Richard Weglein. president OF the
City-t,ouncil, in speaking TO the con-
gregntion of the Columbia Avenue

so they might take means to eradicate
those which would be Of harm to them
and to the country later on.
"These same boys we see around US"
he continued, "are destined to be the
guiding hands Of the Government. How
can we expect them to guard faithfully
this trust II when they We're young they
were allowed to acquire any and all bad
habits. A great work is to be done by
them, therefore great care should be
taken OF them"
