Tokio Seeks To Restrain
Delinquent Boys and Girls
TOKIO, June 27.—(JP)—A campaign
for the reform of “furvo seinen,” a
term used to designate Japanese
boys and girls of criminal tendencies,
is to be undertaken by the metropol
itan police department. The police
at present have a special staff which
deals with incorrigible youngsters,
but its numbers will be doubled in
a determined effort to weed out the
embryonic criminals of Tokio.
Today there are between 5,000.
and 0,000 youths of both sexes on j
the special staff’s black list. These
include college students, school chil
dren, factory workers and homeless |
waifs. The college students re- j
reive especial attention from the po
lice, who declare they have received
many complaints that the young men
have been frequenting the cafes of
Tokio at unreasonably late hours.

Commenting on the Copper
1 Eskimos, Rasmussen expressed
j the opinion that before law en
| force-ment is undertaken ef
forts should be made to edu
cate them to an understanding
of the law of civilization. He
pointed out that the Copper Es
kimos were in a state of prim
itive savagery. During hard
times killing of female child
ren is customery, and the slay
! ing of a husband to obtain his
wife is not regarded as a se
| rious wrong.
