Youthful Criminals in Germany.

A German paper states that in consequence of the considerable increase in the number of youthful criminals in Germany between twelve and eighteen years of age, the imperial ministry of the interior of Berlin is contemplating the reorganization of the compulsory education system. The government has in view the imitation of English institutions. All the German laws have the great fault that the interference of the authorities is permitted only when a child has committed some crime, but they give no handle against morally debased children who are still free from crime. The number of youthful criminals has risen from 42,240 to 46,468—that is, ten per cent. in one year.—[London News.
