DR.. and Mrs. A. S. Orne, .en route

will Spend several days in their work

specting charitable and correctional
institutions, and investigating the red

This good man and good woman
have devoted a score of their years
to the cause of the child. Dr. A. S.
Orne has been the pioneer, the pill
grim and the champion in the work
OF redeeming the young to honesty,
clean hands, pure hearts and useful
citizenship. The juvenile court law,
the probation law, the state industrial
school interests are variously his in
ventions his expert business. His
wife has been his loving helpmeet
and counsellor in the task. And wher-
ever these twain have gone, they have
made a lasting impression on the
minds of thinking people-they have
made good in the cause.
To Il representative of The Ard
moYete, which Dr. Orne remembers
very distinctly for past favors during
his former visit here, he said; "Yes,
'tis time that, through the press,
which has never failed to publish
meetings, the juvenile court is now a
