KNOWING CHILDREN.
COUNCIL DISCOVERY.
1C A DANGEROUS AGE
(Special.—By Air Mall.)
LONDON, November 9.
Most of the young people who pass through the London County Council remand home from the juvenile couits "know too much," according to a report of a special L.C.C. committee. During 1934-5 boys and girls between 10 and 17 years of age constituted the largest age group of those passing through the home. "Most of the young persons admitted have had experience of life far beyond that which normally falls to those of that age," states the report. "They are almost always difficult to manage and frequently anti-social in outlook. They need much more supervision than children." Increases in staff and accommodation are now necessary. During the year ended March 31, 1935, 3305 charges were made against children and young persons before the metropolitan courts, an increase of 45 per cent on the previous year.
