Meskill received this morning the report of the proba- tion officers for the past year, embody- ing statements from Probation Officer ldward C. Connolly and former Pro- bation Officer Lyman S. Johnson. The report is as follows: Meskill, Judge, City and Police “Following custom in the court over which Your Honor presides, I submit herewith the statistics for the year ending September 30, 1915: “The number of probationers car- ried over from September 30, 1914, was 136. The number now on the list is eighty-nine, composed of fifty- six men, three women, twenty-eight boys and two girls. The whole num- ber placed on probation during the year is 278, making a total of 414, in- cluding those brought over from last vear, made up as follows: 253 men, twenty women, 138 boys and three girls. “The amount of wages collected is $1,312.62; fines and costs collected, $1,948.75; cash on hand and in bank, received on unsettled accounts, $480.97. “Number of cases settled out of court, seventeen; number of superior court cases, three. “Having served only one month as probation officer, from September 1, when appointment took effect, and, therefore, not qualified to review of the pas at my request and with characteristic kindness, Mr. L. S. Johnson consented to do this and I take pleasure in handing you his re- port, embodied in letter herewith, up to the time he retired as probation officer. “As it is not probable I will be af- forded a better opportunity to pay tribute to the probation system in its entirety as conceived, planned and carried to its present high state of efficiency by Mr. Johnson, I do so now. Only those intimately connect- ed with the court are aware of the un. sh service he has rendered New Britain, and of the time, zeal and de- votion he has put into the work. The regret and good wishes of all go with him in his voluntary retirement from active service in connection with the court. “Respectfully yours, “EDWARD C. CONNOLLY. Former Officials’ Report. “Dear Mr. Connolly:— “Complying with your request for resume of probation work for eleven months ending August 31st last, it may be said in general that there was no essential change in the con- duct of affairs and experiences common to preceding years unless in the marked decrease of juvenile de- linquents during the last six or eight months. It is a long time since wa have had so few. This I am ap- prehensive is owing to a combination of preventive measures in more suc- cessful operation than formeriy Among those may be mentioned out- of-door employment on farms during vacation period. Many of our boys now find ready lucrative and health- ful employment during this danger- ous period of idleness. Some of our | probation boys have spent a part of the summer. in tent life a few miles | from the city but remote from habi- tations enjoying themselves in woods | and flelds and have returned in vig- orous health and spirits. We have | learned of nothing to their discredit | during their stay- The play grounds have also been a co-operating agency. | The Boys' club, under the able man- agement of Mr. Crawford, has doubt- less contributed to the same result. “If to save our boys and girls to society and from a criminal life, pre- vention is the key word to be passed along the whole line of I)Cne\'olcnt; service in their behalf. Tribut to Miss Osborn. “The great good fortune befalling us in securing the intelligent and in- terested service of Miss Elsie C. Os born, agent of the Charity Organiza- tion, as assistant probation officer, is of incalculable value. The public would be surprised to know how ul- timately the work of the Charity Or- ganization and that of our courts are associated. Though attended with | some enbarrassment, the information | she is able to impart and that she is able to acquire in court proceed- ings leads to a happy solution of | many otherwise intricate problems ai- | fecting soiled reputations with which our court and benevolent societiex have to deal. “And here it seems fitting that brief mention should be made of the sreat value of the co-operative ser- vice which now so largely obtains throughout the reformatory, reme- dial and benevolent agencies of our city. From a period just prior to con- solidated government there was littie cohesiveness or apparent disposition to co-operate service along any lines of philanthropy and civie welfare. To- day there are upwards of forty dif- ferent churches and societies in active and friendly co-operation with the Charf ition, whose agent is our tant probation oflicer. “It is with unqualiied expression of appreciation that T bear witness to the delightful relations and spirit of hearty co-operation existing betwean the court, the prosecuting attorney and the whole police department in their attitude and relations to the on service.
