Where do worthless men and women
come FRONT
From worthless homes.
This is probably the best direct answer
that can be given 20 this comprehensive
query, says the Pittsburgh Commercial
Gazette.
Badly-reared children develop into worth
less men and women. This is the rule. The
exceptions either way are not numerous.
Occasionally you End boy or girl in
respectable family whose instincts are low
and whose tastes are inclined 10 be vicious.
These are the "black sheep" They are not
uncommon even in the best Of families.
Is there any necessity for these being
black when all the others are whitel
In some instances there Is, because some
children are born with very low order Of
moral sense just as some are born with
very low order Of in selligence.
The greater number Of wicked and i'm
moral men and women are such because OF
defective training rather than because OF
inherent dep,avity. They nave not mad the
advantage Of an envir nment calculated 70
develop their better natures.
This should be sufficient 10 show the ne
cessitJ Of rearing children in such way as

faculties as well as the mental This will
afford the surest pr iuection TO society
against crime and immortality.
How many OF those who are interested il
providing for neglected children in foreign
countries ever tnlnk Of those at home
who are really IN more ueplorable coz
dition than those who are engaging thell
attention!
What is 10 be done about TT
One way is for society 70 take charge Of
every homeless child and provide for II ar
environment chat will tend to develop it,
better qualities.
Who are nomelessl
All who are WiJnout the means OF proper
edu sation and aiming. A hcrse anC
parents do not constitute home In Its trut
sense.
Let society take charge Of all children
that are not being prnnerly trained, wheth

be cheaper in the end than TO allow then
TO grow up in wicSedness until maturity
and then board them in jail or work. touses
| Besides this win decrease the number o
criminals and the amount OF crime, and II
the same ratio improve society.
Something can be done by improving
homes but as rule those who have gon
so far as to settle down TO living careless
immoral lives, are almost hopeless. The,
regard their children as accloents, and nav
no care for them beyond keeping them IL
food and clothing until they are able 70 tax

What can you expect from home the at

TO find purity and refinement coming iron
il. These are two Of the most deslrsbl
qualities in men and women. Withou
them society would go TO sticks IN shor
order. They distinguish the civilized from
the uncivilized.
