The experiences or tnt asylum in its former quarter In New York City have already proved the ef' | fciency of this treatment. and the new

 Such, for example, was the insti- tutions to which Leary, the English 'boy bandit of about 1S16. was com mitted after a career in crime that scertainly made him more justly a can hidate for the gallows than any of his young contemporaries who were actually executed before the gaping crowds that then turned out to enjoy a hanging at the Old Bailey. But these Institutions were for punitive rather than corrective purposes. They punished the youthful criminal with put ever attempting to show him that fhere was a better way of living or fit him for honest employment More than that the whole prison system was rotten with petty graft and juvenile delinquents met with scant sympathy and no understanding whatever of their real character.

The movement started in the accidental discovery on Dr. Bar nardo's part that London at night, even in the heart of winter, contained an army of homeless urchins, the "Don't- hve-nowheres' of the street Arab popu- lation. They roamed the streets by day and slept under the stars by night, twenty or more of them huddle1 under their rags in a single lay.
 They were without parents, or often worse than without parents; and more than that the very training of the streets, whose wit sharpening processes, under better circumstances, was no small traning toward good and ef- ficient citizenship. was making them the thugs, pickpockets, and general rascaldom of the next generation.

 tai of forty pounds.
 On this side of the water the sit- uation was somewhat better. although in 1S4S, just before the New York Ju-
 venile Asylum was founded, a chief of police in Gotham estimated that there were 10000 children roaming the sreets of the city, homeless al- though not necessarily criminal. This was fourteen years after the first or- ganized American society for the re- clamation of slum children, three years before the organization of the New
 York Juvenile Asylum, eleven years before the establishment of the Cnn- dren's Aid Society and the beginning of other New York institutions, now numbering about fifty, for the same purpose, and seven years before pr.
 Barnardo began his life work among
 the children of London.
 Since that period. juvenile delinquen- cy has decreased steadily. almost on the run, one might say. in proportion to the growth of populatiop in these two cities. pr.

New York, Oct. f4.--Less than cefi- tury ago two boys. one twelve ana the other fourteen years ol4. were pup licly hanged at the Old Bailey prison London. for highway robbery. orGl. narily, although a petty theft might be included in the long list Of crimes then punishable by death, these juve- nile highwaymen would have escaped this extreme penalty after period in prison where they would have been thrown in hourly contact with mis- ceilaneous population ranging from pitt iful little street tots of five. six or seven years to hardened criminals and ldepraved humanity of all kinds, ages, and conditions. During the early wears of the last century, fully SOC" children under the guidance of Charle. Dickens Fagin, are estimated to have been engaged in criminal operations in the streets of London.
 Beside such a record, modern instan- ces of juvenile criminality. of which there are still enough to make the saving of the children one of the most important of all modern philantro- phies sink into almost complete insig- nificance.
 Attention was recently been called to the changed methods of dealing with the youthful unfortunates in great cities by the death in London of Dr. Thomas John Barnardo, widely known as the Foster Father of Mo- body's Children" Dr. Barnardo's work in London has found a counterpart in Americas greatest city in that accom- plished by various organizations, not ably the New York Juvenile Asylum. and this fact lends additional interest to the story of what he did.
