THE PROBATION
SYSTEM GOOD
AS Applied to Juveniles 1t Shows a
Wholesome Tendency.

An effective illustration of the value
Of the probation system for the treat
ment OF juvenile offenders was pre-
sented in Milwaukee the other day
when more than 400 youngsters who
had been subjected to its authority
were formally discharged from furth-
.er control by the juvenile court. The
experience of Milwaukee with the pro-
0ationers is described as satisfactory
In every way, the authorities stating
that very few of the juveniles placed
under supervision ever appear as sec
ond Offenders. This is in accord with
results IN Chicago, where, according
TO reports, fewer than half the whole
number OF children arraigned before
the Juvenile courts for the first time
are brought back.
a still more striking testimony TO
the value of the probation system as
reformatory agency comes from AL
legheny county, Pa. Within the last
few weeks 600 Juveniles have been
stricken from the roll of probations.
200 being discharged in one day In
the last five years 5000 children have
been brought before the juvenile court
IN Allegheny county, and during the
same period 1000 others have been
dealt with by probation officers with
out being required to appear in court
II is beheVed that the great majority
Of all these juveniles have been saved
from vicious tendencies and started ON
the right path to honorable careers.
The rapid extension of the probation
system as applied to children is one
OF the most wholesome tendencies of
the day. 1t has worked satisfactorily
In nearly every community where fair
ly tried, and 1t is blazing the way to
finer social conditions under which our
criminal courts shall have shorter
dockets and our prisons fewer ten
ants-N. Y Mall
