NO EASY SUBSTITUTE FOR HOME.

A particular act of a probation officer Of a
juvenile court came IN for severe criticism at
the hands of two justices of the supreme court
recently. The officer in question had taken a
l5-year-old girl away from her mother and sent
her to an asylum, On the ground that the child
was an 'habitual truant'
1t appeared from the evidence that the younp
girl had been taken out of school by her mother
at the age Of IA years. She did not attend
school thereafter, although her health was good

You can not call child a truant if her
mother takes her away from school, declared
the justice III commenting upon the case And
the other justice interrupted, 1T is atrocous,
while the chief justice added cit is a bad law
that allows probation officer to seize a child
from her nome under these pretenses
