Why are Boys Criminals

A captain of police in the capt.
tai of a western state recently
made public his sentiments on
the question of so many boys
coming under the surveillance
of the police. Said he:
II is surprising the number of
young boys who are going to the
bad nowadays. We seem to have
"a large number Of fellows
brought in here who are in the
neighborhood Of IL to 20 years
old. They get to loafing around
some of these pool halls and get
into bad company. and then they
come in here. II is really unus-

The civic organization in Chi
cago recently made a census of
the boys in that city between
the ages of Is and II who are
loafing on the streets, who have
left school and who do not seem
to hurry to get into any remuner-
alive occupation. The number
was something over $4,000. No
effort was made to classify
these boys as to their criminal
inclinations and practices. but

What is true of Chicago and
