Pathology or Crime.

But, nevertheless, there is a path
olOgy of crime. The psychology Of the
thief or the psychology of the muir
derer not only is an interesting study,
but it is also a scientific study. And
coupled with the psychological is the
physical side Of the problem. If you
suggest to the professional thief catch
er the possibility of heredity or atav-
ism, nine times out of ten he will re-
ply positively: mo; thief is a thief
just because he is a thief-that's all"
But back of the surface indications
specialists are beginning to trace a
cause and possible cure for crime
The cure does not, perhaps, lie in any
great reform movement that can reach
the habitual criminals of to-day. 1t
lies, rather, in cure for the future.

And is there a propOrtionate in

"Unquestionably. The fact Of the

that. New York is the clearing house
for crime in America. 1t not only is
the starting out place, but it is the

much larger criminal population than
any other city in America, and prob

Well, sir, thought dad was brave

clump of grass dad opened his eyes, and
when he saw that the procession had

me standing there laughing, he stopped
praying, and said to me: Il thought you

we started.
Well, say, each stone is about four feet

two more Arabs would get their Shout
