A Chat with You

THERE is absolutely no hope today for the magazine without a distinctive policy. If you wish to be successful, your publication must be of an original vein, in a little class by itself. There are at the present time over 26,000 periodicals in this country alone. Some of these are trade and class publications, while others are on a more general and broader basis.

Of these many publications with a national circulation, THE JUVENILE COURT RECORD is one with a distinctive policy. That policy is the publication and dissemination of matter embodying the problem of the dependent and delinquent child, juvenile court and child-rescue news, and items of general interest that appeal to anyone interested in the welfare and future of our boys and girls of today.

Men of brains, money and power have alike gratuitously sent us from time to time splendid articles to grace the pages of this little publication, and never in its history has it had the number of friends it has today. Many of our contributors are men and women of high official position, who regularly turn down offers from publishers, with enormous compensation. They refuse, under the plea that they are too busy. Nevertheless they seem to find time to send THE JUVENILE COURT RECORD an article now and then, on their own initiative. Good articles, too. That is because their heart is in their work, and with us also.

And that is the point. We want you all with us. If you are on our subscription lists, or just purchase single copies, we want you to feel that this is your paper,

and that its pages are open to you. Write in now and then, and give your views upon some subject, for discussion. Tell us, for instance, what you think about the present juvenile court laws. Are they satisfactory and complete? Could they be changed to advantage? Are they giving every one a square deal? Sit down and write us, and express your own personal views on any subject consistent with the policy of this magazine. Or if you are looking for information,

the editorial writer and contributor of THE JUVENILE COURT RECORD are at your service.

HILDREN PLACED IN HOMES.
CO-OPERATING WITH INSTI-
TUTIONS IN ALL THE STATES

The Juvenile Court Record is making an appeal to the families in the United States to open their hearts and their homes to children, and to give them that love for which their lonely little hearts have been longing and from which they have been deprived through no fault of their own. Do not think that these children will be uncared for if you fail to meet this opportunity, for others will answer the call. The Juvenile Court Record is offering, not begging, and it is offering the most precious gift in all the world—that which money cannot buy and which longings cannot bring-a little child. Yours will be the loss if you fail to grasp this blessed opportunity of receiving one of these little ones in the name of the Master.

Announcement

This paper is published to disseminate news and ideas helpful to Handicapped, Dependent and Delinquent Children

N

less an authority than our own Census Bureau tells us

that in this country alone-our own civilized U. S. A. -approximately 300,000 babies under one year of age die annually. Here's the part that hurts: One-half of these babies die needlessly. Just think, 150,000 babies under one year of age die annually, in this country alone, from preventable causes. Ignorance is what keeps the little white hearses working overtime. There is but one logical way to stop this "slaughter of the innocents.' Educate the parents and guardians. Education is prevention and the best manner of educating the people is by publicity.
