Parents Are CareIess-'If the par
ents have no more interest in their
children than to allow them to roam
the streets at all hours of the day and
night we will take an interest in them
and send them to an institution where
the proper restraint will be exercised"
said DIR. j. II. Browder, probation Of
fcer in lecturing youthful delinquent
who was brought before him. Il am
getting tired of this thing of careless,
slovenly. Indifferent parents allowing
their children to roam the streets. They
do not seem to know where they are
and they do not care. All of these
boys are going to get into trouble,
sooner or later. They grow up in an
atmosphere that is not conducive TO
good citizenship. These boys can see
too much on the streets. They are
roaming around the railroad yards. |;
They find boys older and more tough |
ened to the wheels of the law than they |
are and they are led into mischief.
am going TO keep these boys OH the /
streets If ! have to send every one OF
them to a state institution. We have
tried to be lenient with the parents /
and they have taken advantage OF 1t.
It's now up to them to show some dis
position to watch and care for their
own children. If they don't, we will.
Fugitive Wife Is App
