EMPLOY C0NvlCTS ON ROADS
Satisfactory Results Reported From
Twelve States Where Experiment
Has Been Tried.

Twelve states have tried the en-
ployment Of convict labor for road
building thoroughly, and report that
the results have been satisfactory.
They are Arizona, Oklahoma, Florida,
Maryland, Illinois, Louisiana, Rhode
Island, New Jersey, Wyoming, Utah,
Idaho and Nebraska.
Since the United States government
has made its great appropriations for
good roads, which the states are du-
plicatng as the federal law requires
as fast as their legislatures meet, the
department of agriculture has been
making complete survey of the meth.
DDS of road building In the states.
Concerning the use of convict labor
the conclusion from these reports Is
that where the convicts are well fed
and housed they work well, save the
state in construction costs, and them
selves profit physically and mentally,

Memories
By GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

TT IS the faculty of Remembering
L and constantly calling to mind
what has gone before, that makes 1t
possible for us to tread Forward. IT
Is what saves us from becoming fos.
SLICED. 1t Is what enables us to throw
off the decaying shell of Self and to
renew our strength in Effort and En-
thusiasm and In Achievement.
All that you now have Of the Old
Year are its Memories. How are you
going to use them?
Every single life has Its Stumbling
Times. Every single life has Its Climb
ing Hours. 1t Is the Memory of the
thrilling moments, that fairly made
our whole consciousness glow with
power and satisfaction, that make us
feel we are worthy as fighters In the
game and rs asplrers for a portion of
the Joy of this world.
All that you now have of the Old
Year are its Memories. How are you
going to use them?
Why not resolve here and now that
you will just let slide, silent from you,
every unpleasant memory of the past,
gathering up and tying securely to
you the while, every Pleasant Memory
that the past has given to you? Make
them Spurs and Incentives tn mike
you holder, Drawer and bigger. For
All that you now have of the Old
Year-and Years-are its Memories.
How are you gong to use them?

SCOUTS AND JUVENILE COURTS

Franklin Chase Hoyt, presiding JUS
tice of the childrens' court, New York
city, and one of the country's leading
authorities on juvenile delinquency
says:
"Coincldent with the rapid develop
ment Of the Juvenile court there has
sprung up national movement which
has, believe, done more to pave the
way for the juvenile court than any
other agency. This movement Is that
Of the Boy Scouts Of America. This
Is a most practical method, 1t seems
to me, for needing the scriptural nd
monition that we overcome evil with
good; that we crowd out the evil by
filling in with good. The juvenile
court has to deal with actual delin-
quencles and often must employ dis
cipline. TIE Boy Scout movement,
however, successfully lays hold of the
very traits In boys that lead them
into mischief, and proves that these
same traits can function in a better
direction.
Both the juvenile courts and the
Boy Scout leaders have grappled with
the same problem. The Boy Scout
movement is not primarily concerned,
however, with reformatory work. In
fact, 1t is not directly concerned with
any such work at all. The Boy Scout
movement is suitable to every boy
from every kind of home. That means,
of course, that 1t is a most valuable
agency for those who are concerned
with problems Of reformatory work
with boys"
