The following is an excerpt from one of the articles by Mrs. Mary Wood-Allen, M.D., which we shall begin to publish the first of the year:—
Students . . . have discovered that the majority of criminals . . . are in the adolescent period; that the average age of so-called incorrigibles, both boys and girls, is sixteen. . . . It has at last dawned upon statisticians to investigate the susceptibility of youth to good influences and a wonderful discovery is made. The majority of Christians date their conversion to the same youthful years wherein are found the majority of criminals.
