Ba* 5 S •—— Goidlrian, North CatrohaiA GOLDSTON Hello reader? 1 Your ole Rambler hits a few jot tings from out our way this week. Now that school is out for the summer, tell me what are you go ■ ing to do? Some students a-e leaving home expecting to work thin summer, w'hile others a*'e home at work, resting, studying or sitting around crying the blues. Well, there is no doubt about it. “You can make it if you try hard enough.” I w'ould like to pass on to a!! the high school graduates thes.i ROCKYMOUNT'|| I VIE WS II PARENTS’ RESPONSIBILITIES ; i ROCKY MOUNT Far too | many parents act as tho they < j think they have executed their ; 1 full responsibility to their off-1; ! spring and society when they | | have, provided & house (not a j 1 horns), some food, clothing and a I chance for the children to go to j: ! school if they desire to. These j i parents hardly take into account; • ; the quality of these basic funda- i i mentals nor the esthetic value of j j a well-shapened life with a ‘built- ; • 1 in’ character which will endure i; | even years after the children are I i i gone to rest. i Colored parents who grew up ! under very poor circumstances | (even as the writer did back jr , I Iredell County and Transylvania) j, have too quickly forgotten the old virtures taught them In the. churches and schools that a j “good name .is better to be chosen j (than great riches” (Proverbs), I j and “loving favor, rather than; silver and gold.” Apparently no one believes that those Bible ver- ! scs are true today. Well, some - \ times we do wonder? Neveithc- j less, we must teach our young the ; Christian responsibilities of deal ing justly with our fellowman. We are inclined to agree with ! the California jurist who slapped j the parents in jail because of the j i deliquency of their children—re- I maining out too late at night. As- ! 1 ter all, who but tho parents could | |be responsible? Four decades ago j ] 9 out of ten parents would have j i known about where his offspring j was after dark. We have relaxed, j ! and relaxed until we have no con- ! ■ |trol at all over our children. We j I j are the ones who ask the child 'j what he wants to do. rather than | tell him or her what to do. The 'j tail is wagging the dog now. | Twice recently a young teach ;j er-father had engagements with, a ■ | photog for a family picture; but II each time he did not know where 1 j his 12-year-old son was. even tho '! he had informed him ot the en - ’! gagement. What kind of a job can ' j that man do disciplining other j children in school? It- has gotten 'j so that parents can train a. dog j i* to obey much more effectively i ; than they can their own children! j 1 It’s horrifying to think of it, Isn’t' it? We poor people have suddenly i gotten able (we think) to give 1 our children ail the luxuries they desire so they have no incentive to work for anything anymore. I Mother does all the housework j while daughter lounges around in j her short shorts —another of the ‘ things which, altho it brings move j masculine glances, does dot en- j a nee the esteem of the wearer in | the eyes of the males. There are | many more customs of today in j the same category, i Dad cuts the grass (no wood to : 1 cut anymore) or washes the car: while junior is at the movie or! just, plain loafing; and as a frier.'! i ! I said of her daughter just in col-! lege: “I didn’t get, to go to the; parties and proms when I was r ; student, hui. I tried to send her to 1 everyone.” We spend, far too much i on the frills of life instead of the i J fundamentals. Yes, we are re -1 I sponsible for the training of our! children and should be made to * answer for it—here, as well as j hereafter. Those who say that children arc j ’|no worse now than in previous! } history may be right, but certain h ly the parents have become much v more lax in exercising their par enfcai right to instruct, chastise. I and otherwise set a shining ex- 1 amnio for the youths to follow, i .And we know that that has caus-1 e4, said children to chart their j own courses which have led to all, (respect for low and order - -in thej home, school, church ano edm munity. Not being taught to work for their living or luxuries, they have assumed the. role of bandits’ “What’s yours Is mine; I'll take it if I want it.” This same feeling | is fast being multiplied on state. national and international mat ters. Following this line, it ap pears that we (ail the world) “are heading for the last round-up ” EDUCATION AND FREEDOM !
