Jose in Quandary
on What to DO

Probation Officer A. w. Swanson
has received letter from one Jose
Aguiar, who was given probation
two years ago in the superior court,
following his conviction for rob
berry. Under the terms of proba-
tion. he was ordered to report once
month to the probation officer,
for two year period.
Jose reported as agreed, according
to Mr.. Swanson, but slipped up last
month and failed to make his usual
call. The letter advises that he
was unable to report as at that time
he was in Imperial county Jail, hav-
ing been arrested with his brother
when the latter had a quantity or
liquor on his person, and both de-
ported to Mexico. Jose states under
the law he cannot return to the
United States for q year. His pro-
baton period expires May %, and
he is in a quandary to know how he
can report to Mr.. Swanson, when he
is not allowed in the country.
The probation officer stated this
morning that on advice of Judge
Cole, the probation order will be
held in effect on Jose until such
time as he is enabled to return to
this country, and if he has contin-
ued to behave himself in the mean
time, he will then be released from
having to report further. Mr..
Swanson is so advising Jose and is
having the latter's letter filed in
the county archieves, where it right
fully belongs, being a rather unique
example of English as it is often
written along the border.

scious attention. As | have said be-
fore, there is nothing mysterious about
giving suggestion. So just say, as you
would in conversation. precisely the
thing that you wish to be realized,
nothing less.
There is another method not quite
so shocking, that works well with most
children. The parent. preferably the
one the child is most attentive to,
should sit beside the child's bed, sooth-
ing him until sleep begins to burden
the lids, and then make the predeter-
mined suggestion. 1t is better to make
only one suggestion at a sitting. Con-
tinue in the same tone of voice and
say to him, much in the manner of
conversation, the thing that you wish
him TO do or not to do.
Suggestion with the child. as the
adult. has unlimited power and can
bring about incalculable results. There
is nothing that will not yield to it
nothing that it cannot bring about.
As corrective measure it far ex-
ceeds the commands given in wide
awake periods; as a developing power
it is equally effective; the latent ten
| denotes of the child can be brought out
and developed by il.
Splendid results can be got by rs
use in the wide-awake periods too. u
It is used as Suggestion, NOT as com
mand.
