NO EXTRAS FOR JACOBS.
Why School Board Won't Pay Pro-
baton officer Added Salary.

The refusal of the board of education
to allow SIS per month to Probation Of
ficer II. c. Jacobs to serve as truant Of
ficer, did not please Juvenile Court Judge
Patton nor Mr.. Jacobs who feels that the
services he is rendering to the schools
should be paid. Judge Patton yesterday
gave out to representatives of the press
the statement that he called on President
r. S. Joyce concerning the matter and
was astonished TO receive the reply from
DR.. Joyce that the schools do not need
the services of Mr. Jacobs, as they are
already crowded to their capacity, and
that the board does not want any more
children in the schools.
DR.. Joyce, when seen concerning the
matter, stated that he did not reply to
Judge Patton as stated above, but said
that If they eliminated the work that
had to be done by the juvenile court in
caring for school children, there would be
no juvenile court DR.. Joyce compliments
Mr.. Jacobs on the excellent services he is
doing for the schools, but says that the
board is not empowered to pay him any
salary. He feels that the board Of edq-
cation is as much help to the juvenile
court as the court is to the schools
The salary paid Mr.. Jacobs is but SO
per month for all services.
