Ing In conjunction with other school

tain a police court to confer juvcnllo

ities oxpict to gain control over a

foicod Into school It Is soon found
necessar ) to expo ) them again , the
whole pioeoHs working Into the hands
of the boys who do not want to go to
school and who make trouble when
they do go. With a juvenile court In
Norfolk those boys could bo placed
: > n piobatlon and required to make a
weekly report to the court judge. The
situation Is a little dllforont In Nor
folk than In other cities of this sl/.o
on account of Norfolk being the only
town In the state with over 5,000 popu
lation which Is not a county seat. The
Nebraska law at present makes the
county court the Juvenile lourt.
