2930 ARTICLE 13.

penses when in the discharge of duties imposed by order of the Court or
Judge, to be paid by the County Commissioners upon the approval and
order of such Court or Judge. And the said Court or Judge shall have
opportunity to retain or employ a Psychologist who holds a degree of
medicine and authorized to practice in this State, for the examination,
when necessary, of said delinquents, the costs of the same to be paid by
the County Commissioners of said County and to be charged to the item
of Court Expenses.

1916, ch. 680, sec. 166.

184. If upon a hearing and investigation, the Court or Judge shall find
any male child under twenty years of age, or any female child under the
age of eighteen, to be dependent, neglected or delinquent within the mean-
ing of this Act, liberally construed, the Court or Judge may allow such
child to remain at its home, subject to the supervision of the probation
officer, and may require such child to report to the Court or probation
officer at such times as the Court or Judge shall order. Or if the Court
shall then or thereafter find the parent, parents, guardian or custodian of
such child an unfit or improper person or persons, or unable or unwilling
to care for, protect, train, educate and discipline such child, and shall
further find it to be for the interest of such child or the people of the
County that such child be taken from the custody of such parent, parents,
guardian or custodian, the Court may make an order committing such
child to the custody of the probation officer or other agency, or to some
suitable institution, State or otherwise, organized for the care of children,
approved by the Court, until it becomes twenty-one years of age; and
said probation officer, agency or institution may place such child in the
home of some suitable family. The Court, however, shall retain the
right to move such child from such family, home, agency or institution,,
for such reasons as the Court may determine sufficient.

1916, ch. 680, sec. 167.

185. Whenever any such child is so committed to a probation officer
and the said child is placed in a family home, the Court or Judge shall ap-
point the probation officer guardian of such child; and whenever any such
child is so committed to any agency or institution, and placed in a family
home, some responsible representative of such agency or institution shall
be appointed guardian of such child by the Court or Judge. And it shall
be the duty of such guardian to visit each child committed to his or her
custody and placed in a family home at least once in every three months,
unless otherwise ordered by the Court or Judge, and to report to the Court
or Judge the condition and progress of such child; and such guardian
shall exercise proper care for the schooling and training of such child,
and make report to the Court as often as directed by the order of appoint-
ment; and if any child so placed in such a home or institution shall leave
or quit the same before attaining adult age, and without leave of the Court
or Judge, he or she shall be apprehended and brought before the Court
or Judge and dealt with as the Court or Judge shall determine to be best
