Why Bows Become
Criminals Early.

! 1t Is because boys are not taught self
control that they become drUnkards and
murderers, except in the rare cases in
which they are born degenerates. Lit
orally, every boy of decent parentage
could have been saved from the fate Of
| the drunkard. or the murderer, by his
parents, and that IS what Warden
Flynn meant when he said that the
! prisons are full of people who would
not be there If they had had the proper
bringing up.
All of this is just as true Of girls as
il is of boys.
II you are bringing up a girl to be idle,
selfish, and vain; If you are pamperinS
her love Of luxury and teaching her TO
believe that the chief object in the
life OF a woman is to fldUnt herself in
public Places in expensive clothes, you
are making a potential criminal Of her
You may be able 10 give her enough
money TO crafty the tastes YOU have
inculcated in ner. or she may have the
luck TO marry a man who can; but If
the money should fail the chances are
that she Will get the luxuries that
are a necessity to her any way she can.
The most pathetic thing about the
fOrlOrn sisterhOod OF the street is that
they have bartered everything that
makes life worth having for a few rags
Of chiffon and gewgaws. And this van
ity, this generalization of clothes, was
taught them by silly mothers, who. from
the time the girl was born, i'm
pressed on her by deeds, If not by words,
that the most important thing in the
world for a woman was to exploit the
latest cry in fashion.

Indeed, the shaping and At are entirely
