The Arabians have a proverb to the effect that "The stone that is fit
for the wall should not be allowed to lay in the way." Amongst the
children who wander about the streets there are many who are, so to
speak, quite "fit for the wall"--that is to say, they may, through
being brought under drill and other conditions found in the Brigade,
be turned into respectable members of Society.
