One Mr. Walker, who would begin, as he did, with one wretched boy in each metropolitan district, and in each town throughout Great Britain, would do more to reduce poor’s rates, county rates, police rates—to supersede “great penal experiments,” and to diminish enormous judicial and penal expenditure, than all the political economists and “great system” doctors in the world. But the main thing is to begin at the cradle. It is many millions of times more hopeful to prevent, than to cure. Published at the Office, No 16, Wellington Street North, Strand.
