Address by Warren F. Spaulding 
on New View of the Bad Boy. 
At the Village church, Magnolia, last 
Sunday evening, Warren F. Spaulding, 
secretary of the Mass. Prison association, 
gave an interesting address. on ‘‘ The 
New View of the Bad Boy.” 
Mr. Spaulding began by a reference to 
the old view of the juvenile offender, 
which was that he was a criminal (as 
much so as the adult law breaker) and 
all the legal processes in dealing with 
him must be the same ‘ora child as for 
5 ‘ ’ 
an adult. His act wasa crime.’’ He 
(m3 . d ”) 66 c 9 
must be — arraigned, convicted, 
cé . . ce . . 
unished,’’ as a criminal.’’ The 
punished, 
story constituted a criminal record, which 
could never be effaced. His relations 
to society cculd never be the same as 
those of a child who hid not broken a 
law, no matter how petty the offence 
may have been. 
The new law is embodied in new 
legislation. The boy’ s smisdeed is not 
ignored, but itis not a ‘‘crime,’’ to be 
merely punished. It constitutes ‘* delin- 
quency,’’ which is a condition to. be 
changed. The question for consider- 
ation is not merely what the boy did, 
but what he is. The powers of the 
court are substantially the same as under 
the old law, but the purpose is reclam- 
ation rather than mere punishment. 
The important thing, said the speaker,

is to prevent juvenile crime by proper 
treatment of children before they break 
the laws and come to the courts. Play- 
grounds, boys’ clubs, the transformation 
of bad gangs into good ones, the person- 
al interest of good men and women in 
the neglected and the wayward, the im- 
provement of bad homes—all these and 
kindred efforts must be the reliance of 
the community for the reduction of ju- 
venile crime. 
In time, if proper attention is given to 
preventive measures, if every bad boy 
comes under the influence of a good man 
or woman; if those who are going astray, 
as well as those who have gone astray, 
are looked after, the bad boy will become 
less numerous. It may not be agreeable 
work, but it is duty, and the results are 
pleasant to remember. 
Mr. Spaulding illustrated the various 
points in his address by incidents drawn 
from a long experience and a very close 
contact with the work.
