There 10 no doubt that q large per
cent of the degradation, disgrace, ruin
and crime among the young, springs
from the habit OF night providing, cor.
ner loafing a,d kindred acts by both
sexes In city, town and hamlet all over
this broad country. Any person who
keeps his or her eyes open knows this
Hundreds OF boys aud girls are out at

and none for good surround them con-

the responsibilities OF citizenship.
Upon us rests the obligation TO make
our boys and girls self respecting,
considerable and ambitious for their
own happiness and the welfare OF their.
own town. To this end II would seem
that the right step was being taken In
the right direction in the hamlet OF

its future work.
