Gloucester. Mass., July J(j.? This
ity. like most ci>mnuinitics i- hnv
ng trouble with juvenile tlelin
lueney. It shows here especially in
lie breaking open of summer cot
ages and unoccupied buildings. In
A'elleslcy. Massachusetts, where 1
-pent most of the year, it has been
evident in the ruthless destruction
?f school property for which there
is absolutely n<< excuse.
Farcnts Arc Blamed.
The police and school depart
ments put the blame upon parents.
They state that too many parent
are either at work?or else out on
parties, etc..?while the children a:c
running fast and loose throughout
the town. Perhaps this criticism is
justified, but it should be remem
bered that the parents are paying
the salaries of the policemen and
school teachers. Of course, the par
ents should help more, but the po
lice and the teachers have no right
to dump it all back into the parents'
laps.
In some homes both parents tin
obliged to work in order to pay th ?
high living expenses and taxes that
we have today. When I was a boy.
the parents and school teachers co
operated. In fact, when I got a lick
ing in school and my parents hear 1
about il. 1 got another ;.t home! I'm',
for some reason corporal punish
ment lias entirely gone out of style
in most school systems of today. 'I lie
first step in eliminating juvenile de
linquency is to restore corporal pun
ishment in both the schools and llu
homes.
Coddling Young People.
Professional psychologists (most
of whom have no children of their
own) say that children should i>.
entertained more and tit ihe pub!:,
expense. In some cities, the police
department is even getting up parti"
for the boys on Hallowe'en so tha:
they won't smash windows and de
stroy property. This philosnpi.x
seems very crazy to me. I speak
both as a large employer of yount
people and as an educator with .in i
| students now on the Bahson In
stitute campus.
I believe in supervised play -
grounds: also in the work of tie
YMCA. Y.MIIA. CY<) anil simil e'
organizations. More people shone!
contribute to such activities; but ap
peasing young people to prevent
them from destnrying property will
accomplish no more than did the
appeasing of Germany to prevent
her from destroying Knrope.
What Is The Remedy?
One remedy for juvenile dclii*
ouoncy is to repeal certain slab
laws as to employing minors. Boy.
who arc strong enough to destroy
buildings arc strong enough to work
in a store or on a farm. The original
purposes of these labor laws may
have been soufld: but they have
been carried loo far. Corporal pun
ishment may do something for these
boys when the schools are in ses
sion: but only hard work can re
lieve them of their excess energy in
the vacation period.
I have a granddaughter of college
age whom I personally desired to
employ as a secretary this summer.
To my great surprise. I was threat
ened with the law for not first get
ting permission from the tywn au
thorities to have her help me! Be
cause of the various officials upon
whom she was obliged to call, it
took her two or three davs to g-<
the proper blanks filled out in or
der that she could work for me foi
a couple of week.-!
New Point of View Needed.
Pros id i ill Truman i> not the only
person woo is cockeyed mi labor
problems. 'I'liere are just as bad e\
ample among the legislators of
every stole, and especially iimmm
tin* school commit tees of most cotu
iii in lit ies. l.abor legislation is neces
sary an.I I am for it; but it should
apply equally to employers and
young people. Furthermore. habit.-*
of work should be taught 111 our
public schools along with French.
Latin, music and the so-called so
