Wrong Homes.

From the Pittsburg Gazette Times.
Parental responsibility has come TO a
low ebb and discipline is almost obsolete.
The sacredness of the home has become
farce in too many cases: the father thinks
the bowling alley is far more sacred and
the mother plays bridge or euchre as re-
taxation from household cares. Children
are hustled off to school at the earliest
possible age, just to get them out of the
way. and then parents too often look to
the school to do the rest. The breathless
whirl OF easure-seeking also reacts upon
the child. Vaudeville shows and skating
Kinks absorb the time and nervous energy
that used to be conserved at the freSlde
around the evening lamp. The solidarity
of the family is impaired-each member
goes his own way: lodge. missionary So
ciety, dance. basket ball game. pool room
or street, and anon the saloon. No care
is exercised over the young peoples
choice of companions: late hours are kept
without reproof or question. Does the
father who reads this know where his boy
was last night? Does the mother know
where her girl was? Do they both realize
that the enactment of a curfew law Is an
insult to them. 1t means that many
their children that the authorities must
threaten action to set them 10 do their
duty.
We would need no truant officers nor
Juvenile courts If homes were conducted
as they should be. Ii cheap amuSements
and soui-deadening pastimes were ia
booed aud housekeeping habits were re-
! ViVsd. and parents realized that they are
responsible for their children. not the
teacher or tne policemen, penitentiar!es
| would be less crowded and socialists
would have less to talk about. The home
/ is the basis of society. 1t is sad, but
| true. az Judge Lindsey has said that
something is wrong with the homes"
