Ger OF the Juvenile court says:
Girls are worse than boys. 1t used to be axi-
omatlc that the average girl is better than the nv-
erage boy, but that's now a tradition. In 1920 we
had 1,9l2 boy cases in this court, as against 1882
this year. During the same period we had 63s
girl cases, as compared to 6S4 in 1921. Flfty-hve
per cent of the 6S4 girls before the court this year
were there because of sex delinquency. None of
the 1882 boys We're arraigned on that charge.
Thirty-three per cent of the delinquent girls were
incorrigiblc, as against only II per cent of the
boys

So: In view OF these indictments. vnrlous ac-
tivlties OF women take on an added interest and
are being widely discussed. OF course the women
who are doing things and are discussing things
stand by their sex. Lady Aston. the first woman
