The Pope County Tribune, in a recent issue, CAV
several good recipes for keeping out of prison an
,hen cited the following figures from Indiana, re
preventative state, to prove its point:
During the last twenty years 10000 young
men between the ages of eighteen and twenty
five have been admitted to the Indiana re-
formatory at Pendleton.
More than 85 per cent of them came from
broken homes, where the father and mother
separated and remarked
Only one per cent of Indiana's population
cannot read or write, but that one percent fur
nlshes thlrty-seven per cent of the reforma-
tory inmates Only college graduate and
'only fifteen high school graduates were in all
that 10000.
Not single Boy Scout was ever received
at the reformatory
Only four per cent of the 10000 belonged
to a church. The percentage of negroes and
foreigners is very low, most of the prisoners
being everyday Americans, born and reared
in this country.
These figures mean something to every
good citizen.
That broken homes breed crime and that
the person who is responsible for broken
home should be punished as criminal.
That our compulsory education laws should
be strengthened, since education lessons crime.
That the Boy Scout movement should have
the financial and moral backing of every good
citizen. It seems to be the surest way to keep
boys out of the pententiary.
That church membership seems to be about
ninety-six per cent effective and should be en-
couraged To oppose our churches is to en-
courage crime.
Here are four splendid ways to discourage
crime: lessen divorce, support education, the
Boy Scouts and the church.
