A wise experiment, The danger of sending to jail boys who how only a streak of lawlessness or depravity has been proved often enough. Prison surroundings and associates are likely to poison their minds and turn them into hardened criminals. The car rowdy is @ nuisance and his numbers increase each season. He must be handled promptly and summarily. But he is not beyond hope, and wise treatment will do much for him. How these uncouth, lawless young men develop from wild spirited boys is a question worth studying. We have just been treated to an amazing spectacle of “striking” schoolboys who smashed furni- ture and started a riot in a city high school because they preferred Tagtime to the staid old songs sung in the school exercises, and because they saw no reason why they should be kept off the streots of « bad neighborhood. In the suburbs of Bosion fifteen hundred grammar school boys who think lessons should be shorter are playing truant, filling the streets wiih stone throwing and noisily prating about “rights” and “eeabes” until the police are needed to handle them. Are the children oft America being brought up to consider this sort of thing smart and manly? Unless fathers and mothers stop leaving it all to the teachers and themselves take a vigorous hand to these youngsters, we may expect to sce rowdies and gangs freshly recruited with each succeeding year. “Striking” schoolboys are good eoil for the growth of bad manners. The boy who does not respect authority before he begins to question and find fault with it is not the stuff from which good citizens a: If under a mistaken notion of ing early independence and self-reliance school children are to be allowed to parade their own notions of what is good for them, and to “strike” and “demon- trate” for the same ae inborn “rights,” a few generations hence will find a queer kind of freedom on these shores. ny on Never were such cheap, accommodating taxis on earth as right Bere in New York.
