THE AMYGDALOID Page25 man's going wrong. And what are we go- ing to do about it? I cannot say. But what we should do is to take hold of the two great deterrents to crime, environment and schooling, and use them to good purpose. By bettering the living conditions of our less fortunate countrymen in the slum dis- tricts and keeping the older criminals where they belong, behind the bars, so they can- not exert their iniiuence on the growing minds, we will take care of environment. As to the second, we should have strict observance of the laws regarding school at- tendance.

Let us give every man, woman or child in the country a clean, healthy place to live and develop physically. Let us give him an ed- ucation that will fit him to be a useful, eni- cient, and law-abiding member of society. Let us make opportunities for higher edu- cation as numerous and as good as possible. But if one or an other shall fall by the way- side, then a prompt punishment must be meted out not only for the sake of his fu- ture conduct and the conduct of others, but also for the safety and welfare of human- ity.
