If you have thought seriously OF the
future OF your boy child or your girl
child, and Of the environments you
would choose for either yo pprobably
also have given some thought to the
manner of conduct of municipality
under which they will get their first
ideas OF the affairs OF life, which in
some degree must begin to mould
character. Perhaps 1t has occurred
to you that the absence of gambling
will not inspire the boy to gamble or
that rigid discipline of the social evil
will minimize the danger OF leading
the girl child to think that feminine
virtues have little value. The un-
written history of wide-open town
would bring tears to the most hard
eusd criminal.
