Elaboration Of these figures can add
little to the story they tell The
figures are we'll nigh startling in their
significance. Think Of a system which
can take 70 men out of every hundred
and instead Of starting those men on a
career of prison. reformatOry or work
house life can put them on their feet,
start them off again, give them another
opportunity to make good. Think Of q
system which in every hundred cases
puts 20 men into the list of wealth

the probation system in connection
Herewith have been marvellous. Time
again forhids that | should here pro
duce figures showing its growth, work
and success. Legislators and. To a still
larger extent. Judges, have been slow to
grasp the ideals of the new court. IN
fact. laymen, not stepped in two mil
lenniums Of Judicial procedure, have
been the most ardent supporters OF the
system and the common sense Of the
new procedure has appealed most
strongly to them. 1t Is, then, from the
laymeu that the demand has come that
the same ideas be used in the handling
of senior offenders. 50 far as the
United States is concerned. this de
mand first took form in the state OF
Massachusetts. in 1878, 3 years ago.
and the system has been in constant use
there since that date At first it was
limited to juveniles and first offenders
among seniors charged with lesser Of
Tense, high crimes and telonies being
expressly exempted. The most com
pIete system vet inaugurated Is that
created two years ago in the state OF
New York. where the entire system Is
placed under the control of estate
, Probation Commission which Is en-
trusted not only with the execution OF
the law, but also with a general over
sight Of all courts in the State using
the system and with the collection and
tabulation of statistics of the value Of
the procedure and the results obtained
theretrOm.
Senior probation has now been made
possible by law in the following States:
California. 1903; Connecticut. 1908;
| Georgia. 1907 in the City Of Atlanta
| only; Indiana. 1907; Maine, 1907

! Twenty other States and Terri
tories have Juvenile probation only and
| all of the above enumerated States pro
vide likewise for Juvenile probation.

probation of senior offenders is yet very

A study of the above figures in some
detail would be extremely interesting,
but would be somewhat beside the Is
sues Of this discussion. The figures
show that whereas among boys larceny
and robbery constitute nearly one-half
Of the cases (46fo), among senior male
offenders they constitute but 27fc. and
whereas among boys disorderly conduct
and incorrigibiIity general cussedness
we might call it) constitute PIC;
among men it has risen to $3.50. Among
girls larceny and robbery claim 20fo,
among grown women they sink to 10,
while incorrigibiIity among girls claims
400. among women it has risen to 1910
in kindred otfenses. II is another eX-

in our present condition of society

and girls must be reached earlier than
