LY OVER ONE THOUSAND.

AS a result of the systematic work done by the
Juvenile Court of Chicago under Justice Tuthill
the number of boys passing through the county
jail in the last two years has been reduced to
twenty while during the three years previous to
the enactment of the law 1705 boys were incar-
cerated there.

While you live the busy day,
