Strana 279 - The fundamental idea of the [juvenile court] law is that the state must step in and exercise guardianship over a child found under such adverse social or individual conditions as develop crime. ... It proposes a plan whereby he may be treated, not as a criminal, or legally charged with crime, but as a ward of the state, to receive practically the care, custody, and discipline that are accorded the neglected and dependent child...
Strana 199 - They show a want of knowledge that must be the result of years of study.
Strana 251 - ... criminals out of children who are not criminals by treating them as if they were criminals. That ought to be stopped. What we should have, in our system of criminal jurisprudence, is an entirely separate system of courts for children, in large cities, who commit offenses which would be criminal in adults.

Strana 159 - The healthy individual without harm to his body may at one time be a vegeterian and at another time may live on an exclusive meat diet. He may live a lazy life at the level of the sea, or subject himself to strenuous exercise in high altitudes. There are limits to adaptability that depend on the soundness of the organism, but within wide limits of external conditions an optimum of efficiency may be maintained. There is a "margin of safety which exists for all organisms.
Strana 265 - every appearance of being a jail, with its barred windows and locked doors. . . . The children have fewer comforts than do criminals confined in the county jail. They are not kept sufficiently occupied and have very little fresh air."48 The bleakness and impersonality of the institutions were matched by the uncompromising professionalism of juvenile court officials. "Troublemakers...
Strana 282 - The child was not to be convicted, but was to be found dependent, delinquent or truant, or discharged. The child was not to be sentenced to a reformatory or prison, but committed to the care of a probation officer or to the care of a friendly institution. All the proceedings were to be informal. The strict rules of evidence were not...
