Northcott In Address Before Rotary Club Points Out Some Features of the Local “Y.” VALUE IS~SEEN FROM STATISTICS Assocation Does Not Claim to Be Substitute For Home, But Is Great Supplement For the Home. W. N. Northcott, who is in Concord for the purpose of aiding in the campaign for the Y. M. €. A. spoke before the lo cal Itotary Club at its weekly meeting to day, pointing out briefly some of the at tractive features of the association. He said in part: A lending jurist in Brooklyn recently addressed a large gathering of social and welfare workers. He said he was con vinced that crime and lawlessness is on a rapid increase and that there is no cure unless the American home functions as it one time did. He felt sure conditions otherwise would continue to grow worse. He told his hearers that he felt that the American home as an institution for character building work was breaking down, largely due to the crowded and un moral way in which families are compelled to exist. He urged these specialists to cease to expect the best results to come through the writing of more laws on the statute books, or the hirin; of more po lice. a cure he suggested more room and better surroundings for the children and the heartiest co-operntion with the Y. M. C. A., that great ally of the home and the Church. He pleaded with the leaders to do all in their power to nflengthen this noble cause. The mayor of Chicago, recently asked his Chief of Police for an analysis of the crime committed and a study of the type of offenders. He found that 85 per cent, of ' the crimes that require daring, alertness, and skill were committed by those from 16 to 25 years of age. A recent visit to a Middle Western County jail found on a certain Monday morning 22 in the sheriff"s care. He cifh fiued to the speaker that-of that number threW were over 25 and trader T n*re from 22 to 25, and the balance under 22. He said about what the jurist said. True, this is a dark side of the picture. The truth is that for sometime past we have been saying that mir trouble dates back to the world war. Perhaps some of it does, but don't forget to include the auto and the movies. The other things that have made fathers and mothers “furm out" the jobs of making a home. The Y. M. C. A. is in no way a sub stitute for the house, but a great friend and supplement. Our local Y*. M. C. A. is dedicated to the task of Character Building. No ouc can accurately measure the val ue of its work blit this is true, that about iu proport iton as the young people are kept engaged in healthy and clean sports and their time otherwise occupied i (Continued on Page Two.)

Moore, of the trustees of Cullowee Normal Institute, is criticised by the attorney general in a report of nn in vestigation made to Governor McLean on conditions at the school.

'Hie report is the outgrowth of re ports of difficulties at the school which 1 have been current for some time. Gov. I McLean took cognizance of the diffi |culties some time ago and directed the attorney general to investigate the situa tion. The governor is to appoint a board of trustees for the institution in the near future. United State# Population Gains 8,000,- 000 In Four Years.
