UNRULY CHILDREN.
A deputation* of the special magistrates of the Children's Court waited upon the Victorian Attorney-General last week to request that steps should be taken to enlarge the powers of the Children's Court, and that a State farm should be established, to which children neglected and delinquent might be committed. The deputation stated that at present nothing could be done with unruly children, except to send them to industrial schools. The Attorney-General said that he cordially concurred with their recommendations. A considerable area of land should be obtained, and a reformatory school established. A prison was the worst place to send a boy or girl, either in the interests of society or in the interests of the boy or girl. He would have great pleasure in bringing their recommendations before his colleagues.
