Just as the science of preventative medicine operates today to check disease before it starts, so can preventative moral training and education be practiced to prevent crime. And, that is the only efficient method of crime prevention. Once started on the criminal path the chances are small that the offender will turn aside and become an upright citizen. Many of the most serious and heinous crimes committed in our city, county and state have been by men who were out on parole or suspended sentence. This is the opinion of our most reliable Judges and Prosecuting Attorneys.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

I “A serious part of the situation is that the average age of criminals is becoming lower. We find an increasing number of cases where crimes are committed by minors,” was the Judge’s declaration. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If we are ever to stop crime, it must be before it starts. We must build up the moral resistance of our youth against vice. ' We mu it let an awakened interest lead us to study moral training, preach moral training, and become actively, even publicly engaged in moral training by precept and example. We must take the burden of this work upon our own shoulders.
