questions of scientific value relative to
the care of dependents, detectives and
delinquents. 1t also has for its purpose
the dissemination of information in re-
gard to such scientific treatment and
management and the influence in regard
to legislation in favor of charitable and
penal institutions and the control of the
same.

practical working organization which
seeks to relieve people who need help.
