PREVENTION NEEDEDIN JUVENILE CRIME:IREFORM INADEQUATEModem Treatment of Boy Bandit Fails To Strike AtRoot Of EviLSUPERVISION IS LACKINGArrest, Trial, Disposition And Parole Comprise Steps-SocialMachinery Active.The writer of the following article,Mr. Brown, instructor in Sociology,was Research assistant for the International Prison committee in 1914-15and in this capacity was associatedwith the late Dr. Charles RichmondHenderson, who served as Commissioner for the United States on thecommittee. Before coming to theUniversity, Mr. Brown acted as instructor then professor of Economics,and finally Dean at Fargo College.By B. Warren Brown.The recent exploits of boy banditsin this-city have attracted much attention to the problem of juvenilecrime. The public is just beginning torealize h��! se!ious. is this . .ques_tio� .The figures -are almost startlng, In1913 for example, of all the boys between the ages of ten and sixteen inclusive in Chicago, 8.5 per c:ent werebrought . into court as delinquents.Added to the totals for truancy anddependency, the proportion meansthat at least one boy in ten has aprospect of getting a court record before he is seventeen years of age.During this same year, 1913, morethan 12,000 boys between the ages of16 and 20 were arrested. To be suremany of the offenses of both groupsof boys had no very serious consequence in the destruction of property. But the real problem is' notthe loss of property; it is the loss ofthe boys. The steady drift from truancy and minor juvenile offenses tomisdemeanor, from misdemeanor to afelony, in this city from juvenilecourt to the parental school or SLCharles· on to Pontiac reformatoryand Joliet State prison, prove beyondQuestion that 'habitual crime beginsright down in the apparently minoroffense of a boy and makes this boy.the crux of the whole crime problem.What is done with these boys?\Vhat social machinery for dealingwith this problem exists in Chicagotoday? There are several steps in thesystem corresponding to the ages andoffenses of the boys. First, the arrest. The state law prohib�ts the detcntion in a police station or jail ofa child under twelve. Above that ageuntil recently boys were subjected tothe "school for crime" treatment inextremely unsanitary surroundings;the order of the chief of police substituting summons for arrest in juvenile cases was a forward step. Second, the trial. We ·have two specialcourts in the city to cover this function. The Juvenile 'Court has jurisdiction over dependent, truant, anddelinquent children up to the age ofseventeen. The hearing is informal!almost paternal, and a volunteer association provides free legal servicefor the boys. The other special court(Continued on Page 3) SENIOR WOMEN TO GIVEPARTY TO MEN SATURDAYAgnes Sharpe Is General ChairmanOf Leap' Year Party Committees-Luncheon, Play And Dance Listed On Program.Agnes Sharp has been named general chairman of the committees forthe Senior class..

"THE WOOING OF NAN"MOST SUCCESSFUL OFTHE ENGLISH PLAYSPresentation of Elizabethan JigA Modest Event In Literary History.PLA YS ARE WELL SELECTKDScreens Serve For Painted SceneryWith Remarkable Effect-HonorsOf Evening To Mr. Breasted.By Richard Offner.Instructor in the History of Art.A unique and distinguished perIorrnance of. four plays inauguratedlast Friday night in Mandel hall, aseries of celebrations of the Shakespeare Tercentenary. The omission inthe program of the greatest of theEnglish poets may be partially if notplausibly, explained by the fact thatthe present performance is regardedas an historical introduction .to acycle of lectures upon :him to begiven' in late April. And even if Idid not propose to traffic in amenities, I must together with all thosewho have some devotion left to p�lite entertainment, congratulate theproducers on the memorable result of. their industry and zeal.Formidable difficulties of everykind attending Shakespearean production may well have misgiven them,and a perfectly respectable desire fornovelty and an equally respectablehistorical interest may partially account for the selection of four evolutionary stages of the pre-Shakespearean' play ..Let me add that apart from the essay in a scracely tried and thereforeat least, interesting department ofthe drama, the presentation of theElizabethan Jig is a modest event inliterary history. For until the recent researches of Mr ... BaskerviU, itsdramatic form had been neither defined, nor examples of it identified,and the nature surmised from literaryallusions mainly. The present production, Mr. BaskervilI thinks, is thefirst in 200 years.Scenery Has Remarkable Effect.We are most beholden to those towhom the stage setting is due. Oflate, a few discerning people havebeen deploring the invincible awkwardness of the present �tage inMandel han, and in an. recent performances some ungainly, and pardonable devices, have gone uncensured. Friday evening we saw asystem of tall, tin screens do servicefor painted scenery with, I think, remarkable .effect. These are a quitefrank conventionalization, totally neutral in color, and capable of beingset up to suggest adequately the maincharacter of any interior.This device in conjunction with thedrop of coarse canvas behind thescreens, could not, I think, have beenimproved upon. I, for' one, applaudthis happy substitution for scenic illusionism, that most appallirrg' vulgacity of the modern stage. Skillfully managed lighting can carry suggestion farther: as' far as desirable;and figures moving before this sym-(Continued on Page 2)THE DAILY MAROON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1916.mlJr lailD _arnnnOfficial Student Newspaper of theUniversity of Chicago.Pubtlsbed morulugs, except Sunday andMonday, durln� toe Autumn, Winter andSpring quarters hy The Dnlly llnroon stnff.F.

