While more cases have 'been handled hand-led by the juvenile court of this district dis-trict during the past ye?r tha'i in any preceeding one, I do 1 not attri-Tjute attri-Tjute this to an increase in juve'nile deiinquency, but rather to the increased in-creased activ'tv of the juvenile court and local officer?. This enlargement enlarge-ment of the juvenile couTt and its activities have been made pos-rible through the splendid eo-operation and support of the Coulnty Attorneys, Sheriffs and city marshals, most of whom are acting as 'probation officeirs also 'by the county commissioners "nd city, administrations.
