Juvenile Criminality.

By Editor

Almost every day the papers print the evil doings of some precocious juvenile criminals; for they are generally in bands. Some of them are as young as six years, and a terrible murderer is only eleven. And some of the newspapers seem to delight to describe these crimes in their minutest detail. The crimes are terrible, but it does not help the matter by publishing the details. Rather we are familiarizing the young with crime.
