On Juveniles
Religious Training Lack Is Noted in Local Court | Cases.
Lack of proper “religious training among young people brings more | juvenile cases into court than any other cause, according to Mrs. | Emory Scholl, State Probation Di- | rector, ’
In making her annual report to Governor Townsend, Mrs, Scholl | said that without exception, juvenile delinquency cases reflect improper religious background. Almost 3800 juvenile cases were investigated by the State Probation Department during 1936, Mrs. Echoll reported. More than 1080 of these were girls, she said. Mrs. Scholl outlined a pregram to extend State probation work in 31 counties during the next year. | No reports have been received from these areas and no county proba- | tion system exists, she said.
Year Shows Decline
Almost 500 boys and 150 girls | officially were placed on probation | during 1936, she reported. During the previous year, the record showed | that 616 boys and 216 girls were placed on probation.

The very language of this Old Testament story becomes the language used when we speak today | of bondage and deliverance, of hopes and aspirations for a better society. " u "” HE story illustrates the factors in progress and in the struggle for freedom that have been present at all times in history. Until recently, the dominant idea of our
times has been that of progress, or |
what has been called “the march
of mankind onward, upward and |
forever.’ That notion of a sort of inevitable progress of mankind, just from stage of social evolution, ing. But it has had a very real shock in the experiences of today, | when we see nations that have shown great progress socially recoiling to autocracy and dictatorship, and when we see great progress
along some lines utterly nullified by |
the use of the very things of progress to defeat the higher interests of mankind. We have setn progress in science, for instance, aiding the work: of war and violence, in inventing and improving more terrible instruments of destruction than mankind | has ever known. We are coming | to see more clearly that instead of inevitable progress, these are ~

to force them back into servitude, |
| or to destroy them. Nor was this change only on | the part of Pharaoh. When the children of Israel, who had yielded to Moses’ pleadings and made this | start toward liberty, found themselves in suffering and in danger, | their enthusiasm waned; it seemed better to go back and be in slav{ery in Egypt than to die in the wilderness. Is not that the way in which masses of people have again and again failed their leaders? Progress is not & necessary or inevitable thing. It rests very defi- | nitely upon vision and conviction | and courage, upon the determina- | tion to go on in spite of danger and | difficulty. It is for this very reason that progress is slow and that | the progress that we gain is often | so apt to be wiped out by reaction. It is difficult to bring the vision | and enthusiasm and endurance of | a Moses into the consciousness and
| will of a whole people. That is why.
mankind has again and again re- | peated this experience. of Israel in the wilderness, in ‘spite of all the | faith and hope and achievement that leaders have given.

Brooks, commander of | the vessel which caught fire Thursday night 55 minutes after leaving | its pier here, bound for Norfolk. Capt. Brooks revealed that there | | was no fire system on the ship. He said “if a Ising observed a fire the only way he could communicate this fact would be by using a speaking tube to the bridge.”
Favors Fire Line Law
| |
A member of the Board asked.
| him “would you favor a regulation | requiring that there should be a fire line system with many stations throughout the ship?” Capt. Brooks answered: | “Certainly there could not be too { many.” | Board members made plain that they wished not only to determine the cause of the blaze but to gain information that may be useful in the prevention of others like it. The witness hinted that sabotage might have been responsible for the disaster. “The fire spread with such rapidity,” Capt. Brooks said as he prepared to testify, “that it appeared to have started in several places.” The disaster resulted in introduc-
tion of two bills in Congress to promote safety at sea. Senator Copeland (D. N. Y), | chairman of the Senate Commerce | Ccmmittee, offered a measure to re- | quire that lists of passengers on island and coastal vessels be deposited at a safe place ashore. Vio~ lation would be punishable by a fine of from $100 to $500. Reconditioning Is Urged Rep. John J. Cochran (D. Mo.) cited the disaster as another proof of the urgent need for reconditioning American ships. He sponsored a measure for Federal insurance up to $100,000,000 of mortages for construction » and modernization of coastwise and lake vessels, The Maritime Commission would be empowered to insure iis up to 75 per cent.

Congress would Lave been culpable. |
As it was, at least two lLves were lost. Since March 17, legislation has been before Congress which would make the American Merchant Marine fireproof and much safer in other respects than it is today. The. fact- that 91 were saved in | this latest ship fire was due to the | fortunate fact that she was close to shore and within easy reach of many small boats. Her fire appara- | tus offered little resistance to the flames. She burned like tinder. Passage of the bill now before Congress would compel operating companies either to reconstruct such ships or take them out of service. Many American vessels, both coastwise and in the foreign trade, are just as perilous to life and property as was the old City of Baltimore.
