The need of better care for Connec-

defective children. and the necessity
for changes in the probation system
are all brought out strikingly in a. rev
port on Children Before the Courts
in Connecticut. prepared by Prof.
Wm. B. Bailey of Yale University, for
the Children’s Bureau of the U. 8.
Department of Labor.
Things have progressed a. long way
since the passage of the Blue Laws in
1750. which allowed the correction 1:2

ears. but in the opinion of the report,
enough changes from the old' system
have not yet been made. The need a!

emphasized.
In New Haven, the largest city. in:
the State, 692 children were brought
before the courts in 1914 and 1915. Of
this number 672, were boys. During
that period no child under 6 was tried,
though one boy of 6 was committed
ror burglary, an unusually serious of-
fense .for his age. One prisoner srmv
