was time wnen "A half dozen great
crimes would serve for year, but now
we have that many each day, together
with an amazing and appalling aggre-

increase in crime has gone on In spite
of the strides which civilization has
made, in spite, too of the increase of
reformatory institutions and improve
ments in their methods. in spite of the
renewed efforts of religious and ethical
bodies, the teachings of which have
been spread in every direction. and In
the face Of the fact that science has
turned its searchlights upon the study
OF crime.
Under these circumstances IL is not

of superfined civilization the vicious
and degenerate have not become more
