After all, that is the foundation of good society. But it brings in the reflection that if all the unmarried men in Canada wanted: to marry a Canadinn spinster, there would: not be enough young ladi- _@s to go around. We- would have to get them from some other country. That makes more vivid the historic picture of the arrival at Quebec of a number of girls from France, destined to marry lonely habitants.’ That was when the country was very. young. Knowing what we do now from the criminal records, that picture takes on «deeper meaning, Matrimony is the normal and fuller life. It ‘brings a #reater understanding. There is still another comforting thing in these eriminal statistics which ought to be noted. Serious crimes by juveniles are decreasing. Although there is an increase in the latest fig- wes of over three’ per cent in minor offences, there is a decrease of ten per cent in major delinquencies. Theft was by far the most common of serlous crimes. ‘Three out of every five were convicted on that score, Just as in the case of first offenders ‘ongst grown-ups, 80 also among juy- entle delinquents a decrease of ten per cent in convictions is a most: encourag- ing situation and, while there are miny good influences which deter the thildren from back-sliding, such as the liome, the church, clean sport, better housing, | better _ surroundings, . end healthier amusements, and - saner courts, much of the credit must be giv eh to the sehouls. the teachers, the wise school boards, und i. shout make “Us PARSE fo refiuel waerhes we, Who supply the funds to inake a broader education possible, are at all times eon siderate in our judgment of our edu- cational system and those who carry it into effect. . ‘which now constitutes 25% ‘ment firastically to reduce the price of One more fact. on the decline in - Canada.
