Fortunately the quickened conscience
of the period is now concerning itself
with the scientific study of the child.
For the first time in the history of the
race systematic effort is being made
through education to protect it from
the crimes committed against it by the
parent and by society-One phase of the
welfare movement being the establish

These efforts cannot be too lightly
commended, as they all make for reiey-
Ing the child of much wholly unmerited
suffering, besides tending TO enlighten
parents But no universal reform Of
training methods will ever be brought
about until the fact Of responsibility is
fairly pounded into fathers and mothers,

have been well meaning. 1t is the duty
Of all who bring children into the world,
and above all to protect them from evil
company. The hOodlum should not be
