KEEP THE BOYS AT HOME.-Several
of the larger towns of Minnesota have
wisely concluded that more boys are

streets at night than in any other way,
and have taken up the question of how

The Chicago Record, in discussing
the subject, thinks something of the
kind could he adopted with good re-
suits in Chicago and in the suburbs of
that wicked city. This is true and it
applies with equal force tC every city,
town and village in the country. AS
our contemporary says, there are more
boys of respectable parents transformed
into loafers and yagabonds on the
streets after nightfall than in any other
way, and yet in most country villages
the sidewalks about the hotels and the
stores nightly swarm with boys who
ought to be at home.
n good many parents have lost con-
troll of their boys and cannot prevent
them from being out nights, and many
are out simply because no one cares for
them, but whatever may be the reason
the authorities should break up such
schools of vice and bad habits by dry
ing the boys off the streets. From the
street to the liquor saloon is only IL
step, and much crime would be pre-
vented by stopping nightly congrega-
