Prevention Better Than Cure

An Englishman visiting Sweden, nollcing the care for neglected children, ■who are taken from the streets and placed in special schools, inqufred if it iras not costly. He recelved the suggestive answer, "Yes, it is costly, but not dear. We Swedes are not rich enough to let a child grow up in ignorance, misery and crime, to becoma afterward a scourge to society, as well as a disgrace to himself."
