JUVENILE COURTS ABROAD
““ t
The example set by the United
States in establishing juvenile courts
mis now been followed by all the prin
cipal countries ofj Europe. Spain, the
last to fall in line, has now adopted the
modern viewpoint that delinquent
children should not be treated as crim
inals , but rather as victims of adveisc
conditions and surroundings. In work
ing out the details of the law Spanish !
authorities have followed America’s I
experience, according to information j
received by the Children’s Bureau of
the United States Dpartment of La
bor.
Under the Spanish law the children’s
judge is not necessarily a member of
the bench. lie is assisted by two ad
visory members appointed by the
Commission for the Protection of
Children. Privacy is guarded very
closely in the Spanish juvenile courts:
no one except probation officers is
allowed in the court except by special
permission, and the press is forbidden
to publish any information about cases;
of juvenile delinquents.
Since Chicago established the firs
juvenile court in 1899 similar courts
have been established in England.
France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark,
Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Russia,

NOGALES, Axil., Oct, 13— Recent
pacification of the warlike Yaqui In
dians of the Mexican state of Sonora
has allowed the state authorities to
turn from one of their worst problems
to new tasks of developing irrigation
projects and providing homes and
crops, Governor Flavio A. Berquex of
Sonora recently told The Associated
Press.
Pacifying jfrJlMui Indians seises
^RNfcr IhStta have
been a thorn in the side of the Sonora
and the Mexican governments for 80
years. The trouble dates back to the
old Spanish days when the land which
the Indians rightfully claimed was
theirs was taken from them.
We have finally succeeded in satis
fying them by restoring the lands to
them and providing them with food,
clothing and materials for fanning.
This was accomplished through the ef
forts of President De La Huerta, Sec
retary of War Calles and myself.
Ygqui chiefs recently conferred
with me here and assured me that the
Indians are completely pacified and
eady to settle down and grow crops
,>n reservation lands we have provid
'd for them. The government has set
iside between 20,000 and 30,000 gen*
jf the finest land in the famous Y*>
qui Valley for their use as a reserva
tion.
* Many of the andeat irrigattoa dto*
ches have been rebuilt by the govern
ment so the Indians can have water.
Mew ditches have been opened and
more will be built with federal and
state funds.
Eventually we hope to irrigate more
than a million acres of land. The pro
ject will cost not less than ten million
and will require three or four years
to complete. The first step la the work
will be construction of a great dam to
hold the waters of the Sonora River.
Long term loans axe expected to fin
ance the plan. • -
Irrigation is the bads of Sonora's
welfare. Water only is needed /to re
claim vast areas of Sonora land which
I is as rich as the Nile bottoms sad as
*y>d and even better than the tomans
Imperial Valley. *
Schools are as vital to fits woltoro
of S-mora as water and we are making
extensive piano for school extender
Included In our new budget Is 11500,
000 for schools. #
The new era has dawned in Mexico
sad especially in Sonora. Vm govern
ment of the state to or dTontiaom has

the irtate to help uj 1b oer nMUiag.
