway Company Confesses Judgment In Injury Case. MUllcent Hooper, 3 years of ase, will receive $750 damages from the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company for Injuries received in a collision be tween a streetcar andV an, automobile driven by J. ,A.

Suit was filed for $750 against the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany by Edward Hooper, father of the girl, yesterday, and with it was filed the confession of judgment of the rail way company. 'We are advertised by our lov ing friends." And that's just as true of Aron son's Great Unloading as it was of Pears' Soap. J I wish I could tell you the many in cidents some amusing:, some touching, some sentimental that occur here al most every hour of the day. There's a hurrying- and a scurrying for the treasures that Aronson is liter ally pouring- out to eager hands. An umbrella for father a brooch for mother a watch for son a lavalliere for sis ter a ring for sweetheart. What a world of love and sentiment flows in and out through Aronson's doors during these cool, crisp shop ping days ! v Everybody's going to get a gift this Christmas! I'm certain of that, for I've stood and counted 'em come and go until I gave it up. Seems like every body knows the road to Aronson's. And those little window-wishers! But then I can't write of them the smoke gets in my eyes and makes the lines run together. But I know of some one who's got a big corner in his heart for them, for he's got none of his own, and But I mustn't tell tales. And just see what that irrepressible Rueff, the diamond expert, did: Professor ' Montrose M. Ringler, proprietor of Ringler's Dancing Academy, has been reading our ads. The other morning he stepped into the store and gave us the once over. Rueff spread out his treasures before the terpsi chorean pedagogue. "Don't think you can interest me, young man," said Mr. Ringler, who is a judge of diamonds as well as of dancing; "I think I can go down to the wholesale houses and beat your prices." "Try it," said Rueff, smiling; "you'll be back," In less than an hour Mr. Ringler was back. "You -win," said he, and then he proceeded to select and pay. for two lovely diamond rings one a woman's, one a man's also a woman's beautiful gold Swiss watch and a man's fine watch. They're to be given as prizes at his "most popular dancer" contest. And there was Bankoff, the famous Russian dancer and Orpheum headliner. He stepped into the store one day last wee"k, looked around and asked a few prices. Usually San Francisco sells Bankoff all his Christmas presents but not this year. Aronson, of Portland, sells them this year. Among the gifts.that Bankoff bought were some lovely cameo brooches for members of his company, a beautiful seal ring set with diamonds, an Oriental pearl ring with solid platinum mounting set with small diamonds one of Aronson's own designs; also a lovely solid platinum bracelet with diamond and sapphire setting, and a fine leather bag fitted with a fine French ivory set. And the company came back strong. The members came down to Aronson's in a body and selected for Bankoff a solid gold initialed cigarette case set with two diamonds, with the names of the members of the company also engraved on the case. (It was Ernest Deeds that sold this case. It was just like being waited on by King Alfonso!) Store open evenings This is the wherefore for Aronson's big diamond sell ing: $50 diamond rings for $36.73. $100 diamond rings for $68.50. $150 diamond rings for $108.50. $50 diamond mounted bracelets, $36.50. $125 diamond mounted bracelet, $89.50. $12.50 diamond lavalliere for $7.85. $75 diamond mounted platinum lavalliere for $56.50. $400 platinum mounted dia mond lavalliere, $296.50. And here's just a few of Aronson's treasures that he's unloading. The onlyi differ ence between these beautiful things and the ones you find elsewhere is that here the prices are less ! Aronson's no porcine quadruped he'd rather sell to ten customers at a profit of ten cents each than to one at a profit of a dollar! And that's the solemn truth. $15 hand-painted pitcher for $9.95. $3.50 hand-painted -plate for $2.30. $2.00 hand-painted plate for $1.10. $7.50 silk umbrellas for $4.85. $20 14k gold-handled umbrella for $13.35. $5 umbrella for $3.35. $3.50 solid gold tie pins, $2.35. $2 sterling French cuff links for $1. $3.50 belts with sterling buckles for $1.85. $12 mesh bags for $7.83. $12 sterling vanity case for $8.75. $22.50 sterling cigarette case for $16.85. $15 genuine cameo brooches, solid gold, for $10.85. $12.50 genuine cameo brooches for $8.65. $150 solid gold mesh bags for $108.50. $250 solid gold mesh bag for $187. $70 Sheffield 5-piece tea set for $43.85. $16 3-piece silver tea set for $20 sterling silver vase, $14.50. $92 Sterling 4-piece tea set for $69.85. $10 sterling butter dish, $7.35. $3.50 stern' ng salt and pepper shakes for $2.60.

A R ON Jewelers Goldsmiths Opticians Washington Street at Broadway SEALS SELL SWIFTLY FUND TO FIGHT TUBERCUtOSIS GROWS CRATIFTIXGLY. One Donor Given $100 to President 911 1 la to Aid Campaign Eugene Contributions .Are Many. A red-faced man marched Into the office of A. L. Mills, president of the First National Bank, yesterday. "I don't live In your state." he began. "I only come across the river on busi ness, and yet you send me an envelope filled with little picture cards." and with the words he threw down on Mr. Mills' desk the sheet of Red Cross Christmas seals the banker had sent him as president of the Oregon Asso ciation for the Prevention of Tuber culosis. Suddenly the visitor's face softened. "That work Is so much worth while that the seals you sent don't cover what I would like to do for It, even if I do live in Washington," he said. Almost shyly he passed over a check for $100. "Please don't' use my name." he pleaded as he got up to go. "Just say it was a friend of a good cause." As Mr. Mills was telling Mrs. Saldie Orr Dunbar, secretary o the associa tion, of the - incident, the telephone rang. The message was from Mrs. W. P. Boynton, who is in charge of the Ked Cross seal Bales in Eugene. "I can't wait to write you a letter' she said. "I must have more seals right away. I sent seals to the booths and to the schools, apportioning them about as lastr-year, but half of the booths and nearly all the schools have sold out. Unless we get an additional supply by tomorrow we will have to su upend operations while we wait." By the next mall 10.000 Red Cross Christmas seals were on the way to Eugene. It makes 400,000 furnished that city during the present seal sale campaign. The seals sell for a penny apiece, and the proceeds are used in carrying on the work of the Oregon Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis.
