In his address, the Rev H. w. KEEL
logg advocated the juvenile court and
the probation system under court super
vision, for Delaware, saying that under
the present Wilmington system Of pro-
baton without supervision, every boy
found delinquent would be better off if
sent to the Ferris School than turned
loose without supervision.

city in the country, needed laws to en-
able the Furnishing OF adults who placed
children under conditions tending to pro-
mote delinquency. Delaware has few
laws relating to children.
DR.. Kellogg. who is a co-worker with
the Rev. II. W. Wells on the child vel
fare committee. confirmed all that Mr.
Wells said at the Episcopal convention
with regard TO conditions found in vii
mington by the government experts EN-
ployed, saying some of the most horrible
conditions in the United States were il

DIR. Kellogg thought the most hopeful

The Juvenile court reports, sccordin
to statistics gathered by Mr. Wells, Ia
stress on the great money savers to tn
community such institutions are.
