downfall of girls, at what ages
they fall most frequently, and
to what extent the home is to
blame, form the interesting part
of a QUESTIONABLE. national in its
scope. which has just been COM
pleted by Rev. E. c. Cameron,

The QUESTIONABLE shows 80 per

Twenty-three per cent were 1G
years old, which would seem to
be the most dangerous age.
Five per cent were under Is