The acknowledgement of error was solicited from the Forum injustice to �I r. Charles Fitzmorris,secretary to the mayor of the city ofChicago. While the Forum may partially console itself with the thoughtthat "to err is human", it is to behoped that future inquiries will beconducted and reported wtih unquestionable .adberence to facts.VOTE FOR NANCE AND KIMBALL TODAY_No argument of any sort has, asyet, been put forth by the 'Chicagoadministration forces to show that_ those candidates. endorsed by the administration for nomination at thealdermanic primaries today, would be'better citly fathers than AldermanWillis O. "Nance, who is seeking nomination for re-election in the sixthward and John N. Kmbalt who isseeking nomination for re-election inthe seventh. Not only this, but noanswer has yet been offered by theadministration to the repeated statemen that Aldermen Nance and Kimball are far better qualified than aretheir opponents to serve in the common council of Chicago.Both these aldermen are endorsedby every decent force for ch-ic bettennent in Chicago-by the MunicipalVoter's league, by various women'sclubs, and by such newspapers as TheChicago Herald, The Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Daily News andTh� 'Chicago Evening Post. Theiropponents for nomination on the Republican ticket-Aaron Jones in thesixth ward and Jacob Krengel in thesevcnth- are endorsed by the "Administration" which is backed in eachand everyone of its so-to-speak constructive measures by the gray wolves of the council=-Coughlin, Kenna,Cul1erton, Powers, DePriest and Michaelson.The mayor has made political capital out of his order directing theclosing of the Chicago saloons onSunday. It is unfortunate that theadministration has fought shy of allattempts on the part of such men asAlderman Kimball to show how thatSunday closing law and the one o'clock ordinance were not impartiallyenforced. One witness, who testified in a hearing of the Judiciary committee, that he had seen drinks soldat 'Coloss imo's 22nd street cafe wastold bluntly by Alderman "BathhouseJohn" Coughlin, who is a staunchadministration alderman, "You're simply going out of your way to hangsomething on a good business man."To an impartial observer, in fact,it seems as though' Corporation Coun-sel Samuel Ette ls on, a Thompson appointee and one oi the administrationwheel horses, were more anxious todefend cabaret and saloon owners ac-cused of breaking the law than wouldbe consistent with the Thompson"dry" order. I n one of the hearingsof the Judiciary committee, at whichjudge Uhlir, of the Morals court, wasasked to testify, the Judge spoke ofseveral places where he had seen theone o'clock closing order openly violated. Corporation Counsel Ettelson, who was present at the hearing,asked jllllge Uhlir, at 1Jle close of thetestimony, this astounding question:"Isn't it true, judge Uhlir, that youare opposed to the Thompson administration and that you made aspeech against the mayor after hisorder closing saloons went into effect ?"I sn't it remarkable? The corporation counsel whose salary we arepaying out of our good money, is sotired with the zealous spir it of theThompson administration, of whichhe is an important part, for enforcing the various liquor }:I\\;S, that whena judge-a municipal court magistrate-gives testimony of violations,the good counsel, burning with desireto prosecute offenders, tries to cast aslur by a thinly veiled insinuation onthe motives actuating the Judge w'h og ives he testimony.':\t a meeting in the seventh wardlast Sunday night, Mayor Thompsondeclared that he was "hungry for cooperation" and 'hoped with a catch inhis voice that we would send him alderman who would co-operate withhim. with your players, than win by "cooperating" with the referee?\Ve want co-operation just as muchas ycu do. Our University is situated in two of the biggest wards ofthe city-the sixth and seventh-e-andit means, something to us, when wesend a man to represent us in thecommon council of the city. We maylook rather young and downy aboutthe face, but we're 110t the sort to'be fooled by flag-waving, torch-lightpolitics. You can't warm us up bytalking about wool-factories on thedrainage canal when your appointeesaren't enforcing the Civil Servicelaw. We're glad your grandfathercarne to Chicago early in the gameand we respect your father for having fought in the Civil war, but we'rea lot more interested in getting anefficient police-force and in seeingthat the segregated districts aren'tre-opened.\\. e're proud of you for having madeyour own way as a cowboy out West ;but that doesn't alter the fact thatyour administration is going back tothc spoils system. We know what-wewant, Mr. Mayor, and that's a bettercity government. You're not goingto give it to us by cooperating withKenna, 'Coughlin, DePriest, Powers.. Cullerton and Michaelson. \V c knowthat, and you can't blind us to it bytelling us about your career as a lootball player.And let us tell you something else.Y ou can't convince us of the worthiness of your desires by teIling usthat the man who opposes you (aman of w'horu we know and respect),is a white-Iivcred, black-heartedcrook; thief and liar, and hunk reformer, who has sold out to the traction ring and the whiskey ring. \Veknow better than that, in the firstplace; and even if we didn't we'd sortof feel that you weren't playing thegame right when you say that sortof thing;-it's too much like puttingyour thumb -in the other fellow's eyewhen you're under the pile and the.referee can't see you.We're going to give you all thecooperation you can possibly ask:but we're going to have some sayabout the men with whom we wantyou to cooperate. In the sixth and seventh wards those men are Nance andKimball. That's why we're going tosend them back to you. We don'tknow the men you picked out for us:but we don't like the' men you've 'beencooperating with up to the presenttime. We're grvmg you anotherchance to make good when we putNance and Kimball on the ticket sothat we can send them back to thecouncil in April.COMMUNICATIONS(In view of the fact that the communication column of The DailyMaroon is maintained as a dearinChouse for student opinion, 'lbe:lUaroon accepts no responsibility ferthe sentiments therein expressed.

