BAD GIRLS
"NEvER
REFORM

New York. Aug. 23.-'ln all my ex-
peritnce. and / have investigated thou
sands OF cases OF depravity have never
known a single case OF girl or woman
reforming after she has once gone
wrong" said County Detective Brastus
Backus. Of Kings county
Persons. whose business II is TO Inves-
tlsate acts OF deprayity and lawlessness
among juveniles. are alarmed al what
they say Is an increasing tendency on
the part OF children In Brooklyn 10 get
beyond patSTnal control and lead improper
lives.
Two recent cases those of Helen Eles-
ter. now dead. and Philip Bishop. who
shot and killed Catherine Doran. are
cited 10 show that thsre Is urgent need
OF widespread reform in the care and
bringing w os children. especially OF
girls
Detective Backus says that conditions
IN BROOKLYN are worse now than ever
before
That depravity ls becoming more and
more general among young girls in all
parts of Brooklyn" Mr. Rackus said lis
true. Boys OF deprsved tendencies may
he reformed and eventually become de-
cent citizens. but In my many yesrs OF
experience | have never known Young
girl who has gone wrong 10 ever reform.
This sounds strange. but 1t is the truest
thing in 'he world
Mr.. Backus said he once asked the
late Father Bass when the latter was
chaplain 81 the penitentiary. II he ever
knew girl or woman, who had gone
wrong, to reform.
Father Bass thought long time"
a i1 y Ra alg Il l,a1
thousands Of bad women Finally he
said: 1 think ! know 81 one. but I am
not sure
I'm tho great ma atority of cases" Mr..
Backus went on. the fault IL not with
the girls. but with their mothers
know what I am talking about when
say that the mothers are responsible for
the growing depravity ~ their young
daughters. II this depravity among girls
OF from IL 10 II years was known 10
parents II would cause indignation and
sorrow"
Patrick MaNon proha tionary officer NJ
The st. VINCENT dc Paul society. said:
In my Judgment the cause which
leads 10 Juvenile dep-avity Is that chill
dren have too much time on their hands
They are more apt 20 get into trouble
during the long summer vacation than
AZ any other time. and for that reason
am OF the opinion that for the chill
dren Of the very poor n summer school
is the only thing to keep them out OF
serious trouble" ="
Nn off1cial ~ the Brooklyn Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty TO Children
cited startling instances of juvenile de-
pravity. showing that in many instances
the blame rested with adults
One ~ the remedies suggested is the
wiping out OF that class OF small candy
shops where young girls and boys are
permitted 10 loiter. and where as q
often happens, they start on downward
careers.
