A Nation-Wide Application of the Principle of Juvenile Court Work By JUDGE EDWARD SCHOEN, Newark, N. J. J feel that the problems behind the minor offender who comes to the juvenile court are so fnr-reaohing in importance that is, the proper re constructive work that is required to ha done to readjust the child, readjust his living conditions, is work of such magnitude that the 'ederal government, gov-ernment, with ita vast resources and prestige, would perhaps he the most effective agency or instrumentality with 'nieh to do that work. Further, it would probably lead more quickly to a standardization of all the work. I am very much interested and concerned about the standardization stand-ardization of reconstructive work that should Le done, and the way in which it should be done, and to get the accessary financial aid to do it, and do it right. Then, again, there would be a nation-wide application of this whole principle of juvenile court work and procedure, which we have not yet got, ' although the juvenile court is some twenty ears old. A great part of our . country is without tht application of juvenile court principle in iU treat dent of children. -