First, the secretary referred to was not the private secretary of the mayor, but one of themen in the office. Secondly, it seemsthat this secretary did not say "Getthe h-- out of here", but remarkedto the committee, "Just ordinary citizens?

Imay say at once that some of thecostly adaptations from Holbein in"Nice \Vanton" might have gone better at a fancy-dress ball than in adramatic performance, but we are extremely grateful just the same.And yet, the audience .was certainly persuaded that, whatever the honorable motives of the English department or slight shortcomings of theproduction may have been, it wasthoroughly amused, and now andagain, even profoundly impressed.Well Nigh Perfect Spectacle.The earliest of the four plays andthe first in order of presentation wasthe "Sponsus," the type of liturgicaldrama of the twelfth century in theform of alternating song, and initially performed inside a church, to teach the "unlearned in their faith"sacred lesson or story by a series ofliving static pictures; or intended toleaven with' emotional circumstance,a suspicious and susceptible imaginatone The austere music of this,suggestive in its rythms and cadences of the forms of sacred architecture, with none' of the spiritual intimacy or personal directness to whichthe romanticism of the present dayhas accustomed us; expressive as itis of a highly developed hieratic system that coldly assimilates all individual claims to its inflexible structure,seems oddly remote or cruel to modern cars. And so little does the rendering of it seem to me to : matterthat the rather shocking mediocrityof the singers and their appearance,interfered in the' slightest degreewith my pleasure in the well nighperfect spectacle, in the good taste ofthe mise-en-scene and in the mOJ1l1-mental music they so sleepily intoned.I am quite honest when I say thathad the singing been professionallyapproved, I might have he en bored,as many insensitive people no doubtwere,-because I believe execution tobe but of small importance here, andof far smaller importance than wethink, in most matters of art.

Boysformerly sent to the House of Correction were later sent to the J ohn- \Vorthy school adjoining the Bridewell forseparate training. Recently the oldJohn \Vorthy school building has beenturned over to the larger institutionas a hospital while the young misdcmcanants are sent to the John\Vorthy school, transferred to a farm.For incorrigible boys the State provides a reform school at St. Charles.About one 'half of the inmates of thatony, although as a matter of fact,only a dozen boys under sixteen wereimprisoned there .last year. Onefurther'step, parole, needs to be mentioned. This is open to the same administrative objection 'which holds,against the present system of. probation, namely, a lack of supervision,Last year about 5'O() Chicago boyswere on parole from St. Charleswith only one parole officer to supervise them .This outlines the social machineryfor reforming the boy offender; unfortunately we hav� no corresponding system of preventing juvenilecrime. \Ve wait until the boy hasslipped over the line.

The movement, action and the psychology of·the dramatic dialogue have not insinuated themselves into the formalisticmusic, and between one and the otherno profound' conformity exists.
