never been moved by a vindictive spirit. Recogniz- ing in the meanest and the weakest, a soul purchased by the Blood of Christ, her sanctions are chiefly correc- tional and medicinal. This is also the motive of the juvenile court, the essence of which is correction, con- servation, remedy; not retaliation or vindictive pun- ishment.

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); Li.vDSEY. The Problem of the Children and How the State of Colo- rado Cares for Them (1904) ; Folks, The Care of Destitute, Neg- lected, and Dependent Children (New York. 1902); Les Tri- bunaux Speciaux pour Enfants (Paris. 1906); Children's Acl (London, 1908); Proceedings of the 75th Anniversary of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (New York, 1909); Horley, Origin of the Illinois Juvenile Court Law Cird cd., Chicago, 1907).
