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,

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.
