| A mother would be amazed if told that she was contributing to her daughter's downfall, but the mother who learned after six months that the "Julia" her daughter said she was visiting from time to time was a myth, was "of the class of improper guardians for youth who should be deprived of their guardianship." And there are many of her type. When daughter goes out for an evening, "I urge upon parents that they themselves go along and see that she is in a right environment; they need not stay all of an evening, but they should see that the girl is where they expect her to be." These are ¦BBBBEBBEHHBBBH not the words of a theorist or idealist, but are written by Miss Alice C. Smith, the "Angel Policewoman," of New York City, who speaks from many years of eperience in dealing with wayward girls, both in the work of prevention and of rescue. In the latter field sire assures us that now three-fourths of those under the age of twenty-five can " be saved. Miss Smith, whose service to erring ¦women has earned her the above title, by which she is known to the demimonde, tells us in The Police Magazine, published in New York under the auspices of the International Police Conference, that striking evidence of the success of this salvaging is to be found in the fact that in many thousands of homes in New York women who have strayed are now living as companions and helpers. From not one of these homes, she adds, has come the report of any advantage being taken of such a girl's record. One of the most potent means of saving the discouraged delinquent, she writes, is to provide a home background. One of the- sects has a system of what are called "Opportunity Homes," clubs and the wider information that which are listed by the Florence foreign-born parents now have con-Crittenton Home.

Another important— and a more modern—means of saving these women is furnished through the Neurological Institute. A woman or girl who appears defec-' tive is sent to this institution for a mental test, thoroughly conducted. When the report arrives the magistrate passes sentence in the light of science. A social scientist herself, Miss Smith has given nearly a quarter of a century to the work of salvaging the souls of unfortunate women. Her volunteer social services so, commended her to John D.

Then she agreed, j«ai*$*&ieasure, with the state- j ment. It was not impossible, but, it was hard. At that time she found three great reasons for feminine delinquency: "Fifty per cent, of the cases were f''*^ due to poor and inadequately 'managed homes.
