probation supervision is ineffective as

The justice Of the peace system is q
survival from & pioneer period which
has long outworn it's usefulness.
Conditions regarding the detention
of children are "unbelievably bad"
In spite Of the fact that the county
pays money for detention Of delinquent
children, cannot serve the purpose for
which it IS supposedly established.
Juvenile court and juvenile proba-
ton work in certain respects are not
conducted in keeping with the best
standards used elsewhere.
The report. however, is not destruc-
tive, for where it criticizes it offers
suggestions for improvements.
The fning system should largely be
abandoned and an adult probation
work should be substituted.
Endeavor should be made to have
the state take over the care Of mis-
demeanors in state institutions and if
that fails the city and county should
unite in establishing a farm institu-
tton for offenders The building Of a.
new jail in the city is opposed.
