DEAL JUSTLY WITH CHILDREN J
I
Almost Every Country Now Has !
Courts to Handle Cases of Juve
nile Delinquency.
The example set by tl>e l*nlte«l
States In establishing juvenile courts
hns been followed hv nil the princi
pal countries of Europe. Spain, the
last to fall in line, has adopted the )
modern viewpoint that -delinquent chil- :
dren should not be treated as crimi
nals, but rotlier as victims of adverse
conditions and surroundings. In work
ing out the details of the law. Spanish
authorities have followed America's'
experience, according to fnformation j
received by the children's bureau of j
the United States department of I
labor.
Under the Spanish law the children's I
judge is not necessarily a member of
the bench. He Is assisted by two ad- (
visory members appointed by the com- j
mission for the protection of children. |
Privacy is guarded very closely in the i
Spanish Juvenile corirts: no one ex
cept probation officers Is allowed in ;
the court unless by special permission. |
am! the press Is forbidden to publish i
any Information about cases of juvenile
delinquents.
Since Chicago established the first i
juvenile court in IS90, similar courts 1
have been established in England. |
France. Belgium. Holland, Denmark, |
Switzerland. Italy. Germany. Ilussia,
Austria and Hungary.
The Navipendulum.
One of the problems which naval'
architects have to confront is the roll- j
Ing of a ship on the waves, and the j
"navipendulum" is an invention for
dealing with it experimentally.
The apparatus consists of two
parts: A plate to which a motion cor-1
responding to that of a portion <«f the .
surface of a wave is Imparted, and a
pendulum of a peculiar shape which
rolls upon the moving plate In the man
ner of n vessel supported by water. j
The same pendulum can he made .
to represent different vessels of given
size and shape by adding or renWIr.g |
artificial resistance to the oscillatory i
motion.
This Instrument has been employed j
to study the rolling of the Italian bat-1
tleshlps as well as those of other j
countries.

Missing Thirty Years.
Bristol, Tenn.—News has been re- :
celved In Bristol that a son of Mrs. j
Morgan Snodgra«s, living near Steele's
Creek, three miles from Bristol, who I
disappeared from home thirty years !
ago when n boy of ten years, re
turned unexpectedly and Is now visit- J

TEACH SERBS ENGLISH
Now Made Compulsory Subject in
Normal Schools.
Dominating Language, Apart From
Native Tongue, Hitherto Has
Been German.
Belgrade, Serbia.—Eugllsh Is being
Introduced throughout tlie schools of
Serbia.
It Is now made n compulsory subject
!n the normal schools. The first courses
In English, which were inaugurated in
Belgrade a year ago under an Ameri
can teacher, Dr. James Wild of Chi
cago, have yielded such excellent re
sults that the government has decided
to make the language a part of the
curriculum of nil schools.
Heretofore the dominating lauguage
of the Serbians, apart from their na
tive tongue, has been German. The
Germans were quick to see the advan
tage of Introducing their language as
a means of acquainting the school
children with the ways and customs of
the German people. The pupils were
given little chance to acquire the
things that go to make up the life and
culture of Anglo-Saxon civilization.
A very large proportion of Serbia's
school teachers were killed In war, 800
having died during the Bulgarian occu
pation. Scores of school buildings
were destroyed, and most of the school
books printed in the Serbian language
were deliberately confiscated and
burned by the Bulgars. Even Bibles
were carried off, the object of the Bul
garians being to displace all books In
the Serbian language with publications
In their own language.
Notwithstanding these disasters, out
of 2,100 schools In Serbia nearly 2,000
have reopened. So great Is the thirst
for education in Serbia that It Is n
common thing for children in the coun
try districts to leave their homes be
fore daybreak and walk for several
hours to reach school, not returning
home until late In the evening. The
school buildings, owing to the ravages
of war. often are without window
panes, heat, desks, l>ooks and even
writing material.
So great Is the shortage of teachers
and the Influx of pupils that the for
mer have to work from dawn until
night, taking their classes in "relays." |
ENROLLS IN UNIVERSITY AT 12 !
New York Boy. Master of Twelve Lan- i
guages, Becomes Student at
Columbia.
NVnv York.—Master of 12 languages,

tnnl in appetite, habits and recreations. ;

MIDINETTE IS DISAPPEARING
French Girls Throw Aside Needles to ;
Take Up Stenography and
Typewriting.
Paris.—The French midinette is dls- j
appearing and young French girls tire,
throwing a-'ide the needle for the type-1
writer, according to the large fashion
bouses of I'aris.
The apprentice who used to he glad
to enter a modiste's or costunier's es
tablishment as midinette, at first earn
ing nothing but her keep, is now learn
ing typewriting, with perhaps a sus
picion of shorthand, ami can cominnntl
a fair salary as soon as her course of
Instruction is completed.
Kxperienced modistes and dressmak
ers vainly point out the folly of this
course, which, they say. leads many
girls into a blind alley occupation in
stead of providing them with n trade I
at which they can eventually earn a j
living running Into many hundreds of j
dollars a year.
CLOCK TICKS FOR 104 YEARS j
Indiana Man Has Timepiece Made in j
1816 Which Has Run Ever Since, i
Keeping Good Time.
Jeffersonville, Itul.—Ira Fonts of j
New Washington hits a clock which
has run since it was made in 1S16.
It is bangin'g in a brick house built
in 1S2C. The clock was made by Wil- I

back of the clock in 1003 by the late I
John Calvin Fonts, father of the pros- J
ent owner. Mr. Fonts sajd Thompson
brought his tools and brass plates
from England and cut out all the
wheels nnd machinery, piece by piece.
The father of John Calvin Fonts start
ed the clock running May VI, 1816, and j

time.
Cow's Jag Is Fatal.
Winsted, Conn.—A herd of cows
