The consensus of opinion among
Judges and people who come in touch
with criminals is that the newspapers
are largely responsible for the alarm
ing increase of crime and general
generalization of youth, both boys
and girls.
As a rule the press strives to serve
their public with what it wants, but
line should be drawn somewhere.
Newspapers are unquestionably edu-
cational to large degree, and it can
not be claimed that the spreading out
OF all these wretched stories Of crime

newspapers what they want--it has

subject it would not be long before
a marked improvement would be no
