had comparatively few prominent out of

president of the Boys and Girls National
Home and Employment association, pre-
scented petition in relation to congress
sional action in behalf of the boy tramp of

through the president-elect that the con-
gress be appealed to for wholesome laws to
abate what has grown TO be national evil.

and reports showing the extent of
crime and depravity among young
boys He says there are thirty thousand
confirmed tramps in the country all of
whom come from this class of neglected
boys who are permitted TO acquire their
criminal proclivities at tender age. An
interesting argument in behalf of the gov
ernmental control of these independent
youths is made.
