Parents get offended and characterize
our work as an interference without
warrant, forgetting the fact that VIC
never investigate a case unless COM
paint has been filed by some one,
thiukng too that we are taking the in
itiatiNe In the matter and that they
are able to manage their own children
without our assistance. The majority
Of parents, however, cooperate heartily
with us, rendering all the assistance
they can.
Concerning adults who have been
guilty Of contributing to the delin-
quency of children, we have warned
offenders and IL the offense has been
repeated we have filed charges
and pushed the prosecution with con-
siderable vigor.
In view OF the conditions which eS-
list and the work we have already
done we feel that we are entitled to
7 the help and cooperation of the
public generally. We expect the
legislature, which is soon to convene.
to more adequately provide for the
conduct OF the work; we expect tho

man and woman in the community.
We arc making the Improvement and
strengthening OF the unsatisfactory

work aud with the help that we feel
we have u right to expect We are
hopeful of doing effectual work in re-
moving the greatest cause of juvenile
delinquency. We are actuated by the
desire to make good citizens Of the

TREATMENT.
Now what is to be done? To merely
point out causes without indicating tht
remedy would be as foolish as for the
physician to spend his whole time and
energy i'll making Il diagnosis ana then
With great dignity tell the patients
sorrowing friends what IS the mat
ter without telling them what to do.
If 1t be granted that the most preg-
nant cause of juvenile delinquency is
unsatisfactory homes, then one thing
is clear--those homes must be i'm
proved.
Now. SO far as the homes Of the flu
ture are concerned. they can be inn
proVd by creating and working to u
new ideal in education which holds
that home building is the essential
thing-thn big thing IN life II cduca-
ton is to prepare for life it must pre-
pare for BODYBUILDING ana parenthood.
Get away from the old idea OF the
classical course in the high school Only
s per cent of the high school pupils go
beyond that work educationaily any
way. Let the high school adapt its in
structions to the needs Of the 50 per
cent who never go further.
But whatever is done for the home OF
the future there must be something
done to improve the unsatisfactory
homes that already exist That is the
work which the Juvenile court is trying
to do. We must supplement the home.
In these cases when Improvement can
be made without lesortint; TO radical
means We advise parents what to do.
We try to make the child feel that we
are his friend and that in order TO be
his true friend we must sustain his
father and mother in the proper use OF
their authority in dealing with him.

Sometimes children are placed in

tory homes escape these things. Sol
say again. that the unsatisfactory
home is the great cause OF delinquency.
In the few cases where the parents
themselves are not either directly or
indirectly responsible, it will be found
that some adult has contributed to the
Bchild's delinquency, 1t may be the
man who sells tobacco to boys or the
proprietor Of cigar stand who with
apparent innocence is teaching boys to

to play the slot machines. or the liquor

Etutions. We cannot in view of such
evidence ignore the influence of hered-f
ity in the production of delinquency.
In considering this subject, however, it
must not be forgotten that in most
cases assumed to be the results Of
hereditary causes the wrong tendency Is
due to an unconscious imitation of the
most familiar elements of the child's
environment, and to determine Just
what is due to heredity and what to
environment in the case OF any particu
lar child is u most difficult problem.

A Trip in the County.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
On our arrival at Batesburg last
week we met our friend Walter J.
McCartha with smiles all over his
face over two babies at his home, one
boy and one girl. The little gent is a
blonde and the little lady is a brunette
and if you ever saw a proud man,
Walter is one.
We found the merchants in Bates
burg in very good humor and business
seemed fair.
Our next point was Leesville where
we found business good and every
body in good spirits. We found our
old friend DIR. D. M. Crosson, sailing
around over the country, looking
after his patients in a 5000 automobile,
twenty horse power, and now makes
his visits in less than half the time
than with horse and buggy.
We feel a little delicacy in saying
who the good people of Lexington
county should place in the various
offices of the county, but being my
old home county, we feel that we
have a warm spot in our heart for
her welfare, and desire to say that
there is no better man in the county
that could represent the people better
in the State legislature than DR..
D. M. Crosson.
Mr.. Editor, what has been done to-
wards building the steel bridge across
Saluda river, for the convenience of
the people of the Fork to reach Lex
ington? If the taxpayers of the
county and the business men of the
town of Lexington would visit some
of her sister counties and see the con-
venience in bridges, they would 60
back home and build a bridge across
Saluda river before they could get
ready. The time is not far distant be-
fore we will have to be taxed to keep
up our public roads. We can well
afford to be taxed to keep up our
public highways for we can more than
save the tax in vehicles and horses in
every twelve months.
While visiting the town of Gilbert
we grasped the arm hand of another
friend, Mr.. R. L. Keisler. B.B.H.
