School sehiors, Schools play a minor part in comparison to home training! and leisure ac-! tivitiespthe three! agree, “Teeners today aren't too much interested in staying home; and homelife suffers,” says Jeanne Mohrhaus., “An improvement on this score is the best! place to combat juvenile "delin-| quency. If parents made “ home! more fun, teens would be more! willing to stay home, I think if parents showed an interest in their sons’ and daughters’ activities, let them invite their friends in or played cards with them, the situation in many . homes would be improved.”

By JOAN “All the kids do it, why can’t I Is this your chronic complaint? - Small fry, you know, are great comformers. They all want to play with the same toys at the same time. They feel insecure if they differ in any way from the rest of the second grade.

STILL, the urge to-do as others do dies hard. So what's the answer to the perinnial question? Age, first of all. Not just vour Age in years, but vour mental and emotional maturity. No

getting around it-—people differ in their rate of development. Each must gear his activities to his ability to handle situations,

Third, parental wisdom. Neglectful or doting parents let their kids do anything. You're really lucky if Pop and Mom hold you back a bit. Doing everything all at once can give a Teener social indigestion -— he often ends up bored and blase and miserable.

Teen Reading 5

By GAY PAULEY

United Press Staff Corcespondent . NEW YORK, Dec. 2—Margaret| C. Scroggin, a juvenile literature jauthority, contends ‘hat radio made young people read more and television probably will have the {same effect, | “However, it's just a little too soon to predict exactly what TV \will do.” said the woman who has been working with teen-agers and

their reading material for 25

years,

“Some people are complaining -

that TV is going to keep the teen-, agers away from books.” she said. “Still, they said the same thing when radio was young. Actually, radio stimulated children’s interest in the world around them and thev read more to learn more. “Television may have the same! result,” she added. “Certainly edu-| cators know the value of audio-| visual education and television Is] audio-visual.”

Library Specialist | Miss Scoggin, a _ native of Columbia, Mo., is the author of several books for teen-agers and is. young people's literature spe-| cialist for the New York Public! Library, She also conducts a weekly| book discussion over local radiol station WMCA, with a minimum! of 25 young persons forming her, studio discussion group. “It's from that program.” Miss! Scoggin commented, “that I real-| ly learn first hand what's hap-| pening to reading habits of the young folks, I'm also learning about their personalities.” She said in the quarter of a century she's been working with young people she's noticed their reading taste brdadening, and their reading age advancing.
