Many small beggars and young thieves come before the magistrate, many children whose parents have shown themselves incapable of care, young lads whose only fault is an excess of energy, a few girls who have been terribly led astray, and a number of the unduly venturesome of both sexes who have run away from their homes. Efforts are made in various centres to save the youngster from further entanglement by helping him to work, and to a knowledge of the powers within himself the neglect of which has led him into his difficulties. Parliament has concerned itself on his behalf, probation systems and Borstal institutions have been created, and are to be extended and increased.
