It is appalling to contemplate the growing

There is only one way to reach these boys and
that is by educating them properly. As rule.
which Of course has exceptions. the moral
sense of growing boy develops in a line par
allol with his intellectual development. l am
not pessimist enough to think that these boys
are born with irresistible tendencies to com
nit crime. but their whole environment
encourages a life of dishonesty and deceit.
These two boys have been arrested before
and sentence upon them suspended. They, say
they beat the case. speaking in the very Ian
guage Of professional crooks. 1t appears to me
4 mistaken sense OF justice WHICH prompts the
Justices in the Court OF Special Sessions to
suspend sentence where a clear-cut crime has
been committed. Drastic measures must be
taken with the boys Of the lower cast and west
