issued call to all judges of juvenile
courts in the state, as we'll as; officials
of institutions where Juveniles are
sent by such tribunals, for a confer

Judge Samuel L. Black, of this city,
has drafted new bill which is so far
reaching that when Judge Black sub
mitted it to Mr.. Shirer he decided that
1t would be better to have all Juvenile
court judges to coincide, in order to
pass it. Then again he wanted the

Canton, 0.-President Holland, OF
the National Letter Carriers associa-

vention that he would not be candi-
date for reelection
This step was taken in response to
an expressed wish of the postal de-
partment, as outlined in an address
before the convention by First Assist
ant Postmaster General Hitchcock.
It was, charged that Holland had
gone to Washington to lobby for the
carriers after having been requested
by the president not to do so.
The convention voted to pay Holland
$4,000. OF this amount $4,000 is to
be paid at once and $4,000 within two
years.
This action is taken to mean that
Holland will either voluntarily resign
or he forced to resign as a Boston

Consider another phase which at
first glance appears to be judicial
rather than charitable, but which is
! really in point-that Of the juvenile
court. The law authorizing this court
in Chicago was the result of long
years of effort on the part of men
and women to lessen juvenile crime
and to furnish some reasonable protec-
ton to children. To this end women,
especially through the women's clubs,
have contributed much, and the secur-
ing of the support Of the probation Of
ficers, without whom the law would be
failure, has revolved mainly upon
women. The law, while only a result
ant of much previous experimenting
and of such enactments, as the Massa-
chusetts parole law, has attracted wide
attention.
I 1t has been closely initiated, or is
being urged in various cities, notably
Milwaukee, Philadelphia, st. Louis,
Denver. And everywhere groups Of
women will be found who are urging
the matter, as in st. Louis, or who
have succeeded as the New Century
club has done in Philadelphia.
Consider the huddled misery of a
county poorhouse, its control let an
nually to the lowest bidder it's loca-
ton set apart and it's daily life un-
known and unconsidered by prosper
Gus people. Yet it is place where
intelligence would pay" in the most
commonplace sense of the word. Why
does its superintendency not invite as
a career?
Now and again some Incidents give
suggestion of what may occur in the
opening of vocation for educated
women. The head of the New York
reformatory for women and the whole
staff of that institution were selected
by competitive examination designed
to discover special aptitude and culti-
walton. The head is college graduate
and is said to be particularly success
full. In connection with the effort to
reach a scientific basis for the food of
$4,000 insane wards of New York, edu-
Gated women were placed in charge
of the food department of various of
the asylums.
It is hard to realize how difficult a
task is the proper feeding of an insti-
tuition. Grant that good supplies are
purchased, the preparation is the
problem; how to combine the regular
ity and economy necessary in a great
institution with the varying needs of
community, some citizens of which
work in the fields, others in the house
or laundry-some are consumed by
the fire of acute mania, others are in
ert and demented. The temptation to
monotonous routine is almost ire
sistible, and foodstuffs, Of good quality

preparation and serving. Nc one who
has been obliged to know them can
