Judge Ben B. Lindsey Judge of the Juvenile and Family Court of Denver, Colorado. TUDGE LINDSEY is one of the best known of ^ Americans. He is an authority on child welfare and juvenile treatment — a writer of note on the subject, a lecturer, a man whose opinions are sought. In January, 1899, he was appointed public guardian and administrator of the County Court of Denver, that under the first Colorado Juvenile law of April 12th, 1899, became the Juvenile Court. The following year he was appointed, and ten times since has been elected Judge of that Court, in which he is now serving his twenty-sixth year. In Who's Who for 1925 he is listed as the "promoter of the juvenile court system and originator of some of its features and has international reputation as an authority upon juvenile delinquency." Judge Lindsey is author of the Colorado Juvenile Court laws and with his collaborator (Wainwright Evans) the recent much discussed book "The Revolt of Modern Youth." In this book Judge Lindsey takes a firm stand against censorship. The following address was delivered by Judge Lindsey at the Fourth National Motion Picture Conference in Chicago, 111., in February, 1926.
