FOUR OUALIF!CATIONS A statement that there were four qualifications which experience liad shown would almost certainly keep a boy out of the Borstal institution was made by Mr H. C. Mathew, act-ing-superintendent of the Borstal Institution in an address to the Tnvercargill Rotary Club. Those four qualifications were —a good education a steady job a happy home, and a close affiliation with a church. Mr Mathew said the records of the boys entering Borstal showed that it "was unknown for a boy "who had reached matriculation standard to get into trouble which led to his entering the Borstal. It was also found that many boys went astray because they were unhappy or unsettled in their work. If a boy's parents were happy and his home good it was .seldom that he got into] bad trouble. And no boy who had kept up a close and active association with his church had found his way into Borstal.
