last year their number was reduced to 20 per cent. “There is little to confirm the popular opinion that crime is increasing among school children and those under 20,” Brown declared. “Youth Is adventurous by nature. Boys in former years stole watermelons and fruit while now in the cities they steal such equivalents as junk and automobile tires. Oftentimes these youthful law infractions are exaggerated.” According to the board statistics a 2 per cent increase in prisoners between the ages of 20 and 30 was registered. In 1925 this was 32 per cent while last year it was 34 per cent. For the ages of 30 to 40 the number remained stationary at 23 per cent. Those between 40 and 50 increased from 13 to 14 per cent; between 50 and 60 from 6 to 7 per cent and those over 60 remained at 2 per cent.
