were ciassed as follows: white boys.

In this connection the report sent out
by the steering committee says:
'sTha. The white girl does not make
---or at least has mt made--a good
, .'probatioaer" il. we believe duo to
two reasons: In the first place, girl
liz not brought int, court except As a
last resort Every effort is made to
help a girl to live right without hay-
ing her brought into court. Often
times Miss Roller is able to help the
girl by getting her away from wrong
influences and into touch with good
influences. Miss Roller lives at the
settlement House where girls are be-
ing helped In just this way.
We believe second reason why
girls seldom make good on probation
lis because society condemns the giol
who goes wrons%-even single time
and refuses to receive her back or
10 help her TO reform. On the other
hand, the hoy who gets into trouble
is given every possible "chance" and
every encouragement to make good
and when he has done so, society con-
aones and forEets his offense and re-
ceives him back into its ranks.
