EDITORIAL NOTES.


  The  most kind  generosity of our  Vice-President,
Lord Feversham,  has made  possible the issue of this,
the first number of our new journal. It is fitting, there-
fore, that his photograph should be the first of our
portraits, and that our first leading article should be
by him.   Whilst expressing our utmost gratitude to\
him, we must at the same time firmly determine to raise
our National Association to a position in which it will
be able to stand alone and, independently of all outside
help, to bring out its own journal.
  There are two ways in which this can be done:
     (1) by obtaining as many subscribers as possible,
         and
     (2) by obtaining advertisements.
   (1) The present number   is of necessity devoted
almost wholly to a  report of the two conferences at
Westminster, but we  shall make an earnest endeavour
in future issues to supply information that will be of
value, not only to probation officers, but to all Justices
concerned in probation work, and we venture to hope
that many  of these may become subscribers.
   (2) We  hope also to have a regular issue of from
4,000 to 5,000 copies which  will circulate amongst
Justices throughout England.  All who are interested
in the welfare of our Association could do us a very
real service by obtaining advertisers for the journal.
  Subscription form will be found on page 15.
                    * * *
  We   think that the Association can be warmly con-
gratulated on the success of its first great conference
on  May   10th, a full report of which  appears  on
page  9.   The speeches of Dr. Creighton Miller and
Miss Warner   were of very special interest and value.
They  will be found fully reported.


  The news  that Miss Warner has been appointed an
inspector of schools and voluntary homes under the
Home   Office will give rise to somewhat mingled feel-
ings amongst all her many friends. On the one hand,
we shall greatly miss her presence amongst us and feel
that she will be a very great loss to the probation
service; on the other, we are pleased to know  that
the Home   Office has selected a probation officer for
this important work.  Miss Warner  will be the only
Government  official who has had personal experience
of probation work, and  her appointment  will form
another bond between the Home  Office and our Asso-
ciation, of the executive committee of which she was
a member.
                    * * *
  It will be the policy of this journal, whilst champion-
ing whole-heartedly the National Association and pro-
tecting the interests of each individual member of it,
to seek earnestly to promote the most complete and
cordial ielations with other bodies. We have received
the utmost kindness and help on  all occasions from
Mr. S. W.  Harris and other officials in his department
at the Home   Office, and are particularly grateful to
him  and them for all they did to promote the success
of our conference.
                    .x   *    *
  The  necessity for the most complete  co-operation
between  magistrates and probation officers cannot be
too strongly emphasized, and we note with pleasure the
friendly references in the  new  number   of  The
Magistrate    to   our   recent  conference.  The
Magistrates' Association has always  shown  a  keen
interest in our work, and we hope that the fact that
the chairman  of the Probation  Committee   of that
association is also chairman of our own   Executive
