A chill night comes and reminds us that the

The Curfew Ordinance

We glad to know that meaning is to be
again given to the ringing of the o'clock bell
that the curfew ordinance is to be enforced, that
children under the age of II are not to be per-
mitted to be roaming the streets unguarded after
that hour and not to be the streets without
some legitimate object in view.
Hitherto strangers must have been amazed
what they have seen on Phoenix streets late at
night. In other well regulated in the
country are boys and girls of tender age allowed
the freedom of the streets late hours. Children
ordinarily careful parents kept at home
regardless of curfew regulations but many parents
careless and many children under seventeen
years of age. while not yet bad, are beyond
parental control.
Boys and girls under seventeen are most sus-
ceptble to bad impressions. When boys not ndi-
vduay, actively bad meet in a mass the
is apt to become bad, just apples thrown
together in a heap rot more quickly than when
they kept separate. Night is a natural time
for loafng, for that is when people
expected work. A boy of from fifteen to
seventeen who forms habit of hanging about
pool halls where older men, good and some
bad, meet, for innocent and earned recre
alton and others for loafing the habit of
loafng because he needs no recreation
AS to the dangerous folly of allowing young
girl to roam the streets late at night either
alone or in the company of other girls and boys
of the age, it is unnecessary to speak We
trust that the curfew ordinance will be rigdly
and impartally enforced.
For those who may not know, curfew was
originally coeuvre feu (cover fired, regulation.
before the days of matches requiring all fires
to be safely covered and all lights extngushed
early night, precauton against confagration.
The curfew preserved the fires for useful pur-
poses and guarded against their unrestrained,
destructive energy So the modern curfew is de-
signed preserve the fires of youth and to
guard youth against being consumed body and
soul by them.
