Major Irwin Seeks to Curb Juvenile Delinquency
Major Irwin announced plans to use 1915 legislation to target parents of delinquent youths in police court. The law allows conviction of guardians for cruelty or neglect with fines up to $100 or a year in jail and permits placing children with reform societies. He argues punishing parents will reduce juvenile offenses and state costs. Also notes Miss Helen Callahan arriving in France with the Red Cross and updates on Rev Father Cer Mek’s condition at Muhlenberg Hospital.
