GheSeby beg toGsubnit this, my Sec
ontf annual report as Juvenile Preba-
tion officer of said court for, theEyeaT
ending July 31st, 1910. 'S~@'@ = A
First desire ito state that during
theSyear past l have frequently read
thesjuVenile law and all its provisions,
and aigoI made every eeffoft to secure
inflammation from other Juvenile
Courts and persons interested sin Sshch
work, that the intent and purpose of
this MOST humane and much needed
adteof our Legislature sAeuld be recog-
nized and made use OF to attain the
purpose for which It was intended.
You will notice from this report that
large number of complaints were
fled durihg the Year, and you will also
n6tice, that no child was committed to
anindustrial school or other insti-
tuition during the year. You will again
notice that only few hearings were
had, and 10 small portion of such hear
ings is Of public record. This was all
done that the names ofgpurt boys and
giris should D. not appear on the, court
reeordsgto remain as stain on their
names.---The aim. and intention during
the,past year, Was to3 settle alTitrouble
outside Off court, n always b looking to
theSfuture welfaresof the boy or the
gifI and 1n cases where the ,parehts
haze co-operated and assisted we
hare met with success, and many "a
chfid's maine has been Kept from the
juvenfie court record. 1t is only too
trds, and am sorry to, say it, that in
m6ny instances parents have, been
nsslecffpi and llrsfused, t91aid in, any,
maRner- In correcting their children,
and in such cases it is Eonlgea fnatter
ofStime, uMhenb childrengof,1 such
