Delinquency Problems Not
'Solved' by Dumping Youths
v Into Unsegrega ted Prisons
(Editor's Note: Society breathes!
a sigh of relief when a juvenile
delinquent, convicted of a crime,
is put away. But it wouldn't feel
as safe if it knew what happens
then. Here are some of the rea
sons why too often a delinquent
may come out a professional crim
inal and why a solution to the
problem is so difficult)
By SAUL PETT '
' AP Newsfeatures Writer
An outrageous crime by a juve
nile delinquent - invariably is fol
lowed by great public shock, in
dignation or tongue-clucking about
the new generation.
There are loud demands . for
awift, stern justice. Many people
call for a "solution" to the prob
lem. Some try to assess blame
on the parents, on society, on our
culture. They ask whatever hap
pened to our moral fiber?
Having thus blown off steam,
most of us turn to the sports
pages. Few7 pay any attention to
what happens to the youthful of
fender after the courts finish with
him.
Yet the ways in which society
tries to segregate, treat and re
habilitate, its young criminals rep
resents the other side of the mon
umental coin called the juvenile
delinquency problem.
How big is the problem?
Frightened Child
The juvenile delinquent today
may be just a kid who breaks
windows. But, by FBI count, he
also commits more than half - of
the nation's car thefts, almost half
of all burglaries, nearly a .fifth
of all robberies, 18.2 per cent of
all rapes and 4 per cent of all
criminal homicides.
The juvenile delinquent today is
a frightening .national statistic but,
in the minds of experts, he also
is a sick, frightened child. What
do we do with him?
The US. Children's Bureau re
ports that in 1953 (the. last year
for which statistics are available)
about 435,000 boys and girls were
brought before juvenile courts for
delinquency; perhaps as many as
1,250,000 were dealt with by the
police; and a great many more
completely escaped the attention
of the law.
In that one year, more than 40,
000 were committed to state in
stitutions for juvenile delinquents.
What are these institutions like
.the ones we used to call reform
schools but which now are gen
erally known as training or indus
trial schools? Are they doing a
Job? Or are they "deforming,
more than reforming?
Great Improvement
The answer from the experts is
that these schools generally have
shown great improvement, have
helped many children, have moved
far but in some cases, not Tar
enough from the days of public
whipping posts, semi-official sad
ism, inadequate diets and filthy
quarters. v
The same experts admit the
same schools still have great room
for improvement. that some are
plainly still terrible.
Judge Samuel Liebowitz of New
York, famed for his experience
with criminals young and old, re
cently visited an industrial school
in his state. He was shocked to
find thieves and murderers side
litr eia 4 loorn that tViA eHst1
didn't have a full-time psychiatrist
for its 500 "twisted .maladjusted
youngsters."
. "These so-called correctional in
stitutes are mere dumping
grounds, human junk yards where
the good, the bad and the indif
ferent are herded together," the
judge said.
Filled Pipe
. . It's just like a pipe that
is all filled. If you push something
in one end, you force something!
out the other end. Therefore,, young
criminals who are far from re
habilitated must, perforce, be pa
roled from this institution long be
fore they should be thrown back
into the community.
It is fortunate for Judge Liebo
witz' nervous system that , he
doesn't travel more.
He would find many juvenile
schools around the country where
murderers mingle with petty
thieves and truants, where psy
chotics and psychopaths live with
the mildly disturbed where the in
telligent walk with the feeble
minded and moronic.
A survey by the U.S. Children's
Bureau shows that at least two
out of five schools have more in
mates than they can adequately
handle (about 200 is regarded as
the maximum); three out of five
don't have a full or part-time psy
chiatrist; two out of five don't
have a full or part-time 'social
worker; two out of five don't have
a foil or part-time psychologist.

on juvenile delinquency, fives this1
picture of the average school:
It suffers from a lack of clin
ical services (psychiatrists, psy
chologists, social workers); it has
too many people on the staff with
insufficient insight, understanding
and emotional stability of their
own to deal with disturbed young
minds; it usually is too big, too
crowded and has too great a va
riety of inmates.
Many Don't Come Back
How effective, or ineffective,
are such schools in rehabilitating
delinquents? yThere is as yet no
sure way of Knowing. Many schools
will tell you that 60 to 75 per cent
of their graduates, in a given year,
don't come back and don't go to
the state penitentiary:
But these same officials quickly
admit the inadequacy of their sta
tistics. They have no idea how
many boys end up in adult prison
in later years or in other states.
