Thnt Is a problem that should havo. tho attention or the cltlzeim or thin town, ofcpoclnlly tho parents of tho boys. What are wo going lo do with them or for them? Perhaps Iho llrst suggestion In con sidering this question Ih that thoy should bu provided with somo good wholesome, nppelito-hulldlug work at home. That Is good, but doesn't llll tho hill, as "all work and no piny" Is only too ovldont Irom past exper ience not the proper way to bring up a boy. On tho other hand, it is not fnr litu IiohI IntnriislR to allow ill 111 unrestricted privllogoa or roaming tho streets choosing ills own companions and providing his own aniuseiiiouta or rocrontlon.
