IDEALISM

A study of facts has revealed that an extraordinary number of the crimes committed in this country is the work of mere boys yet in their 'teens. The period of youth, supposedly the age of idealism, is found to be the period of the greater criminality. Moral and ethical training is an obligation of parents. It is useless to expect others to provide it., LET US GIVE THE HIGH CHAIR MORE ATTENTION AND PUT COBWEBS ON THE ELECTRIC CHAIR. The fact that America is the most lawless nation in the world is a direct challenge to every citizen to take a step in the direction of eradicating this national disgrace Parents who neglected the training of their children a few years ago are the ones responsible for the juvennile delinquency of today

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

If fathers and mothers could sit one-day in a Juvenile Court and see the youngsters who are brought to justice, chiefly as a result of the negligence of the parents, then no father or mother could overlook the opportunity as well as the obligation of providing the child with every moral influence possible. All parents should be more interested in providing a religious and moral background for the boys and girls of today, for they are to be our civic leaders in the future. Let us always remember that we are somebody’s ideal. Let us help furnish a background that is fit for idealism.
