Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Superintendent of the Chicago Reform School to the Board of Guardians, 1871
The tabular statements contain the usual amount of information in regard to commitments, workshops, expenditures, educational and health departments. We especially call your attention to the remarks made by our Superintendent in reference to boys being allowed to graduate up to a certain standard in crime, before they can be sent to the School. The criminal statistics of the city show that juvenile delinquency is largely on the increase. The tendency to excuse and sympathise with youthful offenders is too often accepted by them as a license to do worse.
