Neglecting Our Youth
On all sides, and from nationwide
surveys being made, we are told that
juvenile delinquency is on the in
crease. especially among hoys be
tween the ages of 10- and 17. And the
tragedy is that a large 'majority of
these law offenders come from good
families. * r .
The most common denominator in
youth delinquency is found in pater
nal neglect. Broken homes., alcohol
ism. gambling, divorces and other
iactors enter into most of the cases,
but the chief fault appears to he with
parents who turn th£ir children loose
