over a child under the age of eighteen years, that juris-
diction shall continue until the child reaches the age of
twenty-one years, unless sooner discharged; provided that
nothing herein shall affect the jurisdiction of other courts
over offenses committed by such child after he reaches the
age of eighteen.
(c) In every case pending before him, the Judge may
