Cannut Blame Schools Alone For Bad Youths I Indianapolis, Dec. 16.—The public] 1 schools alone cannot bo blamed if 1 boys and girls go bud. The home and factory must share 1 equal responsibility with the school!) in training youth. With these declartlon Dr. C. A. Prosser, of Minneapolis, former director of the federal board of vocational education, today told tho Nations! Conference of Vocational Education that the schools cannot assume the full burden of character building. Dr. Prosser vigorously defended the public schol system against the' indictment made by Roger Babson, nationally konown economist, at an earlier sesssion. Babson charged the schools with killing the initiative of the pupil and ' failure to teach principles of honesty, I integrity and industry. "Thus belief that the public schools must do it all is shared by thousands of business men.” Dr. Prosser said. 1 “They fail to consider the fact that , the student is in school only a few' hours each day. and the remainder of the time is subject to the influence of his environment at home, in the shops, or on the streets.” Soot Causes Fog In Cities During Fail Indianapolis, Dee. 16. — (United j Press). —Citizens of Indianapolis and' other industrial centers who have to grope the r way to work on late fall and winter mornings have no one to blame but themselves for the condi|tion. according to E. 11.
