worthy of their most hearty support and
corporation. Mr. Hanson is not only
oonversant with his theme and an
authority on matters of which he speaks
but discusses them in an intensely
interesting and foroeful manner.
Mr.. Hanson,in talking yesterday about
the movement, said:
When we come to the final analysis OF
onr social problems as regards crime,
dependents and the social vices. it Ia kes
US back to the child Our most serious
business must be that of prevention
rather than cure to prevent the crime
rather thru to prosecute the criminal.
"EAery boy and girl should have the
right to grow and develop into manhood
eud womanhood. under the most favorable
environment possible The unnecessary
eviIs-that is evil condoned or supplied by
the oommunity-shouldb be prohibited and
thus removed from the path of the child
and in their place the wholesome and
constructive supplied. The social at
mosphere and environment in the life of
the youth todayis very largely denominat-
ed by the commoroialized amusement
world. When careful study is made
Of the influences emanating from this
source, it is quite apparent what the
inevitable must be.
The local community must be made
the unit of supervision and be brought to
assume moral responsibility with respect
to every child and every home.
The community should exercise a
sane. but rigid censorship over CONNER
clalized amusments. prohibiting every
thing tending to violate right standards
of life or suggesting impure or criminal.
and on the other hand recognize the
social element-pay life of the youth
and corporation in supplying the
wholesome and constructive. We can
affod to spend a little money here in
oontructiye character and home
building.
When the city needs a head and
supervisor for their schools they secure
a man trained and efficient. hold it is
more important that the city shold provide
the efficient ann trarind expert to direct
and supervise in that broad field that
tends to the making or unmaking of ihe
youth and which underlies all other
training"
