Churches Help To Keep Young
Offenders in Society.

Seventeen delinquent girls have
been reported to Miss Eva Corning,
county probation officer, according to
an annual report presented to Probate
Judge Ralph H. Cav. The number
of neglected girls whose cases have
been investigated by Miss Corning is
thirteen.
Many of these and other cases have
been settled out of court, avoiding
hard feelings among relatives and
neighbors, court scenes as well as
saving in court costs. Calls are made
from time TO time on the girls while
those who are wards of the court re-
port to the court or are visited as
seems best.
Pastors of churches, church Soc
ieties, women's organizations and the

these girls, and they have been kind

Fifteen of these girls and eight boys
have been detained at the detention
home during the year Ten more girls
were taken to the home by other Of
ficers.
The reason for the small number
detained at the homo and the COM

Miss Corning to keep girls out of re-
