can be proved only by thorough investi-
cation Of thousands of reformatory chill
dren. And il this study should show that
these signs bore no significance such neg
alive Information would be of great value.
Such a study in. our -reforn1atories would
be proper, because their inmates are sup
ported by the state. and there would be
nothing to harm or annoy single child
even If the study were as inQuisitive as
that commonly made Of men in prison.
How Each Will Be Studied.
THE general plan,'' said he would be
to employ specialists in psychology medi-
cine and anthropolOgy. Just what data.
would be taken would depend, in part. on
the views OF each specialist. but probably
among these would be: Age. date of birth.
height, weight, sitting height, color Of
hair. eyes and skin. whether a. first-born.
second-born or later-born child; strength
OF hand-grasp. whether left-handed;
length, width and circumference of head;
distance between arches and corners of
eyes; length and width of ears. hands and
mouth; thickness of lips; tests of sensi-
bility to heat and pain-the latter made
without infiicting any pain: examination
of lungs. eyes. pulse and respiration;
careful inquiry into nationality. occupa-
ton. education and social. condition OF
parents, including whether one or both
are dead or. drunkards: whether there is
a step-parent; whether there is hereditary
faint or stigmata of degeneration. By
such study the causes of juvenile crime
might be more definitely determined. as
we'll as the differences between occasional
and habitual criminals. Now, if we had
a book published on. say. 10000 boys with
the above different items. it would be
most valuable. We have all sorts OF
theories in. criminofogy, but there are
few. if any, definite conclusions. and there
never will be until we begin scientific
study of thousands of individuals. There
can be no rational treatment of social
or moral disease without knowing its
causes.
The theory that. the criminal Is re-
version to a lower type results from in
dications-given by the limited number Of
cases studied to date-that certain phys
ical defects normal In the lower races
and in animals are found much more

We all know In a general way that
what is called psychical research has oc-
cupied itself for now many years with
the mysteries Of the silent werld Per-
haps few Of US know the extent to which
such studies have been carried, or the
Importance Of the men who have been
engaged In them. Among these, on both
sides of the sea. are strong, thinkers. hon
ored scholars not a few OF them persons
already distinguished-like Sir William
Crookes-in the world Of physical science,
and therefore doubly entitled to attention
and to confidence.
Quietly. patiently. courageously. these
men have pursued a course Of fnvestiRa-
ton as thorough as that which gave to
Darwin the great discovery Of his life.
The perplexities of telepathy. the history
OF apparitiOns. the question OF q thinking
and feeling world beyond our own the
arguments for and against the existence
Of the conscious and communicating dead
these are no longer left to tellers OF
ghost stories at ignorant and shuddering
fresides. Such speculations have become
the business of men. the occupation OF
scholars and enthusiasts. Up to this point
ii cannot perhaps be said that the con-
tinuance of personality after death 10
demonstrated to the satisfaction Of the
pugnaciousTy skeptical very likely it
could never be-but II is not too much

settle the vexed question whether most
Of our crime results from heredity or en-
vironment.
Many other causes for the growth OF
crime-causes suggested n the reports OF
distinguished criminologists' OF the world
were summarized for the committee by
Mr.. Macdonald. Among the most inter
esting mentioned were: Parents Increased
creased tendency to sterility; increased
abandonment Of children to the care OF
servants. exodus Of country folk to the
cities; increased daily labor OF married
women: too many school children per
teacher: and the propagation OF doctrines
destroying the traditional principles OF re-
hgion without providing anything in their
place.
That a worldwide increase in crime.
suicide. insanity and other forms OF alb
normality has occurred during the last
thirty years was further stated by this
criminologist. From German statistics he
finds that there is great increase.
not only OF crime in general. but of habit
VA! crime among the young. In France Ju-
venile crime has bsen increasing more
than adult crime, and. juvenile muir
der in three years became relatively
three times more frequent than adult
cnminalty. This Increase has been at
tributed to the increase OF absinthe and
other alcohol drinking among the par.
ents of the new generation. In thirteen
years French juvenile murder has
increased from q to 40 caaoS.
Girls show a greater ratio of increase
than boys in the reformatories OF SwitseF.
land. In Japan. however, statistics shoW
a gratifying decrease in child criaae.
About our own country we know little.
owing to the lack Of systematically col.
iected statistics. 49,
Gust as every state employs q health
ofncer, not only to stop but prevent dis
ease. SO IL should make provision for pre-
venting crime by employment Of the best
methods known to science and sociology"
Mr.. Macdonald said, Instead Of adopt
ing palliative measures, the causes OF
crime should be first sought out. JUST
as In cholera-pnce the dread Of nations
the discovery OF its cause has made it q
rare disease. SO in crime the investiga-
ton of it's cause may result in lessentng
1t greatly" ,,

are given systematic ply steal culture in
a modern gymnasium; are cheered by
music and given lasting moral training
through the intellect rather than tenn
porary moral stimulation through the
emotions. These delfnQuents are marked
like college boys, and after passing up
through the grades are paroled on pro-
baton. and finally discharged as cured
enterprise they work their way through
the labyrinth. Only one-half of one per
cent of these moral invalids now have
to go to the guardhOuse In. a year. and
SO per cent do we'll. This is the4"inde-

which we are hearing much these days.
And this brief outline of the best type
point here because one of the phases OF
the investigation wanted by senator
Dolliver would be the determination OF
what classes of criminals can and can
not be improved in this way.
To Find Marks Of Habitual Criminal
The difference between habitual and oc-
casional criminals must for this purpose
be learned. There are a.certain number.

the committee by Mr. Macdonald showed
that a majority had been abandoned by
their parents, a still greater number had
been thieves and one parent or both OF
