For, A time all went well, but after

his school that Tommy's studiousness,
effort and conduct were becoming
steadily worse. This led our probation
officer to pay visit to his mother

shortcomings.
Why do you suppose he is getting

QUICKSANDS OF YOUTH. BY Frank
lin Chase Hoyt Charles Scribner's
Sons.
A sixteen-year- boy was taken
into custody recently at Port Chester,
n ". because he was found sleeping
behind some trolley barns and SEN
fenced to "trouncing" at home. The
Magistrate said If it wasn't given there
he would do it himself. Judge Hoyt
deals with such cases every day in
the childrens court of New York, and
after reading his book we can imagine
how he would have dealt with this
case.
We are quite sure that "trounc-
ing would not have been his sentence.
We can imagine him up there on his
ruling chair, his mind and heart full
Of sympathy and consideration as he
gazed upon the youngster before him.
