the school where Mrs. Coffin
taught, and he recalled their
relationship as a pleasant one.
The second voice was that
of Herbert Wing, principal of
West Side school, and also a
former pupil of the honored
woman. Mr. Wing was at one
time a co-teacher with Mrs.
Coffin at Lincoln school.

"While only three per
cent of the population is
guilty of delinquency, there
has been a 230 per cent in
crease in crime as compared
with a 30 per cent rise in
population since World War
II. The average age of all
criminals now is 21 years,"
the judge said.
Reasons cited for the in
crease are automobile owner
ship, self-help type of mer
chandising, and the poor
influence of many tele
vision programs, "including
westerns."

cases came to the attention
of the Jackson county juve
nile department, 400 of
