The increase I f >f crime and evil doing is owing to the j " ncrease of pauperism.

It is aow a serious problem with thoughtful jeople what is to become of all these i(ti:sc-le.-s, hungrv poor, with ranks con-' r ftanily growing larger.

Many young men, t herefore, come to the university with undeveloped muscles, a bad carriage jind an immured digestion, 1 without skill in out-of-door games,| and unable to rido, row^ swim or| shoot.
