ALBERT C. RITCHIE, GOVERNOR.                  837

provided by the County Commissioners of the several coun-
ties. The magistrates for juvenile causes of the several coun-
ties may also appoint, from time to time, additional pro-
bation officers, upon recommendation of the respective juvenile
court committees, to serve without pay during the pleasure of
the said magistrates. Such additional probation officers are
subject to the same orders and directions, are under the same
supervision and are vested with the same authority as are the
regularly appointed paid probational officers herein provided
for. All such probation officers receiving or not receiving com-
pensation for their services shall have had at least one year's
experience in the field of social work. Any person appointed
as probation officer in any county may also be appointed pro-
bation officer for one or more additional counties.

87. Said probation officers shall be known as "Probation
Officers for Delinquent and Dependent Children. " They shall
be at all times subject to the orders and directions and shall be
under the supervision of the appointing magistrate. In the
execution of their office they shall be vested with all the privi-
leges and authority of constables. In any proceeding before
any magistrate for juvenile causes involving a hearing, trial,
detention, the custody or commitment of any minor, one or
more of the probation officers provided for aforesaid shall
make such investigation and make return thereof as may be
required by said magistrate and shall execute such further
orders or directions as such magistrate may from time to time
require. The probation officers herein provided for shall have
the power to bring any minor or minors who may be on pro-
bation as aforesaid before the juvenile court by a process of
warrant duly sworn to, charging him or them with violation of
the terms or conditions of their probation, or by subpoena
directed to them for further proceedings, and when such action
is taken the magistrate aforesaid may continue the proceeding
and finally dispose of the same as fully as could have been
done had there been no suspension of sentence or proceedings
in the first place; provided, however, that in any case where
full trial or hearing has not been held and the charge of crime
has not been fully shown, sustained or determined before sus-
pension of sentence or further proceedings the magistrate shall
hold the case under consideration before sentence is passed or
a final disposition of the case is made. The magistrate afore-
said shall have the authority to extend the term of probation
for any time and such additional period as may be deemed
