Since 1900 numerous articles upon juvenile courts and pro- bation have appeared in periodicals published in the United States and abroad. In the same period, in the published Yearly Proceedings of the National Conference of Chariiies and Correc- tion, appear addresses upon the subject by Judge Ben B. Liud-
sey, of Denver; Judge Julian W. Mack, of Chicago; Judge
Cieorge W. Stubbs, of Indianapolis; Professor Charles R. Hen-
derson, of Chicago: the present writer, and others. See Mack
in the Reports of the American Bar Association for 1909: Bar-
rows, Children' s Courts in the United States (reports prepared
for the International Prison Commission) (Washington, 1904);