And there is no statistical way
of measuring how often this hap
pens: A boy is paroled as rehabili
tated. He lives up to parole regu
lations and thereafter the school
loses trace of him.
In fact, he may for several years
live a so-called normal life, per
haps even as model citizen. And
then suddenly he commits a hor
rible, irrational crime.
Why? Psychiatrists will tell you
it was because he was emotionally
sick to begin with; that the school
treatment never got to the roots
of the sickness although he may
have learned some superficial
things about getting along with
people.
Understanding Staff
Thus, authorities stress the need
for trained professionals at' such
schools, for an understanding staff,
for a relaxed atmosphere, where
a boy will begin to feel emotional
ly safe, where be can open
up and discuss his darkest
troubles and fears. ;
But then this kind of thing hap
pens: A boy returns from a visit
with the. psychiatrist. His cottage
officer asks. Oh, been to the nu
doctor, eh?""
''With many people on the staff
who Tad . to understand the prob
lem, many boys leave such schools
just as sick, perhaps even sicker
than when they came, said a Mid
western psychiatrist.-
An effective treatment pro
gram requires clearly formulated
standards as well as mature, sen
sitive and understanding person
nel, said a report of the National
Conference on Juvenile Delinquen
cy, called by the federal govern
ment in Washington last year.
But at current prices mature,
sensitive and understanding per
sonnel are hard to come by. In a
Tennessee school, field - officers
start at $100 a month. Around the
country, the average cottage offi
cer earns about $2,000 a year plus
maintenance. i
Under One Roof
v This is much too little, say men
in the field, for the trying task
of supervising, controlling ' and
guiding anywhere from 40 to 90
disturbed delinquents under one
roof.
Corporal punishment is used by
many schools to deal with the
worst disciplinary cases. It is
justified by officials on the ground
that, since they are overcrowded
and understaffed, they must em
ploy such means.
Some schools have outlawed
corporal punishment completely
and found that loss of privileges
and other penalties prove just as
effective in maintaining discipline.
This is the practice at the Colo
rado Industrial School for. Boys
near Golden. This school, .inci
dentally, has improved consider
ably in the six years since a 14-year-old
boy hung himself with a
towel, in a jail cell there.
The suicide occurred on a Satur
day. On the following Monday, the
superintendent ordered the destruc
tion of the school's four discipli
nary cells.
Last year a representative group
of training school superintendents
met, under the guidance of the U.
Grain Prices

Chicago (A Grain prices held
within ' narrow limits most of the
week on the Board of Trade,' but
were down fractionally to several
cents at the finish.
Rye was the weakest cereal, go
ing to new lows practically every
day. Rye contracts were at the
lowest prices since trading in them
started as the week closed.
Wheat closed the week 2 V3 7i

higher.
S. Children's Bureau, and adopted
a list of standards for juvenile in
stitutions. They admitted " such
standards were not followed in
many places but said that all of
the goals were practical and with
in reach.
Not Condoned ,
The statement on standards said
that a number tf disciplinary
methods now used by various
schools "cannot be condoned." It
specified corporal punishment and
added: "Equally obnoxious are
those devices which humiliate or
injure the youth's sense of per
sonal dignity or cause him phy
sical discomfort." ;
Last summer, the Santa Fe New
Mexican uncovered brutality at
the state school in Springer. Sev
eral boys, the paper said, had been
whipped excessively. One had been
lashed 40 to 60 times by a guard
with a leather strap. The boy bled
profusely. ,
Another boy, whose back still
bore the marks six months later,
said he had been lashed 90 times
with a laundry strap. Others told
of being put on a bread and water
diet for long periods, of . being sen
tences to long terms in cold, filthy
cells.
A teacher was quoted as say
ing: - "Over and over again boys come
to our classes with, deep cuts oh
their arms, , faces or other parts
of their bodies and claim the
guards hit them."
Such brutality is relatively rare.
To a lesser degree it occurs, both
physically and psychologically, in
many places were staff officers
take matters into their own hands.
. "A man can do tremendous trau
matic damage to a sick boy with
out laying a hand on him," said
a Midwestern psychiatrist. He had
a thing, like this in mind:
In a small county school near
Hazelton, Pa., officers "cured" a
boy of his self-indulgent sex habits
(common to many adolescents) by
obliging him, in a room full of
other boys, to go to sleep with his
hands tied in front of him, in a
sack. f
Heavy Paddling .
But another boy accused of the
same "offense" was paddled until
he bled by an : enraged officer.
