largest in the world. 1t takes the place
of three old prisons. is situated in
healthy district, and covers. with its
main buildings, flower gardens and villa
residence of officials, over half a square
mile. The prison. unlike our peniten-
tiaries, is not built on the star plan,
but consists Of five rectangular blocks
one of which is the infirmary. The
plan is the cellular, and the number of
cells reaches the huge total of 1924.
AS, however. accommodation is pro-
vided on the Association" system for
400 privileged prisoners, the total GRIM

Juvenile courts and the system OF
probation for young offenders have
proved so successful In Eastern cities,
especially in Boston, that much good
was expected from the introduction of
the plan in Chicago. The results are
disappointing. The fundamental idea
OF the system Is that for a first offense
a young lawbreaker shall be placed on
probation. during the term Of which he
is to be under the care Of suitable per-
sons. In Chicago at least twenty-five
probation officers are needed. The city
appointed only FIVE, each OF whom has
charge Of about three hundred boys,
and the whole fifteen hundred are
herded together in a reformatory
school which does not reform but r
rupts. 1t is a pity that American cities
are so slow to learn that anything
which prevents an increase in the num-
Der Of criminals Is a saving in dollars
and cents, to say nothing Of the mora,
gain.
