To the average person the duty of the prosecuting attorney is to issu warrants whenever anyone \violates the law, hale them into court and see that they get the full extent of pun- ishment the law allows, To the same av e person the duty of the probation officer is to look after bad hoys and make them report to him once-a week or oftencr, With these dutles fulfilled the use- fulness of both officials, to the aver. age mind, is at an end. But a t to the office of the prosccuting attorney, to spend a few hours behind the scenes and watch the inside wheels of justi revolve, eliminating squabbles, trials and tribulations of humanity so that they never reach the police court, easily convinces the visitor that the monop- oly on wisdom of the much advertised King Solomon was greatly overrate A check-up on the flotsam and Jetsam of the ills that heset humanity as seen in the probation officer’s of- fice also would comvince the visitor that the thin vencer which covers the human impulses and which is called civilization is at times but a slight gloss, and also beary out the conten- tion that “Grown-ups still will be he children Only as a last resort is a case which ecan be settled otherwise ever brought inte court, unless there is the actual commission of a crime involved., New Britain, officially, does not maintain a court of domestic relations, although it has a juvenile court, but the two officials ahove referred to, Prosecut ing Attorney Joseph G.
