A LESSON FROM CENSUS successor, ecutives and road years FIGURE The Census Bureau estimafes the population of the United States at more than 120,000,000 souls, Thig foretells a population of only a little less than 125,000,000 at the next census. The estimate gives California a population of 4,700,- 000 and Washington and Oregon about 2,500,000, or a total for the Pacific Coast States of 7,200,- 600, the time the next cehsus is taken these figures will run to seven-and-a-half million. Add the other I fic Slope States and we have more than 11,000,000 people, or approximately 2, 000,000 more than the population of the entire Dominion of Canada. 1In fact, if progress tinues for the two years as for the few, we shall have only to add Idaho Mad tana to the three C tates to have a lation as large Would one onstrate th would be of vast Would one want benefits of free tions of have grown rapidly circumstance that By con- last Mon- popu- nex ag Canada’s, better argument to with the United States material benefit to Canada? a helior exemplification of the trade lack of trade American Pacific and greatly in spite they have had no tariff tection against the manufacturing § Tast.

Inherited tendencies, so-called, are under sus- But it is also true, as Dr. Glueck as- serted, that the bad and broken home must bear the burden of responsibility. of the growth of crime in America-—anywhere on earth. A crim- inal environment is responsible for tendencies toward criminality. Hence, to build up, strength- en and support the American home should be the object and purpose of those who wish to attack ‘the central citadels of crime. It is possible that the from right surroundings, and women—the young of both sexes—do go wrong though nurtured and cared for and cul- tured in proper life environment, but these are the exceptions. The criminals of the country— and they are mostly young—are recruited from the homes that in reality are not homes at all— mere places of dubious shelter. Children born into such homes learn early the rudiments of crime; they want to get away from such abodes as soon as possible; they do get away from them ——often they are kicked out of them. Social service is all right in any direction, but that department of it which shall labor to elevate and save the home will achieve most greatly in the serious battle against crime and criminals now raging in this and other lands. crintinal but may evolve not probable.
