The young, offender and the cause of hla delinqucocles has always been a puzzle to the minds of those seeking to reform him. Dr. Gillesplo in dealing with parental control mentions the case of two boys. He says:

One of them came to me com- plaining of pains in his head and, back or more precisely his mother complained of the pain in his back, while the boy complained of pain In the head. He seemed to know nothing of the back-pain which his mother solicitously emphasised. He wept readily, and was very unhappy .Lematang

And it was at the end of August of that year that James Perry of Red Lion Square, who did more than anybody else to popularise the use of the steel pen, was able to announce: "Till about six months ago the public had heard little of metallic pens, but at present it would seem that comparatively few of any kind are in the hands of any cluss of the community."

What Perry did with success in 1830 a London stationer named Wise had made valiant efforts to do between 1816 and 1820, but most steel pene then were made of crude metal rolled into a eylinder and tapered, the edges forming the slit; and they cost 58.
