One of the worst things that can
befall boy or girl is to have the
liberty to stay out late at night. This
is too often "a fatal privilege, for it
is during the 0ight th1t all mischief
is planned and executed. The boys
and girls who are permitted the free
dom of our streets are usually the
ones that bring sorrow to their
friends and relatives.
