The disposition to destroy or injure the
property of others is kind of lawlessness
of which we see too frequent examples
Some little boys on their way to and from
school are very much given to this habit.
Everything near their route needs to be
iron clad. Trees, fences, posts, everything
designed to be stationary must be rudely
pounded, pulled or pushed out of position,
tipped over or marred, if it is not anything
that can be carried off. 1t is bad habit,
and a great annoyance to property holders,
but it is worse for the boy, vicious ten
dency that is liable to grow.