Later the officer was reprimand
ed by his superiors. At that, he
fared better than another cottage
parent who was caught swearing
in front of the boys. He was fired.
On their side, training school su
perintendents have many prob
lems aggravated by inadequate
budgets and inadequate staffs pro
vided them by the state.
"They also have a difficult time
getting the public to understand
the job to be done." said Donald
G. Blackburn,' institutions consult
ant of the U.S. Children's Bureau.
"The public demands an emphasis
on custody and controls when the
primary function of the training
school is to provide training and
treatment
"The modern training school at
tempts to create a relaxed atmo
sphere, not necessarily a permis
sive one, wherein watchild has an
opportunity to develop inner con
trols and self-control as contrasted
to the rigid outer controls which
do not permit freedom- of choice,
self -direction, : and self-expression.
"Training ' school staffs are as
much concerned with .'sending
'good kids' back into the. normal
streams of life as with keeping
'bad kids' out of the communities.
Balance Needed . .
"Overemphasis on security meas
ures often interferes -with' this ob
jective and is as much the basis
for public criticism as is the lack
of proper controls. Arriving at the
right . balance . . . requires real
skills . . ." ; . .
This is quite a dilemma to
protect society against dangerous
juvenile delinquents - and at the
same time protect the delinquent
from feeling like a . moral leper.
It is especially serious at a place
like the Boys Industrial School of
Ohio, at Lancaster, , which has
more than 800 boys to worry about
Being the most overcrowded school
in the country, this one cannot be
said to be typical. But it does re
flect the problems of many insti
tutions. At the Ohio school, there are no
walls, no armed guards. But there
is considerable regimentation.
Going to class or to their cot
tages, the boys march in small
groups, in perfect military unison
and complete silence.
Protects Floors
They must remove their shoes
before entering class rooms or cot
tages. Why? Because, it was ex
plained, being without shoes re
duces escape attempts and also
protects the hardwood floors.
The boys are "on silence" at all
times in the dormitories and held
to whispers in the cottage living
rooms. In the reception cottage,
where new boys spend. their first
two or ' three weeks, an effort is
made to welcome and relax them.
But then this happens (or did until
recently): r
In their dormitory, the new boys
are sent direct to their beds. A
monitor, an older inmate, bawls
out in a top sergeant's ' voice,
"We'll say the Lord's Prayer."
Then: "Those who want to say an
other prayer, kneel and do it
now." Then: "Now everybody
jump into bed and read Bibles."
Next, the boys are supposed to
sleep, although the room remains
well lighted and there's no ignor
ing the heavy wire mesh on the
windows.
Going to sleep, the boys posi
tions are' strictly prescribed: they
must keep their hands above the
covers. If they lie on their side,
they must face the night watch
man who occupies a wire cage at
the end of the room.
"The modern training school,"
said the expert, "attempts to cre
ate a relaxed atmosphere . . ."
There is more to the story of
how we deal with our problem

West States
Mental Health
Survey Asked
SAN FRANCISCO OP) A group
of public health workers and legis
lators Saturday called upon . the
governors of the eleven Western
states to name committees for
surveying mental health needs and
to participate in an interstate pro
gram for research and training of
more personnel. "
By resolution the group said
mental health was the foremost
health problem in the nation and in
the West and that the shortage of
help in this field is critical. It
said also there was an urgent need
of support for research in mental
health.
A pooling of experiences and re
sources among the states involved
can improve the mental health pic
ture, the group said.
Under the auspices of the coun
cil of state governments, the group
represented Arizona, California,
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New
da, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming. -
An arm of the council, the West
ern Interstate Commission . for
Higher Education, already has
started a survey of its own, fi
nanced by a $61,000 grant from
the National Institute of Mental
Health. The resolution urged the
future state committees to cooper
ate with the commission.
Stock Market -Drives
Ahead
NEW YORK UFi The stock
market pushed its recovery drive
ahead strongly this week to within
the shadow of a new record high.
The advance was accomplished
with little fanfare, but the rise rep
resented the strongest weekly ad
vance of the year.
It was just, three weeks ago that
the market touched a new peak,
and then it tumbled in a severe
reaction that lasted a little more
than a week. Whereupon, the re
covery got underway and contin
ued with only slight pauses to the
erd of this week.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks this week went up $4.10,
a showing well distributed through
the final four days of the week.
It closed at $160.20. At that level
the average1 had retraced 78 per
cent of the previous heavy losses.
It now stands only $2.40 away from
the record peak hit March 4.
