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.

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.

By showing si­multaneously the two scenes of theaction, we are kept uninterruptedly in­iormcd and amused. The staging ofthis play, and the Shepherd's cos­tumes of brown and drab, were ex- tremely successful.Of the three shepherds, the tall andknotty Mr. Clark, was much the bestfitted for his part. Mr. Edwardswith his somewhat more difficult job,might have done even better than hedid, could he 'have forgotten he wasplaying .an old man. Mr. Woodshowed dearly maturer gifts but couldnot help betraying gentle birth be­neath a rough garb. Mr. Dyrenforthas �Iak was not the rogue he wouldhave us believe. His effort and 'hishands were too much in evidence.
