Gonnelly The Officer annual report of Probation . C. Connelly for the September 30 has been pleted and submitted to Judge T. Meskill of the citv and courts, In his report, Mr. Conne states that in many instances chronic drinkers have expressed happiness at the passing of the prohibition and that its coming is being the better. During the year the number placed on protation was 347. $9,687.10 was collected for the families of proba- tioners and $2,011.73 was collected in fines. During the year just ended there has been a steady decrease in the number of juvenile amounting to fifty per cent., fact is an agreeable one.

From all over our own and other states come thick and fast the Zood reports as to results of prohibi- tion, although only the = war-time measure is in effect and as yet, not heing rigidly enforced, it is still pos- sible for the chronic or drinker to secure liquor. well enforced prohibition law more hopeless cases of dipsomania and drinking men, will be eliminated and the officer have more time for the legitimate follow-up and constructive social service work with the different and more responsive type cases, es- pecially among the young. Many of the chronic drinkers have heen questioned by vour officer as to their opinion of the prohibition law and in almost every case the answer was the same, “It is a good thing. I sm glad of it.”" Already it is notice- able that some of these fathers spend more of their time at home and are beginning to discover the joy to be ‘ound in the home life and to as- sume their responsibilities in the solving of problems connected with the training of their families. Moral progress is always slow, but given a fair chance, the prohibition law will vindicate itself and prove a source of great blessing to our country at large, despite all that is said to the With a PROBATIONER FILES Interesting fiigures in Paper Com- year | com- | police | law, | felt for | arrests | which | 2110 referred to officer | confirmed | the | interested finan- traffic the with contrary by those cially in the liquor In compliance with made by your honor to change of location for the boys under my care who report weekl rrangements were made with the di- | rectors of the New Britain Charity Organization for the of one of their rooms at 52 Center street. The boys have now been going there for some time on Frida afternoons, di- | rectly after school. The change has | proved satisfactory and beneficial in cvery way to the boys, who are thus saved from becoming too familiar with the police station and being made conspicuous when reporting to officy It is aan agreeable fact that during the year just cnded, there has been | 7 steady dec in the number of arrests among boys and juveniles in general, amounting to fifty per cent, namely from 50 in December quar- ter, 1918 to 24 in September quarter, 1919. This decrease is due in large part to the supervised playgrounds, Boys' club and excellent co-operation be- tween the school authorities, especially the attendance department and social agencies of the city: with the police and probation service. It is not an casy matter nowadays for the boy tru- ant and alder idler to escape detection and still better results are looked for with the enforcement of laws relating to the compulsory attendance of chil- dren between the ages of 14 and 16 at our evening schools. It is becoming | apparent alsq, that the follow-up work in the homes is educating the parents as to our interest in the welfare of the young and making them more willing to co-operate as they realize with us that ‘‘prevention is better than cure.” Our woman officer, Miss Cora M. Beale, who is alsa agent of the Char ity Organization society, devotes most of her time in connection with the feminine problems, to saving the girl or woman from court notoriety and police record by patient oversight and counsel. Seventeen females were placed in her care this vear on proba- tion by the court, although many oth- ers came under her helpful influence thraugh other sources. The reorgan- ized State Probation Officers’ associa- tion held their first meeting at the Connecticut reformatory at Cheshire September 17. An interesting and profitable time was spent as the guests of the superintendent, George M. Er- ine, who conducted us over the en- tire institution, fallowing which he delivered an instructive address and answered many questions. A business meeting followed in the afternoon.

In conclusion, T wish to thank the many interested friends and agencies who co-operate so heartily each vear with your officers, the court, the pros- ecutor and police department in gen- eral for aid and kindnesses extended during the vear.
