PROBATION SYSTEM.

Like capital punishment the matter
 of putting on probation persons ar
 rested is matter of constant dis
 cussion. For this reason the reports
 of the Probation Officer are valuable.
 Some English authorities insist that
 prisoners should be treated more
 strictly than is the habit in this country Many believe all sympathy Is wasted: that probation and similar treatment tends to make for more lawlessness. On the other hand there are those who believe in keeping offenders as free from humiliation as possible; they advocate encouraging the development of self-respect-the self-respect that is apt to disappear after a man or woman has been im- prisoned and subjected to the rigors of prison life with its associations.
 Probation Officer Connelly's report shows that 179 persons on, probation observed the terms of their probation and were released during the period covered by the report Seventeen were re-arrested. and 4 escaped. Eighty-one remained on probation the first of July. Some s6,Ss5 was collected in the year ending June 30, 1923, as compared with about s3,ooo for the previous year.
 Summarized, the Probation Officers report shows that the system has worked we'll in this city and that most of these placed on probation have appreciated the fact that they were given another chance, This may be seen in the results that figures are able to show. But the good results may be far greater than is known at this time. Certainly it is better for person who has erred and been caught to be. given another chance if that second chance will make him or her appreciate how near he or she was to disgrace. Such leniency may be the inspiration. in fu- ture life, that will be productive of, splendid results in life and character. There is great need of charity toward all at this time when the world IS looking for peace on earth. The men and women who have been "on proba- tion" and who have realized the fair ness with which they were treated, may number among them some of the best citizens of the country, whereas, were they to have been subjected to that Kills initiative and they might have merely ena cumbered the earth. The Probation Officers report brings thorough ap- proval of the way the system Is work ing out in New Britain.

FRESH AIR CAMP NEWS

The rich man cannot go out and buy the strength he craves. But the people of the city have made 1t pos sible for undernourished children to go to place where fresh, clear air and nourishing food and wise atten- tion, are bringing to them the new strength that the rich man cannot buy. It is the strength. that nature wants to give them. if nature is given half chance. It is the strength that belongs to these children by right by divine right. And it Is the almost divine right of the people of this city to help give nature the chance to work for these undernourished chill dren as she is glad to do.
 Underweight and undernourished children-and those at the Fresh Air camp are, both--need added flesh. Now come the first reports from that camp showing, not that the children Are. getting fat, but rather that they are gaining the ounces and the pounds they ought naturally, to gain. They are in place where they are growing as they ought to grow; they are on their way to normal condition. And the people of the city are making this possible.
 Wednesday more people of the city "a great many more. it is to be hoped
 will make it possible for more un- dernourished children of New Britain to start out on the road to strength. Those who want to help will enter the Fresh Air golf tournament at the Shuttle Meadow club. The best golf CTS are going to help; the worst play CTS are going to help. The club itself is. helping by giving its links over to this good cause for the day. The clubs professional golfer, Val Flood, is going to help. The Herald is trying to help by urging everyone to enter the tournament it has arranged and for which 1t has purchased prizes, bought at cost because of Porter & Dyson's wish to help, such prizes to be attractive reminders of the increas- ing strength the winners of them have helped to give these children.
