This has been going on for q long
time in the majority Of the States.
Many people. even now do not
understand the principle OF proba-
ton. They think 1t is thing to
he tried when yon cannot think Of
any else. As matter OF fact, the
question OF whether "a person
ought to be placed on probation or
sent to an institution Is a definite
problem. 1t Is quite like the one
doctor has to solve when his
patient complains OF certain symp-
toms and he has to decide between
medical and surgical treatment.
Probation is only suitable for GER
tain cases. In them, however. 1t
is of inestimable value. It might

vantage when cases put on proba-
ton are thoroughly examined at
the beginning of the term. 1t is
much better done then than at the
end when it has turned out TO be
a failure.
When probation is a failure it is
generally because Of some fact that

At present, with few excep.
tions, the treatment in some OF
our courts, although sympathetic
and meant to he kindly. is not
really understanding. IL it were
understanding as it is in our
more enlightened courts, we
should not hear disquisitions and
sermons delivered to small chill
dren from the bench. Is a SER
mon going to have the slightest
influence on child under these
circumstances? Very often the
child is so frightened that he
cannot take in what is being said.
1t. therefore, always seems very
absurd that a magistrate, who
has no real understanding OF the
reason himself, should ask n
child why he did it, How can
child of IL know the real under

Surprising one Of the great fac
tors in the case is that his mother
drinks or that his father and
mother do not get on well to-

very foolish. irresponsible man
who has managed the whole estab-
