and studied carefully.
In folk lore history and In the history OF To-
calities which hardly can be classed as folk
lore, the frog and the toad frequently have
been confused; sometimes stories have been
told of frog visitations and it has turned out
that the invading army was composed of toads.
The reverse Of the statement also has been
found to be true on several occasions.
Some years ago an army OF track-hopping
tramp toads took possession of the gravel road
bed of the Sioux City and Pacific railway and
in unbroken column miles in length, as the
local story had it, the toads marched past the
town of Blencoe, Iowa, It is stated that there
were so many millions in this mighty army
that nothing like an accurate estimate of the
toads could be made. The ground was said
to be brown with the color OF its visitants
If there was such army of the batra-
chians as it is said there was 1t would be no
wonder If the residents of the infested district
might have feared that the toads would divert
their course from tho railroad into the towns,
to repeat Pharaohs plague of the frogs, when
the rivers brought forth frogs abundantly,
which went up into the houses, and into the
bed chambers, and even upon the beds, and
upon the people. and even into the ovens and
into the kneading troughs."

Efficiency of Probation.
The only real danger OF the proba-
ton system in the treatment of Offend
ers against law. as pointed out by judge
Harvey H. Baker of the juvenile court
of Boston does not come from anything
inherent IN the probation system itself,
but from other things due TO its faulty
administration.
What is most frequently suggested
as Il danger of probation said Judge
Baker. lis that its use viii impair the
deterrent effect on potential offenders
of proceedings against actual offenders.
Probation in IFS essence is the holding
of fine and commitment in abeya~ce,
putting the offender under a trained
worker who tries TO put him right
Such oversight efficiently maintained is
a strenuous experience for the boy who
has got into lawlesS hab;es, and the way
for courts and communities TO avoid
danger in the use of this system is TO
insist on effective administration by
