woman, "Go your way and SIN no
more" he wrote for all time the law
of probation. -
Mr.. Jeffrey stated that mentally
deficient children were being found IN
large numbers. These as most peo-
ME believed. were not found IN the
crowded districts, but in the rural dis
tricts, more than $50 have been cared
for in the hospitals since this work
begun, the field being so large and
the cases so numerous that the staLe
was unable to take care OF them All.
He told of many pathetic cases, the
outcome of many of which was tnat
the children were properly cared Tor
and the parents were serving sentenc-
eS.
He spoke of the work of the over
seer of the poor, the responsibility
that rests on one serving In that ca
pacity in finding suitable homes Tor
the dependent children. The great
thing to think of was the future wei
fare of The child and not the rellev-
ing of the towns of the expenses and
making a good report at the c.ose OF
the year. He sighted cases of all
classes and some very near home. he
said these conditions should not ex-
ist and cannot without being known
by many in the communities where
they are found He put the blame
for so many children being in the
municipal courts, squarely up to the
parents as nearly all of the offences
charged to them can be traced home.
He said we can never measure the
value in dollars and cents of health
and character.
Mr.. Jeffrey spoke of the many chill
dren which are being reared in tu-
bercular homes which must surely
fall prey to that disease unless help
is given them and he gave valuable
information in regard to the drive
that is soon to be launched for this
particular line of work. Mr.. jeffrey
had a message that should be heard
all over the state that it may arouse
the peope of Vermont to greater work
along these lines. While his sub
ject was one that brought forth many
pathetic tales which could not help
depress his hearers, yet he was able
to fill it with wit and humor that
would bring back smile from tear.
Mr.. Jeffrey closed by saying that
the one great drawback in carrying
on this work was lack of funds, and
he expected C. S. Emery would see
that the state made an adequate ap-
preparation another year.

NEWPORT
JEFFREY ON PROBATION
Tells of Work Among Delinquent
Children and Criminal Parents.

Children and CRIMINAL Parents.
The auditorium room of the First
Methodist church was well filled Sun
day evening at union service OF
the. Congregational, Baptist and
Methodist churches, to listen to VIM.
II. Jeffrey, state secretary of char
tiles and probation.
The platform was graced by Rev.
FL. B. Rankin, Rev. l.. A. Edwards,
Rev. H. T. Coontz, Col. c. S. Emery
and the speaker, Mr.. Jeffrey. l.. A.
Edwards conducted the music for the
evening, Rev. Coontz read the scrip
ture and prayer was offered by Rev.
Rankin. Col. Emery made few re-
marks on the subject of probation,
saying that Vermont's heart began
to warm up a little about 20 years
ago, but up to that time very little
had been done for the unfortunate.
AS each case came before the courts
they were quickly disposed of and
the guilty were sent to some of the
state institutions, there to serve out
their sentence, but about that time the
law was passed creating probationer
officers, giving an opportunity for the
courts to place many of the small Of
tenders on probation.
Mr.. Emery served as one of these
officers for eight years, and related
some of his experiences in that capa-
city and spoke of some of the offenses
of the young people which were under
his care. After 16 years of this ser
vice the law was changed and
board of charities and probation was
created.
Mr.. Emery introduced Mr.. Jeffrey
as the man who saw great POSSIBLE
ties with the new law and fully grasp
ed the situation.
All who heard Mr.. Jeffrey on this
occasion were unanimously of the
opinion that he is doing a great work
among the young people and small
children of the state. He gave the
following interesting figures of the
offenders on parole at the present
time: "a for breach of peace; 40 for
non-support; five, perjury; six, ar
son; 18 robbery; 126, crime of differ
ent sorts; II, forgery; sc, crimes in
volving morals; nine, assault with in
tent to kill; IA, manslaughter; 10,
murder in second degree and two,
murder in the first degree. With this
big family less than five per cent
cause the board any trouble. Is it
not better than keeping 100 persons
in prison when only five of that num-
Der would cause trouble if allowed
their freedom under the care of the
probationer officer.
The financing of the proposition is
also worthy of notice. Each person
in the prisons costs the state $120
over the earning capacity and under
the new system the paroled prison
ers earned 100000 and thus saved
the state tax payers $4,000 and cared
for 2600 dependents.
Mr.. Jeffrey believes that the strong
should care for the weak, the fortu-
nate for the less fortunate and said
that when the Master said to the

Fish Stories

The lovers of the sport of fishing
are enjoying themselves this year as
never before. Lake Seymour and
Echo Pond seem to be the places
where the fish bite best, and every
body is having good luck. Ben Smith
got a couple of fine trout Friday and
had such good luck that he got up
crowd and went back to the same
spot the first of the week. So Ben
Smith, Henry Smith, Jess Boynton
and Charles Clark went up to the So
called SINNERS Spoon down by the
white popples," as Ben says. They
took little old Ford car and had to
push it a good deal of the way, but
the fine catch was worth all the
trouble. A fine string of nine trout
was displayed in the Economy Mar
