Charlotte Nea 1 ® One of the lawyers arguing for the de fense in the case of the girl out yonder in San Francisco who killed her mother de clared that the chief contributing cause to the girl's delinquency was that she had never had any "moral or religious training." r jj There are many Worthy- Ellingtons in America today, many jwhauce. in North Carolina and not a few' in, Charlotte, girls who will not likely etet kill their mothers or anybody else, but girls, nev ertheless, who are losing-their inherent value to society because tr<V have • ho value to society training, like the £irl wurderer of the Pacific Coast. The attorney, in thus presenting to the jury what he evidently conceived as grounds for its consideration, brings a challenge indictment against the modern Bo me and society. $ His statement explains much of the grime today. Not only are boys turn ing criminals in knee pants, but. the country is witnessing a sweep of wrong doing over its girlhood that is appalling and amazing. We are told that for every boy there is an American college, there is an Ameri can boy in prison, and that the delin quency of young girls is approximately as far reaching when we come to study the mere numerics of their stunts. _ In the majority of cases, the wrong at mosphere in the days of childhood is res ponsible. The American home today/is not even suggestive of the early domestic environs into which the Puritan fathers pitched their families. Pehaps. they were too strict and rigid and prudish and ail that sort of thing, and it may be well have that we have gun out from under some of the weights and impediments with which they oliain a ed the feet of their children, but. even so. we are bound to accord them the dis tinction of having reared their th# fear of the Lord and the law and to have contributed to American society that slant and bend for the better and for the morality with which our early his tory is so significantly filled. In the American home today boys and girls are allowed to do pretty milch as they please. Fathers are too busy with their pursuits and mothers with their Clubs and leagues and outside engage ments to give the children that parental oversight ami intense concern that they must have if they are to be reareil aright. Tbe result of this neglect is that the children are growing into manhood and Womanhood with their old Adamic ten dencies unchecked, with their natural wills allowed to run their course and with their spirits rebellious to any social or moral restraints. There is not that reverence for sacred and holy things, that fear of doing wrong because of its spiritual consequences of the I The New EFIRD Store I 88 CENT SALE > J §• Saturday and Monday I The Two Big Days , I I In Our Big 88 Gent Sale 1 TICKETS FOR THU RACES Br We are selling tickets for the Charlotte Au tomobile Speedway Races May 11th. amaowWßpaooßaoooooooooooooooooooooooeaoooooooooeoß ChiekMMt, Chicken*, Nice Fat Hens and country eggs.

And, fruiting from this sort of a home as it has come to be in America, are the Dorthy Ellingtons among the girls who in their wanton disregard for restraint and moral compulsion, actually run to 1 the grim limit of murdering the mother, and tens of thousands of boys like the two Chicago who, for the sheer joy of the thing, killed a playmate of theirs, —just to get a thrill from the experience of mur der. And here aud there and everywhere throughout the land, in the populous cen tres and in the remote country-side, evi dences are multiplying of the increasing ■ madness with which young people are possessed an dtheir determination to flout the moralities and disregard the virtues and have their own way. It is "the youth movement" among the 1 sociologists, and it is the some-other-sort • rs-a-movement mang the psychologists and ‘ yet some other among the psychiatrists. ■ but. after all. is only the movement of those who have always been on the broad road that lcadeth to destruction, the wild, upheedlng pleasure-loving. lust-following. • low-disregarding boys and girls, men ■ and women who are a law unti them i selves and are going at express' speed ' toward the gates of liell. j Victory’s Smile / i 1 ' ■ ■ (vicet Mrs. Melvin Jones of Chicago, winner of the annual north and ioutb women’s golf tournament at Pinehurst.

Everybody seems to eujey the singing a* we have congre gational singing, the old songs that our mothers used to sing. Mr. Whitley preached a great sermon from Matthew 1 8:22. "but Jesus said unto him. follow me. and let the dead bury the dead.” He s-aid in part: I waut to ask a question, what kind of a funeral do you want preached when you die? Well yon say I waut a good funeral preached. Ye-, people live for the devil and then when they die their loved ones want the preacher to preach them in heaven. I will tell you how some funerals should be preached. Here is a farme;-. and 1 love the good honest fann er. But here is one who will not go to ebun-h and pays no need to his soul. All he does is to make cotton and corn and curse aud swear. And when he dies they send for the preacher to preach him iu heaveu. Well they ought to scud for all the swearers In that community, fill his grave with old plows, and then put a slab up to his grave saying "gone to a dry climate.” Then the merchant that lives for gold, and ignores Jesus Christ: he don't give but ten ounces for a pound. He sins with a long arm, and an outstretched hand and his grave should be filled with old goods boxes, and a (dab put to his grave saying, “ran get ao more insur ance." Don't for God's sake be a hypo crite. Why don't the InUdei come and stand at (tic coffin of their infidel friend when he dies? N'o they won’t come and’ look on bis fare for they know he is gone where they are going unless they turn to’ God. 1m the-drunkard bury the drunkard. Let the gambler burv the gambler.

No sentence has been passed yet'] by Judge T. J. Shaw. i The mere fact that the two boys were f convicted is said by court officials to be, unusual.

After partaking of a sample, he told 1 the two boys that he would buy a pint l as soon as he cashed his check and then went and secured his money, accompanied by Furr. He purchased the pint, he said, j and then three of them left Concord and rode a short distance from the city to a place where they left the automobile and , went into the woods to iinish drinking the liquor. , While in this place of concealment, de- i c!nre,l Tucker, he was attacked am l was ' relieved of his money by Furr anil llegiar , and held there until dark, when he was j released. !

I It is not my purpose to emphasize I the importance. of rending, the influ ence of the printed page upon modern life—it is so evident that emphasts iR 1 superfluous—it would be arguing tne i obvious. ('ivilization as a process must 1 have a medium through which to ex press itself. Since the invention of print- ! ’ ing. the printed page has been the main j medium through which the collective ] experience of the human race is recorded j and passed on to society. Ihack of communication, or a result of the lack of reading, is one of the ontstandug causes of the origin, or at 1 least of the duration, of the Dark Age. , jln that age the collective experience : j of the race in the past could not be add- , jed to the personal experience of the in ] dividual. The individual is not ouiy a member of his family or group, but also of a larger unit which runs back to primitive man. add if the iiue of con portion is cut or clogged, we lmve a low ebb in civilization. Rending by presenting to us the past j and the present, by revenling to ns what { 1 others are doing and what they have j ' done, throws light mam our present! ] j problems and future difficulties. It has lon tlie one hand the jmteiitiai power to < | develop breadth of citizenship, fullness 1 j of life. It renders the individual's voca-i 1 J tion more profitable and illuminating t j his leisure time more enjoyable, his un dersianding of public questions more ad equate. his conception of life more ver satile—in fact in every way it render* I him more capable to adapt, himself to an i ever-changing social environment and' l more susceptible to the needs of a timl-i tifold society. On the other baud, by sos-i l teridg an adequate understanding, it ren-’ ders the social structure able to cope: • with social complexes and is meet nde -1 quately the demands of a diversified life,, ; and to prepare the individual to live— ■ not mere'y to exist.
