urges that the prevalent evil is due largely
TO the fact that children are allowed TO ram
BE freely after dirk, and he certainly Is
right IL saying, Keep them at home"
But back Of all, and more important than
ell such specific remedies, there must be a
genuine arousing Of public sentiment. A-
present many Of the very people whose chill
Gren belong to the ungoveTnable class do not
themselves think the matter one Of serious
importance. Perhaps they used TO have the

they would rather that their children De-
