MANS DANGEROUS AGE.
He Commits More Crimes at Twenty-Five
Than at Any Other Period. =

From the Albany Times.
1t is a singular fact, yet one xubstan-
tiated by statistics, that most crime is
committed in this state by men 20 years
old. This is not only true of the Lesser
but also of this greater crimes, although
a man is presumed ito be at that period
of his life not only In the zenith of his
physical, but also in full and complete
possession of his mental powers, with a
complete appreciation of right ard wrong
and thsdr respective consequences. This
condition is problem which has not been
solved by tho student of crlminolcgy, and
zone wlhl-h is made the more complex by
1.-THE fac. that the ages of q, 27 ard As
years nearly equal IT. with the interven-
ing years showing far less percentage
aof crime
It is indeed peculiar that the criminal
tendency should he SO strong at with
no such inclination SO far as criminal
statistics show. in as great a degree fer
the succeeding sixteen years, and then
another outiburst of the animal in man.
This condition is fourd to be true by
actual figures. and as all statistical COM
iputstions at which average conditions arc
sought to be determined are arrived at
by this method, so may the student OF
this, subject. as well as the Insurance
mlgnats who bases his rate on the gen
eral average of losses in proportion Ito he
risks taken, and does SO with full safety,
employ 1t in solving the problem before
him.
Charles K. Barker, chief clerk to Supt.
Lathrops, has made this subject one Of
close study and will soon have connplet d
kaI,I IL 49,, l.. .
already completed one relative tol muir
derers serving life sentences in the penal
institutions, and dts figures bear cut sie
general conclusion.

The Value OF Breyity.

In this rushing age people have no time
ITO read long newspaper articles, and cor
respondents who desire to see their COM
munication's printed should try TO be brief
and pointed. Years ago an eminent judge
in England, named Bramwell. attracted
attention by his communications in the
dioiadon Times. He never occupied more
tlran quarter of a column, but his ar;l-
Giles were packed with Thought ana con-
densed to the very las. degree.
When the readers of the Times saw
communication signed 3D." they knew
that 1t was wo, tn reading, and would
rot cause them TO waste their time wad-
sng through supsrfuous diction. The pub
lic needs more Eramwells among those
who write for the press, whether they
are professionals or amateurs. If you
have anything to say in print, cut it
short, and lop off the unnecessary -four
ishes. n,he brief and breezy writer gets
there. His articles are prin:Ied wh1a
those who wrt,e lengthy communications
are thrown in the waste basket. :,
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1897-08-31

which way to turn. It is out Of the ques-
ton in this country to talk about edueat-
ing the few and leaving the masses in
ignorance. That can not be done in an
age of cheap books and free press. The
professor should try another line. Let
him point out the defects in the present
system of education and suggest the
remedy. What the people need is not
fewer educated people. but more better
educated people.
The country needs a sensible and prac-
teal system Of education, under which
rich and poor will grow up self-rsspect-
ing, self-supporting citizens, loving their
country and having no false ideas of ar
istocracy and such nonsense. In a coun-
try where the majority of the great men
all spring from the masses it is ridicu-
lous TIC seek to build up an aristoeracy
which shall monopolizs the education
which should be free to ALL
