An INHALED. expert criminal
once remarked 20 a student OF
delinquency; The only way 10
stop W Il to md out who and
what We are and what were good
for. Then you've got to make
punishment severe enough or op-
portunitics good enough for ".
You don't do either OF these now
Unwittingly he laid an unerring
finger on the essential fallacy OF
the theories OF crime that rest
only on minute body measure
mtnts. or on the classification OF
physical deformities. or on the
correlation OF mental Deficiencies
Why does a man rob or killy
That question none OF the count
less monographs on crime mas
answered and until Il Is answered
the criminal will remain a social
pest and an enigma.
To DIR. William Healy. Director
OF the Psychopathic Institute OF
Chicago's Juvenile Court belongs
the credit OF having made the
first rational attempt 10 supply an
answer. He has made a study OF
crime. so brilliantly and dellber-
ately practical. that II must serve
as the basis OF much future inves-
tieation and OF really helpful leg
islation and court procedure. Ills
book The Individual Delinquent"
now published after a long. pa
tient investigation OF over one
thousand offenders. will take its
place in the literature OF crime
as a classic.
Bent on discovering the driving
forces that urge to crime. Healy
found that practically all con-
q firmed criminals begin their ca
reers in childhood or early youth.
Heredity Is q potent factor IN
moulding criminals. but not near
ly so potent as the environment ana
conditions of youth. Criminals
are more often made than born.

being a Fagin. may SOW the seed

knows so little OF the springs or

most passionate love for his chill

When the lesson that Heaiy
teaches sinks in. society will at
tack crime in the home. The
parent and the teacher may some
day turn TO scientifically trained
specialists for guidance In the
upbringing Of their children. we
rear children now rather in a
haphazard fashion. We try to
make them fit a common system
or training. What We want is a
system so elastic that il can be

healy has pointed out that need.

pioneer in criminology.

CAPTAIN HECKER Held
PRISONER BY english

Captain II. c. Hecker of Whining
ton, who is said to be the youngest
sea captain from this section, is now
a prisoner OF war, having been cap
tured by the British while command
ing the steamship A. A. Raven. plying
between New York and Bremen. Cap
tain Hecker has written a letter to
relatives in this city under the date Of
March IL. stating that his boat is an
American vessel and had nothing but
provisions on board for the Belgians.
Before the war Mr.. Hecker was mate
and later captain of the Evelyn, which
was sunk by either a mine or sub
marine a short time ago in the Eng
lish channel. The Evelyn had only
recently been sold by the steamship
line in whose employ Captain Hecker
had been for a numbers of years.
While mate on the Evelyn he was
instrumental in saving a vessel of the
Morgan Line In the Gulf of Mexico
several years ago. AT that time the
vessel had lost It's rudder and was az

URGES Jewish YOUNG
men TO FOLLOW FARMING

Before large audience in the Y.
NJ. H. A. Hall, Third and King streets.
last evening, Professor J. J. Tauben-
haus, Of Delaware College, lectured on
the subject, Farming as a Profess
sion For American Jewish Boys"
The lecture was under the auspices of
the literary committee Of the Young
Mems Hebrew Association and prior
20 the address, Norman Slansky
played an operate piano selection,
while Ralph Saltzman sang a salo,
with Miss D. Saltzman as accom-
PIANIST.
Professor Taubenhaus pointed out
to his hearers that Hebrews as a ma
ton. have not completed their work
in the world, but that they still have
an important mission TO ill. He re-
ferred 10 Biblical times, when the
Jews gained en- admirable record for
the results they accomplished while
engaged in the primitive forms of ag-
riculture. These records, he declared,
were not established without good,
honest labor and thought Profess
sor Thaubenhaus stated that through
unfortunate circumstances and
through fault of his own, the Jew was
deprived of his land and taken away
from the soil. Through the many years
of persecution, he declared, they have
forgotten all they ever knew about
farming. He paid a compliment to the
government of the United States for
the many opportunities which they
have given the immigrant on his arri-
val in this country. The speaker
urged the young men to follow farm
ing.

Church ENTERS
upon HOLY week
Palms Are Blessed at the
Cathedral by Bishop
Monaghan
SOLEMN SERVICES
UNTIL EASTER

Palm Sunday, commemorating the
triumphal entry Of Jesus of Nazareth
into Jerusalem, was celebrated with
joyous services yesterday in churches
OF all denominations. Palms, the
symbol of victory, played an import
ant part in the services, which we're
given in crowded tabernacles. They
decorated affairs and chancels; they
were borne aloft by priests and
choristers in an impressive process
sion of PALMS." and bits of palm, in
many cases fashioned after. crosses
were distributed TO worshipers to be
taken to their homes.
Christs entry into Jerusalem was a
triumphal procession. The Bible says
the people. upon hearing He. was com
ing TO keep the Passover. took
branches of palm trees and went forth
to meet Him, and cried Hosanna,
blessed is the King OF Israel that
cometh in the name of the Lordl"
Hence the Palm Sunday services
take on a note of triumph, which is
in marked contrast with the solemnity
OF Holy Week, which Palm Sunday
begins. The Passion Week services
are mournful in character, COM
memorating the tragedy that took
place in Calvary, and eliminating
with Good Friday, when a three-hour
service is held in all Protestant Epis-
copal churches during the period
Jesus hung on the cross. These arc
services OF sorrow, but on Easter Day
every trace OF mourning will disap-
pear; the chancels and affairs will
bloom with flowers; glorious Easter
anthems will be rendered by the
choirs. and every feature of the ser
vice will proclaim the joyful tidings
that Christ conquered death and rose
from the grave.
The palms we're blessed and dis
/ tTibuted at the last mass in all Cath
Ollie churches. At the Cathedral
Bishop Monaghan blessed the palms
before solemn high mass.
The Passion was read or sung in
all Catholic churches. Children OF
parish schools participated in process
sions at the last mass. They carried
| palms and flowers.
