(Museum of the Rockies, Montana State University) WHERE IS THE MAN? THE SEARCH FOR A JUVENILE COURT IN MONTANA By ROBERT A. HARVIE O n the evening of January 25, 1907, Denver's Judge Ben Lindsey, the evangelic leader of the Juvenile Court Movement, spoke to the Butte Teachers' Association. Intro- duced as America's most popular judge, he told his enthusiastic audience that "the child is not a criminal; he is only capable of doing evil when the opportunity is given him and his environ- ment is bad." He placed the burden of correcting the child directly on the shoulders of parents: "The place for the correc- tion of a child is in its home and if parents prove negligent and unworthy the state should do the best it can to put itself in the place of loving and wise parents." Warming to his audience, the judge urged the creation of a juvenile court in Montana, assur- ing the teachers that such a court would attempt "to get at the causes of crime and eliminate the effects."I Montana's child savers, a diverse group of middle- and upper- class men and women, called for the creation of a juvenile court in the state's larger cities, staffed by judges of Lindsey's stature with a personal style of justice unencumbered by due Robert A.

  • Title: the Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher's Guide of 20Fh Century Physics
    REPORT NSF GRANT #PHY-98143318 Title: The Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher’s Guide of 20fhCentury Physics DOE Patent Clearance Granted December 26,2000 Principal Investigator, Brian Schwartz, The American Physical Society 1 Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 301-209-3223 [email protected] BACKGROUND The American Physi a1 Society s part of its centennial celebration in March of 1999 decided to develop a timeline wall chart on the history of 20thcentury physics. This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

  • Oregon's Civil
    STACEY L. SMITH Oregon’s Civil War The Troubled Legacy of Emancipation in the Pacific Northwest WHERE DOES OREGON fit into the history of the U.S. Civil War? This is the question I struggled to answer as project historian for the Oregon Historical Society’s new exhibit — 2 Years, Month: Lincoln’s Legacy. The exhibit, which opened on April 2, 2014, brings together rare documents and artifacts from the Mark Family Collection, the Shapell Manuscript Founda- tion, and the collections of the Oregon Historical Society (OHS). Starting with Lincoln’s enactment of the final Emancipation Proclamation on January , 863, and ending with the U.S. House of Representatives’ approval of the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery on January 3, 86, the exhibit recreates twenty-five critical months in the lives of Abraham Lincoln and the American nation. From the moment we began crafting the exhibit in the fall of 203, OHS Museum Director Brian J. Carter and I decided to highlight two intertwined themes: Lincoln’s controversial decision to emancipate southern slaves, and the efforts of African Americans (free and enslaved) to achieve freedom, equality, and justice. As we constructed an exhibit focused on the national crisis over slavery and African Americans’ freedom struggle, we also strove to stay true to OHS’s mission to preserve and interpret Oregon’s his- tory. Our challenge was to make Lincoln’s presidency, the abolition of slavery, and African Americans’ quest for citizenship rights relevant to Oregon and, in turn, to explore Oregon’s role in these cataclysmic national processes. This was at first a perplexing task.

Cameras in the Courtroom: Guidelines for State Criminal Trials In 1965, only two states permitted photographic and electronic media coverage1 of courtroom proceedings.2 Today, forty-three states permit television coverage of their appellate and/or trial proceedings on an experimental or permanent basis. 3 This development has not come about in a systematic or uniform fashion. Lacking guidance from the federal courts, the states have independently conducted ex­ periments and adopted their own guidelines in an attempt to accom­ modate the conflicting constitutional4 and policy interests5 involved. The development of state guidelines6 has stemmed largely from the belief that media self-discipline is insufficient to ensure fair treatment 1. The phrase "photographic and electronic media coverage," referred to herein as "televis­ ing" or "broadcasting," includes both the acquisition of information (through devices such as still news photography, audio taping, motion picture filming and videotaping), and the public dissemination and broadcast of that information.

  • Trial Court Consolidation in Hawaii: the Road Already Taken?
    Trial Court Consolidation in Hawaii: The Road Already Taken? Susan Ekimoto Jaworowski Researcher Report No. 4. 1991 Legislative Reference Bureau State Capitol Honoiulu, Hawaii 96813 FOREWORD This study was prepared in response to House Resolution No. 68, adopted during the Regular Session of 1991. The Resolution requested an examination of the feasibility of consolidating Hawaii's two tier trial court system into one tier. The Resolution also requested information concerning the history and rationale behind establishing the two tier system, an evaluation of the currert trial court system and judicial administration, the rationale behind the differing job requirements and qualifications for judges in the two tiers, and the feasibility of establishing the same requirements for all trial level judges. The assistance of Bureau researcher Charlotte Carter-Yamauchi was a significant factor in the timely completion of this study. Ms. Carter-Yamauchi interviewed many of the circuit court judges and provided invaluable input into several areas, including the structure of the district court questionnaire. The Bureau extends its appreciation to ail who cooperated with and participated in this study, particularly Chief Justice Herman Lum; Dr. Irwin Tanaka, Administrative Director of the Courts; and C. Michael Hare, Chairman of the Judicial Selection Commission. It is hoped that the issues raised by the study will assist the Legislature and the Judiciary in making further incruiries and decisions on this matter. Samuel €3. K.
