Work Was Remedial.

The following report from the rec* ords of a probation officer is significant: "M. Z., of German descent, graduated from grammar school. Parents neat, respectable, and thrifty. Germana Girl wanted to go to work. Parents would not allow this, as they did not need her wages and thought she should stay at home and help about the house. Girl became unmanageable, and stayed out several nights, whereupon her parents brought her into court as incorrigible. The probation officer urged that the girl be allowed to go to' work. The parents agreed, the girl was placed on probation, and found work for herself in a department store. From that time she gave no trouble."
