Several have spoken to us recently, and it’s a big question for the parents who have lads of from fifteen to eighteen years of age. They don’t want to remain at home all the time, and sthi there is not many places for them to go. We still insist that the parents of Decatur should organize a “Boy City," see that they have suitable quarters and then see that it is clean, moral, and happy place all the time. Such action might save many of the boys and it’s a sure thing it wouldn’t hurt any of them. Think it over.
