Grime and the Home

Home environment and interest of parents have a great deal to do with the present problem of crime in America. Most parents have grown away from their children— Prosperity has brought us a condition of indifference— Too many things to do and places to go— The child is raised by a servant who is a complete stranger, and when old enough is sent away to school. Parents—Are you well acquainted with your child, its habits, and its wants? As the twig is bent, so grows the tree. A child’s habits form early in life. When this youngster is old enough to go to school, he has habits, which most parents ignore, and later regret. If a child’s mind is bent toward the better things in life, it is natural, but if not, it is your duty to straighten the twig, if you want a healthy tree.

If you are leaving ethical training out of the education of your Children, you must accept the responsibility.

You—as a Parent and not the Instructors in the Universities —the burden is yours and not that of the State. Most Parents who are informed of the crimes of their children, admit the ignorance of their child’s habits and wants, when it is too late— Juvenile criminals are not born—but are made, through the negligence of Parental duties. Supplying the necessary clothes, shelter and education does not excuse Parents from the responsibility of Moral and ethical teaching in the home, as well as a full knowledge of the affairs of their children. Bea real pal to your boy. Display an interest in his affairs. Help him in his problems of life. Then, and only then, can you measure up to the full responsibility of Parenthood.
