"I'll Make Him or Break Him" 1 Brilliant intellectually, Frank was small for his 14 years. When the police officer who arrested him was questioned as to what kind of boy Frank was, he declared, "He is the terror of the whole neighborhood where he lives. He steals everything he can lay his hands on." The basic complaint against Frank was that he had assaulted a com panion and stolen his show money. Unaware of the fact that Frank was an illegitimate child, the Judge ask ed him Mho his father was. The lad replied, "I don't know. I guess my mammy picked me off a tree." Evidence disclosed that Frank had been "farmed out" from relative to relative and an uncle who appeared in court with him stated, "You do whatever you please. Judge! I tried had captured single-handedly, four German machine gun nests. Would he be willing to act as a "big brother" to Frank? "You bet I will," was his unforgettable reply. "And I'll either make him or break him." The captain put Frank to work in his business, compelled him to report in the mornings before school and come to his place of business after school. Occasionally it was necessary to lay Frank across his knees and give him an old-fashioned spanking. "Big brother" visited Frank in his home and appeared in his school room often and unexpectedly.

Soon the truth slipped out, the Judge's but'ently harbored a secret fear of Frank, then came into court one day and asked, "What sort of magic did you fellows use on the little son-of-a- Frank?" "Officer," the Judge said, "we didn't do a thing except to help Frank find himself." It is four years since Frank was discharged from the captain's super vision. The captain is helping fi- kindly .attitude having won Frank's , nance him through dental college. Sympathetic understanding of a man of big heart built Frank into a good citizen, whereas a jail or reformatory might have built him into another Dillinger. confidence. The boy hung his head in shame. A few boys can be sent to the in dustrial school and be benefited thereby. Some come out full-fledged criminals, and Frank seemed to he the type that would so react.
