Philadelphia has developed the

largest corps of trained proba-

examined mentally and physical
", their home environment thor
oughly investigated, and a care
full analysis made to ascertain
the cause of the product.
This boy inside of three weeks
had been in the Juvenile court
three times for housebreaking.
His mother lay in bed. an invalid:
and had the other course been
taken, to commit this boy to
refofmatory. the father. as well
as the physician in attendance on
the mother, believed the shock
would mean her death. ConSe-
Quently, the father was permitted
to use his own method of show
ing his parental authority, as
long as. it was supervised by q
mild-mannered probation officer.
This is an exceptional instance
mot the rule-and yet it worked
so well that the gang, of which
this boy was the leader, has been1
dispersed and the members Of 1t
are behaving themselves: and this
boy, who was apparently going on
the downward path rapidly, has
had his career arrested, and
through the several months which
have intervened since the incl
dent, has made an excellent rec
ord as a good boy.

COME time ago, without any
~ intention of introducing a
mathematical puzzle department
into these articles. but in the
hope of inducing wider atten-
ton to simple mathematics
showed an inquirer how to deter.
mine the circumference Of a circle
which should have an area equal
to that Of a rectangular figure or
given dimensions.
Many readers Immediately mani
tested interest in the subject, and
the letters of some of them con-
firmed the belief that in public
instruction the mathematical side
lags far behind the literary. One
letter Is worth serious considera-
tion by all who are interested in
the education of the rising genera
tions. ] quote from it only the
following sentences: II am sorry
tc admit that l have had no
schooling in mathematics" and
81 can't understand how the out
line of an oblong plot containing,
sixteen square feet can be longer
than the outline of a circular plot
containing the same number or
square feet"
The oblong plot was a rectangle
by 2 feet. It's area was there
fore 16 square feet. while its out
line was 20 feet around. Now, a
circle containing an area OF 10
square feet would have a circum-
ference. or outline, of only about
14.1671 feet. The explanation lies
in the ratio of the circumference
to the diameter of a circle. This
ratio, called Pi, and usually ex-
pressed in print by the Greek let
ter Pi has the numerical value Of
3.14159, ETC.. the decimal part
never coming to an end, although
1t has bn calculatd out to hum
drds' of places. Generally in cal
culations the value of Pi is taken
as 3.14156, which is slightly too
large. A popular substitute Is
three and one-seventh.

Look at the cut to see how
inclosed in a square, and also
containing square-the largest
that can be drawn within cir
Gle. The eye sees at a glance
that the area of the circle is
larger than that of the inclosed
square and smaller than that of
the circumscribed square. 1t is
also perfectly plain, as indicated
by the extra lines at the bottom
of the figure, that the inside
square can be made to approach
to equality with the circle, by
increasing the numbeH of it's
sides, first giving it eight. then
sixteen then thirty-two and so
on. If this process Is carried far
enough the sides become SO hort
that, to all intents and purposes,
the square is transfused into the
circle. A similar process is in ii.
Gated at the bottom Of the cut
whereby the outside circle, by
having its sides continually short
ened and increased in number,
may also be made to coincide
with the circle
BY a method similar to this

years ago succeeded in estinEat.
ing the value of Pi quite closely.
Suppose the side of the square
in the figure is six feet; then it's
circumference is twenty-four feet.
Now, the diameter of the circle
Is also six feet, but it's circum.
ference, instead of being twenty
four. is only 6x31416, equal to
1S.8496 feet. The area of rhe
square Is thirty.six square feet;
that of the circle (Pi multiplied
by the square of it's radius, cor
half-diameter) 10 only 2S.2744
square feet.
