V The probation officer should the best friend of the child, the familyoon fldant and adviser, and the substitute for the reformatory* ? "?V The success of probation depends to a large extent upon the personality of the probation officer. He must ma?8 ure up to a high standard of living, be intelligent and sympathetic, and hAflrt a great understanding of childhdod, which Includes the ability to see the child's point of viewan^lgpAMMf Justlce.^p-^a? ?"flflEec&paclty of the child's best f riend the probation Officer should b^ the source of discipline, supervision and sympathy, the lack of which is oil I ten the chief cause of delinquency. ? , Mere surveillance is not nrobatlao but probation is an intimate persQflpN relationship which should command the respect and confidence of the pro bahqner. Thd probation officer snould be abl< to.impress a child with the dlrectllM force or probation as something net and vital that has come Into his llt< For many it will be their first exper ience with an influence which, guides directs and encourages with but on< thought in view, the future welfare o the child* The probation officer has not onl] to keep in touch with his cases, vial them in their home, and have them rei pjyt to him regularly, but he must think out and plan a course of treaty ment which will bring the child int<J good habits and surround liim wita favorable conditions of life. The probation officer should avoi^ two extremes of attitude, that of be4 ing too lenient or too stern. If tftf child gets the idea that he can* "pirf something over on the probation of ficer nnd get away with It," the offl* cer's influence is gone until he prov?f| the child mistaken. On the othtof hand, the officer must be one to yrhoo^ a .child' can always look for help. uxy?, cferst&hdfng, and Justice. Probation- is often a stow and tedi-1 ous process and the officer who starts ' out with the idea that he can over come in a few weeks tsme the effect. of bad influence and lack of training J that has lasted oyer_a period of years I will soon become dlseosraped. On the other hand, the officer who takes ; up his work with the idea of success j in the end in spite of discouragements, who makes up his mine to surround his charges with every good Influence . possible and bring to their assistance every helpful social agency the corn-: munity can provide, -vlll reap avi^h reward atioi? indefinite by the JudgeTr probation officer is usually the ?" 011 terminate further directing by the court. The officer is the person who has kept In close contact with the child and knows how he has progressed and fulfilled the terms of probation^h When a probation! made good and the officer ana^j^^udge decide that the time of his dismissal has ar rived. discharge should be given in a formal and dignified manner by the court, and such proceeding shown on the records. As the family confidant and adviser, the probation officer will often play an Important role. Poverty and uncleanliness. family quarrels and an unsympathetic atmos phere ?ill frequently be the home en vironments from which will come the dependent, neglected or delinquent child, and the probation officer, as an educational guide from a social point I of view, must include the parents in the process of social education. The law provides means of relieving conditions to some extent in poverty-1 stricken homes and often there are- ml i atives. friends? and social agencies whom the probation Officer can per suade to lend a helping hand in the way of financial Telief. The probation officer has to gain tli^ confidence of the different members of the probationer's family to such an ex- j tent that they will tell him Intimate j personal details about themselves and j ine another, for only by becoming ne-H lualnterl with all the interrelated facts wd . influences that surround his i charges can a probation officer work 'or their best welfare. He has often o become the mediator In family quar- ' ?els, the adjuster of ramtlv difflcul ics, and he can acquire su^b aconfi STOPPED BY INSURANCE CO.

Franklinton, Oct. 21.?A bold hold-up was committed one-half mile north of the limits of the town tonight. At 7:30 o'clock Messrs. Rowland Nash and J. C. Conyefe were driving into town and when half way be-^ tween the FrankHntoj^^^MNH^SSl^ about , sixteen years old stepped In front of the car and demanded that It be stopped. When the car came to a standstill the occupants found themselves looking into the barrels of four guns, and they were commanded to get oat of the car. which they did, dtlll under coveF. The highwaymen searched Nash and Conyers and took from them eighteen dollars, all they had except four dol lars which the culprits failed to find. Three of the robbers were dressed In army uniforms. Police officers and a posse of citizens are now out in search of the highwaymen, and it is believed that they will be apprehended, as they were all walking. WILSON ABLE TO FORMULATE MESSAGE Washington, Oct. 21.?While Presi dent Wilson was able today to formu late a message to Secretary Lane for transmission to the National Industri al Conference, no effort was made ei ther by Rear Admiral Grayson, his physician, or by White House-officials to create the Impression that the ac tion was indicative of a decided im provement in the President's condition. Writing of the messages, however, was pointed to by members of the White House staff as further refuting reports that Mr. Wilson vas unable to transact any necessary business that might require his attention as chief executive. The situation confronting the National Industrial Conference, or which may face it at any time J through danger of lu diaaoUidga,. 1 considered as constituting such a ne cessity.
