Volumes have been written during each

of conservation have been gleaned by In Canadian experts in the world's most government, hr, ,pending won- mn. rrosrsssivs countries sud il the ws- lions to teach us how tow-ear cattle clusions arrived at and the counsel and

We have other natural resources,

infinitely greater and grander than wh these, which the Conservation Com- pen mission has scarcely, if at all, touch- in cd. They are the waifs of the street, nav the boys and the girls who are walk- they ing along that narrow margin be- adv tween criminality on the one side on] and lives of usefulness on the other. ngo What are we doing for these? di-n

A boy falls into vicious habits. He pos

commits a crime and is arrested. The bog

magistrate can do either one of two giv things, semi him to jail or let him. hoe go. Neither course can be adopted S without injury to the boy. To send boy him to jail wi’l mean perhaps to as- one sociate with hardened criminals and gur confirm him in his criminal habits. In Oth any case it will mean a jail-blot on drn

his name from which in the majority go -of cases he will never recover. To let of

I' him go, even with a. reprimand and a sho

threat, will mean that he can com- ner mit a crime without fear of punish- per ment and he repeats the oilence at wh the first opportunity. ha
