PROBATION. The i.>roba'.ion work has shown such an improvement that at the present time we liave not one single active case on the 'ist. During the year we had the unique privilege of liaving one adu.t on the, list, and this proved so effective that the adult waa discharged at the end of six months, in comparison to the list of 14 active cases which was given me by, the county probation officer when the work was first begun, and which for a time increased, we felt that the present report shows that the work in probation lines is worth while,
TUBERCUDOSIS. "
in the work among the tuberculous afllicated we have to report that we notice a maj'ked decrease in objection of the patients to going to a sana¬ torium, but rather an increase of re- I (luests to be sent away. This may account for the increased number who have been going, but it also shows how prevalent the disease is in tnis community. 7 boys and 1 girl were sent to Mt. Alto. 2 men were also sent to .Mt. Alto. 3 men and 2 women ^went to the Stale sanatorium at 'llaiiiburg.       These     went directly
through our office to the state dispen- .'ary at Norristown, where they were examined and placed on the ^ist. In all these cases, expect the 2 women who went to Hamburg and the 1 girl to Mt. Alto, transportation and cloth¬ ing   had   to   be   furnished.
