Judge Wilbur Speaks
The lecture of the current events !
hour was given today by Judge Cur
tbs D. Wilbur of the juvenile court |
on the subject The Duty of Parents |
to Children as shown by the Juvenile !
Court" He emphasized the fact that |
the first essential to parenthood is a |
clean, pure life from birth up. Every
thing that improves or educates a man |
or woman is ga fulfilment of the pur-
pose of parenthood. The evolution of |
the race, he said, demands that every
child should be better and nobler than |
its predecessor. Judge Wilbur spoke |
of the habits of the parents before the |
child was born. emphasizing the effects
of bad habits upon the offspring. He
said that after the birth of the child |
the habits of the parents should be no |
less guarded. because the children are |
bound to copy after them.
He urged that parents take care to |
prolong their lives as long as possible
and take no unnecessary risks, since
the orphan or half-orphan is more apt
to go wrong" than are other children. |
He urged, too, that for this reason par
ents should not patronize the divorce !
courts.
The records of the juvenile court |
Show" he said, that the parents of |
80 per cent of the youthful offenders |
have been separated, either by death or
Religious training in the home is |
necessary, and children should be sent |
to school with regularity. Truancy |
was said to be the first symptom of
a moral breakdown.
