The first important tiling 18 to LOOK AT Al.r, THE I'AOTH, And the one important fact that strikes mo is that nil hondlumism is a result of abnormal de velopment. It is a perversion and a waste of useful energies. The blame for this lies not with the offenders alone. It lies partly with parents, partly with law-makers, partly with mu-ii.tv at hirce. There is soinothing wrong or something lacking in any community that de Yolops such a state cf tilings. 2. The next important thing is to deal with the facts in such a way as to produce general and IT.IIJIASEXT UTM I.TS. We need to deal with causes, not with symp toms; not merely to provide punishments, but remedies. We should regard the future. Our present inconveniences are small matters. The future of these boy, and of the community, should be deeply considered: We should realize, too, that the work of years, or rather tho neglect of years, can only be eradicated by persistent, patient and continuous f.nv.rt. To detect and punish a few individuals is an easy matter. To lesson and gradually eradicate criminal tendencies is another and far more difficult task. It is also a difficult thing to select such modes of dealing with of fenders as shall save them aud at the same time nrotect the community. And this is a question of special importance when dealing with jenvenile offenders. Now, there are three great romedies for the evil of which we speak, no ore of which any commu nity can afford to neglect. They are WOIIK, EDUCATION AND EELIOION. The two former should be made compulsory by statute Idleness should be counted a dis grace. Every man should have a visible means of snnnort. and every hoy, w hether he be rich or pom-, should le educated with that require ment in view. Every kind of work should be counted honorable, and every form of idlene iB disgraceful. Education, to some definite extent, should be made free to all and compulsory upon all. Less effort should be spent on show and more on the real thing ; less on tho so-called "higher educa- tiou" of a chosen few, and more on the "com mon education" of the masses. In common Bchools there should be a system of grading on the score of conduct us well ob on aptness iu recitations. Reform Bchools should till a place in the regular systems, com bining work with etudy. Police regulations should help th system. All boys under age should bo under restraint at borne or in the calaboose after dark. The home should also be governed and rci lated with a veiw to the general result. Society at large has au uuestimated influence. The example of growu men drinkers.BmokerF, law-breakers, loafers, bummers,- that are call' ed "clever gentlemen, these make nooaiums. Society Bhould make one rule for men and women, one for boys and girls, in the matter of morals and purity as in self reliance and inde pjudeuce. Religion is a great prompting motive that rn doilies all this, placing it on a basis of huinuai tv and benevolence. The real work of the church is in this line, If it neglects this work it dies. If it dses it, it will live. Our work Is not to tear each other to pieces about minor beliefs not to bnild up denomina tional establishments at war with each other not towage a blind warefare with scientific dis- iverors, hut to cherish hope, to help good gov ernment to encourage educatiou, to save Uie race from sin.
