A Case of "Making Good."
A Chicago judge had before him a
13-yenr-ola boy convicted of grabbing a
pocketbook from a woman in the street.
It was an aggravated case, but the
judge hesitated on nccount of the boy's
tender venrs. Calling to the boy's
mother he said:
"Pronounce sentence upon this boy I"
The mother did not shrink from tho
task. She said: "You must earn the
money to pay for what you stole. You
must promise to be in bod every night
by 9 o'clock or I will ask the judge to
send you away until your nair grows
gray." The judge confirmed the sen
tence. The mother wns wiser than
many judges, far wiser than the
Georgia judge who sentenced a boy to
11 years in a reformatory for stealing a
bottle of pop.
Restitution is the first and ideal form
of punishment. It is the renl way to
make the nunishmen. fit the crime, to
, bring home to the offender the measure
,of his offense. .
I By the time that boy has worked
and saved to restore the stolen money
he will have gained n new iden of
the rights of others in their property.
Then this mother's sentence provided
the proper accompaniment to punish
mentreformation, in bed at 9 o'clock
every night!
