Correspondent Calls Attention to
The Need of Proper Supervision
OF ChiIdren's Mental and Physi-
cal Development.

Mr. Editor:
Dear Sir.-Perhaps never in the
history of Dorchester county and
its county seat, Cambridge, has the
material welfare OF this section
been SO greatly advertised. Its ma
tural assets-oysters, crabs, fish,
and farm produce-are all boosted
to demonstrate the county's great
ness.
The leading citizens are ever
alert to add to its manufacturers
improve its streets and roads, build
canals and railroads, organize coun-
ty fairs-an for the material ad-
yancement of the county.
But, you leading men of Dorches7
ter, you are so engrossed in the
countys material advancement that,
IN MY opinion, you have overlook
ed it's greatest, most important, land
most valuable asset-The Rising
Generation.
True, all material welfare is to
the advantage of your maturing
young men and women. You say
the churches will take care of their
moral and spiritual welfare, and
the schools their mental-but do
they?
And what do these young people
do in their leisure hours-what do
they do to improve their moral and
spiritual view of life? Nothing
that is particularly conducive to
healthy minds or bodies.
Gentlemen, you are leaving too
much in the young peoples hands.
They need older minds to guide
them. One of your leading bust
ness men has said that, in proper
tion to the population, there is
more downright wickedness in Cam
bridge than in New York city, and
I believe he is right.
And why is this so? 1t is be-
cause the young people lack the
means of healthy recreation, and
because you are so engrossed in
money-making, in attracting outside
capital, in boosting the material ad-
vantages of Dorchester, that you
are not giving the necessary thou
ght to the diversions that your
young men and women should
have.
A remedy, you ask? Yes-orga-
nize clubs for the young people,
where they may meet, under intel
Igent supervision; direct their
work or play therein, have lee
lures delivered on timely topics
in short, have a wide-awake orga-
nization, where young people will
learn to look at life with a bigger,
broader, more intelligent and more
wholesome view.
1t may not gain you the dollars
and cents that factories, canals and
fairs will, but the dividends will
be infinitely greater in the better
men and women that proper gui-
dance and interest will make.
realize that this is material
s3stic age but why does not CAM
bridge take the precedent, as it
does in so many other things, and
start making more wholesome men
and women who will make the world
a better and happier place.
Think this matter over; question
yourself. What does my boy or
girl do in his or her idle hours?
What are they doing to make them
selves better men and women?
What am doing to guide and in
fluence them? Subscriber

climbed to the top and seated himself

care and vigilance Of the little man
took the farce out of it.
